News for over 10 million central employees and pensioners
The 8th Pay Commission is considered extremely important for over 10 million central employees and pensioners, as its recommendations will directly impact their salaries, allowances, pensions, and overall purchasing power.

The government launched the official website of the 8th Pay Commission (8cpc.gov.in) in February 2026, which has now become the primary platform for all information related to the Commission. Notifications, questionnaires, recruitment circulars, and other official updates are regularly released here. The Commission’s objective is to review salaries, allowances, and other benefits and rationalize them according to current needs and the work requirements of different departments.
