A meeting on the allowance updates regarding the 7th Pay Commission is likely to be held today. Central Government employees who have been waiting for an update since the past year could soon hear some good news as the Empowered Committee of Secretaries (E-CoS) is expected to hold a meeting today. Many reports suggested that the meting would be held today. Once a decision is taken the same would be placed before the Union Cabinet fora final approval. The process is likely to take at least a week, sources also said. 

The Ashok Lavasa-leld Committee on Allowances has already submitted its review report on the 7th Pay Commission to Finance Minister Arun Jaitely nearly a month ago. 

Cabinet Secretary P K Singh and officials from Home Affairs, Personnel and Training, Health and Family Welfare, Railways and Post are likely to attend the Empowered Committee of Secretaries meeting. The meeting would take into account the demands made by the various employees' unions.
