8th Pay Commission highest salary fixation: Minimum, maximum pays so far and why employee bodies want to fix them

The Federation of National Postal Organisations proposes a 1:8 ratio, citing historical widening of the gap in recent commissions and advocating for a uniform multiplication factor and need-based minimum wage.
