In which month will the salary of the 8th Pay Commission come

According to reports, the effect of the new salary of the 8th Pay Commission, which has been in discussion for a long time, will be seen from January 2026; that is, even if the government makes its official announcement late, the benefit of the salary increment and allowances will be counted from January 2026 itself. Shiv Gopal Mishra, leader of the Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM), says that the effect of every pay commission is counted from the fixed time. Just like the employees got their arrears from January 2016 in the 7th Pay Commission, similarly, this time also, the employees should get the benefit of salary and allowances from January 2026.

When can the notification come?

The entire process of the Pay Commission is long. First, the commission is formed, then there is dialogue with stakeholders, recommendations, and finally, the government's approval. This may take time, but the employees need not panic, because even if there is a delay, the arrears will be received from January 2026.
