New Delhi, Feb 26 (ANI): Minister of State for Finance P K Bansal on Tuesday said that the Sixth Pay Commission would submit its report by April 4.

The commission was constituted in October 2006 to recommend changes in salary structure of the government employees.

"The Commission is to finalise and submit its report within 18 months of its constitution, that is 4th April, 2008," Bansal told Rajya Sabha in a written reply.

Commenting on the implementation of the commission's recommendations, Bansal said that as the report was yet to be submitted "the time frame for its implementation cannot be stated."

Talking about media reports that there would be a good hike in salaries of civil service staff, the minister said that it might be speculative. (ANI)
