Union cabinet led by PM Narendra Modi will take some big decisions about the new salary structure and pension under the 8th Pay Commission. After the making of the panel, the new salary hike and amount of pensions will be reviewed and then will be finalised after discussion. The central government increases DA and DR twice a year, the first hike will be effective from January 1 and the other from July 1. How much salary can increase depending of the fitment factor? Here’s a list of possibilities bellow.

Meanwhile, since the central government has not yet taken any decision on the 8th Pay Commission, it can be said that there is still dissatisfaction among the central government employees and pensioners. It is supposed to come into effect from January 1, 2026. But since there has been no update on this so far, it can be said that the employees are unhappy. The appointment of the chairman and other members of the Eighth Pay Commission has not yet taken place. In this context, there are reports that the central government is likely to take a key decision on the Eighth Pay Commission soon. Official sources say that the central government will soon take a decision on the appointment of the chairman and other members of the Pay Commission, while in the case of the 8th Pay Commission, the central government employees are insisting on the fitment factor on a large scale. However, the employee unions are insisting that a higher fitment factor should be announced this time than in the past, and that there should be at least a fitment factor of 2.86.
