8th Pay Commission Delay: Employees’ Federation plans nationwide agitation in new year – Details inside

8th Pay Commission: With the Centre ruling out any proposal to set up the 8th Central Pay Commission anytime soon, over 1 crore central government employees and pensioners have expressed their displeasure over the delay in announcing the next pay commission, which, according to them, should start its term from January 1, 2026.

Amid this, the All India State Government Employees Federation has urged the Narendra Modi government to set up the 8th Pay Commission at the earliest. The Federation has also demanded the restoration of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) and the regularisation of contractual employees.

Expressing strong displeasure over the central government’s clear refusal to constitute the 8th Pay Commission and restore the OPS, the Federation has reportedly decided to hold a fresh nationwide agitation in the new year.
