📊 8th Pay Commission Explained in Simple Points 👇

✅ 1. What’s the Buzz About?
Govt employees are demanding a 2.86 fitment factor in the 8th Pay Commission to raise minimum salary to ₹51,480.

✅ 2. But There’s a Catch
Higher fitment factor doesn’t guarantee a proportional hike in take-home salary.

✅ 3. Why? Because of Inflation & DA
A major chunk of the increase goes into dearness allowance (DA) adjustment, not into actual net pay.

✅ 4. History Says So Too
📌 6th Pay Commission: 1.86 fitment = 54% real increase
📌 7th Pay Commission: 2.57 fitment = Only 14.2% real increase!

✅ 5. The Real Formula
Pay hike = (Fitment Factor) – (DA Adjustment for Inflation)
More fitment ≠ more salary, unless inflation is controlled.

✅ 6. Why It Matters
Without adjusting for inflation, even ₹51,480 may feel like less due to rising living costs.

🧠 Bottom Line:
Fitment looks big, but your real salary depends on inflation and DA math.
