8th Central Pay Commission Begins Consultations with Unions from April 28 in Delhi

The 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC) has scheduled meetings with employee unions and associations in Delhi from April 28 to 30, 2026, to gather inputs on salary revisions and pension structures. Due to numerous requests, not all stakeholders will be accommodated in this initial phase. The Commission plans further consultations across states and Union Territories. Discussions include proposals like a Rs 69,000 minimum basic pay and a fitment factor of 3.83, though some figures circulating are unofficial estimates.
