New Delhi: Ever since the formation of the Eighth Pay Commission has been approved by the Central Government, there has been a wave of happiness among the government employees. Millions of employees hope that after the implementation of the Eighth Pay Commission, there will be a significant increase in their salary.

Along with this, we will also tell you how much the salary of employees will increase after the implementation of the Eighth Pay Commission.
Which employees will not affect the eighth pay commission?
The seventh pay commission is currently in force in the country. This Pay Commission was formed in 2014 and was implemented from 2016. A new pay commission is usually implemented every 10 years in India, the first Pay Commission in the country was set up in the year 1946. Now let us tell you which government employees will not come under the eighth pay commission.
Indeed, employees who are public sector undertakings (PSUs) or employees of an autonomous body or High Courts and Supreme Court are outside the purview of the Pay Commission. That is, the Pay Commission does not apply to these people. The rules of their salary and allowance are different. This is the reason that the 8th Pay Commission will not be applicable to these people.
How much will the salary increase in the 8th Pay Commission?
In the Eighth Pay Commission, the salary increase will be based on the fitment factor and allowances. According to reports, the fitment factor in the Eighth Pay Commission may be between 1.92 and 2.86. This means that the basic salary of employees will increase from Rs 18,000 to Rs 51,000. But it has not yet been decided what will be the fitment factor in the Eighth Pay Commission.
What is fitment factor?
The fitment factor is a multiplier used to modify the salary and pension of government employees. It is applied to the current basic salary and the new salary is calculated based on it.
Understand this like this: Fitment Factor has a direct impact on the basic salary of the employees. For example, if an employee’s basic salary is Rs. If a person’s salary is Rs 15,500 and the fitment factor is 2.57, then his total salary is Rs. 15,500 × 2.57 = Rs. This will be 39,835.
