8th CPC Projections for Level 5 Employees: Central government employees are categorised at 18 levels as per the 7th Pay Commission (7th CPC) pay slabs based on their ranks and responsibilities. Non-gazetted employees form the large task workforce of the central government. Many such employees come under Level 5, where their grade pay is 2800 and the basic salary can be in the Rs 29,200-Rs 54,200 range. Once 8th Pay Commission recommendations are accepted, their basic pay will also be revised as per the fitment factor, which is a multiplier for salary and pension revision. For the 7th CPC, the fitment factor was 2.57. For the 8th CPC, many experts and projections suggest it to be 1.92 and 2.86. It may take more than a year to know the final fitment factor for the 8th Pay Commission. In this write-up, we present the estimated revised basic salary for Level 5 employees at 1.92, 2.08, 2.28, 2.57 or 2.86 fitment factors.
