The real key to salary hike: Fitment factor
The most important parameter for determining salary in the Pay Commission is the fitment factor. In the current 7th Pay Commission, it is 2.57, on the basis of which the minimum salary was fixed at Rs 18 thousand. Now, regarding the 8th Pay Commission, it is being speculated that the fitment factor may be reduced. If this happens, there will be a direct and big jump in the basic salary of the employees.
When can the new pay commission come into effect?
Traditionally the central government implements a new pay commission every 10 years. The 7th Pay Commission came into effect in the year 2016. Accordingly, the 8th Pay Commission is considered to be implemented from January 2026. It is believed that the government can make its formal announcement at the time of the budget or after that.
Not only basic salary, increase in allowances also
The benefit of pay commission is not limited to basic salary only. As the fitment factor increases, facilities like Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), Travel Allowance and PF contribution also automatically increase. This affects everyone from junior employees to senior officers and pensioners.
Why did employees’ expectations increase?
In view of the ever increasing inflation, daily expenses and cost of lifestyle, employees have been demanding salary revision for a long time. In such a situation, the stir regarding the 8th Pay Commission has further strengthened their hopes.
