The hopes of more than one crore employees and pensioners of the central government have increased regarding the new pay commission. The 7th Pay Commission was formed 10 years ago. Employees demand that now the 8th Pay Commission should be formed. Generally, the government constitutes a pay commission every 10 years. If the 8th Pay Commission is formed, then its recommendations will be implemented from January 2026. It is said that a request has been made to the Cabinet Secretary and Finance Secretary to constitute a new pay commission.
Need for formation of 8th Pay Commission
In the recommendation of the Pay Commission, dearness allowance is usually merged into the basic pay. Dearness allowance has already become 50% of the basic pay. In such a situation, by merging it in the basic pay, all other allowances will also increase. The demand of employees to increase salary is natural. But, the question is whether it is necessary to fulfill this demand? Is there a need to revise the salary? Government employees have already been getting compensation for the increase in cost of living. Apart from this, they get annual increment. Also, promotions are also given from time to time.
Salary increased by 23% when the recommendation of the 7th Pay Commission was implemented
In the 7th Pay Commission, the salary of government employees increased by about 23%. This was more than the increase when the 6th Pay Commission was implemented. It is said that when the 8th Pay Commission is implemented, the minimum salary will be around 34,500. Currently the minimum salary is Rs 18,000. It is also expected that the formula for increase in DA will change in the 8th Pay Commission. With the formation of the Pay Commission, the process of revision of salaries of Central Government employees begins. After the formation of the Commission, its meetings begin. Then the Commission submits its report to the government after extensive discussion.
Income of one crore employees and pensioners will increase
Experts say that before implementing the recommendations of the Pay Commission, the government has to consider its financial situation extensively. The reason for this is that the revision of salary and pension of about one crore employees and pensioners puts a huge financial burden on the government. On implementing the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, the government had to bear an additional burden of more than one lakh crore rupees. It is estimated that on implementing the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission, there will be more additional burden than last time.
