As you know, the Government of India periodically forms new Pay Commissions, and soon the eighth Pay Commission is expected to be established. If you want to learn more about the Eighth Pay Commission, stay connected with our article and read the information carefully.
Over one crore employees have demanded the prompt formation of the eighth Pay Commission and urged that it be established without further delay. After the implementation of the dearness allowance, the salaries of government employees are expected to increase by 25% to 35%. Therefore, forming a new Pay Commission will be beneficial for the employees.
The Government of India typically establishes a new Pay Commission every ten years. Currently, there is ongoing discussion about forming the eighth Pay Commission. However, you might have to wait a bit longer, as there is still some time before the eighth Pay Commission is officially formed. Additionally, in this article, we will inform you about the expected timeline for the establishment of the new Pay Commission.
8th Pay Commission
Secretary Shiv Gopal Verma has reiterated the demand for the formation of the eighth Pay Commission by writing a letter to the Government of India, urging its prompt establishment. When the eighth Pay Commission is formed, it is expected that the fitment factor could increase from 2.57 to 3.8, and the minimum basic salary for employees could become ₹26,000 per month.
The formation of any Pay Commission is done by the Government of India, typically every 10 years. To form a Pay Commission, a meeting is first organized where the central government’s benefits and salary structure, as well as employee allowances, are reviewed and modifications are proposed. As mentioned earlier, a new Pay Commission is formed every 10 years.
7th pay commission formation
For instance, the former Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh, established the 7th Pay Commission on February 28, 2014. However, the report for this commission was submitted on November 19, 2015, and the 7th Pay Commission was implemented in January 2016 as a result.
Formation of 8th Pay Commission
Please note that the Government of India has not yet announced an official date for the formation of the eighth Pay Commission. Therefore, it is not possible to specify a definite date at this time. However, it is generally believed that a new Pay Commission is formed approximately every 10 years, so it is estimated that it could be established in early 2026. There is considerable anticipation among government employees for the formation of the new Pay Commission.
Impact on Pay Commission
Considering the rising inflation rate in the country, Shiv Gopal Mishra decided that there should be a revision of employees’ salaries and allowances and that the Eighth Pay Commission should be formed to facilitate this revision. For your information, the eighth Pay Commission is expected to be established soon.
Over the past 10 years, the number of government employees has decreased by 1 million, increasing the workload on the remaining employees. Additionally, the letter called for a review of the salary matrix and stated that they would not wait another 10 years for this matter to be addressed.
New proposal given by employees
Shiv Gopal Mishra, Secretary of the Joint Consultative Machinery for Central Government Employees, wrote a letter to the Cabinet highlighting the current economic conditions and urging the immediate formation of a new Pay Commission.
In his letter to the Cabinet, Mr. Mishra pointed out that government revenue has doubled since the 2015 session and there has been an increase in tax collection. However, despite the rising inflation, there has not been a corresponding increase in employees’ salaries.
