8th Payment Commission: Good news for government employees! Now your salary can rise so much
The biggest good news for government employees comes, which they have been waiting for a long time. The central government approved the establishment of the 8th Payment Commission. Now everyone’s eyes are fixed when it will apply and how much the employees will get out of it. This commission is expected to be in effect from 1 April 2026. It will not only increase the salary, but also increase pension and beloved allowance (DA). When will the 8th Payment Commission apply? Although the government has cleared the establishment of the 8th Payment Commission, no official date for its implementation has been decided. Experts, however, believe that this commission can be implemented immediately after the end of the tenure of the 7th Payment Commission from 1 April 2026. The previous Payment Commission (7th) came into effect from January 2016 and its term ended in December 2025. As the new payment commission is usually implemented every ten years, this estimate is completely logical. Who will get the benefit? About 50 lakh employees of the central government and 68 lakh pensioners will benefit from the 8th Payment Commission. This commission will not only review the existing salary of employees, but also change the retirement pension. Adaptation factor: The recommendations of the 8th Payment Commission will be based on the Pass Factor. This factor decides how much the existing basic salary will increase. The pace factor in the 7th Payment Commission was 2.57. According to media reports, this time the government can decide between 1.92 and 3.0 on one adjustment factor. If the government chooses a factor of 2.86 or 3.0, it will be like a salary increase for employees. How much will salary and pension increase? If the 8th Payment Commission is implemented and the government approves the 3.0 adjustment factor, the minimum salary of the employees can reach £ 51,480. Each month, the salary can rise by £ 19,000. Pensions are now expected to receive monthly pension of up to £ 25,740. The implementation of the 8th Payment Commission will be a step to increase economic strength and morale for government employees. It will not only increase salary and pension, but also improve the standard of living. Now everyone looks at what decision the government makes the pace factor and when it is implemented.
