8th Pay Commission Nears Report Submission with Salary Revision Proposals
The 8th Pay Commission, a temporary three-member panel led by Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, was constituted on November 3, 2025, to review and recommend changes to central government employees' salaries, pensions, and allowances. It has held meetings across various states and is expected to submit its report by May-June 2027. Key discussions focus on the fitment factor multiplier, which affects salary revisions, with proposals including a minimum basic pay of ₹69,000 and fitment factors ranging from 3.833 to 4, though final government approval and implementation decisions remain pending.
