8th Pay Commission update: Salary, pension issues on agenda in Delhi talks

In an official notice (No. 25/2/2026-App/8CPC), the Commission said it has received a large number of requests for interaction and will try to accommodate “maximum number of Unions/Associations during these dates.” However, it also clarified that due to a compressed schedule, “all requests for interaction during these dates may not be accepted.”

The notice further added that the consultation process will not be limited to Delhi. It stated, “The Commission shall be holding more meetings at Delhi and at various other States/UT in due course in coming months, which shall be updated on the website of the Commission.”

For stakeholders outside the Delhi-NCR region, the Commission advised patience for the next phase of consultations, noting, “Interested stakeholders outside Delhi NCR may seek appointment for interaction with the Commission in their State/UT or nearby State/UT at that stage.”

The Commission indicated that the consultation exercise will continue in a phased manner over the coming months across multiple states and Union Territories, ensuring broader participation before final recommendations are prepared.
