In Mumbai, the 8th CPC met with employees’ and pensioners’ bodies and other stakeholders, where it discussed matters related to salary, pension, allowances and employees’ work conditions.In many similar discussions that the Pay Commission has held at various cities across India in the last few months, the annual basic pay increment rate has emerged as one of the key issues.Employees’ bodies say that if the government increases the annual increment rate from its current rate of 3% to a higher level, employees’ dependency on a pay commission for revised salaries will decrease. They argue that if that happens, employees won’t have to wait for 10 years to get a good salary hike.At a 3% annual hike, the basic pay of central government employees rose by a little over 30% from 2016 to 2025.Central government employees’ associations have suggested up to a 7% annual increment rate in their respective memorandums submitted to the 8th Pay Commission this year.How an annual increment rate of 5%-7% can help salaries of Level 9-11 employees in 10 years of the 8th Pay Commission, let’s figure out in this write-up.The Council of the Joint Consultative Machinery (NC-JCM), the main body of central government employees, has advocated for a 6% annual increment rate in its memorandum.The All India Defence Employees’ Federation (AIDEF) and the Federation of Postal Organisations (FNPO) have toed the NC-JCM’s line and have recommended a 6% annual increment rate each.The All India New Pension Scheme Employees’ Federation (AINPSEF) wants a 7% increment rate.The AINPSEF says that at a 7% annual increment rate, the gross salary of an employee can double in just seven to eight years.It further says that a 3% increment rate is insufficient, specially for low-rank employees, to keep pace with rising inflation.Starting basic pay for Level 9, 10 and 11 central government employees are Rs 53,100, Rs 56,100 and Rs 67,700, respectively.Now see how their basic salaries may rise in the 8th Pay Commission at 5% and 7% increment rates and at a 2.28 fitment factor.Also find out how much extra basic pay these employees may get at 5% and 7% increment rates and at a 2.28 fitment factor.In the calculations, you can see that Level 9, 10 and 11 employees may get Rs 34 lakh, Rs 36 lakh and Rs 43 lakh extra basic pay in 10 years if the 8th Pay Commission sets a 2.28 fitment factor.However, to know the exact increment rate and increase in salary, one should wait for the 8th Pay Commission report implementation notification.
