If the fitment factor of 2.86 is adopted, central government pay scales will rise sharply. For instance:
Level 1: Rs 18,000 → Rs 51,480
Level 5: Rs 29,200 → Rs 83,512
Level 10: Rs 56,100 → Rs 1,60,446
Level 13A: Rs 1,31,100 → Rs 3,74,946
Level 18: Rs 2,50,000 → Rs 7,15,000
In addition to basic pay hikes, allowances such as Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and Travel Allowance (TA) will also be recalculated, boosting gross salary.
