There was considerable improvement and the 7^th Central Pay Commission heard us.  7the Central Pay Commission has given enough time for us.

We, because of our Strength, have successfully highlighted the problems, and gross injustice rendered to the Gazetted Officers. We are achieving a greater Unity with the JCM Staff Side Organisations. Broad understanding has been reached on all major issues like minimum wage, increment, all allowances, fitment formulae, fixation benefit and other terminal benefits.
