  "account": "The 8th Central Pay Commission (8th CPC) has set its terms of reference, with one question being whether Level 9 staff will receive a pension of Rs 68,000. The majority of pensioners receive their benefits under the Old Pension Scheme (OPS). Employees retiring on or after January 1, 2026, are expected to receive their pension under the OPS. Concerns have been raised by various employee and pensioner bodies regarding the inclusion of pension revision for those who retired before January 1, 2026, in the 8th CPC's terms of reference.",
