Central employees are eagerly waiting for the implementation of the Eighth Pay Commission. Every ten years, the Pay Commission is constituted by the Central Government to revise the salary of central employees and pensioners. Earlier this year, the Union cabinet had approved the formation of the Eighth Central Pay Commission. It is expected that it will be implemented in 2027.
After this, there is going to be a tremendous change in the salary structure of central employees across the country. However, the members of the Pay Commission, Chairman and the Terms and Reference of the new Pay Commission have not been announced yet. But it is believed that this time there is going to be a tremendous increase in the salary of central employees.
How will the salary be decided?
The Pay Commission is constituted by the central government for a specific time, which decides the salary structure of central employees. It not only affects the basic pay and other allowances but also benefits pensioners. The Eighth Pay Commission will replace the Seventh Pay Commission, which was implemented in 2016.
The main recommendation of the Central Pay Commission is the Pay Matrix. This is the system that decides the salary on the basis of levels and service time. It is believed that this time the Central Pay Commission can increase the fitment factor from 2.57 to 2.86.
How much will the salary increase?
For example, if the current salary of an employee at pay level-1 is Rs 18000, then his salary can increase to Rs 51,480 after the implementation of the Eighth Pay Commission. The salary of level two staff can increase from Rs 19,900 to Rs 56,914, the salary of level 3 can increase by Rs 21,700 to Rs 62,062.
Similarly, the salary of level 6 can increase by Rs 35400 and can go above Rs 1 lakh. At the same time, the salary of level 10 officers, which includes IAS and IPS, can increase from Rs 56,100 to Rs 1.6 lakh.
