Like every time, this time too, when the new pay commission will be implemented, there will be a significant increase in the salary of government employees and the pension of pensioners. 

According to the information that has come out so far, let us know - how much salary and pension can increase with the 8th Pay Commission and when it can be implemented.

Preparation for 8th pay commission started

The process of the 8th Pay Commission is now moving forward slowly. Experts say that the government can soon form this commission. 

After this, its rules and conditions will be decided and then work on the recommendations will begin. After the formation of the commission, it may take about a year to prepare its recommendations. After this, the government will implement them.

When can the new pay commission be implemented?

According to media reports, discussions on the 8th Pay Commission have started. Usually, the commission takes 1.5 to 2 years to prepare its report. It is believed that the new pay commission can be implemented by June-July 2026. If there is a delay, it can also be delayed till January 2027. In such a situation, employees can get salary hike along with arrears.

What are the employees' organizations demanding?

Some employee organizations say that the government wants to spend less on increasing salaries so that there is not much burden on the treasury. But the employees demand that in view of inflation, 2.86 fitment factor should be implemented this time, so that there can be a good increase in salary.

Fitment factor plays a big role in increasing salary

In the new pay commission, the fitment factor is very important for increasing the salary. In the 7th pay commission, this factor was 2.57, due to which the minimum basic salary of the employees increased by about 11 thousand rupees.

Now the fitment factor in the 8th Pay Commission is expected to be 2.86. If this happens, the minimum salary of employees can be more than Rs 51 thousand per month. However, some experts believe that this time the government can implement a fitment factor of only 1.92.
