8th Pay Commission: Central Government Teachers Seek OPS Return, Retirement Age Hike To 65

For central government teachers, the 8th Pay Commission is turning into a discussion that goes well beyond a routine salary revision. Employee representatives have put forward demands covering pension, retirement age, career progression and other service benefits, seeking changes that could affect both their working years and post-retirement security. Among the prominent proposals are the restoration of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) and an increase in the retirement age of central government school teachers from 60 to 65 years, reported Outlook Money. The demands have been placed before the 8th Central Pay Commission as it continues its consultations with employee associations, unions and other stakeholders before preparing its recommendations. Teachers Want A Return To The Old Pension Scheme One of the key demands raised by the teachers' representatives is the restoration of the Old Pension Scheme for central government teachers currently covered by the National Pension System (NPS). The demand comes amid the wider debate over pension security for government employees. The All India NPS Employees' Federation has also previously sought an option for NPS subscribers to switch to OPS. The teachers' side has argued for a return to the earlier pension framework rather than continuing under the existing arrangements. The issue is part of a larger set of pension-related demands being placed before the 8th Pay Commission, which has been tasked with considering pay, pensions, allowances and other service-related matters. Retirement Age Demand: From 60 To 65 Another major proposal concerns the age at which central government school teachers retire. The teachers' representatives have sought an increase from 60 years to 65 years, pointing to the retirement age applicable to teachers covered by the University Grants Commission (UGC) as a comparison. For the teachers' body, the proposal is therefore not limited to pay revision. It seeks to alter the broader terms governing the length of service and retirement. Also Read : Gold Silver Rate Today (Aug 10): Metals Rise, Check Latest Rates In Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, More Other Benefits Also On The Table The demands being presented to the 8th Pay Commission extend into areas such as leave, promotions and healthcare. Teachers' representatives have sought changes to provisions governing career progression and service benefits, along with improvements in healthcare facilities. Earlier proposals from central government teachers' bodies have also included changes to promotion timelines, leave provisions, gratuity and other benefits. Mint reported in April that the PSNM had sought, among other measures, restoration of OPS, a higher retirement age, assured promotions and changes to allowances and gratuity. These proposals reflect the broader scope of the 8th Pay Commission, where employee organisations are putting forward demands that go beyond basic salary and the fitment factor. 8th Pay Commission Still Gathering Employee Feedback The Commission is continuing its nationwide consultation exercise before it prepares its recommendations. The 8th Central Pay Commission was constituted by the Centre on November 3, 2025. Its official website shows that it has been conducting meetings with associations and unions as well as visits to different states and Union Territories to gather stakeholder views. The consultation process has included meetings in several locations. The Commission held its scheduled visit to Kolkata on July 9 and 10, 2026, according to its official calendar. It has also announced further stakeholder interactions in Delhi on August 7 and 10, followed by meetings in Chennai on September 7 and 8 and Puducherry on September 9. The Commission's continuing consultations mean employee associations still have an opportunity to put their concerns and proposals before the panel.

While salary revision and the fitment factor remain major points of interest for central government employees, the consultation process is also bringing pension security, retirement age, promotions, leave and healthcare into focus. However, these are demands submitted by employee organisations and do not represent decisions of the 8th Pay Commission or the government. The Commission will have to consider the representations received from different stakeholders before finalising its recommendations.

Dalal Street On Edge As Benchmarks Remain Rangebound, Sensex Tests 24,600, Nifty Marginally Up

Indian equity markets remained largely rangebound during Monday’s trading session as benchmark indices struggled to establish a firm direction. While positive global cues offered some support, elevated crude oil prices and caution at higher levels kept gains in check. The BSE Sensex settled trading under 78,550, rising close to 50 points, while the NSE Nifty50 inched closer to 24,600, logging a gain of merely 13 points, as markets ended. At around 1:45 pm, the Sensex was trading 105.69 points, or 0.13 per cent, higher at 78,604.86. The Nifty was up 38.05 points, or 0.15 per cent, at 24,608.70. Both indices moved between positive and negative territory through the session, reflecting a lack of conviction among investors. Midcaps Outperform; Realty Leads Sectoral Gains The broader market displayed relatively stronger momentum, with the Nifty Midcap index gaining around 0.7 per cent, while the small-cap index remained largely flat. The Nifty Bank index traded under pressure near the 57,600 level, declining around 0.2 per cent as losses in PSU banking stocks outweighed gains among select private-sector lenders. Nifty Realty was among the strongest sectoral performers, rising around 1.6 per cent, led by buying interest in stocks including DLF, Godrej Properties and Phoenix Mills. The Nifty Auto index also remained in positive territory, supported by gains in Hero MotoCorp, Bosch and TVS Motor. IT stocks traded higher as softer US employment data reduced expectations of an imminent interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. In contrast, the Nifty PSU Bank index fell around 1.3 per cent, with SBI, Bank of India and Canara Bank emerging as key drags. Nifty PSE and pharmaceutical stocks also remained weak. Hitachi Energy, Paytm, Titan Among Key Movers Among individual stocks, Hitachi Energy India surged more than 11 per cent to around Rs 36,240 following strong quarterly earnings and positive commentary on its growth outlook. The company reported a more than 123 per cent year-on-year rise in quarterly profit. Paytm gained around 9 per cent to Rs 1,573 after favourable analyst commentary helped the stock reach a fresh 52-week high. Also Read : Gold Silver Rate Today (Aug 10): Metals Rise, Check Latest Rates In Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, More Titan Company advanced nearly 3 per cent after reporting a 63 per cent year-on-year increase in Q1 consolidated net profit to Rs 1,777 crore, driven by robust jewellery demand. Power Finance Corporation, however, declined more than 8 per cent as investors reacted to concerns over net interest income, margins and the growth outlook following its quarterly results. IT, Consumer Stocks Support Benchmarks Among Sensex constituents, Titan, Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, Tata Steel, Asian Paints and Infosys were among the prominent gainers. On the other hand, State Bank of India, Eternal, NTPC, ITC and Tata Consultancy Services ended among the major laggards. The broader market also managed to hold on to modest gains. The BSE MidCap Select index rose 0.22 per cent, while the SmallCap Select index gained 0.16 per cent. Crude Oil Rises As Hormuz Uncertainty Persists Crude oil prices remained a key concern for investors. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 1.10 per cent to $84.47 per barrel. Analysts said uncertainty over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz continued to restrict risk appetite. According to Hariselvan Radhakrishnan, Founder & CEO of HST Wealth, the market remained largely directionless as the absence of concrete progress towards a lasting settlement in West Asia, coupled with Iran's tougher position on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, discouraged aggressive buying. Earnings Provide Some Support While geopolitical uncertainty weighed on sentiment, corporate earnings offered some relief to investors. Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited, said markets remained constrained by the uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, although encouraging earnings helped support broader sentiment. He also noted that weaker-than-expected US jobs data had reduced expectations of a more restrictive Federal Reserve policy, shifting investor attention towards upcoming US inflation data for clues on interest rates and bond yields. FII, DII Flows and Global Cues in Focus Institutional activity had provided some support in the previous session. On August 7, FIIs were net buyers of Rs 480.24 crore in the cash market, while DIIs purchased shares worth Rs 235.56 crore. Data for August 10 will be released after the market closes. Asian markets traded higher on Monday after Wall Street indices ended at record levels on Friday, supported by softer US jobs data. Japan’s Nikkei gained around 2 per cent. However, crude oil remained a key concern for domestic equities. Brent crude was trading near $83.50 per barrel amid continued uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
