The fitment factor plays the most important role in deciding the basic salary of central employees. In the 7th Pay Commission, it was 2.57, due to which the minimum salary increased from ₹ 7,000 to ₹ 18,000. Now there are different estimates regarding the fitment factor in the 8th Pay Commission – 1.92, 2.08 and 2.86. This will decide what will be the new salary of the employees. In the 8th Pay Commission, there is a possibility of keeping the fitment factor around 1.90 or 1.92 on the lines of the old pay commissions. The fitment factor of the 8th Pay Commission is not yet decided, so the calculation in the calculator has been done on the possible fitment factor (calculation on 1.92).

Now let us understand the calculation
According to the calculator, we have also done the calculation on the lowest grade in the 8th Pay Commission. Level-1 grade pay is 1800, the basic pay in this grade is Rs 18000. After this, the fitment factor in it is considered to be 1.92. HRA has been taken as per the Y category. There is also a possibility of revision in this. Therefore, it has been kept at 16%. Travel allowance (TA) has been calculated according to the higher TPTA city.
If you see, the total gross salary is Rs 41440. But, this will not be the final salary. Because, government employees will also have to give NPS contribution and CGHS contribution. After salary revision, the contribution to NPS will be Rs 3456 and Rs 250 will go to CGHS. In this sense, the net salary on one grade pay will be Rs 37734. In this, dearness allowance i.e. DA has been kept zero. Because, it will be made zero when the new pay commission is implemented.
Will DA become zero?
In every new pay commission, the Dearness Allowance (DA) is reset at the beginning. Currently, the DA in the 7th Pay Commission is 55%. After this, there may be an increase of 2% in July. But, in the 8th Pay Commission, it will be reset from zero and then increased at regular intervals.
