India
The Federation of National Postal Organisations (FNPO) is urging the eighth Pay Commission to boost salaries and improve job growth for postal employees.
They are expecting back pay, between ₹3.6 lakh and ₹15 lakh, to make up for delays since January 2026, and submitted these demands ahead of the April 28-30, 2026 consultations in New Delhi.
FNPO pushes 3.83 fitment, 6% raises
FNPO's wish list includes raising the fitment factor to 3.83 (up from 2.57), bigger annual raises at 6%, and housing allowances bumped up to 40% linked with dearness allowance.
They are also pushing for at least five guaranteed promotions, more gender-inclusive policies, and secure pensions funded by the government's main pool.
