Por qué importa
The 8th Pay Commission is tasked with preparing a report on pay, pensions, and working conditions for central government employees. It has been engaging with various stakeholders across different cities to gather input.
The 8th Pay Commission (8th CPC) last month extended the deadline for submitting the memorandum to June 15, 2026. In a letter dated May 29, 2026, they announced that the last date for submitting the memorandum to the 8th Central Pay Commission has been extended to June 15. This gave employees, pensioner bodies and other stakeholders extra time to share their thoughts on issues like pay, pensions, allowances and working conditions.
Has the 8th Pay Commission extended the deadline further to submit memorandum?
No, the government hasn’t extended the deadline to submit the memorandum. In its May 29 letter, the 8th Pay Commission had clarified that no further deadline extension would be given.
However, in certain circumstances, a Pay Commission can extend such deadlines as it did in May when many employee and pensioner bodies and stakeholders complained that they couldn’t submit their memorandum online because of technical and other issues. But this time, the government has decided not to extend the deadline.
The June 15 deadline also applies for stakeholders from various states who have meetings lined up with 8th Pay Commission chairperson Ranjana Prakash Desai and other members this month and in July. The first of such meetings will be held in Lucknow from June 22-23.
8th Pay Commission meeting in Lucknow
The 8th Pay Commission had announced that it would hold meetings in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, on June 22 and 23, 2026 (Monday and Tuesday).
“Interested stakeholders, including central government organisations/institutions and unions/associations desirous of interacting with the Commission at Lucknow, may kindly submit their request seeking an appointment on the weblink “https://nicforms.nic. in/enRhYmxlNjlmMmU2Y|FkYjkwNjlwMI Y wNDMwNzE= »” on or before June 10, 2026, along with a ‘unique memo Id’ generated upon submission of the memorandum on the Commission’s website (https://8cpc.gov.in). Venue details and the meeting schedule shall be intimated subsequently,” the 8th CPC had said in a message on its website.
8th Pay Commission upcoming meetings
Once its meetings in Lucknow are over, 8th Pay Commission officials will hold similar meetings in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, during July 6-7, 2026.

8th Pay Commission meetings in Srinagar and Ladakh
Early this month, the 8th Pay Commission held its meetings with stakeholders from Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Ever since Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh became union territories in 2019, their employees come under the central government and the Pay Commission interacts with employee and pensioner unions and other stakeholders for pay and pension-related issues.
8th Pay Commission report progress
The 8th Pay Commission is holding meetings with stakeholders to prepare its report. Every pay commission interacts with central government employees and pensioners across various states and union territories to understand what they hope to see from the pay commission.
These talks cover topics like pay, pensions, allowances and working conditions that affect central government employees.
