The Cabinet has cleared all recommendations made by the Seventh Pay Commission report that will result in about 23.55 percent overall increase in salaries, allowances and pension for more than 1 crore government staff and pensioners.
The move is expected to give a big boost to the economy as consumption demand in urban areas is likely rise owing to the rising income levels.
