Now a big update has come regarding its TOR.

What is the update regarding TOR?

Shiv Gopal Mishra, Secretary, National Council-Joint Consultative Machinery (NC-JCM), an organization that communicates between the central government and the employees, has said that the TOR can be presented by the department soon.

Earlier it was told through a circular that appointment was made for 35 posts for the 8th Pay Commission. This shows that the process has been started by the government.

What is the objective?

It is being speculated in the media report that the basic salary may increase under the 8th Pay Commission. It is being said that the salary of government employees can be increased from Rs 18 thousand to Rs 26 thousand. However, no confirmation has been made about this yet.

Let us tell you that the Pay Commission is constituted every 10 years in the country. Its objective is to review the salary, allowances and pension benefits received by all government employees and pensioners. About 50 lakh government employees and 65 lakh pensioners are going to benefit from the 8th Pay Commission.

Good news will come regarding dearness allowance

Along with the 8th Pay Commission, all government employees may also get good news regarding dearness allowance. If media reports are to be believed, the dearness allowance of government employees for June to December 2025 may increase more than last time.

For January-June 2025, there was an increase of only two percent in dearness allowance. However, looking at the inflation figures, experts believe that this time an increase of three percent has been estimated. Currently, the DA of central government employees and pensioners is 55 percent. The next amendment may be announced in October or November.
