PM Modi Approves 8th Central Pay Commission; Salary Hikes From January 2026
Jan 16, 2025, 10:05 AM
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved the establishment of the 8th Central Pay Commission for all central government employees, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced. "The Prime Minister has approved the 8th Central Pay Commission for all employees of the Central Government," Vaishnaw said. The Union Cabinet's decision paves the way for the revision of salaries for government employees and allowances for pensioners, with hikes expected to take effect from January 1, 2026. The Commission is set to be constituted before the 7th Pay Commission's term concludes in 2026, ensuring a seamless transition. Since 1947, seven pay commissions have been constituted, with the last one implemented in 2016. Vaishnaw stated that the names of the chairman and two members will be revealed soon. The Commission is expected to submit its report by 2026. The establishment of the Commission addresses the longstanding anticipation among government staff and pensioners for salary revisions. The recommendations will impact millions of central government employees across various departments.
