8th Pay Commission website: What's inside and how employees can share views
India Today
With the launch of the 8th Pay Commission portal, central government employees can now track updates, explore past pay recommendations, and share their suggestions. Have you checked the website yet?
The Government of India has launched the official website of the 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC), marking the formal beginning of its work. The move has raised expectations among lakhs of central government employees and pensioners who are hoping for salary revisions, allowance changes and pension improvements.
The website launch signals that the consultation process has now started. The commission had already been given office space in Delhi earlier, and with the online platform now active, discussions on pay reforms have moved into the next phase.
The website provides details about the composition of the 8th Pay Commission. It is chaired by Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai. Prof. Pulak Ghosh has been appointed as a part-time member, while Pankaj Jain serves as the Member-Secretary.
The platform also outlines the commission’s Terms of Reference (ToR), which define its role and responsibilities. These terms were finalised after consultations with central ministries, state governments and staff representatives under the Joint Consultative Machinery.
This gives employees and stakeholders a clearer understanding of what areas the commission will review, including salaries, allowances, pensions and overall pay structure.
One of the key features of the website is the Pay Commission Repository, which allows users to download reports of the 6th and 7th Pay Commissions.
