Discussions of increasing salary of government employees have always been a matter of discussion, especially when it is a matter of 8th pay commission. Every time the new pay commission is formed, an increase is estimated on the basis of basic salary, allowances and fitment factor of government employees. Do you know how much will the salary of the watchman increase after its implementation?
According to the 7th Pay Commission, the initial basic salary of Chowkidars is around Rs 18,000. Along with this, they used to get dearness allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA) and other allowances. Basic Pay’s Level Pay for Group-D employees falls under Level 1.
According to media reports, employees from pay level 1 to 5 are expected to get the most benefits in the 8th Pay Commission. Especially the lower level employees like Chowkidar can take advantage of the highest salary increase according to percentage.
Reports estimated that basic pay can increase from Rs 18,000 to Rs 41,000 to 51,480. This increase will depend on the fitment factor, which can be fixed between 2.28 and 2.86. The Fitment Factor is the coefficient that implements an increase in the current salary and the Pay Commission decides it every time according to economic and budgetary conditions.

Allowance will also benefit
Not only basic salary, but there is a possibility of increasing the other allowances to the watchman. These include dearness allowance (DA), travel allowance (TA) and Housing Allowance (HRA). Experts say that if the basic pay increases, then these allowances will also increase naturally. This means that there will be a significant increase in the total income of the watchman.
Why the watchman will get more benefit?
Group-D employees, including the watchman, sweeper and other lower level government employees, are likely to get a higher percentage increase because their current is the lowest on basic pay. If seen according to the percentage, then they will get direct benefit of the increase and the standard of living will improve.
