8th Pay Commission: Hello friends, you should be well aware that the formation of the Eighth Pay Commission has been approved in January 2025. After this, government employees have got very good news. After the announcement, there are about lakhs of central employees of the country who are expecting a salary hike. You all should know that a new salary is implemented in about 10 years.
And this tradition has been going on for the last several years. Currently, the Seventh Pay Commission has been implemented which will be in effect from the year 2025. After this, with the Eighth Pay Commission, central employees have a lot of hope to improve their financial condition.
Background of Seventh Pay Commission
Friends, the Seventh Pay Commission was formed in the year 2025 and was implemented in 2016. Through this pay commission, the salary of central employees was increased and many allowances were also changed. Under the Seventh Pay Commission, the minimum salary was increased from ₹ 7000 to Rs 18000.
Similarly, there was a significant increase in dearness allowance and other allowances. Now the employees will get very good results from the 8th Pay Commission but you should know that not every government employee will be given its benefit.
Employees outside the purview of Pay Commission
The benefit of the Eighth Pay Commission will not be given to all government employees. Some special categories of employees have been kept out of the directive of the commission and they will not get its benefit. Employees working in public sector undertakings do not belong to it.
Also, employees working in various autonomous institutions are not covered under this. Judges of the High Court and Supreme Court do not come under the purview of the same Pay Commission because the system for their salaries and allowances is different.
Fitment Factor Approximate
In the Eighth Pay Commission, the fitment factor is going to be an important factor through which the salary hike will be determined. According to the report, it is being learnt that the fitment factor is likely to be between 1.92-2.86 this time. It is completely proved that,
So the minimum basic salary of central government employees which is Rs 18000 will increase to Rs 51000. But this has not been officially announced, it is only possible. This can be decided only after the recommendation of the Pay Commission and the approval of the government.
