If you work for the central government or a union territory in Rajasthan, you have until 18 August to ask for a seat. The 8th Central Pay Commission will be in Jaipur on 31 August and 1 September to hear from employee groups.
A notice posted on the commission’s website on 3 August sets the terms. The sessions are only for associations, federations and unions of central government and union territory employees that are based or registered in Rajasthan. Groups from other states were told not to apply.
There is a second condition. An organisation must already have sent in its memorandum to the commission, and must not yet have met it. Requests have to carry the unique Memo ID issued when that memorandum was filed. Those picked will hear about the venue and timing by email.
The aim, per the commission, is to let eligible organisations put their views and grievances in front of the panel directly.
A busy meeting calendar
Jaipur is one stop among several. Meetings are also planned in Delhi, Chennai, Puducherry and Chandigarh over the coming weeks and months, and the Delhi round starts on 7 August. Over the past few months the commission has been meeting stakeholder groups on pay structure, allowances, service conditions and related matters for central government staff.
The panel is headed by Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai and was constituted on 3 November 2025. More than half of its allotted time is behind it. Mint reports that the final report, covering fitment factor, salaries and pension reform for employees and pensioners, is tentatively due around May or June 2027, and that the recommendations are likely to apply from 1 January, retrospectively.
