According to the representative, the commission may come into effect from January 1, 2026, bringing revised salary structures and allowances for Central government employees and pensioners.
The government has yet to name a Chairman or finalise the Terms of Reference (ToR) -- two crucial steps required to operationalise the commission. This delay has put the January 2026 rollout deadline at risk.
The global financial services firm stated that around 50 lakh Central government employees and 65 lakh pensioners are expected to benefit from the pay revision.
The Union Cabinet has decided to set up the 8th Pay Commission to revise salaries of central government employees and allowances of pensioners.
