8th Pay Commission: The recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission are expected to come by April-May 2026. Because it may take at least 15 to 18 months for the commission to start work and prepare the report.
8th Pay Commission News: Since the announcement of the 8th Pay Commission by the Central Government, the question in the mind of every employee is when will the salary increase? The government may have announced the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission from January 1, 2026, but according to sources, employees may have to wait till the year 2027 to get the new salary. But there is a good news hidden behind this ‘delay’.
If sources are to be believed, the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission are expected to come by April-May 2026. Because it may take at least 15 to 18 months for the commission to start work and prepare the report. This means that the final recommendations can be submitted to the government only by May 2026. Then the review, approval and implementation of these recommendations is also going to take time. That is, employees will get the benefit of the new salary only from the beginning of 2027.
Will they get the arrears or not?
The biggest relief of this delay is that the arrears of salary will be paid to the employees. That is, from January 2026 to the month in which the new salary is not received, the difference of salary for all those months will be given in lump sum. And this amount can be in lakhs.
Experts say that if the commission starts work from April 2025, then it is certain to take a whole year to prepare the recommendations. After this, the government process also takes time. In such a situation, the delay in salary revision is natural. But the government should implement it from January 1, 2026 itself and give the arrears to the employees.
How much will the salary increase?
If we talk about the 7th Pay Commission, then there was an increase of only 14.27% in it, due to which many employees were disappointed. Whereas in the earlier pay commissions, an average increase of up to 27% was seen. Now it is expected from the 8th Pay Commission that this increase can be between 18% to 24%. If the government recommends up to 24%, then the fitment factor will also be high and employees will get great relief.
