8th Pay Commission: how much money officers up to level 8, level 9, soldiers & JCOs are getting as Siachen allowance under 7th Pay commission?
After the execution of 'Operation Sindoor' the life of soldiers and officers whose posting is in tough areas are discussed recently. Let us take a look at the Siachen Allowance provided to Jawans, JCOs (Level 8 and below), and Officers (Level 9 and above) under the 7th Pay Commission. Siachen Allowance Under 7th Pay Commission
Considering the extreme challenges in weather and risks faced by officers deployed in Siachen, the 7th Central Pay Commission has given Siachen Allowance in the RH-Max cell with two new slabs. The allowance rates were increased as follows:
For Jawans and JCOs (Level 8 and below): From Rs 14,000 to Rs 30,000 per month.
For Officers (Level 9 and above): From Rs 21,000 to Rs 42,500 per month.
This increase in Siachen Allowance is more than double its earlier rate. It will benefit the soldiers and officers who work in high-risk and high-altitude regions. Tough Location Allowance (TLA)
In addition to the Siachen Allowance, the 7th CPC also revised other geographical allowances. Tough Location Allowance (TLA) replaced several allowances like Special Compensatory (Remote Locality) Allowance (SCRLA), Sunderban Allowance, and Tribal Area Allowance.
The rates for TLA are categorized into three groups on the basis of geographical and weather conditions. It ranges between Rs 1,000 and Rs 5,300 per month, as per different cells of the R&H Matrix. Special Duty Allowance
The 7th CPC suggested that TLA should not be given in combination with Special Duty Allowance (SDA) in areas like the North-East, Ladakh, and the Islands. But employees were given the option to take SCRLA at pre-revised rates with SDA at revised rates. 8th Pay Commission Speculations
As discussions on the formation of the 8th Pay Commissions are going on, there is curiosity about the revisions for central government employees salary. Though nothing is officially announced yet, the 7th CPC allowances provide hints about the 8th Pay Commission.

Scotland man Angus Gunn understands Rangers' pursuit of Russell Martin
Gunn, who is training with the Scotland squad at Lesser Hampden this week ahead of the national team's friendly internationalist against Iceland at Hampden on Friday evening and Liechtenstein on Monday night, can understand why the Govan outfit's new hierarchy are interested in bringing him in. Read more: 'I only worked with him as a player at Norwich,' he said. 'He's a very intellectual guy. I went in there as a young goalkeeper and he helped me massively, even though he wasn't in the team every week and playing regularly. 'He was the captain of the club and he had good relationships with everyone in the dressing room. Obviously, watching what he's done at Southampton, I thought he'd done incredibly well there. 'He probably was unfortunate to lose his job there because it's always difficult for teams coming up from the Championship to even compete with some of the Premier League teams. (Image: Andrew Milligan) 'I watch him now on the TV and can see the way he wants to play and his philosophy. I really hope whatever he goes on to in his career is successful. 'I don't know if he's going to go to Rangers or not, but obviously he had a spell there as well, so he kind of knows the club a little bit. I think it would be a really good thing for the Rangers, to be fair.' Read more: Gunn, who is set to win his 16th cap for his adopted homeland against Iceland, knew early on that Martin, who played 29 times for the country of his father's birth in the 2010s, was destined to become a manager when he started playing with him at Norwich. 'There were a few other players in that dressing room who were like that,' he said. 'Steven Naismith was there as well. But you can definitely tell on the pitch when you're playing with players. They kind of start coaching whilst they're still playing, if you like, sort of organising on the pitch. 'He was one of them. But Russell wasn't just on the pitch, he was off the pitch as well, where he had close relationships with everyone. Even though, like I said, he wasn't a regular playing in the team, he was always on hand and always upbeat and a good person to go to.'

The 31-year-old Peaches singer has been concerning fans in recent weeks with his erratic online behaviour, which included lengthy rants to shocking admissions about his wife Hailey Bieber's US Vogue cover. In his latest Instagram post, over a pink background, he shared with his followers: "Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else's kids. Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn't have. The audacity. That's not your place. God decides what we deserve." Fans immediately shared their worries for the star in the comment section, with one user writing: "God told me you need a social media break," as over 21,000 fans liked the comment. "Brother didn't you tell your wife she could never be on the cover of vogue??" one person referenced his recent admission about a fight he had with his wife. Justin. You told Hailey she couldn't be on a cover of Vogue, isn't that telling her she couldn't have something ?" another person commented. Sorry singer Justin, who was recently centre of rumours surrounding his marriage to Hailey, was recently slammed by fans after he said he told his wife and mum of his son, Jack Blues, that she would never grace the cover of Vogue during a heated argument. Responding to her cover shot for the US edition of the magazine on Instagram, he mused: "'Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue. Yikes, I know, so mean. For some reason because I felt so disrespected, I thought I gotta get even. "Think as we mature we realise that we're not helping anything by getting even, we're honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection." He concluded his post by writing a message directly to Hailey, which read: "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken." While some claimed he was simply joking, many slammed the Canadian singer over his comments. He soon replaced the caption with a shrugging emoji. Fans noticed the change, with one writing: "Not him changing the caption." Not long after, it was revealed Hailey struck a huge deal to sell her beauty and skincare brand Rhode to e.l.f. Beauty in a transaction that could reach a staggering £740 million ($1billion).

Family of Sarah Milgrim speaks out in first network TV interview since fatal D.C. Jewish museum shooting: "Sarah molded us"
The family of Sarah Milgrim, one of the two Israeli Embassy staffers who was shot and killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., last month, is remembering her as courageous, strong and striving for peace. Milgrim's parents, Robert and Nancy, and her older brother, Jacob, spoke to CBS News' Jonah Kaplan for their first network TV interview since the shooting about how they're processing their grief, Sarah's mission to promote peace in the Middle East and the rise in antisemitism in the United States. "Usually, a parent tries to mold their child. Sarah molded us," Robert Milgrim said. "She was a stronger person than I ever was." "I told Nancy after this happened that I'm a different person now than before this happened, from learning so much about what Sarah did and her courage and her striving for peace," he said. Wednesday marks two weeks since Milgrim and her boyfriend, Yaron Lischinsky, who also worked for the Israeli Embassy, were shot and killed as they left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum. Law enforcement officials described the attack as "targeted" and said the suspect shouted "Free Palestine" as he was being detained. He has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and other crimes. The interview with the Milgrim family airs Wednesday on "CBS Mornings" and "CBS Evening News."
