If both are approved, then the salary of central employees can be increased tremendously up to 44 percent. Central employees are currently getting pay and allowances as per the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, which was implemented almost 9 years ago in the year 2014. At the same time, now the central employees are demanding the formation of the 8th Pay Commission.

Employees have also demonstrated in Telangana regarding this. However, the Central Government has no clear stand on the 8th Pay Commission yet. However, there is a possibility that after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Central Government may constitute the 8th Pay Commission and it can be implemented by 2025-26.

Salary structure will change due to increase in fitment factor If the central government will implement the 8th pay commission, then there will be an increase in the fitment factor. The fitment factor plays a very important role in the salary received by central employees. Apart from the allowances of these employees, their basic salary is fixed on the basis of fitment factor.

After the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission in 2014, the fitment factor was changed from the year 2016. Since then 2.57 per cent fitment factor is applicable. Central employees are demanding to increase the fitment factor. The employees want the government to increase the fitment factor to 3.68 per cent.

There will be a 44 percent increase in the salary of central employees.

If the 8th Pay Commission is implemented or the percentage of fitment factor is increased, then how much salary of central employees will increase, let us understand it with an example. At present, central employees are getting 2.57 percent fitment factor, according to which the minimum basic salary of central employees is Rs 18,000. If the fitment factor is made 3.68 per cent, then the minimum basic pay will increase by more than 44 per cent ie Rs 8,000 directly to Rs 26,000.

In this the fitment factor can be changed. Due to its change, there can be a big jump in the salary of the employees. For a long time there has been a demand of central employees that their fitment factor should be revised. According to sources, next year the government may increase the fitment factor by reviewing it. The current fitment factor is 2.57 times.

How much can the fitment factor increase

There are two sides to the increase in fitment factor. The first fitment factor should be increased from 2.57 times to 3. This will increase the basic salary of the employees by about Rs 3000. On the other hand, the fitment factor should be increased to 3.68 times according to the recommendations of the 7th pay commission. Due to this, there will be a difference of about 8000 rupees in the salary of the employees. Actually, its calculation varies according to the pay band.

7th Pay Commission Fitment Factor 2.57

After the pay commission, the formula of fitment factor was adopted to decide the basic salary of the employees. As per the recommendation of the 6th Pay Commission, the fitment ratio was 1.86. But, with the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission, a common fitment benefit of 2.57 was implemented across all pay bands of central government employees. This was recommended by the Pay Commission itself.

How is fitment factor calculated in 7th CPC?

Assuming Basic Pay as on 31.12.2022 (100%)= 1.00
Dearness Allowance as on 31.12.2022 (125%)= 1.25
Total (Basic Salary+DA)= 2.25
7th CPC recommended increase of 14.29% on total sum (Basic Pay +DA) = 0.32
Fitment factor= 2.57

How is the basic salary determined by the fitment factor?

What will be the basic salary after increasing the fitment factor?

Salary will increase by Rs 12604

Salary will be revised for all pay bands on change of fitment factor. The difference in basic salary will be clearly visible. In both the tables given above, we have shown by calculation that how and how much difference will there be in the salary. The fitment factor in the first table is 2.57. At the same time, in the second table, 3.68 has been placed with an expected increase. If we look at Grade Pay 2800, then there will be a difference of Rs 12,604 in the total salary after changing the fitment. Means his salary will be Rs 41,804.
