Final Salary
The fitment factor plays a huge role in deciding the final salary. Unions want the 8th Pay Commission to use a 3.83 fitment factor. If you multiply the current Rs 18,000 basic pay by 3.83, you get Rs 68,940. This calculation is exactly why unions are demanding a Rs 69,000 minimum basic pay. In comparison, the 7th Pay Commission used a 2.57 fitment factor, which put the Rs 18,000 basic pay at Rs 46,260 based on that calculation.
