When will the 8th Pay Commission be constituted? More than 1 crore employees of the center are looking for this answer. The formation of this new pay commission has been discussed for a long time, but no solution is coming out. However, this time the big update on the eighth pay commission. Because after every 10 years a new pay commission is formed. The 7th Pay Commission is going to complete its 10 years in January 2026. Because of this, it is expected that a new pay commission will be formed soon.
8th Pay Commission: When will the 8th Pay Commission be constituted?
Usually, the central government constitutes a Pay Commission every 10 years. The current 7th Pay Commission was constituted in 2014, and its recommendations were implemented in January 2016. The term of the Pay Commission ends on January 1, 2006. The central government employees are demanding that the 8th Pay Commission be constituted soon so that it can be implemented by January 2026, as it will take several months for the panel to give its recommendations.
However, according to reports, the 8th Pay Commission is expected to be formed in 2025. These reports have come when the government has so far denied its formation. According to News18, a senior member of the employees’ union said that representatives of many central government employees recently met the Cabinet Secretary and demanded the 8th Pay Commission.
The secretary said that the year 2026 is far away and it is too early to form the commission. The 8th Pay Commission is likely to be constituted next year, he said.
How much salary will increase in the 8th Pay Commission?
Although the salary of central government employees was increased by about 23 percent in the current 7th Pay Commission, it was increased significantly in the last 6th Pay Commission. However, according to reports, after the 8th Pay Commission, the minimum pay may increase to around Rs 34,500 compared to Rs 18,000 at present.
8th Pay Commission: DA hike formula may change
At present, the DA hike for central employees is according to the formula of the 7th Pay Commission. However, the formula could also be amended, as the Economic Survey 2024 suggested that the exclusion of food inflation in India’s inflation structure should be considered. A member of the employees’ union said that the formula for the DA hike is likely to be revised in the 8th Pay Commission.
