The eighth payment commission, which will recommend reviews for the salaries and pensions of the employees of the central government, has been approved by the Cabinet of the Union and is likely to be implemented next year. The Government will decide the recommendations after the payment panel present its suggestions to the center. Currently, the salary structure for central employees follows the recommendations of the seventh payment commission that entered into force in 2016. Salary reviews will now depend on the “conditioning factor”, a multiplier that applies to the current basic payment.
What is the adjustment factor?
The adjustment factor is a crucial indicator that serves as a multiplication coefficient that decides how much salaries should be adjusted according to the recommendations of the payment panel. With the adjustment factor in 2.57 under the seventh payment commission, wages at level 1 increased from RS 7,000 (under the sixth payment commission) to RS 18,000 in 2016.
This, however, was not the salary to take home for employees. When the assignment of meat (DA), the house rental of the house (HRA) and the transport assignment, in addition to other benefits, were added to 18,000 basic salaries, the total salary was at RS 36,020 under the 7th commission of payments.
The reports suggest that the adjustment factor could increase to 2.86, which will increase the basic salary at level 1 of RS 18,000 to RS 51,480. Consequently, at the 10 levels, employees will see a review in salaries and pensions.
