8th Pay Commission: All central government employees and pensioners are now eagerly awaiting the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission. If the 10-year tradition is considered paramount, then the 8th Pay Commission will be implemented on January 1, 2026, which is being discussed rapidly. Approximately 50 lakh and more than 65 lakh central government pensioners will receive their benefits.
Everyone has a question about a salary increase. Employees are wondering how much their salaries will increase as soon as the new pay commission is implemented. Not only this, but they are also wondering what the basis will be for improving the salaries of central employees. You can find the details to resolve your confusion below. For this, please read our report carefully.
What will be the basis for a salary increase?
What will be the basis for a salary increase as soon as the 8th Pay Commission is implemented? The most crucial role in the new salary structure will be that of the fitment factor. It is a multiple. By multiplying the existing basic salary, the new wage is determined. In the 7th Pay Commission, this factor was 2.57.
If media reports are to be believed, the 8th Pay Commission may award a salary between 2.5 and 2.87. On the other hand, employee organisations are demanding an increase in the fitment factor to 3.68. This only improves the salary.
DA can also be included.
In every new pay commission for central employees, DA is included in the basic salary. Central employees are now receiving a 55 per cent D benefit. As soon as the new pay commission is implemented, the work of resetting it in the structure can be done. In the latest recommendations of the Pay Commission, increases can also be seen in house rent allowance, transport allowance, and other allowances. The work of implementing the new pension calculation method can also be done for pensioners.
When is it likely to be implemented?
For your information, please note that the central government has not yet formed the 8th Pay Commission, which everyone is eagerly awaiting. The report of the new pay commission can be prepared in the next 18 to 20 months. After this, it can be implemented again.
