8th Pay Commission latest news: The government has given a big blow to the central employees. In fact, the Finance Ministry said on 3 December 2024 that there is no plan to constitute the Eighth Pay Commission in the near future. Let us tell you that more than one crore central government employees and pensioners are waiting for the formation of the 8th Pay Commission. Its implementation will increase the basic salary, allowances, pension and other benefits of the employees.

What did the government say

Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance Pankaj Chaudhary, in response to a question in the Rajya Sabha, said that at present no proposal is being considered to constitute the 8th Central Pay Commission. Actually, it was asked whether the central government is thinking of announcing the new pay commission in the Union Budget 2025-26.

Constituted every 10 years

The Central Pay Commission is generally constituted every 10 years to assess and suggest changes in the salaries, allowances and perks of central government employees. The 7th Pay Commission was constituted by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on February 28, 2014. It submitted its recommendations on November 19, 2015 and the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission came into effect from January 1, 2016.

Now the next pay commission i.e. 8th Central Pay Commission is expected to be implemented from January 1, 2026. Whenever a pay commission is implemented, it usually leads to a revision in the salary structure of central government employees and pensioners. The salary usually includes dearness allowance and dearness relief (DR). Currently, central employees get DA of 53 per cent. The same allowance is also given to pensioners. The government increases the allowance i.e. DA twice a year. This is done on a half-yearly basis.
