Big Changes Coming for ONGC Employees and Retirees: ONGC Salary After 8th Pay Commission

ONGC Salary After 8th Pay Commission: As of now, the 8th Pay Commission is not officially approved, but expectations are strong that it will be announced by early 2026— possibly by the end of 2025. The last Pay Commission (7th CPC) was implemented in 2016, bringing major changes in the salary and pension structure of central government employees and PSU staff, including ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation).

This time, the pressure on the government is high due to rising inflation, DA hikes, and strong union demands. Over 1 crore employees and pensioners are likely to benefit, and ONGC, being a Navratna PSU under the Government of India, will follow the same pattern with slight modifications.

Why is this important for ONGC employees?

ONGC is one of the largest and most important Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) in India. Its employees follow pay structures recommended by the Central Pay Commissions, implemented by the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) with PSU-specific adjustments.

Once the 8th Pay Commission is formally announced, ONGC employees and pensioners will see a rise in:

Basic Pay
DA (Dearness Allowance)
HRA (House Rent Allowance)
Transport Allowance
Pension and Retirement Benefits
Performance Related Pay (PRP)

These changes will significantly improve take-home salaries and post-retirement financial security.

How Much Salary May Increase?

Based on current estimates and a likely fitment factor of 2.86, salaries of ONGC employees may nearly triple in basic pay under the 8th Pay Commission. This is because the fitment factor multiplies the current basic by 2.86 — far more than a simple 30% hike.

For example, if a junior ONGC employee’s current basic pay is ₹44,900 (Level 7):

New Basic Pay = ₹44,900 × 2.86 = ₹1,28,414
HRA @ 30% = ₹38,524
DA (Initially 0%, will resume increasing every 6 months)

Total revised gross salary could cross ₹1.6 lakh/month, up from around ₹75,000/month now — a 112% to 130% hike overall, depending on allowances.

Also note:

DA (which reached 59% by July 2025) will be merged into basic pay
HRA is now 30% (as DA crossed 50% in Jan 2025)

So, the real increase in your take-home salary will be much higher than just 30% — especially at lower pay levels.

Here’s a preview of the most accurate Level-wise Revised Salary Calculation after the 8th Pay Commission with a fitment factor of 2.86 and HRA at 30% (DA resets to 0% after merger):

Will There Be an Official Order?

Yes, once the Union Cabinet approves the 8th Pay Commission, an official gazette notification will be issued by the Finance Ministry.

For ONGC employees, the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) will also release a PSU-specific order that adapts central pay recommendations for Navratna PSUs like ONGC.

What Will Be the New Pension for ONGC Retirees?

ONGC pensioners follow a structure broadly aligned with central government pension rules, especially after pay commissions are implemented. After the 8th Pay Commission, pensions will be revised using one of the following:

Notional Pay Fixation Method

This is the standard approach used since the 7th CPC, where the pension is recalculated based on what the retiree’s salary would have been under the new pay matrix.

Direct Fitment Factor Method

In this method, the existing basic pension is multiplied by the fitment factor (e.g., 2.86) to arrive at the revised pension.

Let’s Understand With Real Examples

Example 1: Junior Officer or Technician

Current Basic Pension (7th CPC): ₹25,000
Fitment Factor (2.86x): ₹25,000 × 2.86 = ₹71,500
New Pension (8th CPC): ₹71,500
Dearness Relief (DR): Will start at 0% and increase every 6 months
Effective Take-Home will keep increasing with every DR hike.

Example 2: Senior Officer

Current Basic Pension: ₹50,000
Revised Pension: ₹50,000 × 2.86 = ₹1,43,000
DR starts at 0%, and increases from July 2026 onward (post-CPC)

Family Pension:

If last pay drawn = ₹70,000:

Family pension (before) = ~₹21,000 to ₹42,000 (as per rules)
Revised family pension (after 8th CPC) = ₹60,000+ depending on qualifying service and official scale

Family pensioners will also benefit from DR hikes. families will benefit from 8th CPC revision.

Will Arrears Be Paid?

Yes. If the 8th Pay Commission is implemented from 1 January 2026, and the order is issued later in mid-2026, all employees will receive arrears from the effective date.

For example, if the hike is announced in July 2026, you will get salary as per 8th CPC from January 2026 — and arrears for 6 months will be credited to your account in a lump sum.

This is similar to what happened after the 7th Pay Commission, when arrears for 6–7 months were given later in the year.

Why Is This Hike Happening?

Every 10 years, the government constitutes a Pay Commission because:

DA crosses 50%, triggering revision of allowances
Inflation rises, eroding real income
Employees demand fair compensation
To ensure parity between private sector and public sector jobs

As of July 2025:

This is a strong reason for merging DA with basic pay and revising the entire pay structure

DA is set to reach 59% from July 2025, and is expected to hit 63% by Jan 2026

What About the Next DA Hike?

Currently:

ONGC employees follow central DA pattern
DA changes twice a year: January and July

Latest Status:

July 2025 DA Hike = +4%, taking it to 59%

After 8th CPC:

DA will start from 0%
Will again be revised in 6-month cycles

Next Hike:

January 2026 — based on AICPI from July–Dec 2025 just like before.

How Will Allowances Be Revised?

This is the most asked question by central government employees, PSU staff (like ONGC executives), and pensioners.

Let’s break it down in very simple words, exactly as people are searching for it — with full clarity, real examples, and latest info:

Dearness Allowance (DA)

What will happen to DA after 8th Pay Commission?

DA will reset to 0% once merged into the new basic pay.
This happens every time a new Pay Commission comes.
After reset, it will again increase twice a year — January & July.
Hike will be based on AICPI (All India Consumer Price Index).

This means you’ll start from 0% DA, but it will keep increasing normally in future cycles.

House Rent Allowance (HRA)

Will HRA increase after 8th CPC?

Yes, HRA will increase a lot.
Since DA already crossed 50%, HRA is now at the highest level:

City Type	New HRA % (Current)
X Class (Metro)	30%
Y Class	20%
Z Class	10%

After 8th CPC, these % may remain the same, but since basic pay will increase, your HRA amount will also rise.

Example: If your current basic is ₹40,000, 30% HRA = ₹12,000. If your new basic becomes ₹55,000, 30% HRA = ₹16,500.

Transport Allowance (TA)

What will be the new TA after 8th Pay Commission?

TA is based on your pay level and city category.
It will be revised as per the new pay matrix.
Also, TA gets linked to DA. When DA crosses 25% & 50%, TA goes up.

So your Transport Allowance will automatically go up after the pay hike + when DA starts increasing again.

Performance Related Pay (PRP) — [For ONGC & PSU Executives]

Will PRP change after pay revision?

Yes — and it’s a major change for ONGC executives and other PSU officers.

PRP will be revised as a % of new basic + DA.
The % will depend on:

Factors Affecting PRP	Description
Individual Rating	Annual Performance Review (APAR score)
Company Score	ONGC’s MOU rating with govt
Profits	ONGC’s yearly net profit, EPS
DPE Guidelines	Final approval comes from Dept. of Public Enterprises

PSU PRP can go from 40% to 200% of basic+DA. After new pay revision, the amount will be much higher.

Example:
If your current PRP = ₹1.2 lakh on a ₹80,000 basic…
Then after pay hike (say new basic ₹1.1 lakh), your PRP may become ₹1.8–₹2.2 lakh.

Final Summary of Allowance Hike After 8th CPC

Allowance	What Changes?	Expected Impact
DA	Resets to 0%, restarts every Jan & July	Keeps growing normally
HRA	Remains 30/20/10%, but on new basic	Sharp increase in amount
TA	Recalculated on new matrix + DA-indexed	Will rise with DA
PRP	Recomputed as % of new basic+DA	Big jump in PSU payouts

8th Pay Commission and ONGC: What’s the Connection?

Some employees wonder — will ONGC follow 8th Pay Commission?
Yes. ONGC is a central PSU, and it follows pay scales approved by the government through the Department of Public Enterprises.

Here’s the history:

5th CPC (1996): Implemented in ONGC
6th CPC (2006): Implemented with PSU variations
7th CPC (2016): Adopted with PSU pay matrix in 2017
8th CPC (Expected in 2026): Will be implemented in ONGC within 6–8 months of approval

So, even if the structure may slightly vary (PSU perks, PRP, allowances), the overall hike will follow the same pattern.

Related Salary News for ONGC Employees

Here are some important updates:

July 2025 DA Hike: Expected to be 4%, taking total DA to 59%
Performance Related Pay (PRP): To be revised after 8th CPC
NPS for New Recruits: Still applicable unless govt notifies any change
Family Pensioners: Will also benefit from DR hikes and pay revision
Leave Encashment, Gratuity Limits: May increase with 8th CPC

Final Summary

So, if you’re working in ONGC — whether junior staff or senior officer — the 8th Pay Commission will bring a major jump in your salary. Based on a likely fitment factor of 2.86, your basic pay is expected to nearly triple.

Once new DA, HRA (now 30% as DA crossed 50%), and other allowances are applied, your gross monthly salary could increase by 130% to 160% over current figures — depending on your pay level.

If you’re retired, your pension will also be revised upwards using the Notional Pay Fixation or direct multiplication method, and you’ll receive full arrears from the effective date — likely 1 January 2026.

The government is widely expected to announce the 8th Pay Commission by late 2025, and its implementation will benefit lakhs of central PSU employees, including those in ONGC.

Typical pay:
Basic: ₹1.2–1.5 lakh/month
Gross (with DA, HRA, PRP): ₹3.5–4.5 lakh/month
Annual CTC: ₹55–75 lakh per year

Will 8th Pay Commission double the salary?

DA resets to 0%
HRA and allowances are recalculated
Net in-hand improves significantly
So, practically, for mid-level ONGC staff, total pay may feel close to doubling.

Will DA become zero after 8th Pay Commission?

Yes.
DA is merged into basic pay during any new Pay Commission rollout.
DA is reset to 0% from the implementation date (likely 1 Jan 2026).
New DA then starts rebuilding every 6 months based on AICPI index.
So, yes — DA will be zero at start, but your overall salary will still go up massively due to basic jump.

What will be the ONGC salary after the 8th Pay Commission?

After the 8th Pay Commission, expected from 1 January 2026, ONGC employees will likely see a massive jump in basic pay. Based on estimates from experts and previous CPC patterns, the fitment factor may be 2.5×. That means your current basic pay will be multiplied by 2.5 to calculate the new basic.
Let’s take a simple example. If your current basic is ₹60,000, your new basic after 8th CPC could be ₹1,50,000. On top of that, allowances like DA, HRA, PRP (performance-related pay), and travel allowance will also increase proportionately. This could raise your gross monthly salary by 80% to 120%. Final figures will depend on your posting city, grade level (E1 to E6+), and performance bonus eligibility. A fresh AEE today earning ₹1.6 lakh/month may earn ₹3–3.5 lakh/month post-8th CPC.

Where can I download the ONGC salary after 8th Pay Commission PDF?

As of now, the 8th Pay Commission has not yet been implemented, so there is no official ONGC salary PDF post-8th CPC. Once it’s officially notified—likely sometime in late 2025 or early 2026—the revised pay structure will be published by:
Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas
Department of Public Enterprises (DPE)
ONGC’s official website → www.ongcindia.com
You’ll be able to download the full post-CPC pay matrix PDF, just like the 7th CPC structure. It will include all levels, revised basic pay, HRA categories, and city classifications.

How to calculate my ONGC salary after 8th Pay Commission?

You can easily calculate your estimated ONGC salary after the 8th CPC using this basic formula:
New Basic Pay = Current Basic × Fitment Factor (estimated 2.5)
DA (reset to 0% initially, then grows)
HRA (up to 30% of new basic, depends on city)
PRP, TA, Cafeteria Allowance, Shift Allowance
= Gross Salary
– PF, NPS, Tax
= In-Hand Salary
Example:
Basic now = ₹65,000
After 8th CPC (×2.5) = ₹1,62,500
HRA (30%) = ₹48,750
PRP + TA + Others ≈ ₹15,000
Gross = ₹2.25–2.3 lakh
After deductions ≈ ₹1.9–2 lakh in-hand per month
You can build this in Excel with your exact grade and perks. After official rollout, ONGC will also release an internal salary calculator sheet for employees.

What is the ONGC salary after 5 years of service?

HRA (metro): ₹27,000 to ₹33,000
PRP + other allowances: ₹20,000–₹30,000
Gross salary: ₹1.4–1.8 lakh/month

After 10 years, you’re likely to be at E3/E4 level, which is Manager / Sr. Manager / DGM-track depending on promotion cycles.
Typical 10-year pay outlook (current structure):
Basic pay: ₹1.2–1.5 lakh/month
DA (50%) = ₹60,000–₹75,000
HRA (30%) = ₹36,000–₹45,000
PRP, TA, medical = ₹20,000–₹30,000
Gross Pay: ₹2.2–2.8 lakh/month
In-hand Salary: ₹1.8–2.3 lakh/month
After 8th CPC, this could easily cross ₹4–5 lakh/month gross and ₹3–4 lakh/month in-hand, depending on your role, grade, and city.

What is the average ONGC salary per month?

The average monthly salary at ONGC varies widely depending on your experience, grade, and posting, but overall, it’s among the best-paying PSUs in India. For freshers joining as Graduate Trainees (GT) or Assistant Executive Engineers (AEE), the in-hand salary under the 7th Pay Commission usually ranges from ₹1.1 to ₹1.35 lakh per month. After the 8th Pay Commission is implemented—likely with a 2.5× fitment factor—this is expected to jump to around ₹2.2 to ₹2.7 lakh per month. Engineers with around 5 years of experience, typically at E2 or E3 level, currently earn ₹1.4 to ₹1.8 lakh per month, which may rise to ₹2.5 to ₹3.5 lakh after the 8th CPC revision. By the 10-year mark, if you’ve progressed to Manager or DGM-level roles, your in-hand monthly salary can be between ₹1.8 to ₹2.5 lakh now, and it’s expected to grow to ₹3.5 to ₹5 lakh post-CPC. For senior executives like General Managers (CGM or above), salaries can currently go from ₹3.5 to ₹5 lakh per month or more, and may touch ₹6 to ₹8.5 lakh after the 8th Pay Commission. These figures include basic pay, dearness allowance (DA), performance-related pay (PRP), HRA, and other perks. On average, ONGC salaries are projected to rise by 80% to 120%, depending on city class, role, and allowances, once the new pay scale is implemented.ONGC Salary After 8th Pay Commission 2026 – Expected Salary Hike Chart for Freshers, Engineers, and Managers with Pay Matrix and Perks
