With the formation of the 8th Pay Commission, there are indications of major changes in the salary structure. According to the latest reports, a proposal of 3.25 fitment factor is under discussion to increase the basic salary of employees. If it is approved, there will be a bumper increase in the minimum salary of the employees. What is the new mathematics of the 8th Pay Commission? Currently, under the 7th Pay Commission, employees are getting salary on the basis of 2.57 fitment factor. For a long time, employee organizations were demanding to increase it to 3.68. However, sources say that the government can find a middle path and fix it at 3.25. If the fitment factor is 3.25, how much will the salary increase? Suppose the current minimum basic salary of an employee is Rs 18,000. In the 7th Pay Commission: $18,000 \times 2.57 = 46,260$$(Base of total salary) In the 8th Pay Commission (Proposed):$$18,000 \times 3.25 = 58,500$$(New Base)With its implementation, a direct increase in the basic salary can be seen from Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000. This will bring great relief not only to the current employees but also to the retired pensioners. When will the 8th Pay Commission be constituted? According to the rules, the Central Government constitutes a new Pay Commission every 10 years. The 7th Pay Commission was implemented in 2016, according to which the 8th Pay Commission should be implemented from January 1, 2026. There are speculations that the government may make an official announcement of its formation in the upcoming budget session or before that. Dearness Allowance (DA) will also get the benefit. Not only the fitment factor, but the formula of merging Dearness Allowance (DA) with the basic salary in the 8th Pay Commission can also be considered. With this, the allowances will be calculated afresh, due to which the in-hand salary of the employees will increase significantly.
