The 8th Pay Commission consultation process is moving into a new phase. On 23 July 2026, the Commission issued a formal notice confirming that it will hold interaction meetings with Associations, Federations, and Unions of Central Government and Union Territory employees based in Delhi. This 8th CPC Delhi Interaction Meeting 2026 is scheduled for 7 August (Friday) and 10 August 2026 (Monday).
If your association, federation, or union has already submitted its Memorandum to the Commission but hasn’t yet had a face-to-face interaction — in Delhi or in any State/UT — you can now apply for an appointment slot. But there’s a catch: the request has to be submitted by 31 July 2026, along with your unique Memo ID. Here’s everything you need to know, explained simply.

Background: Why Is the 8th CPC Meeting Associations Now?
The 8th Central Pay Commission was set up to review and recommend changes to the pay, allowances, and pension structure of Central Government employees. As part of its groundwork, the Commission invites Memorandums from recognised employee associations, federations, and unions — documents that outline demands on fitment factor, pay matrix, allowances, and service conditions.
Written submissions alone don’t always capture everything. That’s why the Commission also holds in-person interaction sessions, giving stakeholder bodies a chance to explain their demands directly. Delhi, home to a large number of Central Government employee unions and federations, is a natural early stop in this outreach.
Key Changes Under the 8th CPC Delhi Interaction Meeting 2026
- Two Delhi meeting dates confirmed — 7 August 2026 and 10 August 2026 — exclusively for associations/federations/unions located or registered in Delhi.
- New appointment window opened for stakeholders who have already filed their Memorandum but have not yet interacted with the Commission anywhere — not in Delhi, and not in any State/UT.
- Online application required through the Commission’s official appointment form, along with the association’s unique Memo ID.
- Last date to apply is 31 July 2026 — there’s no indication this will be extended, so don’t wait till the last moment.
- Venue and exact meeting time will be shared separately once appointments are confirmed.
- More meetings planned in Delhi and across various States/UTs in the coming months, to be updated on the Commission’s official website.
How Will My Salary Change?
This particular notice is about the consultation process, not a salary announcement — so there are no revised pay figures to share yet. The 8th CPC is still in the stage of hearing out associations and federations before it finalises its recommendations on fitment factor, pay matrix, and allowances.

Who Will Benefit From This?
This meeting notice directly concerns recognised Associations, Federations, and Unions of Central Government and UT employees that are located or registered in Delhi — as well as any stakeholder body, anywhere in India, that has submitted a Memorandum but hasn’t yet had a personal interaction with the Commission.
Indirectly, every Central Government employee benefits, because these interactions shape the final recommendations that will eventually decide the 8th CPC implementation date, pay matrix, and allowance structure for lakhs of employees and pensioners across the country.
