8th Pay Commission Sets Basic Pay for Govt Employees at ₹72,000

The 8th Pay Commission has finalized a revised pay matrix for central government employees. Under the new structure, the basic pay will be set at ₹72,000 per month, a significant increase from the current level. The commission’s recommendation aims to address inflationary pressures and bring government salaries in line with the private sector. The revised pay scale will be implemented across all central ministries and departments once approved by the government.
