When was the first pay commission formed
The Pay Commission is constituted to review and improve the salary structure of government employees. The first pay commission in India was established in 1946 and after this a new commission has been constituted every ten years. The recommendations of the last seventh pay commission were implemented from January 1, 2016. Now the recommendations of the Eighth Pay Commission are expected to be implemented from 2026.
How to know how much the salary will increase
It is not yet clear how much the salary of the employees will increase under the 8th Pay Commission. But according to reports, the fitment factor is expected to be increased from 2.57 to 2.86. Let us tell you, the fitment factor is an important number which is used to convert the existing salary to the new pay scale. Let us now understand how you will be able to know from the fitment factor how much your current salary will increase under the 8th Pay Commission.
Understand it like this, if the current basic pay of an employee is Rs 40,000 and the fitment factor becomes 2.86, then his new basic pay will be – 40,000 × 2.86 = Rs 114,400. If the fitment factor does not change and remains 2.57, then it will be – 40,000 × 2.57 = Rs 102,800. Now no matter how much your basic salary is 40, 50, 60, 70 thousand, you can use this formula to find out how much your salary will increase after the 8th Pay Commission.
How much will the salary of employees increase on an average?
Experts believe that under the 8th Pay Commission, government employees can get an average salary hike of 25 percent to 30 percent. Talking about the 6th and 7th Pay Commissions, there was an average increase of 40 percent and about 23-25 percent. Talking about the basic salary, this time it is expected that the minimum basic salary can increase by about 186 percent.
Changes in dearness allowance too
An important aspect of the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission will be the change in dearness allowance (DA).

This will have a positive impact on the total income of the employees.
