Central employees and pensioners are eagerly waiting for the eighth pay commission to be implemented. According to reports, the government can constitute the Eighth Pay Commission in the month of April 2025, that is, it can be formed this month. Also, the recommendations of the Pay Commission may apply in next year i.e. 2026 or 27. But, if it is applicable, then the monthly salary of central employees and pension of pensioners can increase from about fourteen thousand to nineteen thousand rupees.
At present, the average monthly salary of central employees is about one lakh and it will increase by about 14 to 19 percent when the new Pay Commission is implemented. That is, if the government will keep a budget of 1.75 lakh crores, then the salary of these central workers will increase by about 14 thousand 600 rupees.
Whereas, if a budget of 2 lakh crore is kept by the government, then there can be an increase of about 16 thousand 600 rupees in their salary. It is worth noting that the eighth pay commission will directly benefit more than 50 lakh central employees and more than 65 lakh pensioners. Last time i.e. in the Seventh Pay Commission, Rs 1.02 crore was spent by the government.
However, a fitment factor is an important formula in increasing money from the Pay Commission. At the time of the Seventh Pay Commission, this fitment was 2.57 and the minimum salary was increased from seven thousand to eighteen thousand. But this time too, if this formula is imposed, then the minimum salary of central employees will increase from 46 thousand 260 and pension from 9 thousand rupees to 23 thousand 130 rupees. In such a situation, how much the salary of the central employees will increase will depend on the recommendations of the Eighth Pay Commission and the government’s budget.
