How 8th CPC Works
- A fitment factor is applied to the existing basic pay to derive the new basic pay
- DA resets to 0% on the implementation date (DA gets merged into basic)
- HRA and TA rates are revised upward proportionally
- The 7th CPC used a fitment factor of 2.57x (2016). 8th CPC is expected to use ~1.92x
- Expected implementation: 1 January 2026

Frequently Asked Questions
The 8th Pay Commission has been constituted and is expected to submit recommendations by 2026. Implementation is likely from January 2026, similar to how 7th CPC was implemented from January 2016 with arrears.
The fitment factor is projected to be in the range of 1.92× to 2.86×, based on historical patterns and inflation. Our calculator uses 1.92× as the default but you can adjust it from 1.5× to 2.5×.
8th CPC Basic Pay = Current 7th CPC Basic Pay × Fitment Factor. All allowances (DA, HRA, TA) will then be recalculated on the new basic pay as per the new commission's recommendations.
Yes. When a new Pay Commission's recommendations are implemented, the existing DA is merged into the new basic pay, and DA resets to zero from the date of implementation. The fitment factor accounts for this merged DA.
