Central government employees are anticipating the 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC), which could revise their salaries starting in 2026-2027. While official recommendations are pending, employees can estimate potential increases by understanding the calculation process. This typically involves applying a new fitment factor to current basic pay to determine revised basic pay, which then influences allowances like House Rent Allowance (HRA) and Transport Allowance (TA). These calculations provide a projection based on expected principles, not final entitlements.
