Fitment factor of 8th Pay Commission

The most important thing about the Pay Commission is the “Fitment Factor”. This is a formula by which the new basic salary of government employees is decided. Simply put, new basic salary = old basic salary × fitment factor. In the 7th Pay Commission, this factor was 2.57, that is, if your basic salary was 10,000, then according to the new commission it became 25,700.

Now there is a discussion that this factor can increase to 2.86 in the 8th Pay Commission. If this happens, then an employee’s current basic salary of Rs 20,000 can increase to Rs 57,200. That is, a direct benefit of more than Rs 37,000.

Whose salary will increase by how much

The effect of this change will be clearly visible on the pockets of the employees. Below are some estimated figures which show what effect the change in the fitment factor can have on different basic salaries. For example, if your old salary was 30,000, then in the 7th Pay Commission it became 77,100, but in the 8th Pay Commission the same salary can go up to 85,800. At the same time, some employee organizations are demanding that the fitment factor be increased to 3.68, due to which the old salary of 30,000 can reach 1,10,400.
