Comparison Between 7th Pay Commission & 6th Pay Commission

We all know, 7th Pay Commission Terms of Reference was approved by the Union Cabinet a few days back and was published in the Gazette of India on February 28, 2014.
Here is a comparison of 7th Pay Commission and 6th Pay Commission Terms of References to get an idea about what the Government wants 7th Pay Commission to study and recommend as far as the Pay and Allowances and other service related matters of Central Government Employees.
It could be found that one of the main differences between these Central Pay Commission's Terms of References is Government's reference for studying the need by Pay Commission for allowing Interim Relief. While 6th Pay Commission's Terms of References has the specific mention about this requirement which is given as follows:
Sixth Pay Commission Terms of Reference
“……
G. To examine desirability and the need to sanction any interim relief till the time the recommendations of the Commission are made and accepted by the Government. *A. vi substituted by Ministry of Finance Resolution No.5/2/20006-E.III (A) dated the 7th December, 2006. **A. vii substituted by Ministry of Finance Resolution No.5/2/2006-E.III (A) dated the 8th August, 2007.
—–”
However, there is no reference of Interim Relief that could be found in the 7th Pay Commission Terms of Reference. It implies that unlike it was specifically done in Sixth Pay Commission Terms of Reference, Government did not refer Seventh Pay Commission to study the possibility of allowing Interim Relief to Central Government Employees and Pensioners.
