Why did the salary not increase from January 1, 2026?
This is the biggest confusion. In fact, the rule of the Pay Commission is clear that until the Commission submits its report to the government and the government approves it, the new salary cannot be implemented. A pay commission comes every 10 years. Due to this pattern, it was earlier believed that the new salary would be implemented from January 1, 2026, but this was only a possible date, not the final one. There is no report yet, hence there is no legal basis for salary revision.
