Details Of The Revised Salaries & Pensions Under The 8th Pay Commission

The 7th Pay Commission recommended an increase in the salaries and pensions of central govt employees and following that, along with an increased Dearness Allowance of 53%, the employees and pensioners are expecting an increase in their net salaries and pensions as well.

Expected Increase

Recommendations made in the 7th Pay Commission expressed that there should be an increase from 7000 p.m. to 18,000 p.m. with a fitment factor of 2.57 times basic pay. After considering all the factors like inflation, experts and professionals have estimated the fitment factor to be in the range of 2.5-2.8 which means that the salaries might increase up to Rs. 40,000 – Rs. 45,000.

These changes would be implemented through the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules of 2025.

The 8th Pay Commission is also expected to introduce revisions to the existing Dearness Allowances (DA) and House Rent Allowances (HRA) which would help in increasing the salaries of the govt employees.

What Is A Fitment Factor?

A multiplier used to calculate the revised salaries and pensions is termed the fitment factor. It is one of the most crucial components of the Pay Commissions as it helps in determining the revised salaries and pensions.

How Does A Fitment Factor Work?

As per the recommendations made in the 8th Pay Commission, a fitment factor of 2.57 or around that number should be applied for all central govt employees. According to this, the minimum salaries would increase from 7000 p.m. to 18,000 p.m.

How To Calculate Increase In Salaries Using Fitment Factor?

Individuals can calculate estimated increases in salaries based on fitment factors.

Example

If the basic salary is set at Rs. 40,000 per month and the fitment factor is set at Rs. 2.5, the salary would increase to Rs. 1 lakh per month without any Dearness Allowance as it is added up later.

Conclusion

The 8th Pay Commission is expected to have an increase in the salaries and pensions of the central govt employees which would not only help them in improving their lives but would boost their morale and job satisfaction as well.
