7th Pay Commission Pay Fixation Recommendations
Method of Pay Fixation as per 7th CPC
- Point 1: Multiple current basic pay (as on 31.12.2015) with fitment factor of 2.57 and rounded off to next rupee
- Point 2: Find the Pay Matrix Level accordance with the Grad Pay
- Point 3: Match the value of Point 1 with the eligible Pay Matrix Level pay hierarchy (equal or higher value)
- Point 4: The selected value is the revised pay as on 1.1.2016
Pay Fixation Example
An employee ‘T’ in GP 4200, drawing pay of Rs. 20,000 in PB-2. The Basic Pay is Rs. 24,200 (20,000+4200). After multiplying by 2.57, the amount fetched viz., Rs. 62,194 would have been located in Level 6 and T’s pay would have been fixed in Level 6 at Rs. 62,200.
Fitment Factor for CG Employees
Uniform 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. [Para 5.1.27 in 7th CPC Report]
Fitment Factor for Defence Personnel
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 Rs.21,700. 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 (Rs.18,000) and the existing minimum pay (Rs.7,000). The fitment factor is being applied uniformly to all employees. 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 [Para 5.2.7 in 7th CPC Report]
Fixation of Pay on promotion in 7th Pay Commission
Staff Side suggestion
Fixation of Pay on promotion : In the case of Promotion from one grade to another in the revised pay structure, the fixation is presently done as under:-
(a) One increment equal to 3% of the sum of the Pay in Pay Band and Grade Pay will be computed and rounded off to the multiple of 10. This will be added to the existing Pay in the Pay Band.
(b) However, the Pay so fixed must not be less than the minimum of the Pay Band to which he is promoted.

I was promoted from Level 8 (4800/-) to Level-10 (5400/-) on 25.10.2019. My existing basic pay is Rs.86100/-.DNI is on 1st July. Please comment on my fixation of pay i.e. which would be beneficial as per the latest order.
With Regards.
If the promotion is next designation changes no pay fixation. Only if MACP pay will be upgraded in level 8 to 9.
I retired from Govt service on 30.9.2009. My last pay drawn in PB-4 was Rs 60340 with Grade Pay of Rs 8900.
My pension was fixed at Rs 30170. Subsequently, in terms of Note 10 Below Rule 7(1) of CCS (Revised Pay) Rules 2006 my pay was revised to Rs 44,700 plus Grade Pay Rs 8900 wef 01.6.2006. It was stepped up as on 1.1.2006 with DNI 1.7.2006 and it became Rs 48,230 plus rade Pay Rs 8900. Thus my Last Pay Drawn as on 30.9.2009 was fixed at Rs 62,440 and accordingly my Basic Pension was revised to Rs 31,220.
Now consequent to a Supreme Court judgement in my favour I have been placed in PB-4 with Grade Pay Rs 10,000 wef 3.1.2006.
Please tell me what will be my Basic Pay as on 3.1.2006, my last pay drawn as on 30.9 2009, and my revised Basic Pension after 1.1.2016 ie after implementation of the 7th CPC.
As per your basic pay of Rs.44700 3% 10000 as 3-1-2006 as 56340 (since you’re pay was not same from 1-1-2006 you will not get on 1-7-200) so you are eligible only increment as on 1-7-2007 as Rs.563400+3% plus 10000=68030 as on 1-7-2008 total 78030 + 3% + 10000 total increment as on 1-7-2009 as total of Rs.90370/-up till 30-9-2009 retirement date. From 1-10-2009 as pension as Rs.90370/2 as 45190 up to 31-12-2015. From 1-1-2016 45190 × 2.57 = 116138 fixed at matrix level 144200/2 pension as 72,100/- plus D.R. as applicable from time to time.
Thank you so much, Sh Kumar, for a very prompt reply. Appreciate.
Dear Sh Kumar Sir,
I had a doubt in the calculations made by you. Therefore, I have tried to work out a solution as under. Kindly see if the calculations done by me are correct.
Basic pay to be fixed wef 03-1-2006 i.e. the date of grant of SAG to me = Rs 44,700 + 3% + 10,000 = Rs 56,340 (one increment is equal to 3% (three per cent) of the sum of the pay in the pay band and the grade pay to be computed and rounded off to the next multiple of ten). Since my pay was not same from 01.1.2006 I will not get an increment on 01-7-2006. Thus, I will be eligible for next increment on 01.7.2007. As on 01-7-2007 the basic pay will be = Rs 56,340 + 3% + 10,000 = Rs 68,030. As on 01-7-008 it will be = Rs 68,030 + 3% + 10,000 = Rs 80480/-. As on 01-7-2009 it will be = Rs 80,480 + 3% + 10,000 = Rs 92,900. Thus basic pay on the date of retirement i.e. on 30.9.2009 = Rs 92,900. From 01.10.2009 the pension will be 50% of Rs 92,900 = Rs 46,450 up to 31.12.2015. From 01.1.2016 basic pension will be 46450 × 2.57 = Rs 1,19,380. However, since the minimum pay at Level 14 in the new pay matrix is Rs 1,44,200 my pension will be fixed at min of matrix level = Rs 1,44,200. Thus basic pension as on 01.1.2016 will be = 1,19,380 plus Dearness Relief as applicable from time to time.
As on 01-7-2019 the total pension will be = Rs 1,19,380 – Rs 12,488 (commuted pension) = Rs 1,06,892. With dearness relief(DR) @ 17% wef 01-7-19 I should get a total of Rs 1,06,892 + Rs 12,257(DR) = Rs 1,19,149.
Request check and confirm.
Request confirm.
Both of us calculation up to Rs.63038 correct after that 3% as 2,041 plus 10000 = 80071 + 3% = 2402 for increment as on 82473 + 10000 total 92,473 last rounded off 92,470 50% of pension up to 31-12-2015 In the 7th CPC from your basic pay for in matrix level 13 it was fixed in pay of rs.92,470 multiple by 2.57 = 2,37,650/- actually it was 50% as rs.1,28,825/- but pension limited to rs.99,800/- from 1-1-2016. (3% 7/07 as 1640, 8/08 as 2,041/- & 7/09 as 2402/-.) In last it will be rounded off to ten only.
Dear Sh Kumar,
Thank you very much for correcting me. I was not aware that the pension is to be limited to Rs 99,800/-. Is there a clause or provision in the CCS Rules or a recommendation by the 7th CPC which limits the pension? If so, please share the reference with me. I shall be obliged.
With best wishes.
J S Bhalla
One more corrections in it. Your last basic pay was rs.2,18,200 pension may 1,09,100 but it was restricted as maximum MATRIX LEVEL 14 as basic pay up to stage 15 as last, so 50% of that is Rs.99,800. Sorry previously in service period I use to refers with ready reconer. After retirement from 2011 I use so many electronic devices, more over from 3 days I am having fever.. I like this calculateds to my time pass. I got retired in GP 4600. MY I’D is [email protected]. You may know it from the age of 80 onwards percentage vice increased basic pension. All the best also given me a good chance. Thanks all.
You might help got promotions earlier in service, so it reaches in this stage. It will cross those who are not got 3rd MACP in next higher scales on compliance 30 year as on 1-8-2008.
If you are saved (20%) under income-tax rules for this year of rs.5,00,000/- your profit of that amount without any other income in current FY.. Still there is time to investment up to 31- 3-2020
.Arrears will of that F.Y. credited under 10(E) rule.
I am having one dough whether you basic pay might have been included 50% of. Dearness pay from 1-1-2004 since the 6th CPC report was passed, it was from 7/2007 from the date 1-1-2006.
I find out that your 6th CPC pay scale was 37400-67000, so you will not 92470/- so it should be work out 100% basic pay not 150%, that 50% was merged and treated as GP 9000.
If you’ve basis pay of rs. 39,800/- as on 1-1-2006 your pension as 1-1-2016 as Rs.72,100/- .
Correct LEVEL 14.
Sir I retired in May 2016 from KV.. I was in senior scale till 09-02-2016 with Basic+Grade pay ( 24400+5400). I got my selection scale from 10-02-2016 with Basic+Grade pay (24400+6600).. How will I be fixed in 7th CPC. I am a CPF holder. . please let me know which will be the most beneficial fixation for me and how it is done..
Your pay will be fixed as on 31-12-2015 multiple by 2.57 amount of total fixed nearest in Matrix Level 9 upto 9-2-16 from 10-2-16 onwards next nearest amount in Matrix Level 10. In that amount 50% as Pension from 6/16 onwards.
Sir thanks for your reply. I still have certain doubts to be clarified. I got my selection scale due to MACP. Will I get 3 percent increament. You mentioned matrix level 9 and next matrix level as 10. But my organisation KVS has taken matrix level 10 and 11 and fixed me from 77700 to 78 500. Whereas as per your reply it comes to 77900 to 80000..I come in pay band 15600-39100 . Please clarify.
Your figures are not tallying so you give your basic pay as on 31-12-2015. More over since you have to give the option you required 6th CPc grade pay change from the promotion date or you require 7th CPC pay ? Best option is GRADE PAY change, because you retired on 31-5-2016. Since as per the 7th CPC Matrix change got no promotion benefit because your increment will not given on 1-7-2016.
Sir thanks for your prompt reply. My basic pay as on 31-12-2015 was 24400 in pay band 15600-39100 with Grade pay 5400. Promotion date Basic pay remains the same 24400 but Grade pay changed to 6600 in the same pay band 15600-39100. As per your advice if I opt for 6th CPC Grade Pay change from the promotion date , in which matrix level will I be fixed and what will be the amount. Kindly clarify.
Sir why there is no response from you. Please clarify.
It may be your 4th promotion in service on my 3 promotions from 7th CPC. As I already informed no promotional benefits from 7th CPC. No, the option time is also barred to give pay in 6th CPC. At the time retirement you are in GP 5600 only and no increment for promotion, but I designation changes higher.
Sir at the time of retirement I am in Grade pay 6600 and not 5400. As per the rules they should have given one increament in 6th CPC due to my MACP and then fixed me one step higher in 7thCPC in the changed Grade.
Ok, if it is MACP the GO 6600, but your MACP was 10-2-2016 it was in 7th CPC (started from 1-1-2016) so as per rules one increment in matrix table 9 (GP 5400) only. You are suppose to be given on 1-7-2018 as matrix level 10, since you have retired on 5/16 so it will not possible as per 7th CPC RULES. Likely you got in GP 6600 chance given for the period of employees up to 25/7/17 as per the report released. If you might have been given 7 th CPC you are not eligible matrix table 10 it may be given in level 9 (GO 5600) i.e. as I said. From this your difference of amount .basic pay plus rs. 1000 plus D.A.125% multiple by 2.57 gained and fixed as per 7th CPC level 9. (not level 10). It is correct procedure.
Sir, I am stated that after completion of my 30 years of my service IIIrd MACP was granted to me wef 01.04.2016 and I was given Level-6. In the MACP Order option for fixation of pay to the higher scale was called and I was submitted in the time limit that first give me my annual increment and then my pay be fixed. in higher grade. My next increment date was 01.07.2016. Dispite my option my pay was fixed from date of MACP ie from 01.04.206 and my option was not considered.. Whereas in some other offices option was accepted and pay was fixed from DNI. My pay was fixed as per below:-
01.01.2016-Rs. 12820+2800=15620.
01.04.2016-Grant IIIrd MACP.
01.04.2016- 13290+4200=17490(pay fixation on MACP after giving one increment in the pre revised pay scale)
01.04.2016- 17490*2.57= 44949=46200(pay fixed in the revised pay level-6 of pay matrix-2016)
01.01.2017- Date of next increment.
Now it may be advised whether my option for fixation of pay from DNI which was as per rules or otherwise.
whether I am entitle to fix my pay from DNI. What I can do pl suggest me.
This is to inform you that you have got increased GP 2800 to 4200 from 1-4-2016, so you are not eligible for increment on 1-7-16, on completion of 6 months from 1-7-2016 to 31-12-16 accident but as per the 7th CPC CSS RULE 10 annual increment will be on 1-7-2017 in Matrix Level 6. Since your pay was fixed from 1-4-2016, if you are asked option it will be given from 1-7-16 this is only option, but you got earlier 3 months higher pay i.e. GP 4200 not GP 2800. You have already in Matrix Level 6 from 1-4-2016. If you require in 7th CPC option you have to refund your higher pay in GP 4200 & you will be given in Matrix Level 6 from 1-7-2017 only, normal increment will be eligible on 1-7-16 in Matrix Level 5.
If promotion policy is 4600 (pb2) to 5600(pb3)
And my basic is 52000 in 7th level (4600 grade pay) what is the my new basic when i will get promotion to level 10 (pb3 5400 grade pay )
No promotional benefits from 7th CPC. Moreover from level 7 to 8 (GP 4800)) only in case of completion of 10/20/30 years as MACP upgradrations pay benefits from after next year of completion those who have without any Promotions, in next matrix level.

As per the scheme started date next on completion of 30 years it was 1/9/2018 (not your completion of 30 years service from 1981). Since you are retired in 9/2016 so you are not eligible for 3rd MACP.
