8th Pay Commission: Ever since the government has approved the 8th Pay Commission, all government employees are just looking for the answer to the question that when will they start getting this increased salary. Along with the central government, state employees will also get this increased salary…
The NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved the 8th Pay Commission. Ever since the commission was announced, two questions are arising the most in the minds of government employees. The first is when will they start getting the increased salary under the 8th Pay Commission.
The second question is how much salary will increase and come into their account. From experts to employees, everyone is trying to find answers to these two questions.
If the report related to the 8th Pay Commission is to be believed, the minimum basic salary will increase from Rs 18,000 per month to Rs 51,480 per month. If we search for the answer to the question when will it be implemented, we find that the tenure of the current 7th Pay Commission will end on January 1, 2026, which is 10 years after its implementation on January 1, 2016. Obviously, it will be implemented immediately after the expiry of this period.
The government responded to this.
Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnav, while announcing the 8th Pay Commission, had said that the establishment of the 8th Pay Commission in the year 2025 ensures that there is enough time to implement the recommendations before the term of the 7th Pay Commission ends. In this sense, the 8th Pay Commission will be implemented from January 1, 2026. This means that central government employees can start receiving their increased salary from February 2026 (which will be the salary for the month of January 2026). Along with the salary, central government pensioners can also start getting increased pension from the month of February itself.
When will state employees get the benefit
The implementation of the latest Pay Commission recommendations for state government employees in India is not automatic. State governments have the right to decide whether to adopt the Pay Commission recommendations implemented by the central government or not. Central Pay Commissions (such as the 7th Pay Commission) mainly issue recommendations for central government employees. States can decide to adopt these recommendations, but they are not bound to do so. For example, after the 7th Pay Commission, states like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu implemented the recommendations with some modifications, while other states took more time to implement it.
How much will the salary increase?
Under the 7th Pay Commission, the fitment factor was fixed at 2.57, which increased the minimum basic salary from Rs 7,000 to Rs 18,000. The fitment factor is a multiplier that is applied to the current basic pay, so that the new salary can be calculated under the revised pay matrix. For the 8th Pay Commission, it is widely expected that the fitment factor will increase to 2.86. If this happens, the minimum basic pay could increase to Rs 51,480, which is currently Rs 18,000 and will be an increase of 186 percent.
