"We will get the Pay Commission's report in December. If the recommendations made in the report are easily implementable then it will not take much time to implement them. If the report needs a review then more time will be needed.

"But no matter whenever we implement, it will be effective from July 1, 2015," he told reporters on Tuesday after a meeting with representatives of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The government had formed the 17-member Commission headed by former central bank governor Mohammad Farashuddin on Nov 24 last year.
