8th CPC Pay Projections for Central Govt Employees: Right from Group D and C to Class 1 officer ranks, central government employees belong to majorly 3 pay bands in terms of basic salary: 5200, 9300 or 15600. Apart from the basic pay, they get various allowances such as house rent allowance (HRA), travelling allowance (TA), child education allowance (CEA), etc. They also contribute to National Pension System (NPS) and Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS). But what can be their estimated revised basic pay, allowances, and total salary if the 8th Pay Commission decides on a fitment factor of 2.28? See estimates –

(Disclaimer: These are projections. Actual calculations may vary.)
1/14The current pay commission, the 7th CPC, implemented on January 1, 2016, has a fitment factor of 2.57. The 6th Pay Commission, implemented in the year 2006, had a fitment factor of 1.92.
2/14There are many speculations with 1.92 being the majoritarian view. However, fitment factors such as 2.04, 2.28, 2.57, and 2.86 may also be finalised. Some organisations have demanded a fitment factor as high as 3.86.
3/14The central government is yet to announce the pay commission chairman and members. The pay commission will form its report and submit it to Cabinet. The Cabinet may recommend some changes or may approve the report as it is. Once the report is implemented, employees will start getting revised pay. The process may take 1-1.5 years.
4/14Apart from the basic salary, allowances such as House Rent Allowance (HRA), Travelling Allowance, Child Education Allowance (CEA), etc., are also revised. The pay commission may introduce or end some allowances.
5/14We will calculate the projected revised salary for employees with- Level 2 - PB 1- (5200-20200) GP 1900, basic pay Rs 23,800 Level 3 - PB 1- (5200-20200) GP 2000, basic pay Rs 24,500 Level 4 - PB 1- (5200-20200) GP 2400, basic pay Rs 30,500 Level 5 - PB 1- (5200-20200) GP 2800, basic pay Rs 35,900 Level 7 - PB 2- (9300-34800) GP 4600, basic pay Rs 44,900 Level 8 - PB 2- (9300-34800) GP 4800, basic pay Rs 50,500 Level 10 - PB 3- (15600-39100) GP 5400, basic pay Rs 59,500 Level 12 - PB 3- (15600-39100) GP 7600, basic pay Rs 83600,800

7/14The fitment factor will be 2.28.
