Online Portal Launch and Eligible Categories
Under Notification No. 05/7PC-1/2026 (dated September 2, 2026), the submission portal is now live at https://7spc.wb.gov.in. Staff associations covered under Finance Department Resolution No. 2657-F(P1) (dated July 22, 2026) are invited to submit their joint proposals.
At the same time, individual serving staff members and retired personnel can also directly input their views regarding salary matrices, allowances, career progression rules, and retirement packages.
Key Deadline and Strict Submission Terms
The window for submitting representations through the online system closes on October 31, 2026. The portal will accept entries until midnight on that date.
Crucially, the Commission has set strict parameters for submission. Physical paper copies, letters sent by post, structural PDFs attached to emails, or offline hard copies will be rejected outright. Only representations routed through the official online module will be scrutinized.
Scope of Recommendations
Employees and pensioners can put forward structured recommendations covering several core service areas:
- Pay Matrix and Basic Salary: Suggestions regarding new ROPA revisions and pay matrix adjustments.
- Allowances: Proposals for upward revision of House Rent Allowance (HRA), Dearness Allowance (DA), and specialized allowances.
- Career Advancement: Recommendations to refine promotion guidelines and remove bottlenecks in the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS).
- Retirement Benefits: Modalities covering pension revisions, gratuity ceilings, and medical allowance reviews for retirees.

Practical Impact on Government Employees
Impact: Moving the entire submission process online spares teachers, clerks, police personnel, and pensioners the hassle of physically visiting Nabanna or Bikash Bhavan. Anyone can now file their suggestions securely from home with supporting service documentation.
Staff associations relying on legacy physical paperwork must pivot immediately, as paper-based mail will not be processed by the authorities. To avoid potential portal downtime caused by last-minute server rush, employees are advised to compile their service details and complete their online filings well ahead of the October 31 deadline.
