Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav had said that there is enough time to implement the 8th Pay Commission as it has been announced a year ago. But it should also be noted that the government has not announced the terms of reference for the 8th Pay Commission.

8th Pay Commission: A big news is coming out for all the central employees of the country. This news is related to the date of implementation of the 8th Pay Commission. Let us tell you that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had approved the formation of the 8th Pay Commission in January last month. Under the 8th Pay Commission, the salary of central employees may increase according to the fitment factor of 2.86. Since the announcement of the formation of the 8th Pay Commission, lakhs of government employees of the country have started eagerly waiting for its implementation. Earlier there were reports that the government could implement the 8th Pay Commission from January 1, 2026. But now a big update is coming out regarding this.

8th Pay Commission to be implemented from January 1, 2025

Some experts believe that it is very difficult to implement the 8th Pay Commission from January 1, 2026. This simply means that the 8th Pay Commission will not be implemented on January 1, 2025 and there may be some delay in it. However, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav had said that there is enough time to implement the 8th Pay Commission as it has been announced a year ago. But it should also be kept in mind that the government has not announced the terms of reference for the 8th Pay Commission. In such a situation, will the 8th Pay Commission be implemented on January 1?

What will be the impact of the delay on the employees

Experts say that there was no mention of the allocation of the 8th Pay Commission in the Union Budget presented on February 1, 2025. Apart from this, the 8th Pay Commission will be implemented only after the 7th Pay Commission completes 10 years. Given all these circumstances, it seems difficult for the 8th Pay Commission to be implemented from January 1, 2026. However, experts also say that if there is a delay in the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission, it will not affect the employees. He said that in case of delay, the government will pay all the employees the arrears equal to the period of delay.
