Experts believe the Dearness Allowance (DA) system might see changes. If the commission is formed on time, its recommendations could be effective from January 1, 2026. The Central government is reportedly in active discussions with state governments.

Pension Increase
Last month, Government Employees National Confederation (GENC) representatives met with Union Minister Jitendra Singh, presenting demands including addressing the 8th Pay Commission delay, scrapping the New Pension Scheme (NPS), restoring the Old Pension Scheme (OPS), and clearing the 18-month DA arrears.
The Fitment Factor determines the pay hike. It was 2.57 in the 7th Pay Commission. Experts estimate it could range from 1.92 to 2.86 in the 8th, impacting basic pay, HRA, TA, NPS, and CGHS.
