SCPC: Armed Forces will get fair salaries

Goverment bends, armed forces win fight for fair salaries. The Central government will soon issue a new notification on revised salaries for the country's defence services. The difference in salaries between Lt Colonels and their civilian counterparts and Lt Generals and Directors General of Police will be removed. The Government agreed to study the defence services' demand after they almost refused implement the Sixth Pay Commission's recommendations. Defence Minister A K Antony on Wednesday down played the controversy and said there were no differences between the government and the armed forces over the pay commission's report.
