When is the 8th Pay Commission Mumbai visit?
On Thursday 22 and Friday 23 October 2026. The notice (No. 35/14/2026-VST/8CPC, dated 21 September 2026) was signed by Director Anand Kumar Jha Confirmed.
- Who could apply: organisations, institutions, associations and unions of central government employees who want to meet the Commission in Mumbai.
- How: an online request through the NIC form linked in the notice PDF, along with the “Unique Memo ID” you got after submitting your memorandum.
- Last date: 10 October 2026. It has passed.
- Venue and timings: the notice says these will be told to applicants later. They are not public.
Railway field visit Reported: PTI and Mint report that the Railway Board wrote to AIRF and NFIR about a Commission visit to Central Railway units in Mumbai (CSMT). The plan includes track maintainers (keymen, patrolmen), pointsmen, signal staff, a control room, a workshop and a locomotive ride with running staff. This is not on 8cpc.gov.in.
Who can meet the 8th Pay Commission, and how?
Each visit notice invites organisations, associations and unions, not individual employees. They must send an online request before the last date. The Commission then tells them the slot and venue.
The Mumbai notice asks for the Unique Memo ID. You get it only after filing a memorandum. As the memorandum window closed on 15 June 2026, in practice only bodies that already filed one can ask for a meeting.
If you are an individual employee or pensioner, take your point to your union or pensioners’ association. They speak for you at these meetings. See what the staff side has asked for on our 8th Pay Commission union demands page.
What were the 8th Pay Commission memorandum and questionnaire deadlines?
| What | Dates | How to submit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Questionnaire (18 questions) on MyGov | 5 Feb – 31 Mar 2026 (moved from 16 Mar) | Online, 8cpc.gov.in / MyGov | Closed Confirmed |
| Memorandum (online format) | Opened 5 Mar 2026. Last date 30 Apr, then 31 May, then 15 Jun 2026 | Online only on 8cpc.gov.in and innovateindia.mygov.in. Paper, email and PDF “may not be considered” (PIB) | Closed Confirmed (extension notice) |
| NC-JCM staff-side memorandum | 28 Apr 2026 | Presented by the NC-JCM Standing Committee | Reported |
| Meeting requests for visits | Different last date for each city (see table above) | Online NIC form in each notice | Mumbai closed 10 Oct Confirmed |
What happens after the Mumbai meeting?
- No visit after Mumbai is listed on 8cpc.gov.in yet (checked 20 October 2026). We add new cities here the day a notice appears.
- The Commission has 18 months from 3 November 2025, so its report is due around early May 2027 Estimate. Interim reports are allowed, but none is announced.
- After the report, the Cabinet decides the fitment factor, pay matrix and date of effect. None of these has been announced.
- When the Cabinet approved the Terms of Reference, PIB said the effect “would normally be expected from 01.01.2026” (PIB, 28 Oct 2025). That is past practice, not an order.
How will the 8th Pay Commission affect my salary?
Nobody knows the final numbers yet. Until then, DA keeps rising under the 7th CPC (60% from 1 January 2026). You can test scenarios on our tools:

- 8th Pay Commission fitment factor: what 2.57, 3.0 or 3.833 would mean.
- 7th CPC pay matrix: your current level and cell, the starting point for any new matrix.
- Pension calculator: for pensioners and family pensioners.
- DA hike tracker: the July 2026 DA is still pending.
