VII Pay Commission or 7th Pay Commission
It is a jubilation time for the Central govt and state govt employees as Finance Minister Shri P.Chidambaram in a statement said here today that the Prime Minister has approved the constitution of the Seventh Central Pay Commission. However the names of the committee forming seventh pay commission has been withheld and will be announced post consultation with major stakeholders.

The details of fourth, fifth and sixth Central Pay Commission's recommendations were implemented as following:
4th CPC - 01 Jan 1986
5th CPC - 01 Jan 1996
6th CPC - 01 Jan 2006

Implications of Pay commission for stock market
To be honest the seventh pay commision or VII Pay commission holds a lot of significance for Indians as it is going to put more money in the hands of govt employees which will in turn lead to higher consumption and will drive growth in all the sectors. For e.g. higher income means that more people can go for home which will rev up the real estate business and banking will auto get a boost by virtue of home loan demand. Just remember that a single home loan gives impetus to some 165 industries itself. Thus we will be out of any kind of recession and this was just one sole example and same yardstick can be applied to higher car sales and will boost automobile and in turn a number of associated industries.
