The West Bengal government today announced setting up of the state's Fifth Pay Commission for recommending new wage structure for its 10 lakh employees, following the adoption of the sixth pay panel's report by the Centre.

In case the government implements the sixth pay commission with effect from January 1, 2006, it will put an extra burden of Rs 2,500 crore on the state exchequer in terms of arrears. The state will need Rs 810 crore every year.
At present, the state government has 160,000 employees even as 65,000 jobs are lying vacant. In case these posts are filled, the government will require Rs 1,500 crore every year.
The government has come under considerable pressure after the Uttar Pradesh government announced its decision to implement the sixth pay panel recommendations. The state employees are hoping that they will get a hike of 25 per cent.
The main task of the committee will be to devise ways and means for the implementation of the sixth pay commission report in the hill state.
