8th Pay Commission to Recommend Salary Revisions for Central Government Employees by 2027

The 8th Pay Commission, chaired by Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, is expected to submit its recommendations by late 2027, with salary and pension revisions for central government employees and pensioners to follow. The fitment factor, a multiplier applied to current basic pay, will determine the extent of salary increases across pay levels 1 to 18. Estimates suggest this factor could range from 1.70 to 2.86, potentially doubling salaries, with official announcements anticipated during the festive season of 2027.
