A total of 50.14 lakh central government employees and around 69 lakh pensioners are eagerly awaiting the recommendations of the 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC), wondering how much their salaries and pensions will increase and when the new pay structure will be implemented.
The 8th Pay Commission, headed by retired Justice Ranjana Desai, has been examining wage revisions, allowances, pension adjustments, retirement benefits, and service conditions. The panel is expected to submit its report with recommendations on basic pay, allowances, and pension revisions.

A key component of any Pay Commission is the fitment factor, which is a multiplier used to calculate revised basic pay and pensions when moving from one pay structure to the next.
