When the 8th Pay Commission is implemented, the salary of central government employees will be based on a special fitment factor. 

To give you an example, suppose a fitment factor of 2.57 was applied for salary revision under the 7th Pay Commission. But according to media reports, the government can also settle for a factor of 1.92 under the 8th Pay Commission. But it is also true that the government can select a fitment factor of at least 2.86.

How much will the salary increase-

If the Eighth Pay Commission increases the fitment factor to 3 or more, the salary of government employees can increase significantly. 

When this is implemented, the salary of employees can increase by ₹ 19,000 every month, which will make the minimum salary ₹ 51,480. Also, the pension can also increase to ₹ 25,740.
