8th CPC Chairperson & Members: Announcement Coming Soon
Central Government has confirmed the formation of the 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC), a significant development for Central Government employees and pensioners. This information came to light in a Rajya Sabha unstarred question (No. 237) answered on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance, Shri Pankaj Chaudhary.
The question, posed by Shri Javed Ali Khan and Shri Ramji Lal Suman, sought details regarding the 8th CPC’s constitution, including whether the Union Cabinet had granted its approval in January 2025. The Minister confirmed the government’s approval of the commission’s formation.

However, key details regarding the 8th CPC’s leadership and timeline remain undisclosed. When asked about the appointment of the Chairperson and Members, and the issuance of the official notification, the Minister stated that these matters “will be decided in due course.” Similarly, the timeline for the 8th CPC to submit its report to the government is yet to be determined.
This announcement marks the beginning of the process for revising the pay and benefits of millions of Central Government employees and pensioners. While the confirmation of the 8th CPC is a welcome development, the lack of specific details regarding its composition and timeline leaves some questions unanswered. Employees and pensioners will be closely following further announcements from the government regarding these crucial aspects. It is expected that further information will be released in the coming months as the government progresses with the formation and operationalization of the 8th Central Pay Commission.
