8th Pay Commission Official @ 8cpc.gov.in (Official portal - updates, notifications, stakeholder inputs)

Reality Check: Abhi tak koi "confirmed salary hike" number official nahi hai. Commission consultation stage me hai - jo bhi "fitment 3.68 confirmed, salary double" wale numbers ghoom rahe, wo sab ESTIMATES/demands hain, official nahi.

8th Pay Commission Status - Kahan Tak Pahuncha?

• Constituted: 3 November 2025 ko formal notification

Fitment Factor - Salary Hike Ka Asli Factor

Fitment factor wo multiplier hai jisse purana basic naya basic banta hai. 7th CPC me ye 2.57 tha (basic Rs 7,000 x 2.57 = Rs 18,000 minimum).

• 8th CPC me fitment factor abhi FINALIZE NAHI hua
• Employee unions demand: 2.86 se 3.25 ke beech
• Agar 2.86 hua to minimum basic ~Rs 18,000 se badhkar significantly upar ja sakta
• Lekin ye sirf DEMAND hai - actual figure commission report + government decision se hi confirm hoga

Important: Fitment factor jitna zyada, salary utni badhti. Par koi bhi specific number (2.86 / 3.0 / 3.68) abhi official confirmed nahi hai. Sirf estimates hain.

Expected Salary Impact (Sirf Estimate)

Ye table sirf illustration hai - actual revised pay matrix, HRA, pension formula commission report ke baad hi aayega. Kisi bhi calculator ke number ko final mat maano.

Kaun Benefit Karega?

• ~1 crore log - central government employees (serving) + pensioners
• Railways, defence civilians, central departments, autonomous bodies staff
• Pensioners ki pension bhi revise hogi (fitment factor same lagta pension pe)
• State governments aksar central CPC ko adopt karte, to state employees ko bhi eventually asar (Bihar samet, state decision se)
