What is 8th Pay Commission?
8th Central Pay Commission central govt ke ~50 lakh employees aur ~69 lakh pensioners ke liye salary, allowances (HRA, TA, DA), pension aur service conditions review karta hai. Har 10 saal mein aata hai (7th CPC 2016 se).
Effective date: January 1, 2026 (retrospective – agar delay hua to arrears January 2026 se). Implementation realistically late 2026 ya 2027 mein, lekin arrears full milega.
Expected Fitment Factor in 8th Pay Commission 2026
Fitment factor basic pay ko multiply karta hai new basic banane ke liye. 7th CPC mein yeh 2.57 tha.
Experts ke according expected range (Jan 2026 updates):
- Conservative: 1.83–2.15
- Realistic: 2.28–2.57
- Optimistic (unions demand): 2.86 ya zyada
Higher fitment = zyada hike, lekin govt fiscal space dekhega.

Arrears Calculation in 8th Pay Commission
Agar implementation May 2027 mein hota hai:
- Arrears period: Jan 2026 se April 2027 (16 months)
- Monthly difference × months = Arrears (basic + DA difference)
Example: Level 6 employee (current gross ~₹60k, expected new ~₹1.2L) → Monthly diff ₹60k → 16 months arrears ~₹9.6 lakh (approx).
Pensioners Benefits & Calculator
