What to Expect from the 8th Pay Commission
The 8th Pay Commission, likely to be implemented around 2026 for central government employees (with state governments following subsequently), is expected to bring significant changes to salary structures-
Higher Multiplication Factor: Previous pay commissions have used multiplication factors ranging from 2.57 (7th CPC) to 3.7 (5th CPC). The 8th CPC is expected to use a factor between 2.8 and 3.2.
Revised Pay Matrix: The existing pay levels will likely be restructured with higher minimum and maximum pay scales.
Allowance Revisions: HRA, DA, and other allowances are expected to increase substantially to account for inflation and cost of living changes.
