If an employee drawing basic pay Rs.15500 in 4200 Grade Pay, his pay will be fixed on 1.1.2016 as per the recommendations of 7th pay commission as follows…
15500 x 2.57 = 39835
And his pay will be fixed, equal or higher cell value of the result in the pay matrix level 6. His pay will be fixed Rs.39900.

What is Fitment Factor or Fitment Benefit?
Fitment Factor is a common multiplication number, which is used for arriving a common result. More than 30 lakh employees are working in Central Government Services.
The 6th Pay Commission recommended 1.86 as Fitment Factor in its report. Whereas, the 7th Pay Commission has recommended common fitment benefit applied for all employees as 2.57.
Fitment Factor in 7th CPC: The starting point for the first level of the matrix has been set at 18,000. This corresponds to the present starting pay of 7,000, which is the beginning of PB-1 viz., 5200 + GP 1800, on the date of implementation of the VI CPC recommendations.
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.
The starting point of a Sepoy (and equivalent), the entry level personnel in the defence forces, has been fixed in the Defence Pay Matrix at 21,700. The starting point in the existing pay structure is 8,460 for a Sepoy/equivalent.
The fitment in the new matrix is essentially a multiple factor of 2.57. This multiple is the ratio of the new minimum pay arrived at by the Commission (18,000) and the existing minimum pay (7,000). The fitment factor is being applied uniformly to all employees.
It includes a factor of 2.25 to account for DA neutralisation, assuming that the rate of Dearness Allowance would be 125 percent at the time of implementation of the new pay as on 01.01.2016. The actual raise/fitment being recommended by the Commission is 14.29 percent. An identical fitment of 2.57 has also been applied to the existing rates of Military Service Pay (MSP), applicable to defence forces personnel only.
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.
7th Pay Commission Fitment Table : National Council JCM Staff Side suggested in their memorandum regarding fitment formula as follows…
Fitment Formula
The fitment formula suggested by all the earlier Pay Commissions was not reflective of the actual revision of wages. The employees who were on rolls on the date of implementation of the Commission’s recommendation comparatively received lesser benefit than the new entrants.
Amongst the existing employees also, more benefit accrued to persons with lesser service period. This happened due to the rejection of the demand of the Staff Side to have point to point fixation.
The anomalous situation was addressed during the discussion the Staff Side had with the Group of Ministers in September 1997, over the implementation of the recommendations of the 5th CPC.
In the place of 20% of the basic pay recommended by the 5th CPC as fitment formula the Staff Side could negotiate and settle it at 40%. The said agreement brought about near total satisfaction over the revision benefit amongst all sections of employees.
The said 40% benefit brought about uniform multiplication factor too.
Taking these in to consideration, we suggest that the multiplication factor (26000/7000 = 3.7) may be applied uniformly in all the cases to arrive at the revised pay in the new scale of pay.

My new basic pension as per Seventh Pay Commission is Rs. 22385/- +DA-Rs.4355/-. I had joined as LDC in Patent Office coming in Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion under Ministry of Commerce and Industry. My basic pay was fixed at Rs.19900/- (Grade Pay of Rs. 1900/-) plus all other allowances admissible to Central Government Servants. Please educate whether my basic pay fixed is correct or not and also how it can be rectified?

On 31.12.2005 my basic pay was Rs.11850/-. 6th CPC was implemented from 1.1.2006, was placed in the scale of Rs.8000/- to Rs 13500/-.(Gr.A). on 2.1.2006 I was promoted to the next scale of Rs.10000-/- to Rs.. 15600 and subsequently retired on 31.1.2006 . My basic basic pay was fixed at rs 29480/- including Rs.6600/- being grade pay.at the time of retirement . My date of increment falls in April. Hence i was deprived the benefit of one extra increment although DNI falls between February and June. I am not convinced on my fixation and find there is annomally in my case right from the implementation of 6th CPC. Requests redressal

Sir, One thing I want know about the fitment factor of 7th Pay Commission. As per government policy, government wants to decrease parity gap between upper class employee and lower class employee but 7th pay commission recommended and sanctioned by government that upper class employee upgraded by 3.81 fitment factor of their basic salary whereas lower class employee upgraded by 2.57 fitment factor which is increase the gap of salary between the above mentioned employees.
In view of the above explanation as per my view the Government do not want to decrease the gap between upper class employee and lower class employee otherwise Government should take action for the same.
sir , at the time of implementation of 7 th cpc the DA was 125% it is converted in to 100 +125 =225. the increase in pay was 14.29%. 225*14.29%= 32..15.
225+32.15=257.15
that is became 2.57
why the allowances were deprived for the people who retired between Jany 2016 to June 2017. However the perks and allowances payable out of public money to politicians were doubled/tthre times, the multiplication factor was not uniform for all cadres. Replace the factor by 2.75 as mentioned in the recommendations.
My basic on 1/1/16was 25610+6600(grade pay) then on 6/1/16i got an increment of family planning TT operation.
Now if new basic is calculated on basic on 1/1/16 then where will my increment go.
Should I add it after fixation in the new matrix.
Please respond as I am not getting any guidelines regarding this matter from anywhere.
Thanks
