All Constituents of the
National Council(JCM)
Dear Comrades,
Sub: Meetings with the VII CPC and the Cabinet Secretary
Today I met the Chairman, VII CPC, Justice Shri Ashok Kumar Mathur, and expressed our anguish against retrograde recommendations of VII CPC, particularly reg. Minimum Wage, reduction in HRA and CCL, non-redressal of NPS, abolition of various allowances, examination of MACP benefit, etc. etc.
Tough he had given argument, but I told him about the anguish of all the constituents of the JCM(Staff Side), who feel that they have been betrayed by the VII CPC.
Comrades! I have also met the Cabinet Secretary, Shri P.K. Sinha, in the afternoon and handed him over a copy of the attached letter and requested him to convene meeting of the NC/JCM at an earliest as well as to intervene in the matters raised by the JCA in case of report of VII CPC at an earliest. The Cabinet Secretary has promised that he would try to fix the meeting at an earliest and also look into the points raised by the NC/JCM(Staff Side) for VII CPC.
With fraternal greetings!

Easy steps to Calculate your Basic Pension in 7th Pay Commission


We here illustrate the method through easy 5 Steps to calculate your Basic Pension in  7th CPC  Recommendation

Easy steps to Calculate your Basic Pension in 7th Pay Commission 
There are Two options have been given to Pensioners
First They have to calculate the Two options and  whichever is benefit for them They can select higher amount as their Pension
Option No.1 .  The existing Pension may be Multiplied by 2.57
Option No.2 . The Pay Scale  on their retirement and Number of increments they earned  to be taken for calculation
In that Case they should know their Pay Scale and Basic Pay drawn on the date of their Retirement and number increments they earned
By referring the Corresponding Pay scale in successive Pay Commission, they should identify their Sixth pay commission Pay band. If they Know their corresponding Pay Band in sixth Pay commission then it will be easy for them to arrive their Basic Pension to be fixed in VII pay commission.
After calculating the Basic Pension from the above two options, they can choose whichever is beneficial for them

Calculation for arriving your 7th CPC Basic Pension is described below through 5 Easy Steps

 Assume You retired at last pay drawn of ₹4,000 on 31 January, 1989 under the IV CPC regime, having drawn 9 increments in the pay scale of ₹3000-100-3500-125-4500:
              Your Basic Pension as revised in VI CPC = 12,543
Calculation Option -I
Step.I
Multiply your Your Basic Pension with 2.57
                    Basic Pension (VI CPC)   x   2.57
= 12543 x 2.57 = 32235.70 ( Paisa to be rounded off rupee)
Your basic Pension As per VII CPC = Rs.32236
Calculation Option-II
   Step-II
–    Identify your corresponding Pay Level in Pay Matrix
–    For that you should know your Pay Band in VI pay commission
[The Pay scale details will be informed you by Concerned Pension Paying Authorities when ever your basic Pension was revised as per the successive Pay commission Recommendation ]
for example for this pay scale of ₹3000-100-3500-125-4500,  the corresponding  Pay Scale  and   pay band for Fifth and Sixth CPC respectively is given below
In IV Pay Commission Your Pay Scale is 3000-100-3500-125-4500
In V pay Commission Your Pay scale is 10000-325-15200
In Sixth Pay Commission Your Pay Band is 15600-39100 – Grade Pay is 6000
         In Seventh Pay commission your Pay Matrix Level is 11
Step -III
Minimum Pay at this level -11 is Rs. 67700
Total increment earned on your initial pay on the date of Retirement is 9
So Count nine cells from the cell assigned as Minimum Pay in that Level 11
your index number in that Particular Pay matrix Level 11 = 10
The figure in Level 11 and Index 10 = 88400
             50% of this Pay will be fixed as your Basic Pension
Hence your Basic Pension will be fixed at Rs.44200/-
Step- IV
Choose whichever is higher to fix your Basic Pension
Basic Pension in Option -1 = 32236
Basic Pension in Option -2 = 44200
You can select option 2 as the fixation for Basic Pension in 7th Pay commission
Your basic Pension in 7th Pay commission = 44200/-
Note : 1.
Those who are retired in Sixth Pay commission regime would be aware of their increment and Pay Band details. It will be easy for them to calculate their Basic pension in VII Pay Commission using this matrix.
For other it will be very difficult to find out their Pay scale and quantum of increment details as of now. Also It will take little time for Concerned Department to verify the Pensioners record to ascertain the number of increments earned in the retiring level
Note -II
So 7th pay commission recommended that in the first instance the revised pension may be calculated using Calculation Option -I and the same may be paid as an interim measure
[ Your Present Basic Pension to be Multiplied by 2.57 = Rs .32236 ]
So Rs.32236 will be paid as Basic Pension as Interim Measure
After Checking the records of concerned individuals As per calculation Option -II
Then Rs.44200 will pe Paid as your Basic Pension
Subsequently the difference of higher amount also will be Paid as Arrears

7TH CPC MULTIPLICATION FACTOR CLARIFICATION

After the release of 7th CPC notification, there has been some confusion on the air about the multiplier percentage (%) which should be used to calculate the revised basic pay.
We have gone through the report and believe the confusion is created because of the below matrix (Table 4: Rationalisation Applied in the Present Pay Structure) which is displayed in the page no 73 of the report, where it shows different multiplying factor for different Pay Band and Grade Pay.
However, in Page 77 (5.1.28 – Pay Fixation in the New Pay Structure) the commission wants every employee to multiply his/her basic pay with a factor of 2.57 and match the nearest highest value corresponding to their Pay Brand and Grade Pay.
Also, refer (5.1.29) in Page 77, it gives below the calculation method and also how employees should apply the new pay structure
We believe the multiplying factor is 2.57 for the existing employee is because of the example which is also used in the report, do refer the page no: 78, Example I.
After applying the multiplication factor of 2.57, the output value should be referred in the fitment matrix as elaborated in the example
In other examples which are illustrated in the report also highlight the usage of 2.57 as multiplying factor for the current employees.
If you look at the Example II, they have referred to any Employee “T” in GP “4200” and used the multiplying factor as 2.57, however if we were supposed to use the Table 4 (Table 4: Rationalisation Applied in the Present Pay Structure) then the multiplication factor should have 2.62 which is not been applied and hence we believe the multiple factor is 2.57.
With the above example and the content we believe that multiplying factor for the existing employee should be 2.57 and our calculator is been built on this basis.
  


Trade unions furious over 7th Pay Commission report recommendations: Top 10 reasons why

While the 7th Pay Commission report recommendations have been a source of joy for hundreds of thousands of government employees, for the national trade unions linked to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Left, the hike has not been high enough and they have not kept quiet about it.

Trade unions have protested vehemently against the 7th Pay Commission and are looking for redressal of their grievances and contemplating action. They have also looked at strong industrial action to indicate their unhappiness and will be indicating soon what their future course of action can be. Here are the top 10 reasons why, they say, they are angry with the Seventh Pay panel report:

1. Proposed 7th Pay Commission hike is lowest in many decades and not in sync with inflation - least hike (proposed) in the last 30 years. Considering the inflation, it is unsatisfactory.

2. 7th Pay Commission has recommended a 16 per cent hike in net pay against projected 23.55 per cent.

3. There is a huge gap in maximum and minimum pay in the 7th Pay Commission report recommendations.

4. The gratuity ceiling recommended by 7th Pay Commission has been raised from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh, the benefit of this will go to senior officials only.

5. 7th Pay Commission report has ignored sharp increase in prices justifying substantial upward revision in HRA and other allowances. Instead the commission has reduced rates of HRA from 30 per cent to 24 per cent of the basic pay in A Class cities and corresponding decrease in other cities which is a retrograde recommendation.

6. Doubts about the way the 7th Pay Commission has calculated the figures. For example, they calculated House Rent Allowance (HRA) at 3 per cent against the mandated 7 per cent.

7. As per commodity prices on Agriculture Ministry's website and on the basis of Labour Bureau data, the Basic Pay comes at Rs 11,341 while 7th Pay Commission calculation shows it at Rs 9,218. There is a lot of gap.

8. There is no clarity in the 7th Pay Commission report on the pay revision for lakhs of contract workers in government ministries as well as 3 lakh Grameen Dak Sewaks.

9. 7th Pay Commission is the only commission, which has reduced the allowances and due to which the growth in net income is only 14.28 per cent. (PTI).

10. 7th Pay Commission report is totally disappointing and beats logic. Employees and workers will meet on November 27 to protest against the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission and discuss the issue.

NOTE: The 900-page report of the 7th Pay Commission headed by Justice A K Mathur was presented to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley with a recommendation that the new scales be implemented from January 1, 2016. The panel recommended a 14.27 per cent increase in basic pay, the lowest in 70 years. The previous 6th Pay Commission had recommended a 20 per cent hike, which the government doubled while implementing it in 2008.

7TH PAY COMMISSION REPORT SUBMITTED TO GOVERNMENT OF INDIA ON 19.11.2015
MOST DISAPPOINTING AND RETROGRADE RECOMMENDATIONS – NO CHANGE IN MACP



                                                                                      



IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
1.    DATE OF EFFECT – 01.01.2016
2.    MINIMUM PAY – 18000 Based on the Aykroyd formula, the minimum pay in government is recommended to be set at ₹18,000 per month

3.    FITMENT FORMULA – The fixation of revised pay has been greatly simplified in the new pay matrix and will not involve further calculations. The basic pay being drawn by any person on the date of implementation is to be multiplied by a factor of 2.57 and the figure so obtained will Report of the Seventh CPC be matched for the closest figure in the level pertaining to his/her existing grade pay and fixed there.

Pay Fixation in the New Pay Structure
5.1.28 The fitment of each employee in the new pay matrix is proposed to be done by multiplying his/her basic pay on the date of implementation by a factor of 2.57. The figure so arrived at is to be located in the new pay matrix, in the level that corresponds to the employee’s grade pay on the date of implementation, except in cases where the Commission has recommended a change in the existing grade pay. If the identical figure is not available in the given level, the next higher figure closest to it would be the new pay of the concerned employee. A couple of examples are detailed below to make the process amply clear
5.1.29 The pay in the new pay matrix is to be fixed in the following manner:
Step 1: Identify Basic Pay (Pay in the pay band plus Grade Pay) drawn by an employee as on the date of implementation. This figure is ‘A’.
Step 2: Multiply ‘A’ with 2.57, round-off to the nearest rupee, and obtain result ‘B’.
Step 3: The figure so arrived at, i.e., ‘B’ or the next higher figure closest to it in the Level assigned to his/her grade pay, will be the new pay in the new pay matrix. In case the value of ‘B’ is less than the starting pay of the Level, then the pay will be equal to the starting pay of that level.
Example I
i. For example an employee is presently drawing Basic Pay of ₹55,040 (Pay in the Pay Band ₹46340 + Grade Pay ₹8700 = ₹55040). After multiplying ₹55,040 with 2.57, a figure of ₹1,41,452.80 is arrived at. This is rounded off to ₹1,41,453.
ii. The level corresponding to GP 8700 is level 13, as may be seen from Table 4, which gives the full correspondence between existing Grade Pay and the new Levels being proposed.
iii. In the column for level 13, the figure closest to ₹1,41,453 is ₹1,41,600.
iv. Hence the pay of employee will be fixed at ₹1,41,600 in level 13 in the new pay matrix tabke
5.1.30 As part of its recommendations if Commission has recommended any upgradation or downgrade in the level of a particular post, the person would be placed in the level corresponding to the newly recommended grade pay.

D.     Multiply your basic pay [Pay + Grade pay] as on 01,01,2016 with the above factor according to your Grade pay and  round-off to the nearest rupee, and obtain result = X
E.      The figure so arrived at, i.e., ‘X’ or the next higher figure closest to it in the Level assigned to your grade pay, will be the new pay in the new pay matrix. In case the value of ‘X’ is less than the starting pay of the Level, then the pay will be equal to the starting pay of that level.
F.       The above arrived figure is your Rationalized entry pay i.e. your new basic pay as on 01.01.2016. In the above formula, your existing DA 119 is automatically merged with the multiply factor.
G.     This is the first pay commission avoiding disparity in the pay fixation in arriving arrears and all the officials from new recruits to retiring person will get the benefit equally as per the above multiple factor according your Grade pay.

Note: The basic pay mentioned above as on 01.01.2016 is only example for the illustration. You replace it with your basic pay as on 01.01.2016 and calculate your pay. It is simple mechanism.
4.    FIXATION ON PROMOTION – NO CHANGE – ONLY ONE INCREMENT IN THE OLD SCALE
A.     For those who have been promoted from the previous level, the fixation of pay in the new level will depend on the pay they were already drawing in the previous level, after grant of  3% increment, the official pay will be fixed to the next level.
  1. When the employee receives a promotion or a non-functional financial upgrade, he/she progresses one level ahead on the horizontal range – Para 5.1.23.  [As per this para, if any officials will get LSG/HSG promotion  after getting MACP, the officials will get fixation benefit to the next stage as mentioned in Matrix table.]
5.    ANNUAL INCREMENT – 3% NO CHANGE
a. Suppose, Ms. ABC, who, after having been fixed in the Pay Matrix, is drawing a Basic Pay of ₹32,300 in Level 4. When she gets an annual increment on 1st of July, she will just move one stage down in the same Level. Hence, after increment, her pay will be ₹33,300. [Even though 3% increment is only for calculation, but the official will be placed one stage own in the same level.
b. WITH HOLDING OF ANNUAL INCREMENT - The Commission is therefore proposing withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service
6.    MODIFIED ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION – NO CHANGE 
a. The inherent issues in the existing pay structure owing to which there was widespread resentment have been set right by way of rationalisation of pay levels, abolition of pay band and grade pay Report of the Seventh CPC and introduction of a matrix based open pay structure. Hence, there is no justification for increasing the frequency of MACP
b. No change in  10, 20, 30 years - Performance benchmarks for MACP have been made more stringent from “Good” to “Very Good”. The Commission has also proposed that annual increments not be granted in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or for a regular promotion in the first 20 years of their service. No other changes in MACP recommended.
7.    PAY BAND, GRADE PAY SYSTEM ABOLISHED - Considering the issues raised regarding the Grade Pay structure and with a view to bring in greater transparency, the present system of pay bands and grade pay has been dispensed with and a new pay matrix has been designed. Grade Pay has been subsumed in the pay matrix. The status of the employee, hitherto determined by grade pay, will now be determined by the level in the pay matrix.
8.    MAXIMUM PAY INCREASE – 14.29% - This fitment factor of 2.57 is being proposed to be applied uniformly for all employees. It includes a factor of 2.25 on account of DA neutralisation, assuming that the
rate of Dearness Allowance would be 125 percent at the time of implementation [01.01.2016] of the new pay. Accordingly, the actual raise/fitment being recommended is 14.29 percent
Comments: [ Actually our basic pay + Grade pay = 100% DA as on 01.07.2015-119% and as on 01.01.2016 presumed as 125%. As such, at present we are getting 225% [100 + 125} i.e.2.25 , where as our fitment formula recommended as 2.57. The difference of 2.57-2.25 = 0.32 % is the only real increase of our existing pay.]
9.   ALLOWANCES – NO IMPROVEMENT
Commission recommended abolition of 52 existing allowances such as Assisting Cashier Allowance, Cash Handling Allowance, Treasury Allowance, Handicapped Allowance, Risk Allowance, Savings Bank Allowance, Special compensatory (Hill Area) Allowance, Cycle Allowance, Family Planning Allowance etc. Another 36 allowances have been abolished as separate identities, but subsumed either in an existing allowance or in newly proposed allowances. Allowances relating to Risk and Hardship will be governed by the proposed Risk and Hardship Matrix.
10.          HRA REDUCED TO 26%, 16% AND 8% FOR X, Y AND Z CITIES - Since the Basic Pay has been revised upwards, the Commission recommends that HRA be paid at the rate of 24 percent, 16 percent and 8 percent of the new Basic Pay for Class X, Y and Z cities respectively. The Commission also recommends that the rate of HRA will be revised to 27 percent, 18 percent and 9 percent respectively when DA crosses 50 percent, and further revised to 30 percent, 20 percent and 10 percent when DA crosses 100 percent
11.          Advances: All non-interest bearing Advances have been abolished - Regarding interest-bearing Advances, only Personal Computer Advance and House Building Advance (HBA) have been retained. HBA ceiling has been increased to 25 lakhs from the present 7.5 lakhs
12.          DA FORMULA – NO CHANGE FOR FUTURE INDEX - Commission recommends continuance of the
existing formula and methodology for calculating the Dearness Allowance
13.          Central Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme (CGEGIS): The Rates of contribution as also the insurance coverage under the CGEGIS have remained unchanged for long. They have now been enhanced suitably. The following rates of CGEGIS are recommended:

Present
Proposed

15.   NUMBER OF PAY SCALES – NOT REDUCED - NO DELAYERING
16.          CASUAL LEAVE – NO INCREASE
17.          CHILD Care Leave - 1st 365 days – Full pay (100%) -         Next 365 days – 80% Pay only.

22.          LEAVE TRAVEL CONCESSION (LTC) – NO CHANGE -  Splitting of Home Town LTC for employees Posted in North East, Laddakh, Andaman & Nicobars and Lakshdweep allowed.
23. ACCOUNTS STAFF BELONGING TO UNORGANIZED ACCOUNTS INCLUDING SBCO STAFF – PARITY WITH ORGANISED ACCOUNTS REJECTED - The Commission has noted that the stipulated entry level qualification and recruitment process of Postal Assistants (SBCO) is similar to that of direct recruit Postal Assistants in the Postal Assistants’ cadre and their promotional channel is also identical. The Commission is therefore of the view that no up gradation is warranted
24.  PERIODICAL REVIEW OF WAGES (NOT TEN YEARS) RECOMMENDED. NO PAY COMMISSION REQUIRED
25.          PERFORMANCE RELATED PAY SHOULD BE INTRODUCED IN GOVERNMENT SERVICES AND ALL BONUS PAYMENT SHOULD BE LINKED TO PRODUCTIVITY - Productivity Linked Bonus for all.
26.          COMPULSORY RETIREMENT AND EFFICIENCY BAR REINTRODUCED - Failure to get required bench Mark for promotion within the first 20 years of service will result in stoppage of increment. Such employees who have out lived their ability, their services need not be continued and the continuance of such persons in the service should be discouraged.
27.          PROMOTEE AND DIRECT RECRUITS – ENTRY LEVEL PAY ANOMALY IS REMOVED
JCM (SS) demand – the differential entry pay between new recruits and promoted employees should be done away with.
28.          CADRE REVIEW TO BE COMPLETED IN A TIME BOUND MANNER - Commission recommended to hasten the process of cadre review and reduced the time taken in inter-ministerial consultations.
29.          NEW PENSION SCHEME – WILL CONTINUE
30.          CEA & HOSTEL SUBSIDY Rate
CEA per month             2250 - 25% increase when DA crosses
Hostel subsidy              6750 – 50& increase when DA crosses  
31.     IPO/ASP/SP SCALE UPGRADED : Commission has noted that the VI CPC had placed Inspector (Posts) at par with Inspector of CBDT/CBED. Subsequently the Inspector of CBDT/CBE were elevated to GP 4600. The Commission has further noted that the Inspector of Posts and Inspector of CBDT/CBED are recruited through the same combined graduate level examination. Therefore the commission recommended 4600 GP for IP and 4800 GP and 5400 GP for SPOs.
32. ADDITIONAL WORK ALLOWANCE  - 2% of the Basic Pay per month - 10% of the Basic pay if period exceeds 45 days.

PENSIONARY BENEFITS
1 .  PENSIONERS – PARITY – LONG STANDING DEMAND OF THE PENSIONERS ACCEPTED - The Commission recommends a revised pension formulation for civil employees including CAPF personnel as well as for Defence personnel, who have retired before 01.01.2016. This formulation will bring about parity between past pensioners and current retirees for the same length of service in the pay scale at the time of retirement.
The past pensioners shall first be fixed in the Pay Matrix being recommended by the Commission on the basis of Pay Band and Grade Pay at which they retired, at the minimum of the corresponding level in the pay matrix.
This amount shall be raised to arrive at the notional pay of retirees, by adding number of increments he/she had earned in that level while in service at the rate of 3 percent.
Fifty percent of the total amount so arrived at shall be the new pension.
An alternative calculation will be carried out, which will be a multiple of 2.57 times of the current basic pension. The pensioner will get the higher of the two

4..          PENSIONERS – FIXED MEDICAL ALLOWANCE (FMA) – NO CHANGE (RS. 500/-
5.          Introduction of a Health Insurance Scheme for Central Government employees and pensioners has been recommended - Meanwhile, for the benefit of pensioners residing outside the CGHS areas, CGHS should empanel those hospitals which are already empanelled under CS (MA)/ECHS for catering to the medical requirement of these pensioners on a cashless basis.   All postal pensioners should be covered under CGHS. All postal dispensaries should be merged with CGHS.
6. Ex-gratia Lump sum Compensation to Next of Kin: The Commission is recommending the revision of rates of lump sum compensation for next of kin (NOK) in case of death arising in various circumstances relating to performance of duties, to be applied uniformly for the defence forces personnel and civilians including CAPF personnel.
7. New Pension System: The Commission received many grievances relating to NPS. It has recommended a number of steps to improve the functioning of NPS. It has also recommended establishment of a strong grievance redressal mechanism.
8.. Performance Related Pay: The Commission has recommended introduction of the Performance Related Pay (PRP) for all categories of Central Government employees, based on quality Results Framework Documents, reformed Annual Performance Appraisal Reports and some other broad Guidelines. The Commission has also recommended that the PRP should subsume the existing Bonus schemes.
