The government of india has officially launched the 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC) official website at 8cpc.gov.in — a key milestone in the process that will eventually update salaries, pensions, allowances and more for central government employees and pensioners.
Here’s everything you can find and do on the site 👇
1️⃣ 📋 Official Launch & Quick Overview
The website acts as the central hub for all official information about the 8th Pay Commission — similar to past pay‑commission portals. It includes notifications, press releases, dates, and resources related to the Commission’s work.
You’ll immediately see key sections like:
Terms of Reference (ToR) of the commission
Questionnaire links for feedback
Announcements & notifications
Calendar of meetings and events
Commission composition details (members & chairperson)
2️⃣ 📝 Submit Your Feedback Online
One of the main features of the newly launched portal is a structured feedback process:
The Commission has released an online questionnaire with 18 key questions.
This form is hosted via the MyGov portal and accessible from the official site.
It asks for views on salaries, allowances, pensions, pay structure, service conditions, and other policy issues.
✔️ Responses are confidential, analysed in aggregated form, and help shape the Commission’s recommendations.
3️⃣ 🗓️ Important Dates & Deadlines
The portal clearly lists deadlines and timelines for participation:
The last date to submit responses to the online questionnaire is March 16, 2026.
Other meeting schedules or stakeholder consultation events may also be published as dates are confirmed.
It’s the official source for all deadlines related to submissions and consultations.
4️⃣ 🧑💼 Who Can Participate & How
The site explains who should provide feedback and how:
Central government employees
Pensioners
Employees of Union Territories
Judicial officers and court staff
Employee unions/associations
Researchers and academicians
Other stakeholders who have a stake in compensation policies
The online MyGov questionnaire is available in English and Hindi, ensuring wide accessibility.
📌 Important: Feedback must be submitted only online via the MyGov links linked on the site — emails, PDFs or physical letters are not accepted.
5️⃣ 📢 Official Documents & Announcements
Beyond feedback forms, the website also hosts or links to:
ToR document that sets out the scope and mandate of the 8th CPC.
Press releases about the Commission’s launch and progress.
Vacancy circulars and other Commission‑related job posts.
These are important for stakeholders who want the latest authoritative updates straight from the Commission.
6️⃣ 📍 What’s Not on the Site (Yet)
While very useful, the website does NOT yet contain:
Final salary matrices or fitment factors for different pay levels (these will come later once the Commission’s recommendations are drafted).
Arrears calculation tools or official salary calculators (again pending far‑later stages).
Individual pay‑scale charts with revised figures.
Those elements will arrive after the consultation and recommendation process finishes — likely closer to when the Commission submits its report.
✅ Final Takeaway
The 8th Pay Commission website is now the official portal for updates, feedback, and participation in one of the most important government processes affecting millions of employees and pensioners. Using it, you can:
✔️ read official announcements
✔️ Submit your views via questionnaire
✔️ Know deadlines and participation details
✔️ Access press releases and reference documents
If you’re a central government employee or pensioner, this site is key for staying informed and involved in how your future pay and benefits are shaped.
