8th pay commission salary hike: The Government of India has recently announced the 8th Pay Commission, which is expected to be implemented from 1 January 2026. Under this commission, there is a possibility of significant increase in the salary of central government employees, which will improve their economic condition.
Now in such a situation, many people have the question that how much salary can increase in the years of government employees who have joined the recent years. Let’s find an answer in this news.
First understand how salary grows?
The role of fitment factor in the 8th Pay Commission will be important. The Fitment Factor is a multiplier used to modify the basic salary of employees. This factor was 2.57 in the 7th Pay Commission, but in the 8th Pay Commission it is likely to be kept between 2.28 and 2.86. If the fitment factor in the 8th Pay Commission is 2.86, then the current basic salary will increase from Rs 18,000 to Rs 51,480.
How much will the salary of new employees increase?
Understand this in such a way that until the 8th Pay Commission is implemented, all the jobs under the Central Government, all the joining in all is on the basis of the 7th Pay Commission. Now in such a situation, when the 8th Pay Commission will be applicable, it will be equally applicable to all central government employees, whether they were joined 1 year ago or 10 years ago.
Dearness allowance (DA) merger
Another important change in the 8th Pay Commission will be that the current dearness allowance (DA) will be merged into the basic salary. This decision will further increase the salary of the employees, as the percentage of DA will be connected with the basic salary. At present, employees get 55 percent DA, which is an important part of their basic salary. If it is merged into the basic salary, then their total salary will increase further.
