Salary may increase in the Eighth Pay Commission.
The working class is eagerly awaiting the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission. The ongoing meetings are raising the expectations of both the working class and pensioners. Meanwhile, discussions are also underway regarding the fitment factor. Employees hope that once the fitment factor is finalized, their minimum salary could rise to 70,000 rupees.
Central government employees are also currently focused on the fitment factor. Although no final decision has been made on this issue, a significant salary increase is likely based on the estimates and demands of various employee organizations.
Could the basic salary be up to 70,000?
The fitment factor is the multiplier used to multiply the current basic salary to arrive at a new basic salary. For example, if an employee's basic salary is 18,000 rupees and the fitment factor is 2.10, the new basic salary would be approximately 37,800 rupees. Meanwhile, if the fitment factor is 3.83, the same basic salary could increase to approximately 68,940 rupees.
What is the salary based on different fitment factors?
The minimum basic salary for a Level 1 employee under the 7th Pay Commission is ₹18,000. Based on this, the new basic salary based on different fitment factors could be as follows:
| Fitment Factor | Possible new basic salary |
| 1.83 | Rs 32,940 |
| 2.00 | Rs 36,000 |
| 2.57 | Rs 46,260 |
| 3.83 | Rs 68,940 |
This means that with the fitment factor of 3.83 applied, a basic salary of ₹18,000 could reach approximately ₹68,940, which would be considered ₹70,000 in rounded figures.
Demand for a 3.83 fitment factor:
Although the fitment factor has not yet been finalized, it is important to understand that the salary of ₹68,940 has not yet been finalized. Employee organizations have currently demanded a 3.83 fitment factor. These figures and salaries are being calculated based on this estimate. The 8th Pay Commission has not yet made a final announcement regarding the fitment factor. The new salary will be determined only after the Commission's recommendations are approved by the Central Government.
