According to a report, delay in its implementation could result in a loss of approximately Rs 3 lakh to Level-7 employees. Let's understand how
How will the delay cause damage?
All things considered, there is talk that the 8th Pay Commission will be implemented from January 1, 2026. In such a case, the central employees will be entitled to a large amount of arrears. According to some experts, this arrears can be calculated on the basis of the difference between the revised basic pay and the basic pay already received.
Meanwhile, HRA allowances like house rent allowance under the 8th Pay Commission will not be paid as arrears. So this is where the possibility of loss arises. If the implementation takes a long time and arrears of allowances like house rent allowance are not paid for that period, the employees may suffer huge losses.
Potential loss of Level-7 personnel
Considering the loss of level-7 employees, their current basic salary is ₹44,900. If the 8th Pay Commission applies a fitment factor of 2.1, the basic pay will be approximately ₹94,290. Now, the House Rent Allowance (HRA) at the rate of 24% is ₹10,776 on the current basic salary of ₹44,900. Based on an estimated fitment factor of 2.1, the house rent allowance on this basis is approximately ₹22,630, which would translate into a monthly difference of approximately ₹11,854.
But how will delay cause harm?
If the government implements the 8th Pay Commission by January 2028, the employees may be paid arrears of their basic salary, but they may suffer a loss in House Rent Allowance (HRA) as per the calculation given above. This means that a Level 7 employee may lose Rs 11,854 in House Rent Allowance (HRA) per month. If this implementation takes place in January 2028, i.e. a delay of 25 months, the employee may suffer a loss of Rs 2,96,350.
