The 8th Pay Commission is all set to bring a major salary revision for central government employees starting January 1, 2026. After the 7th Pay Commission (2016–2025), the new pay structure aims to increase employee compensation, improve pension benefits, and ensure fair living standards in line with current economic trends.
The Union Cabinet approved the formation of the 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC) on January 16, 2025. It will review salaries, pensions, and allowances for nearly 48.62 lakh employees and 67.85 lakh pensioners across India.
