Union Budget 2023: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman may announce the introduction of the 8th Pay Commission while presenting the budget on February 1, 2023. Right now the 7th Pay Commission is going on in the country.
Government employees have been demanding for a long time to bring the 8th Pay Commission. There are 4 days left for the budget to be presented. The most discussed among the government employees is whether the government will announce the introduction of the 8th Pay Commission in the budget 2023 .
Government can bring 8th pay commission in the budget
Central employees are expecting an announcement regarding the 8th Pay Commission in the budget. If the government announces this, then there will be a big increase in the salary of government employees. If this happens, the salary of government officials from the bottom level to the top level will increase.
How will the employees benefit
The salary, pay scale and allowances of the employees are fixed on the basis of pay commission. Right now the 7th Pay Commission is going on in the country and salaries are being received on the basis of that. If the government brings the 8th Pay Commission, then there will be a significant increase in the salary of the government employees. The fitment factor will also increase smoothly. Due to its increase, the increase in salary is automatically fixed.
Pay commission comes in 10 years
Pay commission for the employees is implemented after every ten years. So far this pattern has been seen in the implementation of 5th, 6th and 7th Pay Commission. The employees had earlier estimated that the 8th Pay Commission would be set up in the year 2023 and its recommendations could be implemented in 2026.
Government will make populist announcements
Being the last full budget of the Modi government, people of all sections are expecting it to be special. General elections are due in mid-2024. In such a situation, this budget is being expected to be populist. This time in the general budget, government announcements can be made for every section and salary class. Central employees are also placing their old demands in front of the Finance Minister, which they hope will be fulfilled in this budget.
