Will 8th Pay Commission be implemented from the year 2026 or not? What was decided in 2025, understand everything from DA-DR to arrears
These days many claims are being made on social media regarding the 8th Pay Commission, but the truth is something else. By the end of the year 2025, it has become clear that the new pay commission will be implemented directly from January 1, 2026? It is not right to say this at the moment.

Government should take these three important steps in 2025
Let us tell you that in 2025, the government must take three important steps regarding the 8th Pay Commission.
- First- The Central Government decided that the 8th Pay Commission will be constituted to review the salaries, pensions and allowances of employees and pensioners.
- Secondly, the government formally constituted this commission and also appointed its chairman and other members.
- Third- The government notified the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the 8th Pay Commission.
The government also held talks with different ministries and employee organizations before and after the release of the ToR. NC-JCM (Staff Side) was involved in this, which submitted many suggestions related to salary, pension and allowances to the government.
The biggest question – When will the Eighth Pay Commission be implemented?

At the same time, the question is arising that what are the employees and pensioners going to get in 2026? The 10-year period of the 7th Pay Commission is ending on 31st December 2025, but the government has not yet clarified whether the 8th Pay Commission will be implemented from 1st January 2026 or not. Recently, the government has indicated in Parliament that the decision on the date of implementation will be taken when the Pay Commission submits its recommendations.
So will there be a possibility of getting arrears from January 1, 2026?
This means that it would not be right to expect an immediate increase in salaries and pensions from January 1, 2026. However, whenever the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission are implemented, employees and pensioners will continue to receive arrears from January 1, 2026. The reason for this is that usually the pay commission is considered effective from the date when the previous commission ends.
Very little chance of recommendations coming in 2026!
According to the report, the chances of recommendations coming in 2026 are very less. The commission has got about 18 months to submit its report. In such a situation, the chances of recommendations coming in 2027 and getting government approval thereafter are considered high. Till then, employees and pensioners will continue to get increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) under the 7th Pay Commission. That means there is still time for a big salary increase, but the story does not end here.
