What is fitment factor
The fitment factor is the factor that increases the salary of central employees by more than two and a half times. According to the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, the salary of central employees is determined by their basic salary and fitment factor in addition to allowances.
Government is considering
In fact, there has been a long-standing demand of central and state government employees that their fitment factor should be increased from 2.57 per cent to 3.68 per cent. It is expected that the fitment factor of central employees can be decided before the new financial year. After this, the minimum salary of the employees will also increase.
Calculation on minimum basic salary
Minimum basic salary = Rs 18,000
Salary excluding allowances = 18,000 X 2.57 = Rs 46,260.
26000X3 = Rs.78000 on 3% basis
Total addition = 78000-46,260 = 31,740
That is, the overall salary of the employees will increase by Rs 31,740. This calculation has been done on the minimum basic salary. The benefit of those with maximum salary will be more.
How much will the salary increase
If there is an agreement on the fitment factor (Central government employee fitment factor), then there will be a bumper increase in the salary of the employees. In fact, increasing the fitment factor also increases the minimum wage. At present, employees are getting salary under fitment factor on the basis of 2.57 percent fitment factor. Now the discussion is going on to increase it to 3.68 percent.
Emphasis on increasing the fitment factor by 3 times
The government wants to implement the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, but is not in favor of increasing the minimum salary under 7th CPC.
