The Commission may apply a fitment factor of 2.46.

New Delhi: Reports say that the 8th Pay Commission may have to wait until 2028 to be fully implemented. The Union Cabinet approved it in January, but no official notification has been issued, nor have the terms of reference been finalised, nor has the list of commission members been released. However, it will be implemented from January 1, 2026, meaning employees will receive two years’ arrears.

The implementation of the new Pay Commission will benefit more than 50 lakh central government employees and 65 lakh pensioners. The basic salary of Level 1 central government employees could increase from Rs 18,000 to Rs 44,000. The Commission may apply a fitment factor of 2.46.
