7th Pay Commission: Defence forces to get 10% arrears before October 30 as 'Diwali gift'

Even as the Central government and the three defence chiefs are trying to sort out a dispute over the new pay grades for the army, navy and the air force, the BJP government has planned a temporary payment for the armed forces.

The defence ministry has said a "pending issuance" of the pay commission notification has been sanctioned by the president on ad-hoc basis. The arrears will be 10 percent of the current pay drawn by the soldiers, which would be calculated from January 2016, the Economic Times reported.
