The 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC) has started its work and may take 12-18 months to submit recommendations. Central government employees and pensioners are demanding a quick rollout.

8th Pay Commission Update: The 8th CPC has started its work and may take 12-18 months to submit recommendations. Employees and pensioners want a fast rollout, but it's uncertain.

The 7th Pay Commission was formed in 2014, with recommendations effective Jan 1, 2016. Its term ends in 2026. Typically, a new pay commission is formed every 10 years.

The JCM-Staff Side, representing employees, had demanded the 7th CPC's recommendations be implemented from Jan 1, 2014, and for pay revisions every five years, not ten.

The 7th CPC rejected these demands, stating its recommendations would be available for consideration on Jan 1, 2016. It's now expected the 8th CPC will follow a similar timeline.

Unions for central govt employees and pensioners demand merging Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) with basic pay, as current rates don't cover inflation's impact.
