7th Pay Commission: In order to increase the minimum salary of central employees, for the first time in 2016, the fitment factor was included in the salary. This was done on the recommendation of the 7th Pay Commission, so that the Central Government employees could get a minimum salary. Now there is talk of increasing the fitment factor. The higher the fitment factor, the higher will be the salary of central employees.
How does the salary increase with the fitment factor?
At present, while fixing the salary of any employee, the old basic salary is multiplied by the fitment factor. After this, components like Dearness Allowance, Travel Allowance, House Rent Allowance are added to it. Thus, if the fitment factor is higher, then multiplying by the basic salary, the figure will also become large and this will directly increase the salary of the employee.
How much will the salary increase?
At present, the salary of central employees is Rs 18,000. On the other hand, if we talk about the current fitment factor based on the recommendation of the 7th Pay Commission, then it is 2.57. Now it is being said to increase it to 3. If it is increased to 3, then the minimum salary of central employees will directly increase from Rs 18 thousand to Rs 25 thousand, which is no less than a big news for central employees.
Recently increased dearness allowance
Recently, the government has increased the dearness allowance given to central employees. Earlier it was 17 percent, which has now been increased to 28 percent. This has been implemented from July 1, due to which the central employees have benefited a lot. However, this increase has happened after about one and a half years. Now if the fitment factor is also increased, then it will cost the central employees bat-bat.
