The 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC), chaired by former Supreme Court Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, has extended the deadline for stakeholders to submit their memorandums to May 31, 2026. This extension, announced last week, is aimed at allowing central government employees, pensioners, and various associations to contribute suggestions before the commission finalizes its recommendations. The submission process began on March 5, 2026, with the original deadline set for April 30, 2026. Importantly, all submissions must be made online through a specified link, as paper-based or email submissions will not be considered. Additionally, the CPC has planned state visits to Telangana, Ladakh, and Jammu & Kashmir in May and June 2026 to engage with stakeholders directly. Meetings are scheduled in Hyderabad on May 18-19, Srinagar from June 1-4, and Ladakh on June 8. Participants will receive unique memo IDs, and further meeting details will be shared later.
