8th pay commission
Bharatiya Praksha Mazdoor Sangh (BPMS), which is a member of the staff side of the National Council Joint Consultative Mechanism (NC-JCM), in its memorandum to the 8th Pay Commission on Wednesday has demanded a minimum basic salary of Rs 72,000, a maximum of Rs 10 lakh and a fitment factor of 4.0 for central government employees.
BPMS, which represents civil employees of the defense services, has also demanded an increase in the annual increment from 3% to 6%. Apart from this, it has been said that the family unit used in determining salary will be increased from 3 to 5. BPMS Executive President Mukesh Singh said that the organization has submitted the memorandum of its demands to the 8th Pay Commission and it is expected that the Commission will consider these demands while preparing its recommendations.
In the 7th Pay Commission, the basic salary of an entry level (Level-1) employee is Rs 18,000. In such a situation, the demand of Rs 72,000 of BPMS is equivalent to four times increase. At the same time, there has also been a demand to increase the maximum basic salary from Rs 2,50,000 to Rs 10 lakh per month.
How was the minimum salary of Rs 72,000 calculated?
BPMS has based this increase on the per capita income data of the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation (MoSPI). According to the organization, per capita income in India has increased from Rs 1,03,219 in 201617 to Rs 1,92,774 in 202425, i.e. an increase of about 86.76%.
calculated on this basis
Minimum Salary (7th Pay Commission): Rs 18,000 Dearness Allowance (58%): Rs 10,440 Total: Rs 28,440 86.76% increase: Rs 24,674.54 New Salary: Rs 53,114.54
Since in the 7th Pay Commission the salary is fixed on the basis of 3 family units, the salary per unit comes to Rs 17,704.85. If we look at it in terms of 5 units, then the salary comes to around Rs 88,524.
Then why asked for only Rs 72,000?
BPMS says that according to the calculations the salary comes to Rs 88,524, but considering the impact on the government's expenditure and budget, a balanced and practical figure is necessary. According to the organization, the increase in salary also affects the pension, allowances and salary structure of the state governments. Therefore, keeping in mind the revenue, fiscal deficit and other expenses (like infrastructure, social schemes and defence), a proposal of Rs 72,000 has been made.
Fitment Factor 4.0
BPMS has demanded to keep the fitment factor at 4.0, of which 1.58 percent is for adjustment of dearness allowance. The remaining portion reflects the actual increase required to provide a better standard of living to workers.
Proposed new pay structure
BPMS has also suggested a new pay structure for the 8th Pay Commission, in which it is proposed to merge some levels. For example.
- Level 1: Rs 18,000 → Rs 72,000
- Level 2-3: Rs 19,900/ Rs 21,700 → Rs 86,800
- Level 4-5: Rs 25,500/ Rs 29,200 → Rs 1,16,800
- Level 6: Rs 35,400 → Rs 1,41,600
- Level 7: Rs 44,900 → Rs 1,79,600
- Level 8: Rs 47,600 → Rs 1,90,400
- Level 9-10: Rs 53,100/Rs 56,100 → Rs 2,24,400
- Level 11: Rs 67,700 → Rs 2,70,800
- Level 12: Rs 78,800 → Rs 3,15,200
- Level 13: Rs 1,18,500 → Rs 4,74,000
- Level 13A: Rs 1,31,100 → Rs 5,24,400
- Level 14: Rs 1,44,200 → Rs 5,76,800
- Level 15: Rs 1,82,200 → Rs 7,28,800
- Level 16: Rs 2,05,400 → Rs 8,21,600
- Level 17: Rs 2,25,000 → Rs 9,00,000
- Level 18: Rs 2,50,000 → Rs 10,00,000
Overall, BPMS says that this proposal takes care of the financial condition of the government along with improving the living standards of the employees.
