Early Constitution of the 4th Pay Revision Committee for CPSE: BPDA Writes to PM: The BSNL & DoT Pensioners Association (India) (BPDA) has submitted a detailed representation to the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India on 08 July 2026, requesting the early constitution of the 4th Pay Revision Committee (PRC) for executives and non-unionised supervisors working in Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs).

The Association has urged the Government to initiate the pay revision process without delay so that the revised pay structure can be implemented in a timely manner, similar to the periodic pay revisions carried out for Central Government employees through the Central Pay Commissions.

Why is the 4th PRC Important?

Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) play a vital role in India’s economy. They contribute significantly in sectors such as:

Energy
Defence Production
Telecommunications
Mining
Infrastructure
Engineering
Transportation
Pharmaceuticals
Strategic Industries

The executives and supervisors working in these enterprises have been instrumental in improving productivity, operational efficiency and profitability. The Association argues that these employees deserve timely revision of their pay scales and service conditions in line with Government policy.

Background of Pay Revision Committees

The Government of India has traditionally revised the pay structure of employees through periodic commissions and committees.

7th Central Pay Commission

Approved by the Union Cabinet on 25 September 2013.
Constituted on 28 February 2014.
Chairman: Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur.
Report submitted on 19 November 2015.
Implemented from 01 January 2016.

8th Central Pay Commission

Constituted through Gazette Notification dated 03 November 2025.
Chairperson: Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai.
Reference date for implementation: 01 January 2026.
Given 18 months to submit its report.

The Association points out that while the Government has already initiated the process for the 8th Central Pay Commission, no similar announcement has yet been made for the 4th PRC applicable to CPSE executives.

Third Pay Revision Committee for CPSEs

The representation recalls that:

The 3rd Pay Revision Committee was constituted on 09 June 2016.
It was headed by Justice Satish Chandra.
The Committee submitted its report on 28 February 2017.
The revised pay structure was implemented with effect from 01 January 2017.

Since nearly ten years have elapsed, the Association believes it is the appropriate time to establish the next Pay Revision Committee.

Why Immediate Constitution of the 4th PRC is Necessary

The representation lists several reasons for constituting the Committee without delay.

1. Adequate Time for Comprehensive Review

An early constitution would allow sufficient time to examine:

Pay structure
Allowances
Career progression
Service conditions
Other employee benefits

2. Stakeholder Consultations

The Committee can hold consultations with:

CPSE Managements
Administrative Ministries
Public Sector Enterprises
Employee representatives

3. Reduce Employee Uncertainty

Timely constitution will improve confidence among executives and supervisors awaiting the next wage revision.

4. Improve Productivity

A motivated workforce contributes towards:

Higher productivity
Better governance
Operational excellence
Improved competitiveness

5. Maintain Established Practice

The Association also argues that synchronising CPSE pay revision with the broader Central Government pay revision process ensures administrative consistency and fairness.

National Perspective

The representation emphasizes that India is progressing towards the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047. A professionally managed and motivated workforce in Central Public Sector Enterprises is considered essential for achieving this national objective.

According to the Association, the constitution of the 4th PRC would not merely revise salaries but would reaffirm the Government’s commitment to strengthening India’s Public Sector Enterprises.

BPDA’s Four Key Demands

The Association has requested the Prime Minister to:

Immediately constitute the 4th Pay Revision Committee.
Appoint an eminent Chairperson and Members.
Issue the Terms of Reference without delay.
Ensure that the Committee completes its work within a reasonable timeframe so that implementation of revised pay is not delayed.

The Association believes that these measures will strengthen the confidence of thousands of executives and supervisors working in CPSEs across the country.

What Could Happen Next?

If the Government accepts the representation, the following developments may take place:

Announcement of the 4th Pay Revision Committee.
Appointment of a Chairperson and Members.
Issue of Terms of Reference (ToR).
Collection of views from CPSEs and stakeholders.
Submission of recommendations.
Government approval and implementation of revised pay scales.

Who Will Benefit?

Executives of Central Public Sector Enterprises.
Non-unionised Supervisors.
Future retirees from CPSEs.
Public Sector Organisations under the Central Government.
