Ever since the formation of the 8th CPC Update has been announced in January this year, there is a lot of discussion among government employees. Everyone wants to know what changes will happen in the new commission, especially about salary and allowances.
There are reports that this time scissors can run on many allowances, that is, they can be completely eliminated. However, the good news is that there can be a strong enlargement of up to ₹ 26,000 every month in the Salary in 8th CPC of employees. However, how much will the cut in allowances have a total impact on salary? Let’s understand.
How much will the expectation of increase in salary?
It is believed that the ‘Fitment Factor in 8th CPC) will be used to increase salary in the 8th Pay Commission, and it can be 2.86 times. If this happens, then only the basic salary of the employees can see an increase of about ₹ 26,000!
Also, there is also a discussion that Dearness Allowance – DA, which has crossed the 50% mark, can be merged into the basic salary. Recall that the Fitment Factor in the 7th Pay Commission (7th CPC) was 2.57, leading to the minimum basic salary ₹ 18,000 (Basic Salary Hike) and a maximum of ₹ 2,25,000 months.
What is special for pensioners?
The good news is that not only the current employees, but also pensioners will get the benefit of the 8th Pay Commission. It is expected that some new rules can be made regarding the old pension scheme (OPS). Also, there may be a change in the way pension counting, which can see the pension hike.
Which allowances can scissors run?
Looking at the previous pay commissions, it is clear that many allowances are abolished from time to time or they are merged into another big allowance. The same happened in the 7th Pay Commission (7th Pay Commission) – only 95 out of 196 allowances were continued, the remaining 101 allowances were either abolished or became part of other allowances. This time there is every possibility of the same in the 8th Pay Commission.
Some of the deleted/merged allowances in the previous commission were as follows:
| allowance | What step |
| Accident allowance | Removed |
| Air dispatch pay allowance | signed off |
| Coal pilot allowance | Finished |
| Family planning allowance | signed off |
| Overtime allowance | signed off |
| Cycle allowance | signed off |
| Clogging allowance | Added to dress allowance |
| Special scientific pay | Terminated |
This time which allowances will be removed or connected, it will be clear only after the recommendations of the Commission.
How long will the 8th Pay Commission be implemented?
All central employees are eagerly waiting for the 8th Pay Commission to be implemented. It is expected that after completion of all the procedures, it can be implemented from next year, ie January 1, 2026 (Nya Vetan Aayog Implementation Date).
If it is delayed due to any reason, the employees are very likely to get arrears of increased salary. However, some experts also believe that it may draw up to 2027. At present, no confirmed date has been mentioned by the government.
