The 8th Pay Commission is expected to submit its recommendations in 12-18 months. Meanwhile, several employee unions and pensioners' bodies have raised multiple concerns around the existing TOR. One of the biggest issues they have highlighted is the absence of specific mention of pension revision provision in the TOR.
