After a brief pause in its stakeholder consultations, the 8th Central Pay Commission (8th CPC) has come back announcing a fresh schedule for meetings with associations, federations and unions representing central government and Union Territory (UT) employees.
In a statement issued on Thursday, July 23, 2026, the commission said that it would hold the next round of interactions in New Delhi in August, offering another opportunity to employee bodies and other stakeholders to present their demands and recommendations.
The update about the Delhi meeting came after the commission took a pause of about two weeks after completing its Kolkata meetings on July 9 and 10. During this period, many central government employee and pensioner bodies had expressed concerns over the pace of the commission's work and the possibility of delays.

According to the notice by the 8th Pay Commission, interactions will be held with associations, federations and unions of central government and UT employees located or registered in Delhi on August 7 and 10, 2026.
