8th Pay Commission Update: All central employees and pensioners are going to be in for a treat. When will the central government implement the 8th Pay Commission? This remains a big question. The government had approved the 8th Pay Commission in January 2025, but it has not been constituted yet. Central employees are eagerly waiting for its formation.
It is believed that the government can constitute the new pay commission by the last date of July. This can lead to a huge increase in the salaries of the employees. A record-breaking increase in the minimum salary is being claimed. However, nothing has been said officially yet. Such a claim is being made in media reports.
How much will the salary increase?
The central government may soon constitute the 8th Pay Commission, after which it will be implemented. This is likely to lead to a bumper increase in the salaries of central employees. The minimum salary of Level 1 employees is Rs 18,000. It is expected that the fitment factor can also be kept at 1.92.
If the fitment factor is kept at 1.92, then the salary will increase to Rs 34,560. This will see an increase of Rs 16560 in the salary of central employees. The minimum salary of level 2 employees is Rs 19,900, which can increase to Rs 38,208. This amount will prove to be like a booster dose for central employees.
When will the new pay commission be implemented?
When will the central government implement the 8th Pay Commission? This remains a big question. The new pay commission has not even been formed yet. After this, about 16 to 18 months are spent in review. According to this, the 8th Pay Commission can be implemented on January 1, 2027.
The 7th Pay Commission is completing ten years on 31 December 2025. A new pay commission has been implemented in India every ten years. With the implementation of the new pay commission, a record-breaking increase in salaries can be seen.
