8th Pay Commission: After the approval of the 8th Pay Commission by the Central Government, now more than 1 crore central employees and pensioners are eagerly waiting for its formation.
But, now the question is arising that by when will it be formed, will it come into effect from January 1, 2026 or will it be delayed. Usually the Pay Commission is formed in two to three months after getting approval from the government, but this time there is a lot of delay. If it is implemented late, what will be the effect on the fitment factor? Let us understand all these aspects in detail.
Will there be a delay in the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission?
According to a report by ET, the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission may be delayed. Usually, a new pay commission is implemented every ten years, but the 8th Pay Commission is expected to take more time. If we look at the time of implementation of the old pay commission, the 7th Pay Commission was approved by the Manmohan Singh government in the year 2014, while it was implemented on 1 January 2016. During this time, the commission submitted its report to the government, approval was taken from the cabinet and then it was implemented.
When will the new pay commission be implemented
But, the 8th Pay Commission could not be formed till the first 6 months of the year 2025, nor the Terms of Reference (ToR) have been finalized. These will form the basis for revision of salary and pension and allowances of the employees. In such a situation, there is every possibility of delay in its implementation. At the same time, some media reports have said that the 8th Pay Commission may take time till the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027.
How will the salary of the employees be decided?
Let us tell you that in the last 30 years, the pay commissions have amended their structure several times. Earlier there were more than 4000 pay scales, due to which a lot of problems were faced in salary calculation. But the 6th Pay Commission started the system of pay band and grade pay. After this, a pay matrix of 24 stages was created during the 7th Pay Commission. In this, each cell shows a different salary. At the time of the 7th Commission, 2.57 fitment factor was determined, on the basis of which there was a huge jump in the salary of employees and pension of pensioners. In such a situation, something similar is expected from the 8th Pay Commission.
How much can the fitment factor be decided?
The fitment factor means how many times the salary of the employees will increase. At the same time, the fitment factor for the new pay commission is expected to be around 3.0. If the pay commission decides the salary hike on this fitment factor, then there will be a huge increase in the salary of employees and pensioners.
