How much will the salary increase after the 8th Pay Commission?

The central government implements a new pay commission for its employees every 10 years. The 7th Pay Commission was implemented in 2016, and now the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission are expected to be implemented from January 1, 2026.

Although the salary of bank employees is not decided directly by the Pay Commission but through Bipartite Settlement, the increase in the salary of central employees also has a positive impact on the pay scale of bank employees.

• Big jump expected: Experts estimate that after the 8th Pay Commission, there may be a significant increase in the basic salary of employees.
• Amazing fitment factor: ‘Fitment factor’ is most important in the Pay Commission, by which the basic salary is multiplied. If the fitment factor (2.57) of the 7th Pay Commission is also implemented again, then there will be a huge jump in the minimum basic salary.
• What will be the effect?: It is estimated that with the impact of the 8th Pay Commission, the starting basic salary of an SBI clerk may cross ₹ 30,000, and the allowances will also increase. This will also see a big jump in in-hand salary.

Overall, SBI Clerk job is not only a secure and well-paid career option currently, but it is also going to become even more attractive in the future after the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission.
