The proposed 8th Pay Commission could lead to salary increases of up to ₹19,000 per month for central government employees, benefiting approximately 5 million staff and 6.5 million pensioners. Currently, a mid-level employee earning ₹1 lakh monthly might see their salary rise to ₹1,14,600 with a ₹1.75 lakh crore allocation, ₹1,16,700 with ₹2 lakh crore, and ₹1,18,800 with ₹2.25 lakh crore. While there's no official announcement yet, experts anticipate the commission's formation in April 2025, with recommendations possibly effective by 2026 or 2027. (PC: NDTV)
