8th Pay Commission Reviews Pay, Allowances, and Pension Schemes for Central Employees
The 8th Pay Commission, chaired by Ranjana Prakash Desai, is reviewing pay structures, allowances, and pension benefits for about 1 crore central government employees and pensioners. While the commission's mandate focuses on assessing the National Pension System (NPS) and Unified Pension Scheme (UPS), employee unions continue to demand restoration of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS). The commission is conducting consultations across states and aims to submit recommendations by November 2025, balancing various stakeholder demands.
