th Pay Commission may consider higher annual increments for central government employees, as proposed by unions.
Under the 7th Pay Commission, annual increment is 3%; proposals range from 5% to 7%.
A 5% increment scenario would raise Level 1 basic pay from ₹18,000 to about ₹24,200 per month in five years.
Higher basic pay could lead to higher revised salary in future pay revisions.
