8th pay commission
8th pay commission: The Eighth Central Pay Commission (8th CPC) has intensified its preparations to decide the salary and allowances of central government employees and pensioners. The Pay Commission team is coming to Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, next month on 22 and 23 June 2026. During this two-day visit, Commission officials will meet central government departments, institutions and employee unions and listen to their demands. If any employee organization or association wants to present its views before the Commission, then it will have to apply online by June 10, 2026. After this no one will get a chance to attend the meeting.
For meeting in Lucknow, online application will have to be done by June 10.
This is the biggest opportunity for the central government departments, organizations and employee unions working in Uttar Pradesh to put forward their demands directly before the Pay Commission. Whichever organizations want to attend this meeting, they will have to visit the official website of the Eighth Pay Commission and fill the form for online appointment.
An important rule has to be followed while applying. It is mandatory for organizations to write the ‘Unique Memo ID’ received after submitting their memorandum on the website. Without this ID the application will not be accepted. After this process, only the organizations selected will be informed about the exact place and time of the meeting.
Commission team will also visit Kashmir and Ladakh in the month of June
The Eighth Pay Commission is visiting different parts of the country in June 2026 to gather the opinions of the employees. Before coming to Lucknow, Pay Commission officials will stay in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir from June 1 to June 4, 2026. After talking to the organizations there, the Commission team will visit the Union Territory of Ladakh on June 8, 2026. The purpose of these visits is to understand the problems and expectations of the employees working in different parts of the country.
The new salary will be decided keeping these special things in mind
While preparing recommendations to increase the salary and pension of the employees, the Commission will not only look at the demands, but will also keep in mind the economic condition of the country. The Commission will have to see that increasing the salary does not have any adverse impact on the country’s development work and the budget for the welfare of the general public.
Along with this, the Commission will also calculate how much burden the Centre’s recommendations will put on the exchequer of the state governments, because most of the state governments also adopt the same pay scale for their employees. The final decision will be taken only after looking at the expenses of old unfunded pension schemes, the current salary situation of government companies (CPSUs) and private sector.
