Understanding the 8th Pay Commission

The Pay Commission is a body set up by the Government of India to review and make recommendations on the work and pay structure of civil and military divisions of the Government of India. The 8th Pay Commission follows the 7th Pay Commission which was implemented in 2016.

How Government Salary is Structured

Government employee salaries in India typically consist of various components:

Basic Pay: The core component of the salary that forms the basis for calculating other allowances.

Dearness Allowance (DA): An allowance paid to government employees to offset the impact of inflation.

House Rent Allowance (HRA): An allowance provided to employees to meet housing expenses, which varies based on the city classification (X, Y, or Z).

Other Allowances: May include Transport Allowance, Medical Allowance, and various special allowances based on the job role.
