8th Pay Commission. When?

From Friday onwards, the top to bottom of bureaucracy is abuzz with the news on the forthcoming implementation of the Eighth Pay Commission. There were reports flashed in Social Media Groups that the Justice Ranjana Desai Commission has finished the preparation of the long-overdue Pay Commission Report. Most believe that by next month or before Diwali, the Report will be submitted to the Government. The question is when the Government will approve it, resulting in salary hikes. Many veteran officers say the implementation announcement will take more than a year. Some say the Government prefers to announce in mid 2028, a few months away from the Lok Sabha election, to keep Bureaucracy and retired persons in the vote bank.
