8th Pay Commission Latest Update: The Eighth Pay Commission (CPC) is expected to be implemented from January 1, 2026, but more than one crore central government employees and pensioners will continue to work under the framework of the Seventh Pay Commission until the new structure is approved and notified. In such a situation, people’s expectations regarding increase in salary, pension revision, allowance and fitment factor are continuously increasing.

The government had approved the Terms of Reference (ToR) in the month of October. However, it may take 18 months or one and a half years for the commission to submit its recommendations. Changes will be made in the salary structure only on the basis of these recommendations. However, not everyone will get the benefit of the 8th Pay Commission.
