8th Central Pay Commission
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced on Thursday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved the establishment of the 8th Central Pay Commission for government employees. The announcement was made during a press briefing in Delhi to discuss recent cabinet decisions.
The minister pointed out that since India’s independence, seven pay commissions have been formed to revise the salaries and benefits of central government employees. He remarked, “For your information, our Prime Minister has approved the formation of the 8th Central Pay Commission for all central government employees.”
Vaishnaw highlighted the Prime Minister’s commitment to maintaining a consistent schedule for introducing pay commissions. He mentioned that the 7th Pay Commission, which began in 2016, will conclude its term in 2026. “In line with the Prime Minister’s commitment, the 7th Pay Commission commenced in 2016 and will complete its tenure in 2026,” he stated.
The minister also noted that initiating the 8th Pay Commission well before 2025 allows sufficient time for reviewing and finalizing recommendations. This proactive approach ensures the government can implement the proposed changes seamlessly before the 7th Pay Commission’s term ends.
Pay commissions play an essential role in structuring salaries, allowances, and other benefits for government employees, significantly influencing the livelihoods of millions of workers and pensioners across the nation.
The announcement of the 8th Pay Commission reflects the government’s dedication to meeting the financial and professional needs of its workforce. For central government employees, it offers assurance of fair and timely revisions to their pay scales and benefits, aligned with evolving economic conditions and policy priorities.
