Pay Fixation Rules in 7th Pay Commission
‘Fitment Factor‘ is one of the most important elements for revising the basic salary from one pay commission to another pay commission. Every pay commission recommends the Fitment Benefit in various methods. The 6th pay commission had recommended the ratio of Fitment Benefit was a single-window format for Central Government employees. 1.86 was recommended the common Fitment Factor to revise the basic salary from 5th to 6th Pay Commission. And the 7th Pay Commission also followed the same methodology and revised the ratio to 2.57.

7th Pay Commission Pay Fixation Formula
Method of Fixation of Pay as per 7th CPC
- Point 1: Multiple current basic pays (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 rules have been changed after implementation of the 7th pay commission. The new rules adopted to all categories of Central Government employees will be regulated as per Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules 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
The 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 per cent at the time of implementation of the new pay. [Para 5.1.27 in 7th CPC Report]
Dopt Orders on Pay Fixation
The Department of Personnel and Training issued orders and circulars from time to time in various situations regarding the pay fixation on promotion or MACP to Central Govt employees. Click to view all Dopt orders circulars
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 factors 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 on Pay Fixation
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.

7th CPC Pay Fixation on Promotion or MACP Calculator
The 7th Pay Commission simplified the calculation for arriving at the revised pay through a Pay Matrix. Let us assume you are presently drawing Grade Pay Rs. 4200 and Pay of Rs. 12110 in the Band Pay-2 as on 01.01.2016.
To calculate your revised Basic Pay and Allowance as per 7th CPC, follow the steps given below:
Pay Fixation Step 1
- Your 6th CPC Basic Pay ( Grade Pay + Band Pay) is = 4200+12110= Rs. 16310
Pay Fixation Step 2
- Multiply your 6th CPC Basic Pay with 7th CPC’s Fitment Formula i.e. 2.57 :- 16310 x 2.57 = Rs.41916.70 ( Paisa to be rounded off to the nearest Rupee) = Rs.41917
Pay Fixation Step 3
- Match above figure ( 41917) with Matrix Table ( Given Below) figures assigned in Grade Pay column Rs.4200. There is no matching figure we arrived above in this matrix, so the closest higher figure assigned in the Grade Pay column can be chosen i.e Rs. 42300. So , Rs 42300 is your New 7th CPC Basic Pay.
Pay Fixation Step 4 (HRA)
- HRA has been revised as 24%, 16% and 8% for the existing 30% , 20% and 10% respectively. If you are in 30% HRA Bracket at present, your HRA in 7th CPC is 24%. Therefore, your HRA in 7th CPC = Rs. 42300 x 24/100 = Rs.10152.
Pay Fixation Step 5 (TPTA)
- 7th CPC recommends Transport Allowance for three Categories of Employees for Two Types of Places. If you are living in A1 and A classified cities (See the List of 19 cities classified as A1 and A cities) you will be entitled to get higher TPTA rates. Since your Grade Pay is 4200 you fall in second category i.e. Grade Pay 2000 to 4800 and your TPTA is Rs. 3600+DA
Pay Fixation Step 6 (DA)
- DA will be Zero as on 1.1.2016. So there is no need to calculate the DA to calculate gross pay as on 1.1.2016. Add all the figures :- Your revised 7th CPC Gross pay as on 1.1.2016 = Basic Pay + HRA + TPTA + DA = 42300+10152+3600 = Rs.56052

I had opted fixation of pay in 7th cpc w.e.f. 01.01.2016 in pay level 5. I have got promotion in level 6 w.e.f. 01.04.2017. If my pay is fixed in sixth cpc on promotion i.e. gp 2800 to 4200 Then it is more beneficial to me compare to fixation in 7th cpc. Whether i can revise my option to switch over to 7th cpc w.e.f. from date of my promotion against om dated 12.12.2018 of finance ministry
Yes, now you can give option. Before giving option, check up old pay fixation (basic pay with GP & d.a.) in new matrix level 6 with D.A. Also your coming MACP in near future, because it will be added one increment while pay fixation if it so long it will be better.

In the 6th CPC GRADE PAY is ₹ 4200/-. Your last basic pay of ₹ 880 × 1.86 = 1636.8 + 4200 = 5836.8 × 2.57 = 15000.58 basic pay fixed at minimum of ₹ 18,000/- 50% of notional Pension as ₹ 9,000/- plus D.R. applicable as per the time to time from 1/1/2016.

Are upgraded grade pay in the seventh CPC, eligible for bunching?
Answer to A K SINHA : Yes with additional one increment in same level and fixed to nereast amount of stage in next level for upgradration in MACP.
I am asking only for upgraded grade pay by seventh cpc not macp.
Eg. 4200 gp is upgraded with 4600 go. Due to upgradation can Senior officers claim bunching from juniors officers if differences more than 3% in the basic. However both officers have joined in sixth CPC. Therefore no one r having basics below the entry pay.
Explain how is it determined?
There is no grade pay in 7th Central Pay Commission only MATRIX LEVELS.
Good analysis . I think u have not seen bunching order of dated 3 Aug 2017. Before giving any comments read carefully. Then suggest oj
Read 7th para of O.M. From last ……..As a result …………..7th CPC. Para 8 (iv) reproduced .. “All pay stages lower than the entry pay in 6th CPC pay structure as indicated in PAY MATRIX contained in 7th CPC REPORT are not to be taken into account for determining the extent of benching.” Moreover this O.M. & O.M. dt.7/9/16 is for HAG Scale, HAG+scale, Apex Scale & the scale of CABINET SECRETARY. Not .for others like GP 4200 & 4600. Read the O.M. fully. Thanks for your comments

thanking you
Your next MACP on completion of 10th year on 16/2/2022 from that day upgraded your pay in level 8 and getting one additional increment in matrix level 7 and pay fixed in level. 8. In the 7th CPC no monitory benefits for any promotions.
My Band Pay as on 01.01.2016 is Rs.15520+Grade pay Rs.4600 = 20120
Accordingly my new pay as per 7th CPC = Rs.52000 ( Cell 6 in level 7 of pay matrix ) based on the option exercise with effect from 01.01.2016.
i retired on superannuation = 29.02.2016 A/N.My last date of increment is 01.07.2015.
I have served 8 months after my last increment and before my retirement. Whether i am eligible to get an additional increment. Because as per the 7th CPC recommendation the minimum service required is 6 months to get an increment.
No, Actually increment counts service of one year, in the middle if any upgradations of pay as MACP in the 6th CPC grade pay changes & in the 7th CPC as next matrix level of pay.
