A big news related to the 8th Pay Commission is coming out, which can provide great relief to crores of central employees and pensioners. The central government has started preparing to set up the 8th Central Pay Commission.
Actually, the current pay structure is ending in December 2025, but the government has already become active towards the appointment of the new commission. According to sources, recruitment for 42 posts including the chairman in the commission is going to be held soon and it is likely that the next month of this new Pay Commission will start the formal functioning.
Fitment Factor of 8th Pay Commission
The most important thing of the Pay Commission is “Fitment Factor”. This is a formula from which a new basic salary of government employees is fixed. Simply understand, new basic salary = old basic salary × fitment factor. This factor in the 7th Pay Commission was 2.57, that is, if your basic salary was 10,000, then according to the new Commission it had increased to 25,700.
It is now discussed that this factor in the 8th Pay Commission can increase to 2.86. If this happens, the current basic salary of 20,000 of an employee can increase to 57,200. That is, the benefit of more than 37,000 directly.
Whose salary will increase
The effect of this change will be clearly visible on the employees’ pockets. Below are some projected figures that show what can be the effect of the change of fitment factor on different basic salary. For example, if your old salary was 30,000, it was 77,100 in the 7th Pay Commission, but the same salary in the 8th Pay Commission can go up to 85,800. At the same time, some staff organizations are demanding that the fitment factor be increased to 3.68, so that the old salary of 30,000 can reach 1,10,400.
