8th Pay Commission: Level 1 Salary May Rise Nearly 40% With 1.92 Fitment Factor
Last Updated: The fitment factor is a multiplier used to calculate the revised basic pay for central government employees when a new pay commission is implemented. 8th Pay Commission: The 8th Pay Commission, officially announced in January 2024, is expected to be set up soon to revise salaries, pensions, and allowances for central government employees and retirees. Historically, pay commissions have revised salaries about every 10 years. The 6th Pay Commission (2006) and the 7th Pay Commission (2016) brought significant increases in basic pay and allowances. The minimum basic salary of central government employees was increased from Rs 2,750 to 7,000 under the 6th CPC, and from 7,000 to Rs 18,000 under 7th CPC. The pressing question among all employees and pensioners is how much their salary is expected to be increased in the 8th pay commission. What Is the Fitment Factor? The fitment factor is a multiplier used to calculate the revised basic pay for central government employees when a new pay commission is implemented. It ensures uniform salary hikes during the transition from the old to the new pay structure. Formula: New Basic Pay = Old Basic Pay × Fitment Factor Under the 7th Pay Commission, the fitment factor was set at 2.57. For instance, if an employee's basic pay was Rs 10,000 under the 6th CPC, their revised pay became: Rs 10,000 × 2.57 = Rs 25,700 According to several reports, the fitment factor could be 1.96 in the 8th pay commission. How Much Level 1 Employee Would See The Salary Hike On Fitment Factor Of 1.92? The 7th Pay Commission, introduced in 2016, replaced the old grade-pay system with a new structure called the Pay Matrix. This system categorizes salaries based on job positions, ranging from level 1 to level 18. Level 1: Entry-level positions such as peon, clerk, MTS If the fitment factor is 1.92, then Level 1 government employees may see a salary jump of around Rs 15,000 per month, which is about a 40% increase in take-home pay under the 8th Pay Commission.

8th Pay Commission: Delay Likely, But Will All Retirees After January 2026 Get Its Benefits?
Last Updated: The 8th Pay Commission for central government employees and pensioners may be delayed beyond January 1, 2026, but retirees after this date may still benefit from revised pensions. As discussions around the 8th Pay Commission continue among central government employees and pensioners, reports suggest that its implementation is likely to be delayed from the earlier expected date of January 1, 2026. Now, one key question is drawing attention: Will those retiring on or after January 1, 2026, still benefit if the pay commission's recommendations are delayed? 8th Pay Commission: What's The Status? The 8th Central Pay Commission, which will review and revise the salary structure, allowances, and pensions of over 50 lakh central government employees and around 65 lakh pensioners, was announced by the central government in January 2025. Its terms of reference (ToR) and members have not been finalised yet. However, last month, the government issued a circular informing that various vacancies, around 35 posts, will be filled on a deputation basis for the 8th Pay Commission. Pay commissions are typically constituted every 10 years, with the last (7th Pay Commission) being implemented from January 1, 2016. Its term is coming to an end on December 31, 2025. As its chairman, members and ToR have not been finalised yet, widespread expectations point to delay in its implementation to late 2026 or early 2027, against the expected timeline of January 1, 2026. Why Is It Getting Delayed? There has been no formal communication from the Ministry of Finance or the Department of Expenditure on the timeline. However, delays could be attributed to fiscal considerations and alternative pay adjustment mechanisms like the Aykroyd formula and inflation-linked increments, though they have not replaced the need for a full-fledged commission. Yes, if the commission's recommendations are implemented with a retrospective date (as in the past), those retiring after January 1, 2026, will receive revised pension and salary arrears. For example, when the 7th Pay Commission was implemented in 2016, many beneficiaries received arrears for months before the actual rollout date. What Kind of Salary Hike Is Expected? While official figures are yet to emerge, analysts and employee unions speculate that the minimum basic pay may increase from Rs 18,000 to Rs 26,000, representing a hike of around 40-44 per cent. According to several reports, the fitment factor, a key multiplier for revising salaries, could be 1.96 in the 8th pay commission, although this remains unconfirmed. If the fitment factor is 1.92, then Level 1 government employees may see a salary jump of around Rs 15,000 per month, which is about a 40% increase in take-home pay under the 8th Pay Commission.
