Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The 8th Pay Commission is the body that will revise the pay, allowances and pensions of about 49 lakh central government employees and about 65 lakh pensioners. The Union Cabinet approved its Terms of Reference on 28 October 2025, and the government constituted the commission on 3 November 2025 with an 18-month mandate. The commission itself is official. Its fitment factor, the revised pay matrix and the effective date are not yet announced, so every salary number on this page that relates to the 8th CPC is an estimate, not an entitlement.
