8th Pay Commission : Over 1 crore central employees and pensioners across the nation are eagerly holding their breath for the 8th Pay Commission. The government has once again created expectations. As per records so far, the central government has introduced a new pay commission approximately every 10 years. The first pay commission in India came into effect in January 1946, and the last, seventh pay commission was established in January 2016. Experts believe the 8th Pay Commission will be launched sometime in January 2026.
Statutes of 8th Pay Commission
Up to now, the government has not announced any formal notification concerning the constitution of the 8th Pay Commission. In the month of December last year, the government conveyed that there was no prospect in the establishment of the 8th Central Pay Commission. However, looking at the conclusion of general elections, the chance increased that the government may take a decision over this matter. Once the Pay Commission is formed, it usually takes 12 to 18 months for them to submit their recommendations.
Will the government bring the 8th Pay Commission?
Last year, Finance Secretary TV Somanathan told the media saying that the Central Government isn’t considering an 8th Pay Commission. However, following elections, the Modi government has accomplished a third-term, and it is most likely that the government might consider the 8th Pay Commission. This is expected regarding a disclosure on the recommendations for the 8th Pay Commission after the budget presentation in July.
Increase in salary because of 8th pay commission
Central government employees are waiting for the announcement of the 8th pay commission in the budget. If the government announces this, then there will be immense increase in the salary of government employees. From the lowest-to-highest level government employee, their salary will go up. Pay, pay scale, and allowances are determined on the basis of Pay Commission.
