The Pay Commission is constituted to review and improve the salary structure of government employees.

The recommendations of the last Seventh Pay Commission were implemented from january 1, 2016. Now the recommendations of the Eighth Pay Commission are expected to be implemented from 2026.
It is not yet clear how much the salary of the employees will increase under the 8th Pay Commission. But according to reports, the fitment factor is expected to be increased from 2.57 to 2.86. Let us tell you, the fitment factor is an important number which is used to convert the existing salary to the new pay scale. Let us now understand how you will be able to know from the fitment factor how much your current salary will increase under the 8th Pay Commission.
Understand it like this, if the current basic pay of an employee is Rs 40,000 and the fitment factor becomes 2.86, then his new basic pay will be - 40,000 × 2.86 = Rs 114,400. If the fitment factor does not change and remains 2.57, then it will be - 40,000 × 2.57 = Rs 102,800. Now no matter how much your basic salary is, 40, 50, 60, 70 thousand, you can use this formula to find out how much your salary will increase after the 8th Pay Commission.
