Expected formation date of 8th Pay Commission |

Many sources are saying, and even Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has announced that the 8th Pay Commission will be formed this year. However, all decisions depend on the government. Let’s see when it happens.

How the government decides to increase salaries

So many factors, like what is the cost of living, how much room rent is, how much other daily-use items like rice, water, transport, and others cost. How can government employees afford them, and what is the salary in the private sector?

 Comparing government salaries to private sector salaries helps keep them competitive. If private sector wages are higher, the government might lose skilled workers.

Political factors also matter in the decision-making process.

especially during election times . Here, as you may have seen, the 8th Pay Commission was announced before the Delhi elections because most central government employees live in Delhi.

After evaluation of so many factors, the 8th Pay Commission committee members make a report, typically around 500-600 pages. For example, the 7th Pay Commission report was around 700 pages. After that, the report is sent to the government, and once it is approved, it is implemented.

How much percentage salary can increase in 8^th Pay Commission ?

• For example, if your pay level is 1 and the fitment factor is 2.15, we multiply your basic pay by this factor. This gives you the new basic pay under the 8th Pay Commission. Means suppose level 1 basic pay is 19900, so new Basic Pay would be = basic Pay * fitment factor,
• So here
• 19900*2.15 = ₹42,785
• Step 2: Calculate HRA (House Rent Allowance)
• Once we know your basic pay, we calculate the HRA (house rent allowance). The percentage depends on your city For example, in Level 1, if you selecting X Cities and so HRA percentage is level 1 of X-Cities is 30%,
• So, for 8^th pay commission HRA would be, ₹42,785
• HRA = 30% of 42785 = 8557
• Step 3: Calculate TA (Transport Allowance)We then calculate the TA (transport allowance), which is a fixed amount for your pay level.
• We know that Level 1 Base TA = 3600 and
• DA on TA , selected by your input for 7^th commission ,current DA, means suppose, you have selected, 57% DA, so here Base TA and then 57% of Base TA = DA on TA okay, And this DA, only is applicable on , only in TA, okay, since we know that 8^th pay commission DA is 0% for 6 month okay, only DA on TA here okay, understand this very well
