Aaj Tak · india

The 8th Pay Commission has completed one year since its formation, but central government employees and pensioners are still awaiting crucial decisions. Key issues like the new basic salary, pension increases, and arrears remain unresolved. The Fitment Factor, which determines salary hikes, has not been finalized, nor has the effective date for implementation been announced. The commission has sought suggestions and begun consultations, with its report expected around May 2027, following the 18-month deadline for submission.
