Pankaj Chaudhary has clarified that the formation of the Eighth Central Pay Commission of the Central Government employees should be ensured. A proposal has been made for this so that it can be implemented on 1 January 2026.



Important update has come out for the 7th pay commission employees of the central government and lakhs of pensioners. Actually, now the government has opened the cards on the new pay commission including pay revision- DA hike. In fact, after the government’s reply in the Rajya Sabha, now an explanation has come out from the Center. The Central Government says that for the time being the 7th Pay Commission will continue. Accordingly, DA and other allowances including salary-pension should be paid to the employees.

The government says that there is no proposal under consideration with the government on setting up the 8th Central Pay Commission. At the same time, the seventh pay can be expected to remain in force till 2026 once again. In fact, after every 10 years, a new pay commission is formed to change the pay structure of government employees. Seven Pay Commissions have been constituted since 1947. The Seventh Pay Commission was constituted in 2014. It is believed that in 2026 a new pay commission can be formed. However, the government has put a complete stop to this for now.

In the matter, Union Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary told in Parliament that the government has no plan to set up the 8th Pay Commission for Central Government employees. For the Central Government employees, the seventh pay scale will be applicable for the time being. However, Union Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Choudhary has clarified that the formation of the Eighth Central Pay Commission should be ensured for the central government employees. A proposal has been made for this so that it can be implemented on 1 January 2026.

The central government said that DA is paid to the employees due to the fall in the actual value along with the salary due to rising inflation. At the same time, the DA is amended from time to time at an interval of 6 months. The inflation rate is determined on the basis of the All India Consumer Price Index by the Labor Bureau of the Ministry of Labor and Employment. On the basis of which the DA is determined.

On the other hand, Union Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Choudhary said that there is no need for another new pay commission to review the salary pension of employees’ pensioners. Revision of payment made to Central Government employees pensioners can be done at any time and for this there will be no need for constitution of 8th Pay Commission.

The same pensioners and employees are currently being paid salary and pension as per the 7th Pay Commission matrix while the revision of DA rates is awaited by the employees. It is believed that according to the data of AICPI-IW, an increase of 4 percent can be seen in the DA of the employees by the last week of August. After which their DA4 is likely to increase from 34% to 38%.

Explain that the calculation of DA is fixed on the basis of retail inflation. It’s been over 7% for some time now. At the same time, DA was increased by 3% in January 2022 by the central government. After which the DA of the employees was increased from 31% to 34%. It can be amended soon, which will benefit the employees of more than 50.
