8th Pay Commission Salary Hike: At the beginning of 2025, the 8th Pay Commission was approved for central employees and pensioners. Right now, the government has not been able to take even a single step forward on the 8th Pay Commission. It is expected that the government will soon constitute the 8th Pay Commission in April, which will prove to be a significant gift.
The question arises in everyone’s mind: How many thousand rupees will the employees’ salary increase as soon as the 8th pay is implemented? Many such unresolved questions are arising in people’s minds. Do you know that the scale for increasing salary is the fitment factor? In such a situation, how much will the wages of the new central employees be? You can understand the complete calculation below.
How much will the salary increase?
With the 8th Pay Commission, the fitment factor will be seen playing a significant role, based on which there will be a bumper increase in the salary. The fitment factor in the Seventh Pay Commission was 2.57. In the 8th Pay Commission, it is likely to be increased to 2.86.
If the fitment factor is 2.86, the current basic salary will increase from Rs 18,000 to Rs 51,480. Accordingly, an increase of Rs 33,480 can be seen in the wage. The increased wage will be like a booster dose for the central employees.
DA will be merged
Many significant changes are expected in the 8th Pay Commission. The existing DA can be merged with the basic salary. This decision will work to increase the wages of the employees further. The most important thing is that the percentage of DA will also be added to the basic salary.
Currently, 55 percent of the DA is given to the central employees. Earlier, the employees used to get 53 percent DA. If it were merged, then an even more significant increase can be seen in the total salary.
For how many years has the Commission been?
For information, let us tell you that the tradition of implementing a new pay commission every ten years has been going on in India for a long time. The 7th Pay Commission was implemented on January 1, 2026. Accordingly, the 7th Pay Commission will complete ten years on December 311, 20255. The salary will jump like a leopard as soon as it is implemented.
