After the announcement of the 8th Pay Commission by the Central Government, curiosity has increased among government employees and pensioners. Under this, a big increase is expected not only in salary but also in pension…
8th Pay Commission: These days, if government employees discuss anything the most with their morning tea, then it is when will the 8th Pay Commission come and how much will the pension increase? It has been almost a decade since the 7th Pay Commission was implemented and retired employees are now expecting something good, which will not only fill their pockets but also give them relief.
If the 8th Pay Commission is implemented on time and the government approves the recommendations, then a direct increase of 30 to 34 percent can be seen in the pension. Although this has not been officially said by the government yet, but the discussions that are going on indicate this.
The pension of government pensioners is usually determined according to their basic salary at the time of retirement and the fitment factor on it. In the 7th Pay Commission, this fitment factor was 2.57. Now if it is increased to 2.80 or 3.0 in the 8th Pay Commission, then a significant increase in pension is certain.
Understand with an example
Currently, if someone’s pension is Rs 10,000, then if it increases by 30%, it can directly become Rs 13,000 and if it increases by 34%, it can go up to Rs 13,400. That means, every month, an additional pension of Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,400 will be available.
When can the 8th Pay Commission be implemented?
There has been no official announcement about this yet, but central government sources say that it can be implemented from January 1, 2026. This process usually takes 1–2 years because the commission first gives recommendations, then the central government takes a decision on them.
What will be the benefit to pensioners?
This time too, it is expected that pensioners will get a big benefit on the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission. After the new basic pension is decided, dearness allowance (DA) will be added to it, which will make every future increase even more effective. Also, by merging Dearness Allowance into Basic, there can be a sudden big jump in pension. Old pensioners are also likely to get arrears.
