NewDelhi: The 8th Pay Commission memorandum submission deadline has been extended by 1 more month. The last date to post submissions was 30 April 2026. After the extension, now stakeholders can submit the memorandum by May 30. The decision follows after persuasions by National Council – Joint Consultative Machinery (NC-JCM) (staff side) over the extension of dates.
The government had invited representations from all stakeholders to post their suggestions related to 8th Pay Commission on official 8th CPC website.
The Commission has provided an online structured format for inviting memorandum/representations from associations and unions of serving employees/pensioners, organizations/institutions as well as from employees, pensioners and interested individuals on its website.

The commission has been given 18 months from that date to submit its report. The tenure of the 7th Pay Commission ended on December 31 and the 8th Pay Commission takes effect on January 1, 2026.
The Commission is still working and a decision on implementation is pending. Revised pay will start only after the Union Cabinet approves the recommendations. In the case of the 7th Pay Commission, the revised salaries and pensions were rolled out from July 2016 but employees were paid six-month arrears for the period starting from January 2016.
The precedent set by the previous pay panel indicates that the 8th Pay Commission’s recommendations are likely to come into effect retrospectively from January 2026. If the 8th Pay Panel submits its recommendations by the end of 2027 and implementation stretches to 2028, the employees are expected to get arrears as per the new pay effective from January 1, 2026.
