Currently, salary is given to central employees by calculating the fitment factor at the rate of 2.57 percent, and the demand from the employees is to increase it to 3.68 times. If the fitment factor is increased to 3 times, it may increase the basic salary of the employees up to Rs.35 thousand per month.
The fitment factor was last increased in 2016 when the Seventh Pay Commission was implemented. Earlier, the basic salary of the employees was Rs 6,000, but it was increased to Rs 18,000 per month. Now, the demand is to increase it again.
Although the Central Government has not yet provided official information regarding the potential salary hikes, media reports suggest that important steps may be taken soon. If the government takes this step, it will be a big boost for the employees, and their salaries will increase significantly.
