The government has launched the official website for the 8th Pay Commission, marking the start of the consultation process as the panel begins work on revising salaries, pensions and allowances for central government employees and pensioners.
Through the dedicated website, the government is inviting feedback from ministries, departments, government employees, pensioners and other stakeholders.
The 8th Central Pay Commission is seeking structured inputs to help it make more informed policy decisions. To streamline responses, an online questionnaire featuring 18 questions has been made available through the MyGov portal. Employees are expected to submit their suggestions related to fitment factor, allowances and basic pay revision, among others.
