8th Pay Commission It may take up to 3 years for the 8th Pay Commission to be implemented. The formation of the commission has been announced but till now neither the chairman nor its members have been appointed nor the TOR (Terms of Reference) notification has been issued.
8th Pay Commission: Lakhs of central employees and pensioners are waiting for the 8th Pay Commission. The government has made the announcement but its board members have not been formed yet. In such a situation, the question arises that what are the reasons due to which the 8th Pay Commission is getting delayed. Let us know the reasons due to which there is disappointment on the faces of the employees.
Major reasons for the delay in the 8th Pay Commission
- Appointment of members and chairman pending
- Terms of reference not prepared yet
- No budget provision for the 8th Pay Commission
These are the major reasons due to which the members of the 8th Pay Commission have not been constituted yet. The government had announced its formation in January 2025 itself. But it has not been decided yet which members will be kept in this commission. Neither has its chairman been appointed. We can also consider this as a major reason for the delay in the 8th Pay Commission.
Forming a pay commission is a very complicated and lengthy process. First its members are appointed. Till now even the Term of Reference (ToR) of the 8th Pay Commission has not been prepared. This means the scope of work, what things need to be done. We can consider this as one of the reasons for the delay in the 8th Pay Commission .
There has been no budgetary provision for the 8th Pay Commission till now. The Pay Commission puts a heavy burden on the government. Even after the formation of the 7th Pay Commission, an additional burden of thousands of crores of rupees had increased on the government treasury. In such a situation, keeping the economy in mind, budgetary provision has to be made for this as well. We can also consider this as a reason for the delay in the 8th Pay Commission.
When can the 8th Pay Commission be implemented?
It may take about 3 years for the 8th Pay Commission to be implemented. That is, it may be implemented by 2028. Because after the announcement of the 7th Pay Commission, it took almost the same time for it to be implemented. That is, now central employees may have to wait for a long 3 years.
