Know what is the fitment factor
Let us tell you that the fitment factor is the multiplier which is going to be applied on the existing basic pay. Due to this, the new salary can be calculated. In the 7th Pay Commission, it was 2.57, due to which the salary of Level 1 employees was increased from Rs 7,000 to Rs 18,000. However, currently the total salary (Basic Salary Hike) including allowances is around Rs 36,020, when the minimum basic salary is Rs 18,000 per month.
This is how the salaries of employees are decided
Employees' salaries are determined based on the fitment factor. The fitment factor for salary increases under the 8th Pay Commission is being discussed. The National Council of Joint Consultative Machinery (NC-JCM Latest Update) and employees' associations have recommended a fitment factor of at least 2.86.

However, if the fitment factor is set at 2.86 percent, the salary could increase by 186 percent. This would increase the minimum salary to ₹51,480 and the pension to ₹25,740.
