🎉 BREAKING NEWS (Feb 2026): 8th Pay Commission Official Website Launched.
URL: www.8cpc.gov.in
Action Required: Submit Feedback Questionnaire.
Deadline: March 16, 2026.
It is Official. The Government of India has operationalized the 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC). The official portal 8cpc.gov.in is now live, and the Commission has formally invited suggestions from all Central Government Employees, Pensioners, and Unions. This marks the beginning of the salary revision process for 2026.
Critical Rule: The Commission has explicitly stated that NO physical memorandums or emails will be accepted. All submissions must be made digitally through the MyGov Portal linked on the website.
1. How to Submit Your Feedback? (Step-by-Step)
The Commission has released a structured 18-Question Survey regarding salary structure, allowances, and pension. Here is how you can participate:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Visit Portal | Go to 8cpc.gov.in or the MyGov link. |
| 2. Login | Use your Mobile Number/OTP to log in to MyGov. |
| 3. Questionnaire | Fill out the 18 questions on Pay Matrix, Fitment Factor, and Pension. |
| 4. Deadline | Submit before March 16, 2026. |
2. What is the Commission Asking? (The 18 Questions)
The questionnaire is designed to gauge the “Consumption Pattern” and “Economic Needs” of employees. Key topics include:
- Fitment Factor: What should be the minimum pay calculation formula?
- Increment: Should the annual increment (3%) be increased?
- Pension: Views on the transition from NPS to UPS/OPS.
- Allowances: Suggestions on merging or increasing HRA/CEA/LTC.
Why this matters: This is your ONLY chance to officially demand a 3.68 Fitment Factor. If unions and employees do not respond with data, the Commission may settle for the government’s projected 1.96 factor.

The consultation is open to a wide range of stakeholders. You do not need to be a Union Leader to submit views.
