8th Pay Commission vs 7th Pay Commission

Whenever the government announces for pay commission, then all the central government employees are filled with enthusiasm and there should be enthusiasm, after all, who will feel bad about their increased salary.

But if we talk about the benefits of the Pay Commission, then it seems quite confusing. But do not worry, all your confusions are going to be removed in this article.

7th Pay Commission:

Now let us understand how much the central government employees benefited from the 7th Pay Commission.

We can understand this with the help of an example.

Suppose someone's basic salary was Rs 7000 but after the 7th pay commission came, he got Rs 7000 basic Rs 18000. It's done. The factor of 2.57 was working behind this, which was decided by the government. But the thing to understand is that the Dearness Allowance (DA), which had gone above 100%, was brought down to 0% from the government. So, employees got an increase by a factor of about 1.57.

8th Pay Commission:

If rumours are to be believed, then the government is thinking of increasing the basic of government employees with a factor of 2.86 and if these rumors are true then how much will the salary of the central government employees increase under 8th pay commission?

There is no doubt that if the rumors are true, then the salary of central government employees will increase more than the 7th Pay Commission. Because the DA is currently at 53%, which is almost 50% less than the time of 7th pay commission. If this 53% DA is brought to 0%, even then the central government employees will get the benefit according to the factor of 2.3 instead of 1.57 this time.
