Assam Becomes First State to Constitute 8th State Pay Commission:
Assam has taken a lead in government pay reforms by becoming the first state in the country to set up its 8th State Pay Commission. This proactive decision comes just before the end of the 7th Pay Commission’s term on January 1, 2026. The move has drawn attention from state employees, pensioners, and other states, as pay commissions play a crucial role in revising salaries, allowances, and pensions of government staff. Early constitution of the panel signals Assam’s intent to speed up the pay revision process.
