Breaking News, Digital Desk- ( 8th Pay Commission)  Lakhs of government employees of the country are curious about the 8th Pay Commission. They want to know how much their salary will increase and how much benefit they will get. 

Let us tell you that the salary hike will mainly depend on the fitment factor. However, no formal announcement has been made by the government yet, due to which the suspense remains among the employees.

Several reports are rife with debate over the Central Pay Commission's (CPC) fitment factor, as it is a key component in determining the new pay structure for lakhs of government employees. 

Due to rising inflation, it is being argued that the CPC may revise the fitment factor, which will help authorities decide the new pay structure.

Let us tell you that whenever the new conditions will be announced under the Eighth Pay Commission (8th pay commission latest update), it will change the salary structure of more than 50 lakh employees and 65 lakh pensioners.

The fitment factor could be 2.86!

One of the most prominent discussions under the 8th Pay Commission is that the CPC may take a fitment factor of 2.86 this time. Although there has been no official announcement, experts argue that considering the current inflation and past trends, 2.86 seems to be the most suitable fitment factor in the 8th pay commission calculation formula.

How much will your salary increase?

If the CPC decides to take the fitment factor of 2.86, it will mean a huge increase in salary. The formula for calculating the new increase based on the fitment factor is easy. The new increase is known by multiplying the basic salary of government employees with the fitment factor.

Basic Pay x Fitment Factor = New Increase

So, if the basic pay is ₹10,000 and CPC fixes 2.86 as the fitment factor, the new hike will be: 2.86X10,000= ₹28,600

Let us tell you that, under the 7th Pay Commission ending in December this year, a fitment factor of 2.57 was fixed. This time if it becomes 2.86, then it will directly increase the salary of the employees.
