OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Implementation of the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission- Fixation of pay and Payment of arrears – instructions Regarding
The undersigned is directed to refer to the Government of India, Ministry of Finance, Department Of Expenditure’s Resolution No. 1-2/2016-IC dated 25/07/2016, bringing out the decisions of the Government On the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission as well as the consequent promulgation of the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2016, notified vide G.S.R NO. 721(E) dated 25th July, 2016 regarding fixation Of pay in the revised pay structure effective from 01.01.2016 and to say the provisions governing such fixation Of pay have been clearly enunciated in the said Rules.
2. Accordingly in pursuance of the CCS (RP) Rules, 2016, appropriate necessary action to fix the pay of the employees covered thereunder in the revised pay structure needs to be carried out forthwith in accordance with the provisions contained therein. In order to facilitate a smooth and systematic fixation of pay, a proforma for the purpose (Statement of Fixation of Pay) is enclosed at Annexure. The statement of fixation of pay in revised pay structure as per CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 be prepared in triplicate and one copy thereof be placed in the Service Book of the employee concerned and another copy made available to the concerned accounting authorities [Chief Controller Of Accounts/Controller Of Accounts/Accounts Officer] for post-check.
3. The revised pay structure effective from 01.012016 includes the Dearness Allowance of 125% sanctioned from 01.01 2016 in the pre-revised pay structure. Thus, Dearness Allowance in the revised pay structure shall be zero from 01.01.2016. The rate and the date of effect of the first installment of Dearness Allowance in the revised pay structure shall be as per the orders to be issued in this behalf in future.
4. The decision on the revised rates and the date of effect of all Allowances (other than Dearness Allowance), based on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission shall be notified subsequently and separately. Until then, all such Allowances shall continue to be reckoned and paid at the existing rates under the terms and conditions prevailing in the pre-revised pay structure as if the existing pay structure has not been revised under the CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 issued on 25.072016
5. The contributions under the Central Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme (CGEGIS) shall Continue to be applicable under the existing rates until further orders,
6. The existing system on interest free advances for medical treatment, Travelling Allowance for family Of deceased, Travelling Allowance on tour or transfer and Leave Travel Concession shall continue as hitherto.
7. The arrears as accruing on account Of revised pay consequent upon fixation Of pay under CCS Rules. 2016 with effect from 01 012016 shall be paid in cash in one installment along with the payment Of salary for the month Of August, 2016, after making necessary adjustment on account of GPF and NPS, as applicable, in view of the revised pay. DDOs/PAOs shall ensure that action is taken simultaneously in regard to Government’s contribution towards enhanced subscription.
8. With a view to expediting the authorization and disbursement of arrears, it has been decided that the arrear claims may be paid without pre-check Of the fixation of pay in the revised scales of pay, However, the facilities to disburse arrears without pre-check of fixation of pay will not be available in respect of those Government servants who have relinquished service on account of dismissal, resignation, discharge, retirement etc. after the date Of implementation of the Pay Commission’s recommendations but before the preparation and drawl Of the arrears claims, as well as in respect of those employees who had expired prior to exercising their option for the drawal of pay in the revised scales.
9. The requirement of pre-check of pay fixation having been dispensed with, it is not unlikely that the arrears due in some cases may be computed incorrectly leading to overpayments that might have to be recovered subsequently. Therefore, the Drawing & Disbursing Officers should make it clear to the employees under their administrative control, while disbursing the arrears; that the payments are being made subject to adjustment from amounts that may be due to them subsequently should any discrepancies be noticed later. For this purpose, an undertaking as prescribed as per a “Form of Option” under Rule 6(2) of the CCS(RP) Rules, 2016 shall be obtained in writing from every employee at the time of exercising option under Rule 6(1) thereof,
10. In authorizing the arrears, Income Tax as due may also be deducted and credited to Government in accordance with the instructions on the subject.
11. On receipt of the necessary options, action for drawal and disbursement Of arrears should be completed immediately.
12. Hindi version will follow.

7 CPC - information from PIB
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the implementation of the recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) on pay and pensionary benefits. It will come into effect from 01.01.2016.
In the past, the employees had to wait for 19 months for the implementation of the Commission’s recommendations at the time of 5th CPC, and for 32 months at the time of implementation of 6th CPC. However, this time, 7th CPC recommendations are being implemented within 6 months from the due date.
The Cabinet has also decided that arrears of pay and pensionary benefits will be paid during the current financial year (2016-17) itself, unlike in the past when parts of arrears were paid in the next financial year.
The recommendations will benefit over 1 crore employees. This includes over 47 lakh central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners, of which 14 lakh employees and 18 lakh pensioners are from the defence forces.
Highlights:
1. The present system of Pay Bands and Grade Pay has been dispensed with and a new Pay Matrix as recommended by the Commission has been approved. The status of the employee, hitherto determined by grade pay, will now be determined by the level in the Pay Matrix. Separate Pay Matrices have been drawn up for Civilians, Defence Personnel and for Military Nursing Service. The principle and rationale behind these matrices are the same.
2. All existing levels have been subsumed in the new structure; no new levels have been introduced nor has any level been dispensed with. Index of Rationalisation has been approved for arriving at minimum pay in each Level of the Pay Matrix depending upon the increasing role, responsibility and accountability at each step in the hierarchy.
3. The minimum pay has been increased from Rs. 7000 to 18000 p.m. Starting salary of a newly recruited employee at lowest level will now be Rs. 18000 whereas for a freshly recruited Class I officer, it will be Rs. 56100. This reflects a compression ratio of 1:3.12 signifying that pay of a Class I officer on direct recruitment will be three times the pay of an entrant at lowest level.
4. For the purpose of revision of pay and pension, a fitment factor of 2.57 will be applied across all Levels in the Pay Matrices.
5. Rate of increment has been retained at 3 %. This will benefit the employees in future on account of higher basic pay as the annual increments that they earn in future will be 2.57 times than at present.
6. The Cabinet approved further improvements in the Defence Pay Matrix by enhancing Index of Rationalisation for Level 13A (Brigadier) and providing for additional stages in Level 12A (Lieutenant Colonel), 13 (Colonel) and 13A (Brigadier) in order to bring parity with Combined Armed Police Forces (CAPF) counterparts at the maximum of the respective Levels.
7. Some other decisions impacting the employees including Defence & Combined Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel include :
· Gratuity ceiling enhanced from Rs. 10 to 20 lakh. The ceiling on gratuity will increase by 25 % whenever DA rises by 50 %.
· A common regime for payment of Ex-gratia lump sum compensation for civil and defence forces personnel payable to Next of Kin with the existing rates enhanced from Rs. 10-20 lakh to 25-45 lakh for different categories.
· Rates of Military Service Pay revised from Rs. 1000, 2000, 4200 & 6000 to 3600, 5200, 10800 & 15500 respectively for various categories of Defence Forces personnel.
· Terminal gratuity equivalent of 10.5 months of reckonable emoluments for Short Service Commissioned Officers who will be allowed to exit Armed Forces any time between 7 and 10 years of service.
· Hospital Leave, Special Disability Leave and Sick Leave subsumed into a composite new Leave named ‘Work Related Illness and Injury Leave’ (WRIIL). Full pay and allowances will be granted to all employees during the entire period of hospitalization on account of WRIIL.
8. The Cabinet also approved the recommendation of the Commission to enhance the ceiling of House Building Advance from Rs. 7.50 lakh to 25 lakh. In order to ensure that no hardship is caused to employees, four interest free advances namely Advances for Medical Treatment, TA on tour/transfer, TA for family of deceased employees and LTC have been retained. All other interest free advances have been abolished.
9. The Cabinet also decided not to accept the steep hike in monthly contribution towards Central Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme (CGEGIS) recommended by the Commission. The existing rates of monthly contribution will continue. This will increase the take home salary of employees at lower levels by Rs. 1470. However, considering the need for social security of employees, the Cabinet has asked Ministry of Finance to work out a customized group insurance scheme for Central Government Employees with low premium and high risk cover.
10. The general recommendations of the Commission on pension and related benefits have been approved by the Cabinet. Both the options recommended by the Commission as regards pension revision have been accepted subject to feasibility of their implementation. Revision of pension using the second option based on fitment factor of 2.57 shall be implemented immediately. A Committee is being constituted to address the implementation issues anticipated in the first formulation. The first formulation may be made applicable if its implementation is found feasible after examination by proposed Committee which is to submit its Report within 4 months.
11. The Commission examined a total of 196 existing Allowances and, by way of rationalization, recommended abolition of 51 Allowances and subsuming of 37 Allowances. Given the significant changes in the existing provisions for Allowances which may have wide ranging implications, the Cabinet decided to constitute a Committee headed by Finance Secretary for further examination of the recommendations of 7th CPC on Allowances. The Committee will complete its work in a time bound manner and submit its reports within a period of 4 months. Till a final decision, all existing Allowances will continue to be paid at the existing rates.
12. The Cabinet also decided to constitute two separate Committees (i) to suggest measures for streamlining the implementation of National Pension System (NPS) and (ii) to look into anomalies likely to arise out of implementation of the Commission’s Report.
13. Apart from the pay, pension and other recommendations approved by the Cabinet, it was decided that the concerned Ministries may examine the issues that are administrative in nature, individual post/ cadre specific and issues in which the Commission has not been able to arrive at a consensus.
14. As estimated by the 7th CPC, the additional financial impact on account of implementation of all its recommendations in 2016-17 will be Rs. 1,02,100 crore. There will be an additional implication of Rs. 12,133 crore on account of payments of arrears of pay and pension for two months of 2015-16.

7th CPC analysis
7th Pay Commission:-15 things you need to know
1. The present system of pay bands and grade pay has been dropped and a new pay matrix as recommended by the commission has been approved. Separate pay matrices have been drawn up for civilians, defence personnel and for military nursing service.
By doing away with the pay bands and grade pay, the new pay matrix ensures that there are no abrupt jumps in salaries upon promotion in different pay bands.
2. All existing levels have been absorbed in the new structure; no new levels have been introduced.
3. The minimum pay has been increased from Rs 7,000 to Rs 18, 000 per month. Starting salary of a newly recruited employee at lowest level will now be Rs 18,000 whereas for a freshly recruited Class I officer, it will be Rs 56,100.
4. For the purpose of revision of pay and pension, a fitment factor of 2.57 will be applied across all levels in the pay matrices. After taking into account the DA at prevailing rate, the salary/pension of all government employees/pensioners will be raised by at least 14.29 % as on January 1, 2016.
5. Rate of increment has been retained at 3%. This will benefit the employees in future on account of higher basic pay as the annual increments that they earn in future will be 2.57 times than at present.
6. The Cabinet approved further improvements in the defence pay matrix by enhancing Index of Rationalisation for Level 13A (Brigadier) and providing for additional stages in Level 12A (Lieutenant Colonel), 13 (Colonel) and 13A (Brigadier) in order to bring parity with Combined Armed Police Forces (CAPF) counterparts at the maximum of the respective Levels.

7th Pay Commission Award From July 1
New Delhi: A Finance Ministry’s official today said new pay scale for all central government officials and employees under the 7th Pay Commission award will be implemented from July 1, 2015.
“The 7th Pay Commission award will be implemented after taking decision of the cabinet in light of recommendations made in the reports of the 7th Pay Commission and the recommendations Empowered Committee of Secretaries, which will be made on June 11″ he said in reply to our question.
The cabinet expects giving the 7th Pay Commission award to central government employees in the next month, The Prime Minister Narendra Modi will give his approval to the 7th Pay Commission award like he approved the proposal of extending the retirement age of all doctors of the Central Health Service to 65 years, creating a record of sorts by clearing the proposal in less than than 24 hours of receiving it from the Health Ministry, said a top PMO official on Tuesday asked not to be named because he was not authorized to release the information.
The Empowered Committee of Secretaries would scrutinise recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission on June 11 finally to make government able to announce the 7th Pay Commission award to implement from July 1, Finance Ministry official said.
Accordingly, the brightest diyas of coming Diwali will be lit outside houses of central government employees. For, when the rest of the world is reeling under the fear of losing jobs.
The 7th pay commission recommendations’ implementation could not have been timelier, some economic experts say. So when the world is plunging in recession, central government employees are busy counting their blessings along with the hard cash they will receive in August as arrears from January 2016.
The several central government establishments such as the railways, telecom, air force, army, CPWD, CRPF, DRDO, CISF, Income Tax, Survey of India, customs and excise, among others are in happy mood.
These would perhaps live up to the ‘happy and prosperous’ Diwali greeting. After all, they will get arrears as well as bonus ahead of festive season.
The 7th Pay Commission headed by Justice A K Mathur proposed the highest salary at Rs 250,000 and the lowest at Rs 18,000. The commission also recommended 14.27 per cent increase in basic pay, 23.55% overall increase in salary, allowances and pensions. The increase in allowances was recommended 63% while pension was proposed to rise 24%.
The previous Sixth Pay Commission had recommended a 20 per cent hike in basic pay which the government doubled while implementing it in 2008.
A 13 members Empowered Committee of Secretaries, led by cabinet Secretary P K Sinha was formed in January to review the recommendations of 7th Pay Commission before cabinet nod and the committee is likely to finalize its work on June 11.
The Empowered Committee of Secretaries is likely to reach the conclusion to propose 30 percent basic pay raise instead of 14.27 per cent, which was recommended by 7th Pay Commission. They are also mulling for doubling of existing rates of such allowances and advances, which has been recommended for abolition by the 7th Pay Commission, sources said.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will take the Empowered Committee of Secretaries’ proposal to the Union Cabinet for its approval in this month,” they said.
The new pay scales will be effective from January 1 for all central government employees.

7th Pay Commission: Cheers for govt employees! Centre to start paying increased salary from July
Zee Media Bureau,
March 22, 2016
New Delhi: In what
could bring smiles to lakhs of central government employees, the Centre might
start paying the increased salary, recommended by Seventh Pay Commission, from
July onwards, as per media reports.
Added to the pleasure
will be the government decision to also pay arrears to the employees along with
the hike in salary.
The 'increased pay',
which is due from January 1, 2016, will mean a total of six months' arrear.
As much as Rs 70,000
crore has been provisioned in the Union Budget 2016-17 for implementation of
Seventh Pay Commission for government employees.
Implementation of the
pay commission report in toto is to cost the government Rs 1.02 lakh crore.
The government in
January set up a high-powered panel headed by Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha to
process the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission which will have bearing
on the remuneration of 47 lakh central government employees and 52 lakh
pensioners.

Merge DA with Pay - view of 7 CPC member
Pay and pension revision recommendations are scheduled to take effect from January 1
Member of the Seventh Central Pay Commission Rathin Roy has suggested that to meet its fiscal deficit target the Government should merge the basic pay and dearness allowance (DA) of central government employees in the current year and defer implementing any real increases in pay and pensions. This, the member has said, could be done by compensating those who would have to bear the burden of the deferred effect by giving them a “more generous award distributed over several years”.
“I am saying that the increment need not all be given at one go... It can be staggered and made more generous… So this could be done for pay and for pension,” Dr. Roy told The Hindu in an exclusive interview. “Now I am not competent to say whether this is politically feasible or not,” he, however, added.
Last month, the Union Cabinet set up an empowered committee of secretaries under the Cabinet Secretary for processing the recommendations of the Commission.
The pay and pension revision recommendations of the Commission are scheduled to take effect from January 1, 2016, but Dr. Roy, who is also the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy’s Director, has suggested that the implementation should be pushed to April 1.
What they should get, from April 1, 2016, is what they would get if we merge the basic pay and the DA, which is more or less what they are already getting, he said. “That will mean some increase in allowances but other than house rent allowance the burden of that [on the government budget] will not be very high.” He has also recommended that the Government defer allowances, principally the house rent allowance. “The case for that is strong because we are in the midst of fairly flat growth in consumption expenditure and rents are not going up much.”
Ahead of the presentation of Union Budget 2016-17, the Government is considering options for keeping the fiscal deficit for the next year within the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management target. The Government’s fiscal deficit in 2008-09, the year the Sixth Central Pay Commission award was implemented, doubled to 6 per cent, though not all of the increase was on account of the pay and pension hikes. Currently, Central government pay and allowances account for 1 per cent of the country’s GDP.
The Seventh Pay Commission, which submitted its report in November 2015, estimated that the total financial impact due to the hike in pay and allowances of central government employees recommended by it would be Rs 1,02,100 crore. Of this, Rs 73,650 crore will be borne by the General Budget and Rs. 28,450 crore by the Railway Budget. The Commission was set up by the UPA government in February 2014 to recommend revisions of remuneration for 48 lakh central government employees and 55 lakh pensioners.

Process to examine the recommendations made in the report of the 7th CPC
No. CHQ/AIAIASP/7CPC-Memorandum/2014 dated : 7/12/2015
To,
Shri Surender Kumar,
Asst. Director General (GDS/PCC)
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi 110 001.
Subject : Process to examine the recommendations made in the report of the 7th CPC.
Ref. : Your letter No. 7-1/2015-PCC dated 26/11/2015
Respected Sir,
IP/ASP Association submits following comments on the recommendations of 7th CPC as far as issues related to the IP/ASP cadre are concerned.
1. This Association would like to bring to your kind notice that, as per the directions from 7th CPC this Association has submitted its Memorandum to the Secretary, 7th Central Pay Commission, PO Box No – 4599, Hauz Khas Post Office, New Delhi-110016 under letter of even number dated 1st July 2014. Hon’ble 7th CPC permitted this Association for personal discussion on 7/11/2014 held at Mumbai in which this Association has elaborated the following issues before them in detailed and therefore 7CPC has submitted their recommendations (para 11.8.21) that “Inspector (Posts) who are presently in GP 4200/- should be upgraded to GP 4600/-. With this upgradation, Inspector (Posts) shall come to lie in an identical grade pay as that of their promotion post of Assistant Superintendents Posts (ASPOs). A higher grade would thus need to be extended to ASPOs. Accordingly, the Commission recommends that the promotional post of ASPOs be placed in the next higher GP 4800 and further, the post of Superintendents (Posts), which is presently in the GP 4800, be moved up to GP 5400 (PB-2)”.
2. This Association would like to bring the following some of the issues related to cadre discussed in earlier pay commission.
a) As recommended by the fifth CPC the Government has introduced Direct Recruitment at the level of Inspectors through Staff Selection Commission for 33.33% of the posts. On the introduction of direct recruitment, the Inspectors of Post Offices are brought on par with Inspectors of CBDT/CBEC and Assistants in CSS without there being any perceptible functional differences, in the matter of duties and responsibilities or in the hierarchical status.
b) The reports of successive Pay Commissions also vouchsafe that the duties performed by the Inspectors and Assistant Superintendents Posts are more arduous in nature calling for due recognition. The fifth CPC has also observed that neglect of this cadre has been costly (para 30.16 of Volume I of V CPC, Annexure-7). The Government has also accepted the recommendations of successive Pay Commissions to introduce an element of direct recruitment at the level of Inspectors Posts and accordingly the Department has implemented this by earmarking 33.33% for direct recruits selected through Staff Selection Commission.
c) Hitherto the Inspectors Posts were treated on par with Inspectors in other Central Govt. Departments and the fifth Pay Commission in their report recommended uniform pay scale for Inspectors in all the Central Govt. Departments viz. 5500-175-9000. But the Central Govt. has revised the pay scales of Inspectors in Income Tax Department, Central Excise etc. from Rs. 5500-175-9000 to Rs. 6500-200-10500 with effect from 21/4/2004, deviating from its avowed policy that any pay revision for any cadre must also take into account the departmental relativities and revision of pay scales of all those on analogous pay scales.
d) The Sixth Pay Commission also in para 7.6.14 also upheld the views of 5th CPC and recommended :
“ Postal Inspectors in Department of Posts have demanded a higher Pay of Rs.6500 – 10500 on par with Inspectors and analogues posts in CBDT/CBEC as well as Assistants of Central Secretariat Service (CSS) on the ground that they are recruited through the same examination. The Commission is recommending the merger of pre revised pay scales of Rs. 5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 which will automatically bring Inspector (Posts) on par with Assistants in CSS/ Inspectors and analogues posts in CBDT and CBEC. With this upgradation Inspector (Posts) shall come to lie with an identical pay scale of as that of their promotion posts of Asst. Supdt. Posts (ASP). ASPOs shall accordingly be placed in the next higher pay scale of Rs. 7450-11500 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs. 8700- 34800 along with Grade Pay of Rs.4600/. ”
e) The 5th Central Pay Commission reiterated its recommendation that Inspectors of Post Offices and RMS should be merged and upgraded to Rs. 1640-2900 (Rs. 5500-9000 revised) and filled 33.1/3rd% by direct recruitment from the Inspectors' Grade examination of Staff Selection Commission. The scale of pay of Inspector of Post Offices/ Inspector of RMS was revised to Rs.5500-9000 with effect from 01-01-1996 as recommended by the 5th Central Pay Commission as per Office Memorandum dated 06-04-1998. The scale of pay of Rs.5500-9000 granted to the Inspector of Posts which was equivalent to the scale of pay granted to the Inspectors and analogous posts in CBDT/CBEC and Assistants in CSS.
f) The pay scales of the post of Income Tax Inspectors under Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and Posts of Inspector of Central Excise were revised from Rs.5500-9000 to Rs. 6500-10500 as per Office Memorandum dated 21-04-2004. The pay scale of the analogous posts of Assistants/PA's in Central Secretariat Service (CSS) and Central Secretariat Stenographers Service (CSSS) was also upgraded from Rs.5500-9000 to the scale of Rs. 6500-200-10500 w.e.f 15.09.2006 as per Office Memorandum dated 25-09-2006. However, the pay scale of the Inspector of Post/Inspector of RMS under the Department of Posts has not been upgraded to the scale of Rs. 6500-200-10500 without any justifiable reasons.
g) Being aggrieved by the denial of the upgraded scale of Rs. 6500-200-10500 to the Inspector of Posts/ Inspector of RMS made admissible to the analogous posts in CBDT/CBEC/ CSS/CSSS some Inspectors of Posts working under Karnataka Circle filed O.A Nos. 424/2006 and 211 of 2007 before the Hon'ble Central Administrative Tribunal Bangalore Bench seeking to direct the respondents to grant the upgraded scale of Rs 6500-200-10500 granted to Inspectors of Income Tax/ Inspector of Central Excise and Customs etc. Since the 6th Central Pay Commission was constituted at that time, the above two O.A's were disposed of by a Common Order dated 27-07-2007 directing the respondents and the applicants to take up the issue before the Sixth pay commission with all necessary details for their consideration and appropriate decision. Accordingly, All India RMS Assistant Superintendents and Inspectors Association filed a Memorandum before the Sixth Central Pay Commission requesting to recommend upgraded pay scale granted to Inspectors of Central Excise and Inspectors of Income Tax and other analogous posts in CBDT/CBEC and Assistants in CSS.
h) Sixth Central Pay Commission in its Report recommended the Merger of pre-revised pay scales of Rs. 5500-9000 and Rs. 6500-10500 which will automatically bring Inspector Posts on par with Inspectors and analogous posts in CBDT and CBEC and Assistants in CSS and with that upgradation the Inspector Post shall come to lie in an identical pay scale as that of their Promotion post of Assistant Superintendent of Posts and ASPO's shall accordingly be placed in the next higher pay scale of Rs. 7450-11500 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs. 8700-34800 alongwith Grade Pay of Rs. 4600. This Recommendation has been accepted by the Central Government with modification as a package. It is submitted that the existing pay Scale of Inspector of Posts was upgraded to Rs. 6500-10500 and to the corresponding scale in revised Pay Band of PB-2 of Rs. 8700-34800 with Grade Pay of Rs. 4200. PB-2 scale of Rs. 8700-34800 has been accepted enhancing the initial start to PB-2 Rs. 9300-34800 as evidenced by Ministry of Finance Resolution dated 29-08-2008.
i) The revised pay scales have been brought into force with effect from 01-01-2006. Thus the analogous posts of Inspector Posts and Inspector of CBDT/CBEC and Assistants in CSS were brought in the same Pay Band/Scale of PB-2 Rs. 9300-34800 with the same corresponding Grade Pay of Rs. 4200/- w.e.f 01.01.2006. Subsequently, Ministry of Finance issued O.M. dated 13-11-2009 ordering that the posts which were in the pre-revised scale of Rs. 6500-10500 as on 01-01-2006 and which were granted the normal replacement pay structure of Grade Pay of Rs. 4200/- in the Pay Band PB-2, will be granted Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- in the Pay Band PB-2 corresponding the pre-revised scale of Rs. 7450-11500 with effect from 01-01-2006. It has been further ordered that in terms of the provisions of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, in case a post already existed in the pre-revised scale of Rs. 7450-11500, the post being upgraded from the scale of Rs. 6500-10500 should be merged with the scale of Rs. 7450-11500.
j) In implementation of MOF O.M. dated 13-11-2009 the Inspectors & Analogous Posts of CBDT / CBEC & Assistants CSS have been allowed the benefit of re-fixation of pay. But the Inspectors of Posts were conveniently omitted from the above upgradation and consequential benefits.
k) Thereafter, Department of Posts submitted proposal to the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance for extending the benefit of MOF OM dated 13.11.09 and 16.11.09 clearly stating that pay scale of Inspector Posts was Rs.6500-10500 as on 01.01.2006 and that the parity agreed to in the pay scales of Inspector Posts with Assistants (CSS) and Inspectors CBDT/CBEC has been disturbed. It was categorically mentioned that Inspector Posts were holders of pay scale of Rs.9300-34800 (Pre-revised pay scale of Rs.6500-10500) in the light of recommendation of 6th CPC in para 7.6.14 placing Inspector Posts at par with Assistants and Inspectors of CBDT/CBEC and as such they are entitled to the revised grade pay of Rs.4600/- on a par with Inspectors CBDT/CBEC and Assistants. In the combined proposal made by the Department of Posts for Grade pay of Inspector Posts, Assistant Superintendent of Posts and Superintendents of Posts demanding Grade pay of Rs.4600, Rs.4800 and Rs.5400 respectively. However, the proposal was rejected by the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance stating that either on the basis of functional justification offered by the Department of Post, or on account of any pre-revising relativities, it is not feasible for the Department of Expenditure to agree with the proposal of the Department of Posts to upgrade the pay scale of Inspectors (posts) and accordingly, Inspectors (Posts) may be placed in the revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs. 4200/- in the pay band of PB-2 as per UO No. 10/1/2010-IC dated 08-03-2010.
l) Aggrieved by the non-sanctioning of Grade Pay of Rs 4600/- to the post of Inspector (Posts), some Inspector Posts filed O.A No. 381 of 2010 before Hon'ble Tribunal at Ernakulam seeking to declare that the Inspector Posts are legally eligible and entitled to the Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- in the Pay Band PB-2 which has been granted by way of normal replacement pay structure of Grade Pay of Rs. 4200/- in the Pay Band PB-2 in terms of MOF Office Memorandum dated 13.11.2009 & 16.11.2009.
m) The O.A No. 381 of 2010 was finally heard and allowed by Order dated 18-10-2011 holding that rejection of grade pay of Rs.4600 to Inspector Posts by the Ministry of Finance does not appear to have taken into account the clear recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission or for that matter the full justification given by the Department of Posts. It has been further held in the judgement that
"By virtue of merger of pay scales of Rs. 5500-9000 to Rs. 6500-10500, the same would automatically bring Inspector (Posts) on a par with Assistants in CSS/Inspectors in analogous posts in CBDT and CBEC, what it meant was that from hence, Inspector (Posts) would sail in the same boat as his counterparts in the Income Tax Department or Central Excise or Customs Department or for that matter the Assistants the CSS. The difference in grade pay is not one created by the Pay Commission but the same is due to the fact that as last as in 2009, it is the Government of India which had raised grade pay of the pay scale of Rs. 6500-10500 that existed as on 01-01-2006 vide Order dated 13-11-2009, whereby posts which were in the pre-revised scale of Rs. 6500-10500 as on 01-01-2006 and which were granted the normal replacement pay structure of grade pay of RS. 4200/- in the pay band PB-2 will be granted grade pay of Rs. 4600 in the pay band PB-2 corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale of Rs. 7450-11500 with effect from 01-01-2006. And, if a post already existed in the pre-revised scale of Rs. 7450-11500, the post being upgraded from the scale of pay of Rs. 6500-10500 should be merged with the post in the scale of pay of Rs. 7450-11500/-. In fact, had the above enhancement in the grade pay been recommended by the pay commission, it would not have been omitted to consider such an increase in the grade pay of Inspector (Post) as well".
n) The Hon'ble Tribunal further held that there is no justification in denying the Inspector (Posts) the higher Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- when the same is made admissible to Inspectors of other Departments with whom parity has been established by the Sixth Pay Commission as per its report at para 7.6.14. Accordingly, this Hon'ble Tribunal directed the Ministry of Finance to reconsider the matter keeping in tune with the observations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission coupled with the strong recommendations of the Department of Posts and also in the light of the discussions in the above Order at the level of Secretary and to consider the case of the Inspector (Posts) for upgradation of their grade pay at par with that of the Inspector of Income Tax, CBDT and CBEC.
o) In implementation of Hon’ble CAT Ernakulam order dated 18.10.2011, Department of Post recommended the following proposal for grant of Grade Pay of Rs.4600 to Inspector Posts after concurrence of its Integrated Finance Wing :
The hierarchical difference i.e. non-availability of intermediary cadre like Assistant Superintendent posts in CBDT/CBEC and CSSS can be resolved by allowing Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- to Inspector Post in the Department of Post (a GCS Group B Non-gazetted post) and retaining its promotional cadre of Assistant Superintendent of Posts (a GCS Group B gazetted post) also in the identical grade pay of Rs. 4600. In the Accounts cadre, the cadre Accounts Officer is in grade pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB-2. Its promotional post of Senior AO is in grade pay of Rs. 5400 in PB-3 and its further promotional post of ACAO also is in grade pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB-3. This would not thereby involve upgradation of grade pay of Assistant Superintendent of Posts and PS Group B.
p) On rejecting the claim of the Inspector Posts cadre for the GP of Rs. 4600, this Association challenged again by filing one more OA no. 289/13 before Hon’ble CAT Ernakulam Bench. The said OA was allowed and judgment delivered on 16th October 2015 directing the respondent No. 1 i.e. MoF to make appropriate recommendations of pay of Inspector Posts to 7CPC. It is also directed to consider the matter as directed by CAT Ernakulam in OA No. 381/2010 and proposal and justification submitted by DOP.
Demand 1.
In view of the above, this Association states that the recommendations given by 7CPC vide para No. 11.8.21 for Inspector cadre may be implemented in toto.
3. Pay fixation to Assistant Manager MMS / Dy. Manager MMS:
a) 7CPC in its reports nothing is mentioned about Assistant Manager MMS and Dy. Manager MMS. In para No. 11.8.19 Assistant Manager MMS are shown equal hierarchy with Assistant Superintend Posts. Presently, GP of AMM is Rs. 4600 and GP of Dy. Manager MMS is Rs. 4800.
b) 6CPC in para No. 7.6.14 stated that Postal Inspectors in Department of Posts have demanded a higher pay scale of Rs. 6500-10500 on par with Inspectors and analogous posts in CBDT/CBEC as well as Assistants of Central Secretariat Service (CSS) on the ground that they are recruited through the same competition. The Commission is recommending the merger of pre-revised pay scales of Rs. 5500-9000 and Rs. 6500-10500 which will automatically bring Inspector (Posts) in CBDT and CBEC. With this Upgradation, Inspector (Posts) shall come to lie in an identical pay scale as that of their promotion post of Assistant Superintendent (Posts)[ASPOs]. ASPOs shall, accordingly, be placed in the next higher pay scale of Rs. 7450-11500 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs. 8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs. 4600. The next higher post in the hierarchy, that of Superintendent (Posts), which is also a promotion post for ASPOs shall be placed in the pay scale of Rs. 7500-12000 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs. 8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs. 4800. Parity exists between the posts of Inspector (Posts) and Inspectors in Mail Motor Service (MMS). This parity would need to be maintained and Assistant Managers, Mail Motor Service shall be placed in the higher grade of Rs. 7450-11500 whose corresponding pay band and grade pay is PB-2 of Rs. 8700-34800 along with a grade pay of Rs. 4600. Similarly, Manager, Mail Motor Service shall be placed in PB-2 pay band of Rs. 8700-34800 along with a grade pay of Rs. 4800 which corresponds to the pre-revised pay scale of Rs. 7500-12000.
Demand 2.
c) In view of (b) above, this Association requests that the GP of AMM should be upgraded to Rs. 4800/- as equal to ASP and GP of Dy. Manager may be considered from existing Rs. 4800 to Rs. 5400 (PB-2). There is further no promotion to Dy. Manager MMS in the cadre.
4. Principles of Pay Determinations :
This Association would like to point out the following regarding pay fixation etc:
Issue 1 :
7th CPC has demanded at para 4.1.9 that “the levels have been rationalised too, displaying a logical progression. Employees would be able to see their level, where they fit in and how they are likely to progress over their career span”.
But it is seen that neither the levels have been rationalised nor logical progression is seen as far as the Level 7 and 8 in the career span.
7th CPC demanded at para 4.1.11 that “ the pay matrix addresses the important issues of adequacy of the compensation structures. The commission observes that the purpose of pay is to compensate the employees for work done, to motivate them to perform well. The purposes also include attracting talent to Govt. Services and also retaining them.”
But what will be the motivation of an employee when he/she is promoted from Level- 6 to Level-7 or from Level- 7 to Level-8 in the sense that Basic Pay after adding 3% in the Level-6 (or Level-7 ) remains thesame in the next Level-7( or Level-8 ). In other words, one promotion happens to be equivalent to one increment only as far as the quantum of Basic Pay is concerned.
Examples:
Case1: When promoted from GP 4200 (Level-6) to GP 4600 (Level-7)
Suppose Mr X having Basic Pay(BP) Rs 49000 in Level-6 is promoted to Level -7 .
Now , 49000 + 3% of 49000 = 49000 + 1470 = 50470 = 50500 (after rounding off multiple of 100)
Since exact figure 50500 exists in the column of Level-7 of Pay Matrix in para 5.1.25,
BP of Mr X will be in Level-7(4600) = Rs 50500 ----------------- (A) say
If Mr X having Basic Pay (BP) Rs 49000 is not promoted from Level-6 then he will get one 3% increment on the date of increment( 1st July 2016) as usual and his BP will be the very next figure of the Column of Level-6 (4200) which is = Rs 50500 ----------------(B) say
=> (A) = (B)
=> one promotion is exactly equivalent to one increment.
This will happen not only for 49000 at Level-6 but also for each cell of the Column corresponding to Level-6(4200) of the Pay Matrix starting from 44900 i.e. for 44900, 46200, 47600, 49000, 50500, 52000, 53600, 55200, 56900, 58600,60400, 62200 and the figure of each cell onwards, since the starting figure in Level-7(4600) is 44900.
Case2 : When promoted from GP 4600 (Level-7) to GP 4800 (Level-8)
Suppose Mr Y having Basic Pay(BP) Rs 49000 in Level-7(4600) is promoted to Level -8(4800) .
Now , 49000 + 3% of 49000 = 49000 + 1470 = 50470 = 50500 (after rounding off multiple of 100)
Since exact figure 50500 exists in the column of Level-8(4800) of Pay Matrix in para 5.1.25,
BP of Mr Y will be in Level-8(4800) = Rs 50500 ----------------- (C) say
If Mr Y having BP Rs 49000 is not promoted from Level-7(4600) then he will get one 3% increment on the date of increment( 1st July 2016) as usual and his BP will be the very next figure of the Column of Level-7 (4600) which is = Rs 50500 ----------------(D) say
=> (C) = (D)
=> one promotion is exactly equivalent to one increment.
This will happen not only for 49000 at Level-7 but also for each cell of the Column corresponding to Level-7(4600) of the Pay Matrix starting from 47600 i.e. for 47600, 49000, 50500, 52000, 53600, 55200, 56900, 58600,60400, 62200 and the figure of each cell onwards, since the starting figure in Level-8(4800) is 47600.
Explanation : This is happening because of the rationalisation index is same (i.e. 2.62) for Level-6,Level-7 and Level-8.
In General, Level-7(4600) is the sub set of Level-6(4200)
and Level-8( 4800) is the sub set of Level-7(4600)
as far as the cell value of the Pay Matrix of para 5.1.25 is
concerned.
Para 4.1.19 reveals that the rationalisation index has been applied on the basis of qualification, skill set required as well as roles and responsibilities at various levels. But the Commission did not find any justification for very little higher index at the level of GP 4600, 4800 and 5400(PB-2) though they are the base level managerial cadre and the total structure revolves round their performances and historically, promotional BP was found to be always greater than Incremental BP.
Demand 3:
Slightly higher index is to be fixed at each level of GP 4600 (for Inspector Posts) and 4800 (for Asstt Supdt Posts) -------------(D1), say
or
in case of Promotion/upgradation, whenever BP in the lower ‘Level’ is found to be same in the higher ‘Level’ i.e. promotional ‘Level’, the BP in the higher ‘Level’ is to be fixed in the immediate next stage i.e. in the next row figure of the concerned higher ‘Level’ - ----------------(D2), say
to see the logical progression , for motivation to perform well, to attract talent and to retain them.
For example of D1 :
Let us assume that the rationalisation index for Level-7(4600) is = 2.64 and
the rationalisation index for Level-8(4800) is = 2.66 -------------------------(AA)

Hence , it evident from the Table -2 that -
BP of Mr. X in Level-7(4600) will be = Rs 49400 in case of “Case1” above
and BP of Mr. Y in Level-8(4800) will be = Rs 49700 in case of “Case2” above.
ð When the index is slightly higher for Level-7(4600) and Level-8(4800) , Promotional BP will not be equal to the Incremental BP rather little more which is historically true and justified expectation that everyone in the base level managers i.e, IP and ASPs
For example of D2 :
Let us assume that the rationalisation index for Level-7(4600) is = 2.62 and
the rationalisation index for Level-8(4800) is = 2.62 i.e. Index remains unchanged.

Hence, if D2 holds true then
BP of Mr. X in Level-7(4600) will be = next row figure of 49000 in Level-7(4600)
= 50500 in case of “Case1” above.
And
BP of Mr. Y in Level-8(4800) will be = next row figure of 49000 in Level-8(4800)
= 50500 in case of “Case2” above.
ð In case of promotion/upgradation from Level-6(4200) to Level-7(4600) , if BP in Level-6(4200) is found to be same as that of Level-7(4600) then BP in the Level-7(4600) is to be fixed in the very next stage i.e. in the very next row figure of pay matrix. And
In case of promotion/upgradation from Level-7(4600) to Level-8(4800), if
BP in Level-7(4600) is found to be same as that of Level-8(4800) then BP in
the Level-8(4800) is to be fixed in the very next stage i.e. in the very next
row figure of pay matrix.
Issue 2:
The 7CPC has recommended the multiplication factor 2.57 (= 18000/7000) on the basis of minimum pay of Rs 18000 shown in the annexure of Chapter 4.2 where 7000 is the minimum pay after implementation of 6th pay commission.
Now, if we analyse the calculations made in the “Annexure of Chapter 4.2(page No. 65)” to arrive at the minimum pay of Rs 18000, we will find that the commission has adopted the two methods, to increase the given number w r t certain percentage, namely –
Suppose, the given no. is 100 and the 20% is to be increased .
Method-1 :
100
( Adding 20% of 100 = 100X 0.20 = ) + 20
120
Here the “base” is taken as 100.
Method-2 :
Here 100 is divided by 0.80 to arrive at a total, of which 20%provides the increase i. e.
100
(20% of 125 =) + 25
(100 Divided by 0.80 ) = 125
Here the “base” is taken as 125.
Now in both the methods of calculations the % of increase is same (20%), but with respect to what i.e. Base is different. That is why, the net effect is coming to different figure namely 120 and 125 in Method-1 and Method-2 respectively.
Out of total 5 cases of % of increase the commission has applied Method-2 in 3 cases and Method-1 in 2 cases without giving any justification for choosing the particular Method of calculation for a particular case of % of increase. The Commission has applied Method-2 in 3 cases out of 5 cases which implies that the Commission is more inclined to adopting Method-2.
Hence it will not be any wrong and should be acceptable to Govt to apply Method-2 for all 5 cases as far as the mathematical calculation is concerned. -----------------(A1) say
Here the 5 cases of % of increase ( in Chapter 4.2) are -
i) Fuel, Electricity, Water Charges : 20% ( fixed by 15th ILC, 1957)
ii) Marriage, Recreation, Festivals etc : 15%( taken by 7th CPC in lieu of
25% )
iii) Skill factor : 25% (adopted by 6th CPC and also
retained by 7th CPC)
iv) House Rent : 3%( Moderated from 7.5% as per
15th ILC norm)
v) DA increase : 3% (being the 50% of DA i.e. 6%
on 01.01.2016)
Approach-1:
Now let us calculate the minimum pay on the basis of A1 above in the following Table-MP1.

Now in both the cases Approach -1 and Approach-2 the minimum pay is found to be Rs 20000.
So the multiplication factor should be 20000/7000 = 2.857 = 2.86 ( after rounding off)
Demand 4:
Minimum pay should be Rs 20000 on the basis of either of the two Approaches and thereby the multiplication factor should be Minimum 2.86.
