8th Pay Commission Holds Delhi Consultations

The 8th Central Pay Commission has announced two more rounds of stakeholder consultations in New Delhi next month.

The Commission will interact with associations, federations, and unions of Central Government and Union Territory employees on August 7 and 10.

Eligible associations and unions can apply for an appointment with the Commission until July 31. The Commission said only those organisations that have already submitted their memorandum and have not yet interacted with the Commission in New Delhi or any State and UT are eligible to request a meeting.

The consultations will cover issues related to salary revision, pensions, allowances, fitment factor, promotions, career progression, and service conditions.

The Commission has also extended the deadline for ministries, departments, and Union Territories to upload employee data through its online portal until July 31.

The 8th Pay Commission recently held consultations with various stakeholders in Kolkata on July 9 and 10. The Commission is set to continue its nationwide consultations after the Delhi meetings, with the next round scheduled in Chennai on September 7 and 8 and Puducherry on September 9.

The Commission said that stakeholders, including Central Government organisations, institutions, associations, and unions wishing to interact with the Commission at these locations, can apply for an appointment by August 18, using the online application form and their unique Memo ID generated after submitting the memorandum.

The venue details and meeting schedule for both locations will be communicated separately.

The 8th Pay Commission's consultations are part of an ongoing process to discuss pay revision and other service-related benefits for Central Government employees.

The Commission's recommendations will have a significant impact on the salaries and benefits of millions of Central Government employees across the country.

The consultations are an opportunity for employee organisations to raise their concerns and suggestions on various issues related to pay revision, pensions, and allowances.
