8th Pay Commission: The central government has approved the 8th Pay Commission. With the advent of the 8th Pay Commission, central employees and pensioners will get the benefit of salary hike. There are more than 1 crore central employees and pensioners in the country. This pay commission will be constituted in 2025 and is likely to be implemented from 2026. Right now peons, clerks, constables and crores of employees are busy calculating their salaries. The 7th Pay Commission was implemented in 2016, in which there was a good increase in the salary of the employees.
New salary will be decided by fitment factor
Under the 8th Pay Commission, salary will be increased on the basis of Fitment Factor. It is a multiplier, by which the new salary is decided by multiplying the existing basic salary. In the 7th Pay Commission, it was 2.57, due to which the minimum salary of the employees was increased from Rs 7,000 to Rs 18,000.
This time it has been recommended to increase the fitment factor to 2.86. If this is implemented, the minimum basic salary of the employees can increase from Rs 18,000 to Rs 51,480. Similarly, the pension can increase from Rs 9,000 to Rs 25,740.
How much will the salary increase from peon to clerk?
If the fitment factor is fixed at 2.86 in the 8th Pay Commission, then the central employees will get a huge increase in salary.
The current salary of the lowest level employees, i.e. level-1, such as peon and attendant, can increase from Rs 18,000 to Rs 51,480. Similarly, the salary of Lower Division Clerk (LDC) can increase from Rs 19,900 to Rs 56,914.
The salary of constables and skilled employees can also increase to Rs 62,062, which is currently Rs 21,700. At the same time, the current salary of Rs 25,500 of stenographers and junior clerks can increase to Rs 72,930.
The salary of senior clerks and technical employees will also increase significantly. Currently, they are getting Rs 29,200, which is likely to increase to Rs 83,512.
Pensioners will also get benefit
With the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission, the pension of pensioners will also increase. If the new fitment factor 2.86 is implemented, the minimum pension can increase from Rs 9,000 to Rs 25,740. This will also provide relief to retired employees.
When will the 8th Pay Commission be implemented?
The government has announced the formation of the 8th Pay Commission in 2025, so that it can be implemented from January 2026. Earlier, the 7th Pay Commission was constituted in 2014 and implemented in 2016.
Waiting for the official announcement of the government
Now all eyes are on the official announcement of the government. If the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission are implemented, then central employees and pensioners will get a big benefit in salary and pension. This will strengthen their financial condition and make living easier.
