About the 8th Pay Commission
The 8th Central Pay Commission (8th CPC) was approved by the Union Cabinet to review and revise the pay structure of central government employees and pensioners across India. The recommendations are expected to cover:
- Basic Pay revision using a fitment factor multiplier
- Revised Dearness Allowance (DA) rates
- Updated House Rent Allowance (HRA) slabs
- Revised Transport Allowance (TA) and other allowances
- Pension revision for retired government employees
Jammu & Kashmir holds a unique position as the first state to implement the 7th Pay Commission recommendations through SRO-193 dated 24th April, 2018. J&K government employees and pensioners can use this calculator to plan their finances ahead of the 8th CPC implementation.
What is a Fitment Factor?
A fitment factor is a multiplication factor used to determine the revised basic pay under a new pay commission. It is applied to the existing basic pay to arrive at the new basic pay. For example:
- Under the 7th CPC, the fitment factor was 2.57.
- Under the 6th CPC, the fitment factor was 1.86.
- For the 8th CPC, the expected fitment factor ranges from 1.92 to 2.86, with most estimates around 2.28 to 2.57.
Formula: New Basic Pay = Current Basic Pay × Fitment Factor
