This is further to my DO letter No.

through which the views of your Ministry were sought on the various
aspects of the broad issues that the Seventh Pay Commission is mandated

apart from the views already sought, the Commission would also need
specific data / information on some of the focus areas viz., personnel

contractual staff, training and skill development of personnel, etc.
Accordingly, templates for seeking the necessary data have been prepared
and are enclosed herewith. Each of the focus areas is covered in a
separate Annexure. Data provided by the Ministries / Departments will be
crucial in analyzing the key parameters to be studied by the
Commission.

shared through the Open Government Data(OGD) platform (data.gov.in).

activity the pre-designed spreadsheets in XLS format and fill them in

be uploaded through the data.gov.in. The Data Controllers of
data.gov.in are already familiar with process and methodology of

nominated the Data Controller, this may kindly be done in accordance
with the instructions as contained in the letter of the Cabinet
Secretary dated July 18, 2012 in this regard. The weblink of the letter

Yours Sincerely,
