National Council(JCM)
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!

Secretary GeneralEasy 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
– 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 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
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
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
Courtesy : http://www.gservants.com/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 H 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 H 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.

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.
- 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:

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

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
2 . PENSIONERS – MINIMUM PENSION RS. 9000/- (50% of the minimum pay recommended by the
7th CPC)
3. . PENSIONERS – GRATUITY - Enhancement
in the ceiling of gratuity from the existing ₹10 lakh to ₹20 lakh. The
ceiling on gratuity may be raised by 25 percent whenever DA rises by 50
percent.
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.
