The Central Government approved this Pay Commission on 16 January 2025, which will review the salaries and benefits of millions of government employees and pensioners across the country.
Demand to implement old pension scheme
Employees representatives have demanded the re -implementation of the old pension scheme for government employees starting after 2004. This demand has long been a major concern of employees.
Apart from this, a proposal has also been made to implement cashless medical facility for employees and pensioners, which will make access to health services easier and reduce administrative problems.
Demand for child education allowance
The representatives have demanded a child education allowance for the education of children of employees. Along with this, a proposal has also been made to increase hostel subsidy to post graduate level, so that employees can get financial relief in view of the increasing cost of higher education. These steps will be helpful for government employees in handling their children’s education expenses.
Revision of salary, pension and allowance (allowances) will benefit more than 50 lakh central government employees and about 65 lakh pensioners, including defense personnel.
The basic salary of employees can be ₹ 51,000
It is expected that after the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission, the basic salary of Central Employees of Level-1 can increase from Rs 18,000 to Rs 51,000. The Commission may apply fitment factor up to 2.86. For this reason, this will increase in salary.
Similarly, the salary of employees of other levels will also increase on the basis of fitment factor. The government was suggested that the level of employees should also be merged. That is, 6 levels should be merged to 3.
Proposal to merge the level
Advocates, who proposed by the staff, suggested to the government that Level 1 should be merged with Level 2, Level 3 with Level 4 and Level 5 with Level 6. These advocates suggest to increase salary of employees with lower pay scale and increase career growth opportunities.
Currently the monthly basic salary of Level-1 employee is Rs 18,000. At the same time, Level-2 employee gets Rs 19,900. After the merger, Level-1 employee can get more benefit, as the new salary structure will start from this level.
Revised basic pay can be 18,000 to 51,000 rupees
The 8th Pay Commission is expected to implement the fitment factor up to 2.86. This is estimated to increase the revised basic pay of Rs 18,000 to 51,000.
The Actual Fitment Factor will be announced after officially releasing its recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission.
The Commission will validate all these recommendations keeping in mind the current salary structure and financial limiting. This commission will also pay attention to big issues like fitment factor and minimum veg standards. Millions of government employees and people receiving pension hope that changes will be made only keeping in mind the economy and inflation of today.
