The 7th Pay Commission was implemented in the year 2016 and came as a relief to the existing 5th Pay Commission. However, the increase in the teacher's pay is yet to be reflected on the paycheck.
Even though it was implemented in 2016, teachers are still getting paid according to the 5th Pay Commission. The Bombay University and College Teachers Union (BUCTU) has written to the authorities expressing their discontent about the same. According to the union, the difference between the 5th Pay Commission and 7th Pay Commission is about ₹25,000 which the teachers are being deprived of.
