8th Pay Commission Update 2025: There is a lot of interesting news for central government employees or pensioners! The 8th Pay Commission will do a good job of getting salary and pension revisions to benefit millions in the country. But you may need to wait some time to see these changes in your slaughter.
When Will the Salary Implementation Be Done?
As per the sources from the government, within 15 to 18 months from the date of its constitution, the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission would most likely be final. The term of the Pay Commission is likely to have a starting date around January 2026, but the actual salary and pension revision would hardly be put into effect before early 2027.
Once any changes come into effect, they will also pay all employees and pensioners a subsidy for the last 12 months. This will ensure that these persons will get the full benefit without any loss.
Key Timeline for the 8th Pay Commission
- April 2025: Expected beginning of Commission work after Cabinet approval.
- End of 2026: Final recommendations will be submitted.
- Early 2027: New Pay Scale implementation.
