8th Pay Commission: The 8th Pay Commission for Central Government employees is coming with great hope. After the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission, all government employees are expected to increase a huge increase in salary and allowances. Under this commission, not only basic salary will increase, but house rent allowance, travel allowance, children’s education allowance and other allowances will also be revised. All this change will be based on the fitment factor. The fitment factor will decide how much increase in the salary of employees.
This news is very important for government jobs. Along with salary, this change will also have a direct impact in facilities like HRA, TA, NPS and CGHS. However, this change will be applicable only after the announcement and report of the Commission. Currently, this estimate is based on the fitment factor of 2.08.
What is fitment factor?
The 6th Pay Commission had a fitment factor: 1.86
This increased to 7th Pay Commission: 2.57
Possible Fitment Factor in 8th Pay Commission: 2.08
If the fitment factor of 2.08 is applied to the 8th Pay Commission, then in addition to the basic salary of all employees, many allowances are sure to increase.
Who decides salary?
The Pay Commission consists of retired judges, senior economists, experienced officers and experts. They talk to trade unions and departments and prepare reports. The government takes a final decision on the report and then salary applies.
Now we know how much salary can be done at which level in the 8th Pay Commission.
