8th Central Pay Commission to Visit Lucknow on June 22–23 for Stakeholder Consultations
The Eighth Central Pay Commission has announced its visit to Lucknow on June 22 and 23, 2026, as part of its nationwide consultation process with central government employees, pensioners, unions, and various stakeholder organizations.
According to the official notice issued by the Commission, the Lucknow visit aims to gather suggestions, representations, and feedback regarding revision of pay scales, allowances, pensions, and service conditions of Central Government employees.
The Commission has invited organizations, unions, and associations based in Uttar Pradesh to seek appointments and participate in the interaction sessions during the two-day visit. Stakeholders from other states have been advised to wait for consultations in their respective regions as the Commission is conducting state-wise outreach programs across the country.
The ongoing consultation exercise is considered a crucial step in the preparation of the 8th CPC recommendations, which are expected to impact millions of Central Government employees and pensioners. Discussions are likely to cover issues such as minimum pay, fitment factor, pension revision, allowances, and service-related reforms.
The official website of the Commission has also been inviting memorandums and suggestions from stakeholders to ensure wider participation in the pay revision process.
The Lucknow visit follows similar consultation meetings already conducted or scheduled in cities including Delhi, Hyderabad, Srinagar, Pune, and Leh as part of the Commission’s nationwide engagement programme.
