8th Pay Commission: New calculation of Fitment-DA for employees, there will be profit up to level 6, know the update

8th Pay Commission: Lakhs of central government employees are waiting with bated breath – when will the 8th Pay Commission come? And the biggest question is, how much will the salary increase? So listen, this can be implemented by 2026 and this time employees from level-1 to level-6 are going to hit the jackpot. From fitment factor to allowances, everything is going to change. Come, let’s take a look at what big changes can make your salary slip even better.

The 8th Pay Commission will be announced in 2026

Although it is not a confirmed news, but if sources and experts are to be believed, the 8th Pay Commission (8CPC) can be implemented from 1 January 2026. The government can start working on its recommendations in 2025 itself. Just wait a little more.

Is the salary hike up to 18-24% confirmed?

In the 7th Pay Commission, the salary was increased by 14.27%. But this time it is expected that in the 8th Pay Commission this increase can be from 18% to 24%. The fitment factor will play the biggest role in this.

New Mathematics of Fitment Factor!

In the 7th commission, the fitment factor was 2.57, which made the minimum salary ₹18,000. In the 8th commission, it can be 1.90, 2.08 or 2.86. However, the most discussed is the 1.90 fitment factor. If this happens, there will be a huge increase in the basic salary.

Minimum salary ₹18,000 directly to ₹34,200?

If the fitment factor is fixed at 1.90 (as is being discussed), then the minimum basic salary of government employees can increase from ₹18,000 to ₹34,200 directly. Just imagine how much difference it will make at other levels.

DA, HRA, TA will all increase

Not just the basic salary, dearness allowance (DA), transport allowance (TA) and house rent allowance (HRA) are also expected to see a big jump. DA will again start from 0% and will increase every 6 months.

Pension will also increase handsomely

Right now the minimum pension is ₹9,000. After the 8th Pay Commission is implemented, it can reach ₹15,000 to ₹20,000. And the maximum pension can go up to ₹1.25 lakh!

Apart from salary and pension, there are other benefits too

Basic pay will increase to fight inflation. All allowances will increase. Pensioners will get better revised pension. There will also be improvement in gratuity and PF contribution received on retirement. Meaning benefits from all sides.

Difference in salary of central and state employees?

Central government employees get salary as per Pay Matrix. State governments can make different rules for their employees or can take some time to implement 8CPC.

Those working in Level 1 to 6 are in a good position

Employees who fall in the pay matrix from level 1 to level 6 are expected to get the most benefit. However, the salary of high level officials will also increase significantly, but the fitment factor may be different for them.

Private sector will also see a boom

When the salaries of government employees increase, there is pressure to increase salaries in the private sector as well. Good companies may have to increase salaries to retain their talented people.

Recommendations by the end of 2025

The government has given the green signal to the formation of the 8th Pay Commission. The new commission can start work from May. It is believed that the recommendations will come by the end of 2025 and preparations for implementing it will begin from 2026.

DA meter again at 0%!

This is the rule. After the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission, all the existing DA will be merged in the basic (or adjusted in fitment) and Dearness Allowance (DA) will again start from 0%. After this, it will be increased every 6 months.

Retirement benefits will also increase

There will also be an increase in the gratuity that employees get on retirement and their EPF contribution. This will further strengthen their financial security.

The craze for government jobs will increase further

Due to increased salary, better allowances and strong retirement pension, government jobs will become even more attractive and profitable. So if you are preparing, then put in more effort. This will also have a positive effect on the economy, because when people have money in their hands, demand will increase.
