Key Principles of 8th CPC Salary Revision

1. Role of Fitment Factor

The fitment factor is the uniform multiplier used to transition basic pay from one pay commission to the next. In the 7th CPC, 2.57 was approved for civil staff.

2. Neutralization of 53% DA

Existing Dearness Allowance (~53%) is merged directly into revised basic pay, resetting subsequent DA accumulation to 0%.

3. Revision of Minimum Basic Pay

Minimum Level 1 basic pay currently stands at ₹18,000. At 2.28x it estimates to ₹41,000, and at 2.57x to ₹46,260.
