The government may soon take a big decision on the fitment factor of central employees. If the government announces to increase the fitment factor, then it will directly benefit more than 52 lakh employees of the center and their minimum basic salary will increase.
With this, the salary of central employees will increase by two and a half times. According to the information received from the sources, the fitment factor can be increased from 2.57 percent to 3.68 percent. It is expected that it can be implemented from 1st September 2022.
This will increase the basic pay by Rs 8,000. It will increase from Rs 18,000 to Rs 26,000. With its implementation, the minimum pay level matrix of central employees will start from Rs 1,26,000. However, there has been no confirmation from the government yet.
Let us tell you that under the 7th Pay Commission, the salary of central employees is decided on the basis of the fitment factor.
At present, the fitment factor of the employees is at the rate of 2.57 times. On this basis, the minimum basic pay is Rs 18000 and the maximum basic pay is Rs 56900.
It is worth noting that the last time the fitment factor was increased was in the year 2016. The 7th Pay Commission was also implemented in the same year. At that time the minimum salary of the employees had gone straight from Rs 6000 to Rs 18,000.
While the highest level was raised from Rs 90,000 to Rs 2.5 lakh. Now the government can increase the salary of central employees again this year.
