Salary revision in pay commission
A pay commission is formed for a 10-year period. The primary objective of a pay commission is to revise basic pays and pensions of central government employees.
Other things revised in pay commission
Basic salaries and pensions are not the only things revised in a pay commission. House rent allowance, travel allowance, child education allowance are the key allowances that are revised in a pay commission.
But there may be many other allowance that be included, excluded, merged, or abolished in a pay commission.
How salaries are revised in pay commission
It is decided on the basis of a fitment factor. The fitment factor is the multiplier to revise basic pay and pension. It my be different for different pay commission.
Fitment factor for 7th Pay Commission
For the 7th Pay Commission, it was kept at 2.57. It means basic pays central government employees were getting in the 6th Pay Commission were multiplied by 2.57.
Based on that, the minimum basic pay was increased from Rs 7,000 to Rs 18,000. Similarly, the maximum basic was increased from Rs 90,000 to Rs 2,50,000.
Can we expect similar hike for 8th Pay Commission?
Based on current situations, it may not be 2.57 as it is calculated on the basic of dearness allowance and the expected salary rise recommended by a pay commission. The DA calculation for the fitment factor will be taken as on January 1, 2026.
If the DA rate at that time is 61 per cent and the expected pay rise is 25 per cent, the fitment factor will be 2.01.
Who will decide fitment factor for 8th Pay Commission?
The fitment factor is decided on the basis of pay commission recommendations. But if the central government wants, they can change it as happened in the 6th Pay Commission when the government increased it to 1.92.
