Breaking News (Feb 7, 2026): The 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC) has officially initiated its consultation process by releasing a detailed Questionnaire on the MyGov platform. This specific questionnaire is primarily targeted at Ministries, Departments, and Union Territories (UTs) to gather their official demands regarding salary revision, cadre restructuring, and allowance anomalies.
However, the release of these questions gives every central government employee a clear “preview” of what the Commission is focusing on. The questionnaire covers critical topics like the Fitment Factor, National Pension System (NPS), and the validity of the 10-year Pay Commission cycle.
• Topic: 8th CPC Questionnaire for Ministries/Depts.
• Platform: MyGov.in Official Link
• Key Questions: Fitment Factor, NPS vs OPS, Allowances.
• Status: Live Now.
What is in the Questionnaire? (Key Topics)
The 8th CPC has asked Ministries to provide data and views on the following major areas. This indicates the Commission’s roadmap:
| Topic | What Commission is Asking? |
|---|---|
| Salary Hike | What should be the basis for pay revision? (Aykroyd Formula vs Inflation). |
| Fitment Factor | Is a uniform Fitment Factor (like 2.57 in 7th CPC) sufficient, or should it vary by Level? |
| NPS Review | Does the National Pension System (NPS) need structural changes to ensure social security? |
| Allowances | Are existing allowances (HRA, CEA, TPTA) adequate? Should some be merged or abolished? |
Can Individual Employees Participate?
Currently, this specific link is for “Ministries, Departments & UTs”. However, historically, the Pay Commission releases a separate (or similar) questionnaire for Unions, Associations, and Individual Employees shortly after.
Action for Employees: You should download this questionnaire to understand the questions. Prepare your answers/data so that when the “Individual/Union” link activates, or when your Union seeks feedback, you are ready with facts.

Is this survey for individual employees?
Technically, the title says “Ministries/Departments”. However, Unions and Associations often use the same framework to submit their memorandums. Individual feedback links usually follow soon.
What is the main question on Fitment Factor?
The Commission has asked whether the minimum wage should be calculated based on the Dr. Aykroyd formula (nutrition/clothing/housing needs) or indexed strictly to inflation.
