8th Pay Commission New Salary Calculator: What will be net salary at Level-7 with basic pay, fitment factor, DA, HRA, TA?
How much money will Pay Level-7 (GP-4600) employees actually take home? What will be the new basic pay? What fitment factor will be applied? And after adding allowances like HRA (House Rent Allowance) and TA (Travel Allowance), what will be the total net salary? What Is the 8th Pay Commission Fitment Factor?
The fitment factor is the multiplier that decides salary hike in every pay commission. It is the figure by which your basic pay is multiplied. In the 7th Pay Commission, it was 2.57. For the 8th Pay Commission, several media reports estimate the most likely scenario is a 1.92 fitment factor. We'll use this as the basis for calculating the salary for Pay Level-7. What Can Be the 8th Commission Salary? Pay Level 7th CPC Basic Pay 1.92 Fitment Factor 2.08 Fitment Factor 2.86 Fitment Factor Level 1 ₹18,000 ₹34,560 ₹37,440 ₹51,480 Level 2 ₹19,900 ₹38,208 ₹41,392 ₹56,914 Level 3 ₹21,700 ₹41,664 ₹45,136 ₹62,062 Level 4 ₹25,500 ₹48,960 ₹53,040 ₹72,930 Level 5 ₹29,200 ₹56,064 ₹60,736 ₹83,512 Level 6 ₹35,400 ₹67,968 ₹73,632 ₹1,01,244 Level 7 ₹44,900 ₹86,208 ₹93,392 ₹1,28,414 Level 8 ₹47,600 ₹91,392 ₹99,008 ₹1,36,136 Level 9 ₹53,100 ₹1,01,952 ₹1,10,448 ₹1,51,866 Level 10 ₹56,100 ₹1,07,712 ₹1,16,688 ₹1,60,446 8th CPC: Level-7 Salary Calculation (Step-by-Step)
Let's now do a complete breakdown of the new salary for a Level-7 employee. New Basic Salary Calculation Current Basic Pay (Level-7): Rs 44,900 Estimated Fitment Factor: 1.92 New Basic Pay Calculation: Rs 44,900 × 1.92 = Rs 86,208
The takeaway is that your basic salary will jump from Rs 44,900 to over Rs 86,000. Big Jump in Allowances
Now, on this new basic pay, your allowances will be added, making your salary even more attractive. Dearness Allowance (DA): When the new pay commission is implemented, DA will be reset to 0%. House Rent Allowance (HRA): For employees living in X-category cities (like Delhi or Mumbai), this will be 30% of the new basic pay. HRA = Rs 25,862 Travel Allowance (TA): For higher TPTA cities, this will be Rs 3,600. 8th CPC: Gross Salary vs Net Salary
Now, let's add everything up to see the total monthly earnings, i.e., the gross salary.
Gross Salary Calculation New Basic Salary: Rs 86,208 Dearness Allowance (DA): Rs 0 House Rent Allowance (HRA): Rs 25,862 Travel Allowance (TA): Rs 3,600
Total Gross Salary: Rs 1,15,670 per month
This is the amount that will appear on your salary slip. But to know how much will actually reach your bank account, we need to factor in deductions. Net Salary (In-Hand Salary) Calculation NPS Deduction: This is 10% of your Basic Pay + DA. 10% of Rs 86,208 = Rs 8,621 (approx.) CGHS Deduction: For this level, it will be Rs 650. Income Tax (Estimated): Under the new tax regime, around Rs 6,670 per month. So, how much will you take home? Gross Salary: Rs 1,15,670 Total Deductions (NPS + CGHS + Tax): Rs 8,621 + Rs 650 + Rs 6,670 = Rs15,941
Estimated Net In-Hand Salary: Rs 1,15,670 − Rs 15,941 = Rs 99,729 per month

Amid Russia Oil Row, India Says Its Energy Sector Is Rising Through Global Uncertainty
NEW DELHI: Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Sunday that India's energy sector is rising through global uncertainty with the reforms that have been rolled out in the oil and gas sector. "While the world faces fuel volatility, India is moving ahead with reforms. Oil refining capacity in the country has increased from 215 to 258 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA), and Jamnagar is now Asia's largest refinery, exporting petroleum products to 100+ countries," the minister said in a post on X. Highlighting the reforms in the upstream oil gas exploration and production segment, the minister said that the open acreage licensing policy (OALP) Round 10 has unlocked 2.5 lakh sq km for further exploration and production. The clearances required for exploration have also been reduced from 37 to 18 to facilitate the ease of doing business. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision is driving India's energy security through resilience with over $1.3 billion having been invested in the upstream segment to increase oil exploration and production," he said. The minister has also recently highlighted in the Parliament that India is witnessing a renewed surge in oil and gas exploration with the opening of nearly one million square kilometres of erstwhile 'No-Go' offshore areas in 2022. Since 2015, Exploration and Production companies operating in India have reported 172 hydrocarbon discoveries, including 62 in offshore areas. Puri highlighted the geological significance of the AN basin, which lies at the junction of the Andaman and Nicobar Basins within the Bengal-Arakan sedimentary system. The tectonic setting, located at the boundary of the Indian and Burmese plates, has led to the formation of numerous stratigraphic traps that are conducive to hydrocarbon accumulation. This geological promise is further amplified by the basin's proximity to proven petroleum systems in Myanmar and North Sumatra. The region has attracted renewed global interest following significant gas discoveries in South Andaman offshore Indonesia, underlining the geological continuity across the region, the minister explained. In a significant development, ONGC and Oil India Ltd (OIL) have launched an ambitious exploration campaign in the Andaman ultra-deepwater region. For the first time, drilling operations are targeting depths of up to 5,000 metres. One such wildcat well, ANDW-7, drilled in a carbonate play in the East Andaman Back Arc region, has yielded encouraging geological insights. These include traces of light crude and condensate in cutting samples, heavy hydrocarbons like C-5 neo-pentane in trip gases, the minister further stated. These findings establish, for the first time, the existence of an active thermogenic petroleum system in the region, comparable to those in Myanmar and North Sumatra. While commercial reserves remain to be established, this campaign has validated the presence of a working petroleum system and laid the foundation for focused exploration in the area, the minister said. Providing an overview of the exploration outcomes so far, the Minister informed that ONGC has made hydrocarbon discoveries in 20 blocks, with an estimated reserve of 75 million metric tonnes of oil equivalent (MMTOE). Oil India Ltd., on its part, has made seven oil and gas discoveries over the past four years, with reserves estimated at 9.8 million barrels of oil and 2,706.3 million standard cubic meters of gas.

8th pay commission news: What is a central govt employee's salary structure, and how does ToR impact it? Explained.
8th pay commission news update: The Centre has approved implementation of the 8th Pay Commission, which is set to revise the allowances, pensions, and salaries of present and retired central government employees, in line with inflation. While this was announced by Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in January, since then, there is much buzz about what benefits are likely and when it will be implemented. Notably, future moves are dependent on the 'Terms of Reference' or ToR, which Shiv Gopal Mishra, secretary, staff side of the National Council-Joint Consultative Machinery, told NDTV Profit is expected to be 'approved at the earliest'. So, today, we take a look at how a central government employee's salary is structured and how the ToR impacts it. The salary of a government employee consists of basic pay, dearness allowance (DA), house rent allowance (HRA) and transport allowance. The basic salary of employees constitutes 51.5 per cent of their total income, DA accounts for approximately 30.9 per cent, HRA accounts for about 15.4 per cent, and Travel allowance accounts for around 2.2 per cent, according to a report by Ambit Institutional Equities. ToR is a framework that defines the scope of a pay commission and specifies the areas in which it must offer recommendations. In the absence of a ToR, the commission lacks official recognition and is unable to initiate its functions, making it extremely important for the implementation of the pay commission. Without it decisison on the revisions made by the commission, including basic pay structure, allowances, pension revisions and other changes, would be inapplicable. The recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission are expected to be submitted by 2025-end, and is scheduled to come into effect from January 2026, according to a report by Ambit Institutional Equities. However, the actual rollout will depend on the completion of the report, its submission to the government, and the approval of its recommendations. Recommendations of the 8th pay commission are expected to be implemented in FY27 and will likely to increase government salaries and pensions by 30-34 per cent, the report said. It is expected to benefit over a crore of central government employees and retirees — nearly 50 lakh central government employees, including defence personnel; and close to 65 lakh central government pensioners, including defence retirees. Notably, the 4.4 million central government employees and armed forces personnel represent 0.7 per cent of India's 60 crore labour force, and nearly 9 per cent of the formal sector, the report said.
