8th Pay Commission: Before the presentation of the budget on February 1, 2025, the government has approved the Eighth Pay Commission. A committee will be formed soon for this. This was being demanded by the organizations of central employees for a long time. Just a few days ago, a meeting of central trade unions was held with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. In this, ten central trade unions along with the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh had demanded the Finance Minister to implement the 8th Pay Commission soon.
These are the expectations regarding the 8th Pay Commission
People have many expectations regarding the 8th Pay Commission. The Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh demanded immediate start of salary negotiations in public sector undertakings (PSUs) and increasing the exemption for income tax to Rs 10 lakh. Apart from the formation of the 8th Pay Commission, the demands of the labour organisations included increasing the minimum pension under EPFO five times and collecting more tax from super rich people. Along with this, the demand was also made to restore the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) for government employees.
Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers General Secretary SB Yadav also wrote a letter to PM Modi demanding the formation of the Eighth Pay Commission. He said that the salary of central employees was last revised on 1 January 2016. After this, inflation has increased. In such a situation, there should be an increase in salary and pension for the better life of employees and pensioners.
This demand was also placed before the Finance Minister
National General Secretary of Trade Union Co-ordination Centre (TUCC) SP Tiwari demanded a ban on the initiative of privatisation of government companies and also demanded that minimum wages be fixed for workers working in the agricultural sector.
Salary can increase by this much
An increase in the fitment factor is expected. The employee unions are advocating a fitment factor of at least 2.86 as against the current 2.57 of the 7th Pay Commission. If this is approved, then the salary of central government employees can increase by up to 186 percent. Let us tell you that in the 7th Pay Commission, the minimum salary of central employees was increased from Rs 7000 to Rs 18 thousand.
