A report says that in the 7th Pay Commission (2016) there was an increase of only 14%, which was the lowest in comparison to the previous Pay Commissions. But this time the government’s intention is to make the salary of employees competitive with the private sector.

What is the fitment factor?

The fitment factor plays the most important role in increasing the salary. It is a kind of multiplier, by which the new salary is decided by multiplying the basic pay. For example, in the 7th Pay Commission, the fitment factor was 2.57, due to which the minimum basic salary increased from 7,000 to 18,000. In the 8th Pay Commission, the fitment factor can be between 1.83 to 2.46. If this happens, then a substantial increase in the salary of government employees is considered certain.

Who will get the benefit?

About 44 lakh employees of the Central Government and about 68 lakh pensioners will directly benefit from this commission. Basic pay, DA i.e. dearness allowance, HRA i.e. house rent allowance, TA i.e. travel allowance and other allowances will also be reviewed under the commission.

What will be the impact on pensioners?

The number of government pensioners is more than that of employees. Their salary will also increase according to basic pay and DA, although they do not get benefits like HRA and TA. Also, a new Unified Pension Scheme has been implemented from April 2025, which guarantees at least 50% of the basic salary after retirement.

Fear of delay

Although the commission has been announced, its chairman, members and Terms of Reference (ToR) have not been decided yet. Due to this, there is a fear that the work of the commission will start late and it may take time for the report to be prepared, approved and implemented.

If this process starts late, then employees may get increased salary and arrears in 2027 instead of 2026. At the same time, the government is also trying to balance election promises, welfare schemes and fiscal deficit, which may slow down the process of salary hike. Employees have high expectations from the 8th Pay Commission. If everything happens on time, it will be a big increase in salary, pension and allowances.

According to this tradition, the 8th Pay Commission is expected to be constituted in 2025, so that its recommendations can be implemented from January 2026. However, the government has not yet made any official announcement regarding the formation of the 8th Pay Commission.

It is important to note that till now the Government of India has not made any formal announcement regarding the formation and implementation of the 8th Pay Commission. In December last year, the government had mentioned that at that time there was no plan to set up the 8th Central Pay Commission. However, now the Lok Sabha elections are over. In such a situation, there is a strong possibility that the government will move forward towards the formation of the commission. Usually after its formation, it takes about 12 to 18 months for the Pay Commission to submit its recommendations.

More than 1 crore people will benefit

When implemented, the 8th Pay Commission is expected to benefit around 49 lakh government employees and 68 lakh pensioners. Their remuneration is likely to be revised with the increase in the fitment factor. Reports suggest that the fitment factor will be set at 3.68 times the current value. Since the minimum basic pay of government employees is Rs 18,000, this hike will increase the basic pay by Rs 8,000 to Rs 26,000.

The fitment factor is important in deciding the salary and pay matrix of employees under the 8th Pay Commission. Its job will be to adjust the existing 7th CPC salary with the proposed 8th CPC pay scale.

The 7th Pay Commission introduced a fitment factor of 2.57 times. This led to an average increase of 14.29 per cent in the salary of employees. This fixed the minimum pay scale at Rs 18,000. The 8th Pay Commission is expected to help eliminate pay disparities between different employee groups and reduce the impact of inflation.

Many other benefits are also expected

Many other benefits are expected from the 8th Pay Commission. This includes revised pay scales and better retirement benefits. Apart from government employees, it will also affect military personnel and pensioners.

However, a formal announcement is yet to be made. But, there is speculation that it can be implemented in the coming months. The matter is that whenever it is implemented, the biggest change will be seen in the salary structure. Till now you must have heard that your in hand salary will be reduced in the salary structure with the coming of new labor law. Because, the basic salary will be 50%.

This will cut more money into the retirement fund. The huge amount of allowances will be reduced. Now here is the twist. Even after the new salary structure comes, your in hand salary will not decrease but will increase. Let’s understand how…

Basic salary will be 50%

First understand that the government has prepared 4 new labor codes by adding 29 labor laws. According to the provisions of the new law, the basic salary will be 50% of the total salary (CTC) in the salary that companies will pay to their employees. This means that the basic salary which used to be 30-35 percent earlier, will be increased by 15 percent directly and the reimbursement-allowance part will remain 50 percent.

What is in the current salary structure?

Suppose your monthly salary is an annual package of Rs 1.5 lakh i.e. Rs 18 lakh. In the current salary structure, the basic salary is 32% of the CTC. In this sense, in the monthly CTC of 1.50 lakh, the basic salary will be Rs 48,000. Then 50 percent i.e. Rs 24,000 HRA then 10% of basic (Rs 48,000) in NPS i.e. Rs 4,800 will go. 

If 12% of the basic salary goes to the Provident Fund (PF), then Rs 5,760 will go to the EPF every month. In this way your monthly CTC of Rs 1.50 lakh has become Rs 82,560. This means that the remaining Rs 67,440 is being given through other items. These include components like special allowance, fuel and transport, phones, newspapers and books, monthly share in annual bonus, gratuity.

Whose share in the current salary structure

How much tax is made, how much is the salary in hand and how much is retirement savings?

• Out of your total CTC, Rs 1.10 lakh will be taxed. That means 6.14 percent tax of CTC.
• Take home salary – Rs 1.14 lakh, 76.1 percent of CTC.
• Retirement savings – Rs 1.96 lakh, totaling 10.9 percent of CTC.

With the implementation of the New Wage Code, there will be a change in the salary structure of the employees. Think of it like this-

How much tax, how much salary in hand and how much will be retirement savings?

• Out of your total CTC, Rs 1.19 lakh will be taxed. That means 6.6 percent tax of CTC.
• Take home salary – Rs 1.06 lakh, 70.4 percent of CTC.
• Retirement savings- Rs 3.06 lakh, 17 per cent of the total CTC.
• In the new structure, your annual retirement savings will be Rs 3.06 (17% of CTC) as against Rs 1.96 lakh (10.9% of CTC) earlier. Meaning, your annual retirement savings will increase by Rs 1.10 lakh under the new structure.

HRA will get less tax exemption

According to the new rule, suppose the annual basic salary is Rs 9 lakh, then the HRA will be Rs 4,50,000. But, you will get tax exemption only on the exemption of Rs 2,42,400. Meaning tax will have to be paid on Rs 2,07,600. Earlier, you had to pay tax on only Rs 45,600 received under the head of HRA. There is going to be a huge increase in tax on HRA in the new salary structure. If you compare the tax on annual CTC, now you have to pay tax of 1.10 lakh (6.1% of total CTC), which will be Rs 1.19 lakh (6.6% of total CTC) in the new structure.

If the new labor code is implemented with all the four changes, then people doing private jobs under the new wage code will get many benefits. Firstly, there will be a change in their salary structure. After the implementation of the new wage code, in hand salary will be less than before.

The government has made a provision in the new rule that the basic salary of any employee should be 50 percent or more of his total salary (CTC). If your basic salary is higher, then your contribution to FIF fund will be higher than before

This provision of the government will benefit the employees at the time of retirement, when they will get a hefty amount. Along with this, the Gratuity money will also get more. This means that your future will be financially strong.

weekly off

Under the new labor code, there is a provision for four days of work and three days of leave in a week. This means that you will have to go to the office four days a week and will get three days of weekly off. However, your working hours in the office will increase. After the implementation of this rule, if you opt for a three-day weekly holiday, then you will have to work 12 hours in the office. That is, you have to work 48 hours a week. After this you will get three days weekly off.

Change in the rule of long leave

Apart from this, there will be a big change regarding long holidays. Earlier, it was necessary to work at least 240 days in a year to take long-term leave in any institution. But after the implementation of the new labor code, any employee can take long leave after working 180 days (6 months).

full and final

Regarding full and final settlement, it has been said that employees will be paid their salary within two days of leaving the job, dismissal, retrenchment and resignation from the company. At present, most of the rules are applicable on the payment and settlement of wages. However, this does not include resignation.
