👴 Pension Revision Framework
Pensioners receive 50% of last drawn revised basic pay as Full Basic Pension. The fitment factor applies directly to the basic pension amount, and Dearness Relief (DR) is reset in parallel with working employees.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is revised pension calculated under 8th Pay Commission?
Your current 7th CPC basic pension is multiplied by the approved fitment factor (e.g. 1.92 or 2.28) and rounded to the next higher multiple of 100.
Is Dearness Relief (DR) reset to 0% for pensioners?
Yes. Just like serving employees, when the pay commission is implemented, the existing DR (53%) is merged into the basic pension, resetting initial DR to 0%.
