Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday announced that the state government has decided to constitute the 8th Assam Pay Commission, making Assam the first state in the country to initiate the process of forming 8th Assam Pay Commission.

The Chief Minister noted that while the Central Government has already constituted the 8th Pay Commission, no state government in India had so far taken steps to to follow the league at the state level. Breaking new ground, the Assam government took the decision on January 1 to move forward with the formation of the 8th Assam Pay Commission.

The commission will be constituted under the chairmanship of Subhas Das, former Additional Chief Secretary to the Government of Assam. The decision reflects the state government’s proactive approach towards addressing issues related to pay structure, allowances, and service conditions of state government employees.

The development is expected to benefit a large number of state government employees and pensioners in the coming years.

Further details regarding the terms of reference and timeline of the commission are expected to be announced by the state government in due course.
