A post on X has shared estimated monthly salaries for various government employees under the 8th Pay Commission, projecting earnings ranging from Rs 45,000 for a peon to Rs 3 lakh for a Secretary to the Government of India. The chart also lists projected salaries for teachers, doctors, judges, scientists, police personnel, engineers and civil servants, although the figures have not been officially confirmed by the commission.
The estimates come as government employees await possible revisions to their salaries, allowances and benefits under the 8th Pay Commission. The amounts circulating on social media should be treated as projections rather than confirmed pay figures, as the commission has not released its final recommendations.
