The 7th Pay Commission was implemented in 2016 during the Narendra Modi government’s tenure. After this decision, the salaries of government employees will increase considerably. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said that the government had approved the 8th Pay Commission to revise the salaries of central employees. Once again, a substantial jump can be seen in the employees’ essential salaries: 8.67 lakh central government employees will benefit from forming the 8th Pay Commission.
At the same time, 67.95 lakh pensioners will also benefit from it. According to the information, this commission can be implemented in 2026 because the tenure of the 7th Pay Commission will continue till 3 December 31, 2025. So let us know how much of an increase will be seen in the salaries and pensions of the employees after the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission.

If the fitment factor is also increased, it can be increased from 2.57 to 2.86, increasing the employees’ basic salary.

Now, after the formation of the 8th Pay Commission, if the government keeps the salary revision on the old scale, then the fitment factor will also be considered as the basis for this.
