The 8th Pay Commission is expected to submit its recommendations by mid-2027, but employees may receive revised pay with arrears from January 1, 2026, if that effective date is approved. The Commission will affect nearly 50 lakh serving employees and 69 lakh pensioners. Arrears calculation will depend on how the Commission treats dearness allowance and other allowances.
