"The issue relating to payment of interim relief has been included as one of the terms of reference of the 6th CPC," he said adding the Commission has said it will give its report as early as possible.
Chidambaram, who faced a volley of questions, assured that steps would be taken to avoid anamolies while implementing the recommendations of the Pay Commission.
"After the Pay Commission submits its report, the government will have to consider it carefully and then take decisions. Usually, after decisions are taken, some anamolies are brought to our notice and they are addressed in a manner which is well settled within the government," he said.
"I will try not to give room for any possible anamolies," he said.
