Raising the existing rates of pension and Family pension : 7th CPC Recommendation

Now 50% of Last Pay drawn has been granted as Pension for retiring Government Servants.

Federations and Govt servants demanded 60% of Last Drawn Pay to be fixed for Monthly Pension and demanded to increase the family Pension from existing 30% to 50 %.

Pay commission : No need to recommend for further increase in the existing rates of pension and family pension from the existing levels

The Commission stated in its recommendation that it sought the views of the government in this regard.

The Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare stated in its response to the Pay commission that the VI CPC had recommended calculation of pension @ 50 percent of last pay or the average emoluments (for last 10 months) whichever is more beneficial.
