8th Pay Commission: The 8th Central Pay Commission work has started to progress because there needs to be an official salary and pension announcement for 2026. The commission has started putting its internal team in place by fast-tracking the appointment of officers.
The organization needs to fill several key positions through deputation as part of its early operational development. The commission requires this step because it needs to start pay scale discussions, allowance negotiations, and pension revision talks after it becomes fully operational.
A total of six positions are to be filled in the 8th Pay Commission. Out of these, two posts may be for PSO (Principal Staff Officer).
List of posts:
PSO (Principal Staff Officer)
Sr. PPS (Senior Principal Private Secretary)

Recruitment will be done on a deputation basis.
Appointments will follow DoPT rules.
Selected officers will serve for the duration of the commission’s term.
Applications are open-ended, but must be submitted before the deadline.
These appointments are important because they prepare the system before the 8th Pay Commission begins full operations. Major decisions regarding salary, pension, and allowances will be made through this commission, and millions of employees and pensioners are closely watching the process.
The government has already allotted office space for the commission. The Chandralok Building at Janpath, New Delhi, has been assigned as the 8th Pay Commission office. Once the office becomes fully functional, work on key issues related to central government employees will begin in full swing.
