Level-wise and cadre-wise 8th Pay Commission salary list for Assam state government employees, covering approximately ~4.5 lakh employees & 2.5 lakh pensioners. Current state DA is 50%. Use this page to compare the likely 8th Pay Commission salary increase 2026 by level and post. Assam adopts the central pay matrix through the Assam Services (ROP) Rules, typically 6–12 months after the centre.
How Assam implements pay commission revisions
The state Revised Pay Rules replicate the central 7th CPC pay matrix level for level, so an 8th CPC fitment factor applied to the central matrix gives a close projection for state employees too. Assam's ROP rules retained the 14 pay-band structure mapped onto central levels.
What to expect on 8th CPC rollout
A Central Pay Commission revision does not automatically change state pay. The Assam government must review the central recommendations and issue its own adoption order. The 2.57x and 2.86x columns above are comparison scenarios requested by readers; neither is a notified fitment factor. Effective dates, DA treatment and HRA rules may differ by state.
