Subject: Urgent Request for Expediting Terms of Reference and Appointment of Chairman and Members of the 8th Central Pay Commission

Respected Madam,

We, on behalf of the Bharat Pensioners Samaj (BPS), one of the oldest and largest federations representing pensioners and senior citizens across the country, wish to express our gratitude for the Government’s decision in January 2025 to accept the long-standing demand for the constitution of the 8th Central Pay Commission.

However, the lack of further progress — notably the non-finalization of the Terms of Reference and the absence of announcements regarding the Chairman and Members of the Commission has led to growing unease.

The prolonged delay is fueling rumors, speculations, and misunderstandings, causing anxiety and uncertainty among government pensioners. Unverified information circulating on various media and social platforms is creating confusion and adversely affecting morale.

Given the criticality of the situation, we humbly request your good offices to kindly expedite the necessary steps for:

• Early finalization of the Terms of Reference (ToR),
• Prompt appointment of the Chairman and Members of the 8th CPC, and
• Ensuring representation of pensioners in the Commission.

Clear and timely communication will not only dispel rumors and reassure stakeholders but will also facilitate the smooth and effective functioning of the Commission to deliver its recommendations on schedule.

We trust our earnest appeal will receive your kind consideration and prompt action.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

S.C. Maheshwari
Secretary General
Bharat Pensioners Samaj (BPS)
