Uniform Fitment Factor recommended by 7th Pay Commission
The existing PB-1, this index is 2.57, increasing to 2.62 for personnel in PB-2 and further to 2.67 from PB-3. The rationalised entry pay so arrived has been used in devising the new pay matrix.
The 7th Pay Commission recommended uniform fitment factor for all group of Central Government employees. The commission says that the fitment recommended by the VI CPC was in the form of grade pay. Any inconsistency in the computation of grade pay or in the spacing between pay bands has a direct bearing on the quantum of fitment benefit. Therefore, these issues have also been raised by numerous stakeholders. It has been demanded by a majority of the stakeholders that there should be a single fitment factor which should be uniformly applied for all employees.
The 6th CPC had mentioned that grade pay would be equivalent to 40 percent of the maximum of the pre-revised scale and that the grade pay will constitute the actual fitment, yet the computation varied greatly. After the implementation of recommendations, the difference became more pronounced in Pay Band 4 as compared to the other three pay bands. This resulted in varying fitment factors for various levels and promotional benefits that were perceived to be rather differentiated. The same pattern was discernible in the pension fixation too.
And also explained in its report that the starting point for the first level of the matrix has been set at Rs.18,000. This corresponds to the starting pay of Rs.7,000, which is the beginning of PB-1 viz., Rs.5,200 + GP1800, which prevailed on 01.01.2006, the date of implementation of the VI CPCrecommendations. Hence the starting point now proposed is 2.57 times of what was prevailing on 01.01.2006. 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 of the new pay. Accordingly, the actual raise/fitment being recommended is 14.29 percent.
Finally, 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 7th CPC has miserably failed to show the acumen ship and come up anywhere near to the standard of earlier pay commissions. It has miserably failed to satisfy any class or category of employees. however, as has been ever been done, this time too, they fairly cared for IAS lobby as majority of the members were there in the pay commission. as members. This pay commission has totally failed to realise, and analyse the justification of the allowances requirements and blatantly recommended most of them to be withdrawn/abolition. The Honourable chairman and all the members failed to realise that all the earlier chairmen and members of all the previous pay commission were equally or even more intelligent persons than what they think are and who never tried to wrong the employees to the extant as has been this time.
Further, it is seen that this pay commission has caused greatest harms to the armed forces by recommending to abolish or withdraw many allowances like ration money and similar other allowances. If it were to be done, it is better not to have any pay commission and waste crore of rupees on it. instead the Govt. itself can merge the da in basic pay as and when it want and consider to increase any other allowances. whether, this job is done by pay commission or govt., it has to be in the name of govt. only. if it is not up to the satisfaction of govt.. servants, the bad name goes to the govt. and none else.

The Pay Commission recommendations are generally OK but two things are most disturbing for the Govt. Finances which will lead to high inflation, high increase in prices of all coomodities and adverse effect on industry which ultimately will have highly adverse impact on common man and the employees working in the private sector where there is no expectation of the corresponding rise in income and thus they will be badly effected with the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission Report throughout whole of the Nation. One is the increase in the gross salaries of a few Govt. employees to the extent of about 30 to 35% and another is enhancement of the limit of Gratuity from the present Rs. 10,00,000/- to Rs. 20,00,000/-. Both these will have highly adverse impact on Govt. Finances and the Industry as a whole. The enhancement of Gratuity ceiling to Rs. 20 Lacs is more disturbing at this stage. This could have been taken up atleast five years later on because sometime back the ceiling was raised from Rs.3.00 Lacs to Rs. 10.00 Lacs and again its enhance ment has been recommended. Govt. should think over this recommendation before accepting. This could have been reduced to a greater extent in case the retirement issue which was circulating in the media for the last several months. in case it was addressed perfectly, there would have been manifold benefits to the nation as mentioned below :–
1) . The formula for retirement age which was circulating in the Media that commission is going to recommend completion of 33 years of service of 58 years of age whichever is falling earlier as the retirement age criteria for the Govt. employees—— with this there would have been lot of employment generation for the young as
well as qualified young people and problem of unemployment would have been addressed to a larger extent.
2) With the retirement of large number of employees, the Govt. Finances would not hurt more as the Govt. could have hired the retired employees on contract basis on requirement basis with allmost i/3 or 1/4 of salary and perks of the existing employee.
3) The entry level Pay of the new recruitees would have been much lessor than the existing employees and even the new recruitees will be more qualified in terms of educational qualifications and technology. So far as experience is concerned, there os no work in the Govt. which a new qualified person can not do even after a on the job practice within a weeks time. Thus, there is no problem of expetise.
I hope these suggestions will be forwarded to the Finance Minister and the Prime Minister for their consideration in the interest of the nation and the general public as a whole and the industrial workers and private sector employees where there is no hope for the increase of their wages untill and unless Govt. intervenes..

Om prakash mishra says
7th cpc has adopted different factors ranging from 2.57 to 2.82 for determining entry level pays of various levels saying it is for rationalization. But in doing so few levels ( especially levels above 13th) are getting increase upto 25% as against 14.3% for others. It is discrimination. Besides, for many levels , factor to determine entry pay is higher than factor for fitment, thus within same level juniors get increase upto 21% whereas seniors get increase of only 14.3%. Therefore it is suggested that for uniformity a common factor of 2.7 ( or higher) to be adopted for all levels and same factor to be used for both the purposes i.e for determining entry pays aswell as for fixing/fitment. The increase from 2.57 to 2.7 is only 5% , but employees of all levels will get increase of 20% uniformly . Moreover the ratio ( lowest pay : highest pay) as in 6th cpc ( 7000 : 90000 :: 12.85) will remain unchanged to now ( 18900 : 243000 :: 12.85). Govt. may look into it and consider common factor more than 2.7.
(2) Another observation is about OROP , here
fitment to next value in matrix is not allowed , if it is real OROP the methodology to be same as for serving employees.

It found from the pay matrix suggested by 7th CPC give some Anatoly. An official recruited 34 years back on present days 5400 basic pay ( level 10) is going to be fixed at 1,48,600 basic pay with out accepting any promotion in his continuous service. The same officer after 3 promotions reaching present grade of 8700 is going be fixed at 1,41,600 only with seven increments ( 54440 multi field by 2.57). Is it punishment for him for accepting three promotions in 34 years service. Is it not an anomaly. As per the OROP suggested for civil employees, he may accept a lower grade and opt for his higher basic. Please clarify this doubt.
A Shajimon says
The pension recommendation is very worst & without any logic. Personnel retiring after 01.01.2016 will get less pension than before 01.01.2016. For example my BP+GP is 18890 in pb2 & I will get Rs. 17473.00 incl DA after commutation. But after implementing 7th com my pay will be fixed at 50500 & I will get Rs. 15150.00 as pension. So this factor should be taken care off & at least above 60% pension should have been recommended instead of 50%.
