8th Pay Commission: In India, the Pay Commission has been formed to improve the economic condition of employees and pensioners. Under this process, apart from increase in salary and pension, the impact of inflation is also taken into account. The objective of the Pay Commission is to maintain the purchasing power of the employees and provide them relief from inflation. As of now, the Government of India has not announced any official date for the 8th Pay Commission.
Experts believe that this may be possible as early as 2026, but it is only a possibility. The employees will have to wait till the official announcement of the government. The salary and pension amount of employees are decided on the basis of fitment factor. The fitment factor was kept at 2.57 in the 7th Pay Commission and it is expected to be increased to 1.92 in the 8th Pay Commission. This will definitely increase the salaries of the employees, thereby improving their lifestyle.
If the 8th Pay Commission is implemented, then the minimum salary of the employees will see a considerable increase. For example, if the current minimum pay is Rs 18,000 per month, under the new pay commission it can go up to Rs 34,560. Thus, this increment will go a long way in raising the standard of living of the employees. The main objective of the Pay Commission is to improve the economic life of employees and pensioners. This not only increases their salary but also secures and stable their financial future. Through the Pay Commission, the government ensures that employees can meet their needs even in times of inflation.
