The 8th Pay Commission is poised to bring significant changes to the salary structure of central government employees and pensioners. With discussions underway, here's a comprehensive look at the anticipated salary increases and the factors influencing them.
At the heart of the salary revision lies the fitment factor, a multiplier applied to the current basic pay to determine the new salary. Historically, this factor has seen incremental increases:
For the 8th Pay Commission, experts predict the fitment factor could range between 2.28 and 2.86, potentially leading to a 40-50% hike in basic salaries.
Based on the anticipated fitment factor, here's how salaries might adjust across various pay levels:
| Pay Level | Current Basic Pay | Expected Basic Pay | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | ₹18,000 | ₹51,480 | ₹33,480 |
| Level 2 | ₹19,900 | ₹56,914 | ₹37,014 |
| Level 3 | ₹21,700 | ₹62,062 | ₹40,362 |
| Level 4 | ₹25,500 | ₹72,930 | ₹47,430 |
| Level 5 | ₹29,200 | ₹83,512 | ₹54,312 |
| Level 6 | ₹35,400 | ₹1,01,244 | ₹65,844 |
| Level 7 | ₹44,900 | ₹1,28,414 | ₹83,514 |
| Level 8 | ₹47,600 | ₹1,36,136 | ₹88,536 |
| Level 9 | ₹53,100 | ₹1,51,866 | ₹98,766 |
| Level 10 | ₹56,100 | ₹1,60,446 | ₹1,04,346 |
Pensioners stand to benefit proportionally from the revised pay structure. For instance, a pensioner currently receiving ₹9,000 might see an increase to ₹25,740, assuming a fitment factor of 2.86.
Additionally, allowances such as Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and Travel Allowance (TA) are expected to be recalibrated in line with the new basic pay, further enhancing the overall compensation package.

While the 8th Pay Commission is anticipated to be constituted by 2026, with recommendations expected thereafter, the exact implementation date remains to be officially announced.
