Central govt employees to get salary hikes of 25-30% under '8th Pay Commission'

The 8th Pay Commission, when implemented, will potentially increase salaries of Central government employees by 25-30 per cent and pensions proportionately, industry experts said on Friday.

Since the last pay hike came into effect from January 1, 2016, the next



salary should be revised from January 1, 2026 as the hike in salary of Central government staff takes place after 10 years.

The 8th Pay Commission is pivotal in addressing evolving economic realities and ensuring government salaries and pensions remain competitive.
