According to the sources, the Union Cabinet had approved the recommendations of the 7th pay commission to fix the minimum pay of Rs 18,000 by keeping in mind the fitment factor at 2.57. And now the government is speculating to raise the fitment factor to three times. Perhaps, the central government employees are demanding to hike the fitment factor by 3.68.
