New Delhi: The wait for the 8th Pay Commission for central employees and pensioners is increasing, as it is expected to increase the salary from 20% to 30%. This Pay Commission can prove to be an important step to improve the lifestyle of central employees. Let us know, with the implementation of this Pay Commission, how much salary can increase on which pay level and what will be the effect of the fitment factor.

Fitment Factor: The main factor of salary hike.
