The 8th Pay Commission is expected to submit its recommendations to the central government around May-June 2027, based on its current 18-month timeline. The panel, constituted on November 3, 2025, has been tasked with examining revisions to salaries, allowances and pensions for central government employees and pensioners. However, even after the commission submits its report, employees may have to wait another four to six months before the government completes its review and implements the recommendations.
