The Eighth Central Pay Commission has officially issued Notice No. 25/2/2026-App/8CPC dated 24th April, 2026, addressing the overwhelming number of requests from various staff groups for official interactions. The Commission is preparing for its initial phase of formal meetings scheduled to take place in Delhi from 28th to 30th April, 2026.
- Issuing Authority: Eighth Central Pay Commission
- Delhi Meeting Dates: 28th to 30th April, 2026
- Status of Appointments: Compressed schedule; not all requests accepted
- Future Action: State/UT visits planned for coming months
April 2026 Delhi Meetings: Compressed Schedule
The Commission confirmed it is actively scheduling meetings with the maximum possible number of Unions and Associations during the 28th-30th April window. However, due to the severely compressed timeframe, the secretariat cannot accommodate every interaction request received for these specific dates.
Why Interaction Requests Are Being Restricted
The formation of a new Pay Commission triggers immediate representations from hundreds of recognized federations, departmental councils, and pensioner associations. The Eighth Central Pay Commission has acknowledged receiving a significantly large volume of these requests specifically targeting the first Delhi sessions.
In practice, most recognized staff associations must submit a formal written memorandum outlining specific cadre anomalies and fitment factor demands to the Commission’s secretariat before a face-to-face interaction is prioritized. Because the 28th-30th April window offers limited working hours, prioritizing national-level federations over regional bodies is standard departmental procedure during initial hearings.
| Event Timeline | Date / Period | Official Status |
|---|---|---|
| Notice Issued By Deputy Secretary | 24th April 2026 | Published |
| First Phase Delhi Interactions | 28th to 30th April 2026 | Scheduled (Limited Capacity) |
| State/UT Regional Meetings | Coming Months | Pending Website Update |
Action Plan for Regional Unions and Stakeholders
The Commission has provided clear directives for employee groups stationed outside the capital. There is no requirement for regional bodies to travel to Delhi during this compressed initial phase.
Who Should Attend Delhi Meetings
Associations that have received formal confirmation from the Commission for the 28th-30th April window
National federations explicitly scheduled by the secretariat
Who Should Wait for Future Dates
Interested stakeholders located entirely outside the Delhi NCR region
Unions whose interaction requests for April 28-30 were not accepted due to the compressed schedule
The official notice explicitly guarantees that the Commission shall be holding more meetings at Delhi and across various other States/UTs in due course over the coming months.
How to Secure an Appointment in Upcoming Months
Stakeholders outside Delhi NCR are instructed to seek their appointments for interaction when the Commission physically visits their specific State/UT or a nearby State/UT at a later stage.
- Monitor Updates: Track the official website of the Eighth Central Pay Commission, where upcoming State/UT schedules will be strictly updated.
- Prepare Memorandum: Draft the cadre-specific anomalies and financial demands comprehensively before the state tour is announced.
- Submit Request: File the interaction request specifically for the regional State/UT meeting slot rather than crowding the Delhi headquarters.
- Await Confirmation: The Deputy Secretary’s office will issue formal invites based on the approved regional itinerary.
