The long wait of 8 lakh government employees and more than 4 lakh pensioners of Uttar Pradesh for the 8th Pay Commission is now on the verge of ending. The Central Government has given the green signal to the formation of the 8th Pay Commission, which directly means that now there will be a huge jump in the salaries of the employees.
So, let us know when the employees of UP will get this benefit and how much your salary can increase.
Government started preparations, sought suggestions
According to the latest information, the Finance Ministry has started talks to implement the 8th Pay Commission. The Minister of State for Finance told in Parliament that suggestions have been sought from major departments, ministries and state governments for this process. As soon as the official notification of the commission is released, its chairman and members will be appointed, after which they will submit their recommendations to the government.
When will UP employees get increased money?
This is the biggest question. If we look at the old pattern, the 7th Pay Commission was implemented at the Center from January 1, 2016, but it took another 5-6 months for its benefits to reach the employees of Uttar Pradesh.
Accordingly, the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission will also be implemented at the Centre. 1 January 2026 There is full hope that it will be implemented from. After this, it may take 5 to 7 months for UP employees to get this benefit. That is, by the middle of 2026, UP employees can also get the gift of new salary, and the good thing is that they will get the salary of the previous months. arrears Will also be available.
What is this ‘fitment factor’, which will increase your salary?
Fitment factor is that magic number by which your existing basic salary is multiplied to decide the new salary.
- In 7th Pay Commission: The fitment factor was 2.57. For this reason, the minimum basic salary increased directly from Rs 7,000 to Rs 18,000.
How much money will increase in the 8th Pay Commission?
It is expected that this time there will be a good increase in the fitment factor. Employee organizations are continuously demanding to increase it to 2.86 or more. If the government accepts this demand, there will be an upheaval in salaries.
Let us understand with a simple calculation:
- Suppose, today the minimum basic salary of an employee Rs 18,000 Is.
- if fitment factor 2.86 It is decided.
- So the new basic salary will be: 18,000 x 2.86 = Rs 51,480,
This means the salary can increase almost three times!
Pensioners will also have fun
Not only the employees but also the pensioners will benefit from this. According to this calculation, the minimum pension which is currently Rs 9,000 yes, he is greater than Rs 25,740 It will be done.
