Government Addresses Pension Revision Amid 8th Pay Commission Discussions and AITUC Demands

As discussions on the 8th Pay Commission progress, central government employees and pensioners anticipate salary and pension revisions, with the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) urging implementation from January 1, 2026, to avoid loss of arrears. Meanwhile, the government clarified in Parliament that pension revisions have been approved for some financial institutions like RBI and NABARD retirees, but no decision has been announced for public sector bank retirees. The issue of pension revision for PSB retirees remains under consideration amid growing expectations.
