8th pay commission
India is once again entering a phase where increase in government salaries not only increases the income of employees but also starts a new cycle of demand in the entire economy. The estimated additional expenditure of Rs 3.7 to 3.9 lakh crore under the 8th Central Pay Commission will directly reach the pockets of lakhs of families in the coming times. This amount is many times more than the 7th Pay Commission, but it would not be right to see it only as a fiscal burden, because the real impact will be visible in the consumption that will be generated with this increased income.
In fact, every pay commission in India has changed the expenditure pattern. There was a surge in two-wheeler sales after the 5th Pay Commission in 1997, the 6th Pay Commission in 2008 gave a boost to the auto and real estate sectors, while the 7th Pay Commission in 2016 strengthened the investment culture and increased participation in instruments like SIPs. Now with the 8th Pay Commission, this impact is going to become more widespread, because its impact will not be limited only to big cities, but will also reach deep into small cities and towns.
These factors will also give strength
This time the situation is different because along with the Pay Commission, other economic forces are also at work, which include improvement in wages and expansion of the scope of social security. This means that the surge in consumption will not be limited only to government employees, but its benefits will reach the wider population. When more money comes into the hands of more people, they not only fulfill their essential needs but also start making big expenses like buying a house, buying a vehicle or investing, which further boosts demand in the economy.
Its effect is clearly visible on the ground. Somewhere a family is thinking of upgrading their old car, while somewhere an employee is implementing the decision of buying a house which has been postponed for years. At the same time, some people are increasing their savings and investments, which also increases activity in the financial markets. These small decisions together create big economic trends and prepare the basis for growth in the coming years.
