8th Pay Commission: A fitment factor is an important formula in increasing the salary by the Pay Commission. At the time of the Seventh Pay Commission, this fitment was 2.57 and with this the minimum salary was increased from seven thousand to eighteen thousand.
8th Pay Commission: Central employees and pensioners are eagerly waiting for the implementation of the Eighth Pay Commission. According to reports, the government can constitute the Eighth Pay Commission in the month of April 2025, that is, it can be formed this month. Also, the recommendations of the Pay Commission can be implemented next year i.e. 2026 or 27. But, if it is implemented, then the monthly salary of central employees and pension of pensioners can increase by about fourteen thousand to nineteen thousand rupees.
At present, the average monthly salary of central employees is about one lakh and after the implementation of the new pay commission, it will increase by about 14 to 19 percent. That is, after that, if the government keeps a budget of 1.75 lakh crores, then the salary of these central employees will increase by about 14 thousand 600 rupees.
Whereas, if a budget of 2 lakh crores is kept by the government, then their salary can increase by about 16 thousand 600 rupees. It is worth noting that the current more than 50 lakh central employees and more than 65 lakh pensioners will directly benefit from the Eighth Pay Commission. Last time, i.e., in the Seventh Pay Commission, the government had spent Rs 1.02 lakh crore.
However, a fitment factor is an important formula in increasing the money by the Pay Commission. At the time of the Seventh Pay Commission, this fitment was 2.57 and with this the minimum salary was increased from seven thousand to eighteen thousand. But if the same formula is applied this time also, then the minimum salary of central employees will be 46 thousand 260 and the pension will increase from 9 thousand rupees to 23 thousand 130 rupees. In such a situation, how much the salary of central employees will increase will depend on the recommendations of the Eighth Pay Commission and the budget of the government.
