8th Pay Commission Reviewing Salaries, Pensions, Allowances
The 8th Pay Commission is undertaking a review of salaries, pensions, and allowances for central government employees and pensioners. Key areas of focus include the fitment factor, minimum basic pay, pension revision, and Dearness Allowance (DA) merger. Consultation meetings are scheduled, and there are demands to link the calculation of pay to the expenses of supporting elderly parents. If a specific formula is accepted, it could lead to a basic pay of ₹69,000.
