Chapter —VII
Proposed Pay Structure and Rate of Increment

In the preceding chapters we have dealt with the various principles of pay determination as was enunciated by the successive Pay Commissions. The 6 CPC introduced the new concept of Pay Band and Grade Pay. We are not able to comprehend any logical methodology having been adopted by the 6th CPC in constructing the Pay Band and Grade Pay. In the ultimate analysis, we found that there had been no uniform multiplication factor. It varied from 2.2 time to 3. The changes effected by the Government while implementing the recommendations of the 6th cpc further compounded the confusion and making t more irrational and arbitrary. The 6 cPC in their report stated that they have upgraded certain pay scales having appreciated the contention made by the employees organizations. They merged certain other pay scales in an effort to delayering the functions. But the new pay that emerged from such upgradation/merger was not equivalent to the higher pay scales in the said group. For instance, the erstwhile pay scales of Rs.5000-8000, 5500-9000 and 6500-10500 were merged. The multiplication factor for pay band construction was 1.86 times of the minimum. Therefore the pay band for the pre merged pay scales was determined to begin at Rs.9300/-. Having merged, the pay band must have begun at 12,090/-, i.e. 1.86 times of 6500/- in which the other pay scales were merged.

7.2 The manner in which the Grade pay was devised is also questionable. At the lower level the Grade Pay progresses @ Rs.100/- ,i.e. 1800, 1900, 2000, etc. The pay in the Band + Grade Pay at the entry level is 5200 + 1800 = 7000. An employee is entitled for 3% increment every year. He gets a financial benefit of Rs. 210 every year on account an increment whereas on promotion his grade pay gets increased by just Rs.100/. only. The Grade Pay was devised at 40% of the maximum of the pre revised time scale of pay. The maximum of any time scale of pay will depend upon the rate of increment and the span of the scale of pay. The ratio between the minimum and the maximum of all pay scales was not uniform, rather it could not be uniform. Therefore, prescribing Grade Pay as a percentage of such variable maximum, in our opinion, was erroneous. Normally fitment benefit represent the gap between pre revised minimum and the revised minimum. The 6th CPC recommendation of Grade Pay did not serve this purpose also. Having been expressed in absolute quantum amount it gave varied benefit in different pay bands as also at different stages in the same pay bands.

7.3 The Grade Pay system brought about various anomalies, which were raised at the NAC but found no resolution despite discussions on several occasions in the last 6 years. We are of the firm view that the 7” CPC should revert to the Pay Scale System which has been time tested. We have constructed the pay scales maintaining the relativities with the time scale of pay suggested by both 5’ and 6th cPC•

7.4 While constructing the pay scales we have taken the rate of increments at 5% instead of 3% presently available. We have done so on the ground that most of the PSUs including the banking industries provide the incremental rate at 5% and over a period of time it raises the salary level of the personnel. We therefore request that the 7th CPC may recommend the rate of annual increment at 5%. Incidentally we may also state that the uniform date of increment prescribed by the 6th CPC has encountered certain problems and anomalies. We, therefore, suggest that the 7th cpc may recommend, for administrative expediency, two specific dates as increment dates, Viz. 1st January and 1st  July. Those recruited/appointed/promoted during the period between l January and 30th June will have their increment date on 1stt January and those recruited/appointed/promoted between 1st July and 31st December will have it on 1st  July next year. This apart we request the Commission to specifically recommend that those who retire on 30th June or 31St December are granted one increment on the last day of their service.

7.5 We have also felt that a further reduction in the number of pay scales is needed. While constructing the pay scales we have removed those pay scales pertaining to Grade Pay of Rs.1900, 2400, 4600, 8700 and the scale of pay of Rs. 75500-80000. We are of the opinion that the instrument of Special Pay which was in operation earlier should be brought back to address the need of intermediary grades in certain organizations. The Associations and Federations representing the employees and officers of various departments and various categories will submit their memorandum indicating the pay scales to be assigned to the categories of the
employees and officers they represent taking into account the nature of functions assigned to those categories separately.

7.6 Presently, functional promotion is made to the next hierarchical position whereas MACP promotion ¡s Grade Pay based, irrespective of the fact whether a particular Grade Pay exist in the hierarchy or not in the concerned department. Our suggestion to reduce the number of pay scales go a great extent to obviate the difficulty encountered due to the dual system of promotion.

7.7 We have constructed open- ended pay scales. This is to ensure that no employee stagnates without increment. The pay of the Secretary and the Cabinet Secretary has been kept as a fixed amount as has been the recommendation of the 6th CPC. In consonance with our view on the need for further de-layering, we have suggested only 14 Pay scales indicating in the table the minimum of each of them. The said 14 pay scales are given below:

In Table 7.2, the corresponding pay scales of the 6” CPC recommended Grade Pay are given for reference.

  1. Age factor for 33yrs of service is good for cg employees.in iaf it should be implement and time limit for promotion\ extension only for deserving candidates who is eligible for promotion. Iaf should implement the policy like army for extension of service only on promotion. This is useful for org.

  2. What may be pension to those who are retiring on 31st December, 2015 I.e. one day before implementing of 7CPC recommendations. Can any body tell about the retirement benefits including pension.

  3. V THIRUGNANAM

    The clause of superanuation of 33 years service or 60 years of age whichever is early will affect thousands of people. this clause should be removed.

  4. dear sir
    may i suggest to upload table consisting of present pay and expected pay after proposed 7 pay commission pay scales implementation
    with regards
    uday
    retired central govt.officer

  5. What about the PS Cadre of Zonal Railway(Indian Railways)? They are still getting PB-2 in grade Rs.9300-34800 with GP-4800 after completion of 4 yrs.GP-5400 granted in PB-2 only. These PS of Zonal Rlys.are working in same PB-2 for the last 14 years without further avenue of promotion. Though 6CPC recommended parity between RBSSS & Zonal Rlys. PS, but the has not been implemented, hence we are the worst suffer in this category.

    It is mentioned that 7th Pay Commission will remove the Pay-Band & Grade-Pay System. If that be so, on what basis, the pay scales are going to be fixed? What about other benefits such as, Transport Allowance, etc.? Further, it is mentioned that those who join between 1st January and June, will be given the increment on 1st January and those who join between 1st July and December, will be given increment on 1st July. What about those join during the interregnum? Further, those who retire in June and December will be given one increment. What about others who retire during the interregnum? Could you kindly clarify please.

  9. There was error in 6th pay C for the scale of HM secondary schools. So organization filed appeal Aurangabad HC.decision was in favour of org but not emplimented yet. So injustice must be subsidised. And arreus must b given.

  10. For Administrative staff, Particularly for LDC, UDC and Accountant there should be extra two to three increment for higher qualification if the candidate is graduate and the required qualification for the job is 12th pass.

  11. ldc and udc employees are deserved to get more pay in the 7 cpc. this is undeniable.

  12. Plz upgrade qualified administrative staff according to their education qualification. Numbers of qualified MBA,MSc,Post Graduate employees working in admin. departments as on LDC or UDC posts Please upgrade according to their higher studies and give promotion after every completion of 5years & 7years services . Also provide same as technical staff grades.Why GFovt. of India treat admin. staff as a lower ,poor or type of useless staff provide only lower to lower salary scales.

  13. There is no any provision of MACP in Railways for loco pilots in 6 CPC .Goods,Passenger and Mail pilots having same GP. Please provide Sr goods cadre for loco pilots in 7CPC.
