If the 8th Pay Commission adopt a fitment factor of 2.15, it would mean a basic pay hike of INR 20,700 (INR 38,700 - INR 18,000), or a 115% increase in basic pay. The final take-home salary would further increase as allowances are calculated on this enhanced basic pay. Any figures, including the 2.15 fitment factor, remain speculative until official confirmation.
