New Delhi: The armed forces were yesterday asked for their suggestions on a separate pay panel that the Prime Minister's Office has cleared for them, an official said.
"The service headquarters has received a note from the defence ministry seeking suggestions on how to go about constituting a separate pay panel for the defence forces," the official added, requesting anonymity.
The note was sent along with a letter from the PMO on the decision on a separate pay commission for the armed forces to delink their salary revision from other government employees.
The office also earlier sent a letter to the cabinet secretary on December 31, 2008.
