8th Pay Commission: The formation of the 8th Pay Commission was given the green signal by the Central Government on 16 January 2025 this year. However, its Terms of Reference (ToR) and the entire process of mail-meeting have not been completed yet.
According to reports, the 8th Pay Commission is expected to be implemented from January 2026. But the actual implementation may happen by FY 2027, due to which the wait for that increase is increasing among the employees.
What is the new update
According to a report by Zee Business, the panel may be formed in late October or early November. Let us tell you that after the formation of the panel, things will also become clear on the fitment factor. Apart from this, the complete calculation of DA merge, new pay matrix and pension will also move forward. However, no official information has been revealed about this yet. Recently, Shiv Gopal Mishra, Secretary (Staff Side) of the National Council Joint Consultative Machinery (NC-JCM), said that the 8th Pay Commission should be implemented from January 2026. He says that last time the 7th Pay Commission was implemented in July 2016, while its recommendations were effective from January 2016. In such a situation, the same pattern should be repeated this time also so that the employees can get relief on time.
How much can the salary increase
If the fitment factor increases to around 2.8 (which is in the forecast), employees may get a salary hike of 30%–34%, which could lead to a huge improvement in salaries and allowances. On the other hand, some analysts believe that if the fitment factor remains only 1.8, the actual salary hike may be limited to only 13%, which may be lower than previous employees’ expectations.
