The meeting agenda will focus on assessing the implications of the government’s decision to set up the 8th Pay Commission and formulating a coordinated response and strategy on behalf of central government employees.

The meeting comes shortly after the Government of India’s Gazette Notification dated November 3, 2025, which officially announced the formation of the 8th Central Pay Commission. The Commission will be responsible for reviewing and recommending revisions to the pay, allowances, and pension structures for central government employees and pensioners.

This gathering marks the first organized consultation among staff representatives since the government’s announcement, and is expected to outline the NC-JCM’s initial stand and action plan in upcoming deliberations with official committees.

The Staff Side, which represents central government employees across various departments and sectors, is expected to push for timely implementation, fair pay rationalization, and pension reforms aligned with inflation and living cost trends.

Shiva Gopal Mishra, in his notice, emphasized the importance of full participation from Standing Committee members to ensure a unified and well-prepared approach as discussions on the 8th Pay Commission gain momentum.
