8th Pay Commission Revised Salary Estimates: In a major development, the Modi government has reportedly started consultations with key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Personnel and Training, and state governments, as part of the process to constitute the 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC). The implementation of the 8th Pay Commission will revise pay structures for nearly 50 lakh central government employees and 62 lakh pensioners. It is important to note that the attention of the Central government is now on a key component of the salary calculation — the fitment factor.
In this article, we will discuss about the estimated revised basic pay, house rent allowance (HRA), transport allowance (TA), National Pension System (NPS), and Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) payouts of Grade Pay 1800, 2000, 2800, 4600, or 5400 employees who has been keenly waiting for your basic salary revision at the 8th Pay Commission (8th CPC).
We will calculate HRA at 24 per cent of the employee's basic salary (for employees residing in X class cities), and TA meant for higher TPTA cities (which is in the range of Rs 1,350 to Rs 7,200 for employees at different levels). Since NPS is calculated at 10 per cent of the basic salary of the employee, we will keep it at the same level. CGHS will be calculated as per the current rates. At 1.92 fitment factor

(Disclaimer: These are projections. Actual revised amounts may vary.) What is the fitment factor?
The fitment factor is a numerical multiplier used to determine revised salaries. The fitness factor is applied to the current basic pay to calculate the new basic salary under the Pay Commission. A higher fitment factor leads to a corresponding increase in salary.
For example, under the 7th Pay Commission, the fitment factor was 2.57 — meaning the basic pay was increased by 2.57 times to arrive at the new structure. If the 8th Pay Commission recommends a higher figure, the salary hike could range between 30% and 34%, as per initial estimates cited in reports. When will the 8th Pay Commission be implemented?
It is important to note that there is no official notification yet, in a written reply to the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said, 'Inputs have been sought from major stakeholders, including Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Personnel & Training and from states.' He added that the chairperson and members of the 8th CPC will be appointed once the commission is formally notified. Madhya Pradesh Government Prepares Budget For 8th Pay Commission:
According to the reports, the Mohan Yadav-led The Madhya Pradesh government is preparing the budget to implement salaries and pensions as per the 8th Pay Commission for around 7.5 lakh regular government employees and 4.5 lakh pensioners. The government is likely to provide an estimated 15 percent increase in salary and pension.

Home minister Amit Shah, in a message to CRPF on X, said, "Your selfless sacrifice has been the backbone of our nation's security and your unwavering courage to end Naxalism is truly commendable". Home secretary Govind Mohan, while addressing CRPF Raising Day celebrations here, assured the force of the ministry of home affairs' commitment to arming it with modern weapons and latest technology to meet the increasing security challenges India faces. The secretary emphasised that the MHA would deploy technology to minimise the risk of injury in risky operations. "In the coming days, we will have drones that can see through thick foliage in the mountains etc, weapons that can be fired from a safe range and technology to remotely detect and defuse IEDs," he said. Personnel who lose a limb in operations would be retained in the force, possibly in an alternative role, and limb replacement facilitated wherever there is scope, he said at the event with CRPF DG G P Singh by his side. Mohan underlined that the MHA was working with CRPF to ensure that personnel, particularly women, have access to all basic facilities in camps set up in operational areas. tnn

Prime Minister Narendra Modi soaks in spiritual experience on his visit to Gangaikonda Cholapuram
The spirit of bakthi hung in the air and Prime Minister Narendra Modi soaked in the spiritual experience during his more than two-hour visit to the Brihadisvara temple in Gangaikonda Cholapuram on Sunday. Sporting a traditional Tamil attire of white dhoti (veshti) and half-sleeve shirt with an angavastram (upper cloth), Mr. Modi offered prayers at the Shiva temple built by Rajendra Chola I, which is famous for its imposing architecture and exquisite sculptures. He was received with poorna kumbam honours. He performed aarathi to the presiding deity. Devotional renderings by maestro Ilaiyaraaja and a group of Odhuvars were held. The Odhuvars rendered the Thevaram hymns in praise of Lord Shiva, Thodudaiya Seviyan, Pithaa Piraisoodi Perumaney, and Muthaitharu Pathith Thirunagai from the Thirupugazh in praise of Lord Murugan. This was followed by the performance of the troupe led by Mr. Ilaiyaraaja. Singer Madhu Balakrishnan rendered the Om Sivahom. The maestro with his mesmerising voice rendered the Namah Shivaya Vaazhga Naadhanthaal Vaazhga and Poovar Senni Mannan of Saint Manickavasagar. The performances drew standing ovations from the Prime Minister. Moved by the spiritual atmosphere, Mr. Modi acknowledged it while speaking at the valedictory of the Aadi Thiruvathirai festival at the temple complex. Greeting the audience with 'Vanakkam Cholamandalam' (salutations to the Chola region), Mr. Modi appreciated the performances of Mr. Ilaiyaraaja and the Odhuvars. He handed over a pot of Ganga water from Kasi to the Sivachariars at the temple. The celebration of Ganga in the land of the Cauvery is also a legacy of the Chola Empire, he observed, and expressed happiness that he had once again brought Ganga water to Tamil Nadu. He viewed a thematic photo exhibition on 'Saiva Siddhanta and Chola Temple Arts', put up by the Union Ministry of Culture. Impressed by the achievements of the Cholas, he urged the people to visit the exhibition without fail. Mr. Modi released a Tamil musical album on Bhagavad Gita brought out by Chinmaya Mission and a publication on Thevaram brought out by Sahitya Akademi. He also held a roadshow on the way to the temple.
