There will be a change in the salary structure -
There is great news for government employees, as recently the formation of the 8th Pay Commission (8th CPC update) has been announced. This announcement was made before Budget 2025, due to which there is an atmosphere of happiness among the employees. Now all eyes are on how much the salary will increase with the implementation of this new pay commission (salary hike in 8th CPC) and how the salary structure will be decided.

This time the entire salary structure can be changed, due to which the salary of the employees can increase significantly.
Fitment factor will play the biggest role -
This time also the salary hike will be done based on the fitment factor. This time the fitment factor can be 2.86 percent, which is more than 2.57 percent of the 7th Pay Commission. The Joint Council of Master Staff has suggested that a uniform fitment factor (Fitment factor for 8th CPC) should be implemented for all levels (1 to 6). According to the 7th Pay Commission, the fitment factor was different for different levels. For example, it was 2.57 percent for level 1, 2.63 percent for level 2, 2.67 percent for level 3, 2.72 percent for level 4, and 2.81 percent for higher level. Now, in the new proposal, it can be increased to 2.86 percent. This is also the demand made by the employee organizations to the government.
Salary can increase by this much -
Recently, under a new proposal, there is a possibility of an increase in the minimum salary for government employees.

According to these standards, a big change of double to almost three times increase can be seen in the salary received by the employees.
Levels 1 to 6 can be merged-
Under the new pay commission, a big change has been proposed for government employees for salary increase, under which there is a plan to combine different categories from 1 to 6 together. This change will simplify the salary structure and employees will get salaries at a uniform level. The National Joint Consultative Mechanism and senior officials have recommended merging the first category employees such as merging Level 2, Level 3 with Level 4, and Level 5 with Level 6, which can make the new system even more effective for the employees. This step is being taken to make the salary and other benefits of the employees better and transparent.
DA amount may come in March -

Especially for the lower level employees, the salary increase (Salary increase in 8th CPC) will directly affect their lifestyle.
