Launching the BJP's manifesto for the West Bengal polls 2026, Shah announced Rs 3,000 monthly financial aid for women, implementation of the Uniform Civil Code among other things.
The recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, were approved by the Union Cabinet in June 2016. The official implementation date was set as 1 January 2016 for central government employees along with arrears. The pay and pensionary benefits were rolled out within the 2016-17 financial year.
The recommendations of the pay commission benefitted over 1 crore employees. This includes over 47 lakh central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners, of which 14 lakh employees and 18 lakh pensioners are from the defence forces.
The minimum pay was been increased from Rs 7000 to 18000 per month.

It also signified that pay of a Class I officer on direct recruitment will be three times the pay of an entrant at lowest level.
For the purpose of revision of pay and pension, a fitment factor of 2.57 was applied across all Levels in the Pay Matrices. Rate of increment was retained at 3 percent.
The Gratuity ceiling was enhanced from Rs. 10 to 20 lakh and ceiling on gratuity is to increase by 25 percent whenever DA rises by 50 percent.
The Commission also examined a total of 196 existing Allowances and, by way of rationalization, recommended abolition of 51 Allowances and subsuming of 37 Allowances.
