Employees and pensioners will get gifts in the new year, 186% increase in salary possible, will pension also increase? : Before the new year 2025, there is a lot of discussion about the 8th Pay Commission! Since a new pay commission is formed every ten years! The 7th Pay Commission was formed in February 2014! But its recommendations were implemented from 1 January 2016! Which will end on 31 December 2025!

According to this, the 8th Pay Commission will have to be implemented in January 2026! In such a situation, it is being speculated that the central government can take a decision regarding the new pay commission in the budget 2025-26! If media reports are to be believed, if the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission are implemented, then the basic salary of government employees will increase by 186 percent i.e. up to 51,480!

A big increase will also be seen in the pension of pensioners! In the new pay commission, the salary and pension of government employees are revised according to different economic parameters, especially inflation! So let's know about this in detail….

Employees Pensioners - Minimum salary on increase of fitment factor in new pay commission

Currently, under the 7th Pay Commission, the fitment factor of central employees is 2.57! And the basic salary is 18,000! For a long time, the employees of the Center have been demanding to increase the fitment factor! It is believed that in the new pay commission, the Modi government can increase the fitment factor from 2.57 to 2.86%!

With this, the minimum salary of government employees will increase by 186 percent to Rs 51,480! And pension is also expected to increase by 186 percent! The current pension will increase from Rs 9,000 to Rs 25,740! This calculation will be correct only when the currently expected fitment factor of 2.86 is applied! That is, if the fitment factor changes!
