7th Pay Commission: The Central Government may soon decide whether to grant the Central Government Employees Unions’ long-standing request to raise the fitment factor. Media reports have brought this to light. The central government employees’ never-ending wait, which is increasing demand pressure, has caused the fitment factor to rise from 2.57 to 3.68 times.
Salary following a potential increase in the fitting factor?
After the Union Budget for the following year, the government may decide to raise the fitment factor, according to media reports. The salary minus allowances, if the government triples the fitment ratio, is 18,000 X 2.57, or Rs 46,260. In contrast, if the employees’ expectations are granted, the salary will be 26000 X 3.68, or Rs 95,680. The pay would be Rs. 63,000 if the government took the fitment factor into account three times.
