When can the 8th Pay Commission be implemented?
If everything goes on schedule, the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission are likely to be implemented by the end of 2026 or early 2027. According to reports, the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission could lead to an increase of approximately 30 to 34 percent in government salaries and pensions, benefiting approximately 1.2 million employees and pensioners.
Experts say that the 8th Pay Commission (UP news) is likely to be implemented by the fourth quarter of 2026 or the first quarter of 2027.
How will employees not suffer if they are late?
