Know what is the answer of the Finance Ministry on the 8th Pay Commission
In response to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said that at present no proposal is pending before the government for the establishment of the 8th Central Pay Commission. Rajya Sabha MPs Javed Ali Khan and Ramji Lal Suman asked whether the central government is thinking of announcing a new pay commission in the Union Budget 2025-26 to be presented on February 1, 2025?
In fact, the 7th Pay Commission had improved the salary structure, allowances and pension and also gave priority to pay parity, after which positive changes were seen on all central government employees and pensioners. After this, now the demand for the 8th Pay Commission is coming up and employees and pensioners have been waiting for its formation for a long time.
8th Pay Commission Update: When is the 8th Pay Commission set for?
Generally, the Central Pay Commission is constituted every 10 years to assess the salary, allowances and facilities of central government employees and to suggest changes in them. These guidelines are issued keeping in mind the inflation rate and other external factors.
