The government of India has launched the official website (https://8cpc.gov.in/) of the 8th Central Pay Commission (8th CPC), which was notified in November 2025 and has started functioning now. After the website’s launch early in February 2026, the 8th Pay Commission posted an 18-point questionnaire, asking central government employees, pensioners and other stakeholders to provide feedback on issues pertaining to wages, allowances and other rules.

The 8th Pay Commission website serves as the central information hub for updates, notifications, questionnaires, vacancy circulars and official communications related to the 8th CPC. The website includes vacancy circulars for various posts related to the functioning of the 8th Pay Commission. Most of the vacancies for many posts are on a deputation basis.

The 8th Central Pay Commission website solicits views, opinions and inputs for being better informed. These inputs are being sought in a structured manner through a questionnaire with 18 questions hosted on the MyGov.in web portal.
