The government has opened the portal for memorandum submissions related to the 8th Pay Commission. Employees and stakeholders can now submit their views and recommendations regarding pay structure, allowances, and service conditions. As per information available on the 8th Central Pay Commission website, stakeholders can submit their memorandum or representations online till April 30, 2026.
The 8th Central Pay Commission has invited representations, memorandums, and suggestions from a wide range of stakeholders, including central government employees, pensioners, service associations, and government departments. Employee unions have also begun placing their demands before the Commission.
The submission process is completely online. According to the Commission, memorandums and suggestions can be submitted through the official portals: 8cpc.gov.in and innovateindia.mygov.in.
To submit suggestions, users should log in to their MyGov account using either:
Email/mobile number and OTP, or
Email/mobile number and password.
According to the 8CPC website, the Commission is seeking views from Central government employees (industrial and non-industrial); personnel belonging to All India Services; members of the Defence Forces; employees of Union Territories; officers and staff of the Indian Audit and Accounts Department; officers and employees of the Supreme Court and certain High Courts; members of regulatory bodies set up under Acts of Parliament (excluding RBI); pensioners and their associations; and central government ministries, departments and organisations.
The portal allows submissions under four different categories:
Individual / Employee / Pensioner – for personal suggestions
Association / Union – for collective demands from employee or pensioner groups
Ministry / Department / Union Territory – to be submitted by a designated nodal officer using official government email IDs
Judicial Officers – for officers and employees of courts in Union Territories
The recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission will eventually determine the salary structure, allowances, and pension benefits for around 4.8 million central government employees and nearly 6.7 million pensioners across the country. This consultation stage is considered the first major step before the Commission begins preparing its detailed report. The All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) has submitted 12 major demands, including a 3.0 fitment factor to increase salaries of central government employees.
The Commission has clarified that paper submissions, emails, or PDF attachments sent outside the portal will not be considered.
