What the pay commission had sought from us was a data based submission in which we gave it all of the statistics, trends and so forth. It is not up to us to make recommendations. It is up to the pay commission to make recommendations to the Government. Of course, the interface and dialogue are ongoing with the pay commission, the Department and the military. Why would one have a pay commission to make recommendations if we were to make recommendations to the pay commission?
