What is Fitment Factor?

According to the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, at present the fitment factor is 2.57. The basic salary of central employees is calculated by multiplying the fitment factor of 7th Pay Commission latest update by 2.57. After the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission, the basic pay was made by adding Grade Pay to the Pay Band of the 6th Pay Commission. In this, the salary of the current entry level was calculated by multiplying the fitment factor by 2.57, from which the salary was prepared according to the pay band of the employees.

For example-

6th CPC Pay Band: PB 1
Grade Pay: Rs 1800
Current Entry Pay: Rs 7000
Entry Pay after applying fitment factor under 7th Pay Commission: 7000 x 2.57 = Rs 18,000.

What if the fitment factor is 3 times?

6th CPC Pay Band: PB 1
Grade Pay: Rs 1800
Current Entry Pay: Rs 7000
Entry Pay after applying fitment factor under 7th Pay Commission: Rs 7000 x 3 = Rs 21,000.

How much will there be a jump in salary?

Central employees are getting 2.57 fitment factor in the current system. Based on this, the minimum salary (Fitment factor Basic Salary) is Rs.18000. If it is increased to 3 then the basic salary will be Rs.21000. On the other hand, if it can be increased to 3.68, then the salary will be Rs 25,760. The demand of the employees is that their fitment factor should be increased to 3.68. The minimum salary should be kept at Rs 26000.
