8th Pay Commission Benefits For State Government Employees: The Government of India constitutes a pay commission every 10 years to reschedule the salary, allowances and pension of government employees. This commission gives suggestions to improve the salary and standard of living of government employees. Recently, the formation of the 8th Pay Commission has been announced, which has created a wave of happiness among employees and pensioners. Now the question arises that when this pay commission will be implemented, which state will be affected first. Along with this, the question is that after the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission, the salary of government employees of which state will increase the most. Let us know about it in detail in this news.
Impact of 8th Pay Commission on States
The recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission will first be applicable to central employees. After this, the states will also have to implement them. At the time of the 7th Pay Commission, most of the states had adopted the recommendations of the Center. However, the method and time limit of each state is different. In simple language, it is not necessary that the time the Center implements the 8th Pay Commission on its employees, the 8th Pay Commission should be implemented on the employees of the states from the same time. Let us now understand how the recommendations of the new Pay Commission are applicable to the states.
How are the recommendations implemented?
In fact, when the central government implements the new recommendations of the Pay Commission, it also issues guidelines on how the states have to implement it. After this, every state makes a plan based on its budget and number of employees. States make different pay matrices keeping in mind their needs and financial situation. However, the fitment factor is used to convert the existing salary into the new pay scale. The Center also does the same.
For example, the fitment factor is 2.57 right now, but if it is increased to 2.86, then your current basic salary will be multiplied by 2.86, the new figure will be your increased basic salary. Let us tell you, the dearness allowance (DA) of employees is increased according to inflation. If we talk about the last time i.e. 7th Pay Commission, then the salary of state and central government employees was increased by an average of 20-25 percent.
In which states salary increases first?
As soon as the 8th Pay Commission is implemented on central employees, the central government will also issue guidelines for the states. In such a situation, how to implement it in their state depends on the state governments. However, if we look at the decisions of the implementation of previous pay commissions, it is known that these recommendations are implemented quickly in big and rich states.
For example, at the time of the 7th Pay Commission, states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu showed speed and implemented it first. On the other hand, if we talk about the 8th Pay Commission, then the employees of states like Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra can get more benefit in this, because the economic condition of these states is strong and the same party is in power at the center and the state. As far as the maximum salary increase is concerned, the state government which will increase the basic salary on the fitment factor of the central government, the salary of the government employees of that state will increase the most.
