  • The Union Government has approved the implementation of 8th Pay Commission for central government employees and pensioners just before the Union Budget 2025 announcements. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has confirmed on January 16 that the 8th Pay Commission gets the approval of the cabinet for 1 crore central government employees and the exact date of implementation is yet to be announced.

The article from MSN discusses the potential implementation of the 8th Pay Commission for central government employees in India, expected to be effective from January 1, 2026. It highlights that the current 7th Pay Commission's recommendations are set to expire in 2025, paving the way for the new commission. The 8th Pay Commission is anticipated to revise the salary structure, allowances, and other benefits for government employees. Although specific details on the expected salary hike and the new pay matrix are not provided, the article mentions that there could be a significant increase in the basic pay, potentially ranging from 44% to 50%. This adjustment aims to address inflation and the rising cost of living. The article also notes that the government has not yet made any official announcements regarding the formation or the specifics of the 8th Pay Commission.
