Next pay revision for state employees: As of 22 October 2026 we found no Haryana government order, budget speech or press release setting up a state pay commission or saying how the 8th CPC will be applied to state employees. In 2016 Haryana adopted the central 7th CPC matrix by its own rules; any similar move for the 8th CPC would need a separate state decision.
