The 8th Pay Commission is currently conducting meetings and consultation processes regarding salary and pension updates for central government employees and pensioners in India.

A significant meeting is scheduled to take place in Mumbai on October 22 and 23. This follows a previous meeting held in Bengaluru on October 7 and 8.
