7th Pay Commission Recommendations on Increment
What is the percentage for annual increment recommended in 7th pay commission?
3 percent. The 7th Central Pay Commission has recommended the rate of percentage of annual increment for Central Government employees is 3%.
How to calculate annual increment after 7th pay commission?
The amount of 3% of basic pay is equal to the annual increment. However, there is no need to calculate 3% of basic pay every year. The pay matrix table has already designed with an increment table for all pay levels. According to the pay level hierarchy, the next cell value is the basic pay with annual increment.
Annual increment every year – Promotion increment occasionally: Two types of increments are granting to CG Employees
7th Pay Increment Table
After the implementation of 7th pay commission to central government employees with effect from 1.1.2016, the calculation procedure of salary increment is made simple. The annual increment table has been designed for all pay levels in the new pay matrix table.
INCREMENT FOR CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
The 7th Pay Commission has recommended on the rate of annual increment is being retained at 3 percent (3%).
Date of Next Increment Rule
The date of the next increment rule is regulated by 10 of CCS (RP) Rules 2016 to all existing employees working in Central Government services. Very recently in November 2019, the Department of Expenditure issued a clarification order regarding the date of next increment will be 1st January or 1st July after promotion on 1st July.
Increment in Salary Every Year
The annual increment for government employees in India usually denotes a part of the salary hike in a year.
“Pay Hike (Pay Increment) is the most attractive word among employees working in Government Services”. Needless to say that the most powerful keyword among the Central government employees, because a pay hike once in a year consolidated according to their basic pay. It is also a consolation even they are not getting promotion for years.
Government employees are getting two types of increments, one annual increment and another one is promotional increment.
ANNUAL INCREMENT: Annual increment is grating to all group of Central Government employees on 1st January or 1st July of every year (previously in 6th CPC, there was one date for annual increment, 1st July of every year)
PROMOTIONAL INCREMENT: While fixation of pay on promotion or MACP, there will be an increment. That is called promotional increment.
INCREMENT DAY: 1st January or 1st July
LEAVE ON INCREMENT DAY – WHAT SAYS RULE?
As per the FR and SR Rules, If a Government employee is on leave, the increased pay will be drawn only from the date on which he resume duty.

Date of next increment in revised pay structure: There shall be two dates for grant of increment namely, 1st January and 1st July of every year, instead of existing date of 1st July.

INCREMENT DATE: 7th CPC recommended two dates (1st January and 1st July of every year) for granting increment to all CG Employees with effect from 1.1.2016. Provided that an employee shall be entitled to only one annual increment either on 1st January or 1st July depending on the date of his appointment, promotion or grant of financial upgradation.

Annual Increment Calculation Method
Increments in Pay Matrix: Annual Increment Calculation Method Prescribed by 7th Central Pay Commission as follows…
Illustration: An employee in the Basic Pay of 32300 in Level 4 will move vertically down the same Level in the cells and on grant of increment, his basic pay will be 33300.
GP | 1800 | 1900 | 2000 | 2400 | 2800 |
L | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
1 | 18000 | 19900 | 21700 | 25500 | 29200 |

10 | 23500 | 26000 | 28400 | 33300 | 38100 |
11 | 24200 | 26800 | 29300 | 34300 | 39200 |
What says FR 22(I)(a)1 Rules?
The rule provided options to an employee to fix his pay on promotion or MACP upgradation by two ways. One is date of promotion and another is date of increment (either 1st January or 1st July). [Click to read full story]
WITHHOLDING ANNUAL INCREMENTS OF NON-PERFORMERS AFTER 20 YEARS
There is a widespread perception that increments as well as upward movement in the hierarchy happen as a matter of course.
The perception is that grant of MACP, although subject to the employee attaining the laid down threshold of performance, is taken for granted.
This Commission believes that employees who do not meet the laid down performance criterion should not be allowed to earn future annual increments.
The Commission is therefore proposing withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service.
This will act as a deterrent for complacent and inefficient employees. However, since this is not a penalty, the norms for penal action in disciplinary cases involving withholding increments will not be applicable in such cases.
This will be treated as an “efficiency bar”. Additionally, for such employees there could be an option to leave service on similar terms and conditions as prescribed for voluntary retirement.
Grant of First Annual Increment in Recruits Pay : The main demand of the Services in this connection is that the existing stipulation that next increment will be granted from the date of attestation or mustering be done away with.
They have pointed out that trades whose skill requirements are low and whose entry level qualifications are lower invariably get attested or mustered earlier and thus are entitled to the next annual increment earlier than trades whose training period is longer.
Analysis and Recommendations: The Commission is of the view that grant of next increment in the case of recruits should not place those with higher entry level qualifications at a disadvantage.
The Commission, accordingly recommends that the date of enrolment should be reckoned for the purposes of first increment for all recruits who are finally successfully attested/mustered.

NC JCM STAFF SIDE SUGGESTED TO 7TH PAY COMMISSION ON INCREMENT.
Increment: Whether the present system of annual increment on 1st July of every year uniformly in case of all employees has served its purpose or not? Whether any changes are required?
No. In fact the single date increment system has brought in anomalies, which were discussed at length at the National Anomaly Committee, without reaching an agreement.
In our Opinion, the commission must recommend, for administrative expediency, two specific dates as increment dates. Viz. 1st January and 1st July.
Those recruited/appointed/promoted during the period between 1st Jan and 30th June, will have their increment date on 1st January and those recruited/appointed/promoted between 1st July and 31st December will have it on 1st July next.
This apart the Commission is required to specifically recommend that those who retire on 30th June or 31st December are granted one increment on the last day of their service.
What should be the reasonable quantum of annual increment?
The reasonable quantum of increment should not be less than 5% of the basic pay or the rate of increment agreed upon through bilateral discussion in the Banking industry, whichever is higher.
Whether there should be a provision of variable increments at a rate higher than the normal annual increment in case of high achievers? If so, what should be transparent and objective parameters to assess high achievement, which could be uniformly applied across Central Government?
Without defining the term “high achiever” and prescribing transparent and objective parameters to assess high achievement the system of variable increments at a rate higher than normal annual increments will be misused on subjective assessment of high achievements. For these reasons and for what we have stated in reply to question No. 2.3 the scheme of variable increment is not desirable.
Annual rate of increment @ 5% of the pay.
Fixation of pay on promotion = 2 increments and difference of pay between present and promotional posts (minimum Rs.3000).
Date of Next Increment in Six Months on Promotion or MACP
The Finance Ministry issued an important order regarding the DNI on Promotion on 1st July [O.M. No.4-21/2017-IC/E.IIIA dated 29.10.2019].
The order clarified that the employees who are getting promotion or financial upgradation on 1st July and receiving benefit of two increments (1st annual increment due on 1st July and the 2nd notional increment on account of promotion) will accrue their subsequent increment on the following 1st January after completion of six months period.
For example, as per the order, if an employee gets a promotion or MACP on the increment date of 1st July 2019, his pay will be fixed on 1st July 2019 and the date of the next increment will be on 1st January 2020, after completion of 6 months service. After that, the next increment will be eligible only after completion of one year 1st January 2021.

Hi,
I had joined Govt service on April,2013 and therefore, my 1st increment was given on 1st July,2014, that is after about 15 months from my joining. Now, as per 7 cpc amendment I am actually getting my increment at a delay of 6 months every year. Has there been any provision for revision of increment dates for such employees who have been facing such anomalies for having joined prior to 2016 between Jan to July? Kindly guide.
I got MACP in 2017 and fixed my pay in Level-3, My pay on 30.06.2019 is 29300, I got promotion to higher post i.e. in Level-4 on 01.07.2019 & this is the date of my Annual Increment too. Please clarify whether I’m eligible for Annual Increment along with Promotional Increment? Then what will be my basic pay & date of next increment? Please suggest….
There’s no basic pay in promotions from 7th CPC, only your Designation changes higher. Next MACP for you on completion of 10 year on 2027 at that time your basic pay fixation in level 4. You will get as usual normal increment in level 3. on 1-7-2019.

Increment 1/7/2016.
hi
I was promoted on 27 Jun. What is better option in view of increment on 1st july-
1. Pay fixation on Date of promotion
2. Pay fixation after increment on 1 july.
And why
Please advise
If you are upgraded as MACP on completion of 10 year without any promotion, from 27 Jun that day you are pay fixation with as advance increment in same matrix leve, so you are not given increment on that year, next year July your matrix level may be higher to next level. Otherwise the promotion is normal due to retirement/vacant post no monitory benefits only your next designation changes from that date i.e. 27 JUNE.
