8th Pay Commission Reviews Salary, Pension Revision Proposals Including Fitment and Frequency
The 8th Pay Commission, constituted in November 2025, is reviewing proposals for central government salary and pension revisions. Employee groups seek a higher fitment factor, increased annual increments, and more frequent pay revisions every five years instead of ten to address inflation and living costs. Pensioners also request improved pensions and parity between retirees. The commission, led by Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, is expected to finalize its recommendations within 18 months, impacting salaries and pensions across various pay scales.
