8th Pay Commission: The Central Government has announced the 8th Pay Commission. This announcement of the government has a wave of happiness among the central employees. Since then, central employees have been waiting to implement it. However, it is proposed to implement the Eighth Pay Commission from 1 January 2026, which will begin the last quarter of the financial year 2025-26. The government has not yet issued the Terms of References for the Pay Commission. That is, the government has not yet made it clear from its behalf that it will be implemented from when it will be implemented.
The 8th Pay Commission will not be written in the document
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav had said during the announcement that the announcement of the commission before time would provide enough time to implement it. This indicated that it could be implemented from the proposed date itself. But there was no provision related to this in the government document. This is a little disappointment among the employees. Budget 2025 announced several schemes for taxpayers. There was no mention related to the expenditure of the pay commission. This raises the question whether the government can implement it in 2026 from some other month? Central employees are now waiting for the government to clearly find out about the situation.
The 8th Pay Commission will be applicable from 1 January 2026?
The recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission set up for revision in salary and allowances of about 50 lakh employees of the central government and 65 lakh pensioners are unlikely to be implemented from 1 January 2026. Let us tell you that earlier the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission were implemented in 2016. Then there was a big increase in the salary of government employees. However, the final decision has not been taken to implement the 8th Pay Commission. For this reason, no official announcement has been made on when it will be implemented.
Cabinet approves 8th Pay Commission
On 16 January 2025, the Union Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved the formation of the 8th Pay Commission. This commission will review the pay scale of central government employees and allowances of pensioners. The government has indicated that the recommendations of this commission can see a big change in salary structure. Employees and pensioners hope that this commission will increase the salary well, which will increase their ability to buy.
How much can salary increase?
If the fitment factor 2.08 is fixed, the minimum basic salary of central employees can increase from Rs 18,000 to Rs 37,440. At the same time, pension can increase from Rs 9,000 to Rs 18,720. But if the fitment factor goes to 2.86, the salary may increase by 186%. If this happens, the minimum salary can increase by Rs 51,480 and pension to Rs 25,740.
