Let us tell you that despite seven months having passed, the appointment of members and chairman is still pending. The main objective of the 8th Pay Commission will be to improve the income of employees keeping in mind the impact of inflation.
It has been almost seven months since the Central Government announced the formation of the Eighth Pay Commission. However, the government has not yet moved forward towards its implementation. There is curiosity among the central employees about the 8th Pay Commission, but according to the latest reports, its implementation may be delayed till 2028.
If we look at the past trends, every pay commission has been implemented at an interval of about 10 years. The 6th Pay Commission was implemented in 2006 and the 7th Pay Commission in 2016, so it is likely that the 8th Pay Commission will also be implemented between 2026 and 2028 under the same pattern. At present, employees are getting relief through Dearness Allowance (DA) hike and other allowances, but they may have to wait a few more years for a change in the entire salary structure.
What is the detail
Let us tell you that despite seven months having passed, the appointment of members and chairman is still pending. The main objective of the 8th Pay Commission will be to improve the income of employees keeping in mind the impact of inflation. Under this commission, there is a possibility of changes in the basic salary, grade pay, allowances and pension structure. Employees believe that the current salary structure is inadequate according to the rate of inflation and rising expenses, so the need for a new salary structure is being felt. After the formation of the commission, experts will discuss with the employee organizations and the government and present recommendations. However, no official timeline has been revealed by the government in this regard yet.
Considering the economic conditions, government revenue and budgetary pressures, the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission may be delayed. If it is implemented by 2028, then the employees will have to balance the dearness allowance (DA hike) and other relief measures till then. In such a situation, central employees and pensioners may have to wait for a few more years.
Developments so far in the 8th Pay Commission
Let us tell you that the Center announced the 8th Pay Commission on January 16 this year. The employee side of the National Joint Consultative Council (NC-JCM) submitted a draft proposal to the Cabinet Secretary, listing their key demands. The NC-JCM is a forum for dialogue between the government and its employees, especially on matters of common interest and employee welfare. Since then, not much progress has been seen on the 8th Pay Commission.
Given the current pace, and when compared with the previous Pay Commission, the recommendations of the new Pay Commission will be implemented only by early 2028. This is because in the case of the 7th Pay Commission, it took 27 months from the date of official notification to the date of implementation. Therefore, assuming that the government formally notifies the 8th Pay Commission in August this year, its recommendations can realistically be implemented from January 2028. However, it is not necessary that the 8th Pay Commission will follow the same timeline as the 7th Pay Commission. In theory, the new panel’s recommendations could be implemented in record time.
