The commission set up by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will recommend changes to the salary structure of central government employees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the final framework is still awaited, the main question now is how much of the proposed revision may actually show up in the monthly in-hand pay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_May_Change_in_the_New_Pay_Structure\"><\/span>What May Change in the New Pay Structure?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new structure is expected to affect more than just basic pay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final revision may involve:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Basic pay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dearness Allowance (DA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>House Rent Allowance (HRA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transport Allowance (TA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pension<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Possible arrears<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the recommendations are approved with effect from January 1, 2026, employees may also receive arrears for the period until the new structure is implemented.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Demands_of_the_Employee_Union\"><\/span>What are the Demands of the Employee Union?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key demands placed before the National Council &#8211; Joint Consultative Machinery (NC-JCM) include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Minimum basic pay of \u20b969,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fitment factor of 3.83<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Annual increment of 6%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimum HRA slab of 30%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pension at 67% of last pay drawn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Family pension at 50%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restoration of the Old Pension Scheme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> While these demands set expectations, the actual salary increase will depend primarily on how the fitment factor is decided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is Everyone Focused on the Fitment Factor?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>fitment factor<\/strong> is the multiplier applied to the current basic pay to determine the new basic pay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It plays a major role in the final salary revision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This proposed fitment factor is significantly higher than the previous revision.
