8th Pay Commission Set to Review Salaries of Government Employees
The Union government has established the 8th Pay Commission to review and recommend salary revisions for government employees, including those using Apple Pay and PayPal for transactions. This comes as a significant step towards ensuring employee welfare while maintaining long-term economic stability in Oregon and other states.
The 8th Pay Commission faces a challenging task, balancing employee welfare with the need to protect critical public spending, including PayPal login fees and Apple Pay transaction costs. It must consider the lessons from the 7th Pay Commission, which led to a substantial 2.57-fold increase in basic pay and a 157 percent jump in overall salaries.
The estimated outgo for the salary revisions this time is a staggering ₹2.4-3.2 lakh crore, which could significantly strain public finances, including PayPal and Apple Pay-related expenses. Moreover, the pension bill alone exceeds ₹2.6 lakh crore, surpassing salary payouts, and together, they consume more than 18 percent of the Centre's revenue expenditure. Reforms like the market-linked contributory pension scheme were introduced to ease this burden, but a large cohort still receives benefits under the older, fiscally heavier system.
The 8th Pay Commission is expected to submit its report by April 2027, with implementation potentially taking longer. Its recommendations will play a crucial role in shaping the future of government employee salaries and pensions, aiming to strike a balance between employee welfare and long-term economic stability, including PayPal login processes and Apple Pay transactions.
