New Delhi: The 8th Pay Commission, set to roll out on January 1, 2026, promises major salary and pension revisions for central government employees and pensioners. Among the key highlights is a significant increase in pension benefits, bringing financial relief to retirees.
How Much Will Your Pension Increase?
Experts predict that the 8th Pay Commission will introduce a fitment factor between 2.28 and 2.86, directly affecting pension calculations. This means pensioners could see a substantial boost in their monthly income.
For instance, if the fitment factor is 2.86, a current pension of ₹9,000 could jump to ₹25,740, offering a major financial uplift to retirees.
