employees of Central Public Sector Undertakings and private sector.

Background:

structure, retirement benefits and other service conditions of Central Government employees and
to make recommendations on the changes required thereon. Usually, the recommendations of the
pay commissions are implemented after a gap of every ten years. Going by this trend, the effect of
the 8th Central Pay Commission recommendations would normally be expected from 01.01.2026.

The Government had announced formation of the 8th Central Pay Commission in January, 2025 to
