Employee organizations believe that there will be a big increase in the minimum salary in the upcoming 8th Pay Commission (8th pay commission news). The minimum wage of Rs 18,000 at present may increase significantly to Rs 51,480 in the upcoming changes. According to reports, representative organizations of employees like National Council-Joint Consultative Machinery have demanded a fitment factor of 2.57 for salary determination, which will increase the salary of employees by up to 157 percent.
Employees’ salary will increase by this much –
According to the calculation related to this coefficient, the salary of the employees can increase from Rs 150 to Rs 160 percent. The main objective of this change is to provide better living standards to the employees and give them fair value for their hard work. It is being said that the fitment factor of 2.57 will be applicable in any case, because it was also found in the previous pay commission, this time inflation has increased more, so there will be no less fitment factor than this.
