8th Pay Commission: The long wait for countless central government employees and pensioners nationwide is about to end. The government has made a significant move towards altering and enhancing the pay structure by launching the official website of the 8th Central Pay Commission. Not only has the Commission rolled out the website, but it has also shown transparency by directly soliciting feedback from employees and stakeholders regarding the changes they wish to see in their pay structure.
Share your thoughts directly with the government
The Pay Commission has opted for a fully digital and inclusive work process. They released a statement indicating that they are welcoming ideas, opinions, and feedback from ministries, departments, employee organizations, as well as from regular employees and pensioners. To facilitate this, the Commission has teamed up with the MyGov portal. This means that even regular employees can now voice their opinions to the Commission.
The Commission is convinced that the involvement of those directly impacted by the wage-setting process is crucial. Whether you are an active employee, a retired pensioner, or a union member, you can share your thoughts through the official website (https://8cpc.gov.in/) or directly on the MyGov portal.
The future of your salary hinges on these questions
The Pay Commission has not only requested suggestions but has also crafted a detailed questionnaire. They have posed 18 essential questions, the responses to which will form the basis for future pay structures. This questionnaire is quite thorough and addresses everything from economic matters to salary frameworks. For instance, the Commission has inquired about what ‘guiding philosophy’ the Pay Commission should embrace, considering the country’s economic growth, inflation, and the financial strains on the government.
In addition, comments are being sought on what the fitment factor, a key criterion for salary increases, should reflect and what its target should be. The question also concerns whether increments should be uniform or differentiated across pay scales. Suggestions are even sought on the criteria for determining salaries for top officials at the secretary level. You have until March 16, 2026, to respond to these questions.
The Commission has clarified that it will not consider suggestions sent via physical paper, letter, or email. To keep the entire process centralized, all responses will be accepted only through the MyGov portal. However, the Commission has assured that the identities of respondents will be kept completely confidential, so that employees can express their views without fear or hesitation.
