Mission: Future-Ready Pay

Mission: Future-Ready Pay

The Indian Army has been proactive, establishing the Army Pay Commission Cell (APCC) to spearhead preparations and draft a detailed Service Memorandum.

Gathering Feedback from the Grassroots

Gathering Feedback from the Grassroots

The APCC is ensuring every rank and category has a voice, inviting feedback to resolve existing anomalies and suggest improvements for the 8th CPC. 

A key focus is resolving carry-forward anomalies from previous Pay Commissions, especially those affecting pay fixation, rank equivalence, and policy discrepancies

A major aspiration is achieving parity with civilian counterparts and rationalizing allowances to make the compensation structure more transparent and equitable.

The Army proposes studies to link military compensation to operational risk, technological intensity, and individual performance and skill-based incentives.

Over 15 critical domains are under the scanner, including Risk & Hardship Allowances, House Rent Allowance (HRA), Children Education Subsidy, and Pension Matters (OROP).

This inclusive effort aims for a fair, transparent, and future-ready compensation structure that will equally benefit the Army, Navy, Air Force, and all Veterans.
