The third pay commission added three concepts of inclusiveness, comprehensibility, and adequacy for the pay structure to be sound.

  1. The Commission believed that the most practical and equitable method for determining Service pay would be based on a fair comparison with the pay rates fixed for the civilian employees of the Central Government.
  2. This nexus becomes relevant and desirable when we recall that recruitment to our Armed Forces is voluntary, which means that persons have to be attracted to civilian life.
  3. The quality of recruitment to the Armed Forces will be satisfactory only if Service pays are comparable to remuneration levels in civilian employment.
  4. Therefore, a link between the two is inherent in the case of volunteer armed forces.
