8th Pay Commission: Central government employees eagerly await the 8th Pay Commission. However, the government has currently refused to form it. This information was revealed in the Finance Ministry’s answer in the Rajya Sabha.
The seventh pay commission was implemented in 2016. After its implementation, the minimum salary increased from Rs 7000 to Rs 18000 per month, and the maximum wage was up to Rs 2.5 lakh per month. Usually, a new pay commission is formed every 10 years.
However, the government has not yet issued official information regarding the 8th Pay Commission. Usually, a new commission is formed every 10 years. If this trend continues, the commission can be announced and implemented by 2026.
However, this time,t the government may adopt a different method. Some senior government officials say that the government can use performance to increase employees’ salaries instead of forming a new pay commission. Due to the lack of an official announcement, employees are currently confused
On the other hand, the government will present its general budget on February 1, 2025, from which the central employees have great expectations. The employee class is likely that the government may announce the formation of the 8th Pay Commission while presenting the budget on February 1. However, the government has not yet officially said anything.

SB Yadav, General Secretary of the Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers, has also requested forming the 8th Pay Commission through a written letter to PM Modi. The General Secretary said the central employees were revised last January 1, 2016.
