7th CPC Pay Fixation
“Pay determination of an employee on promotion or MACP Upgradation”
7TH PAY COMMISSION PAY FIXATION
Pay Fixation is an important aspect for employees, from beginning of their service to end. While entering in service itself, the pay fixation rules are implementing to fix monthly salary of every employee.
An employees’ pay fixed in some situations are listed below…
Pay Fixation for newly recruited;
Pay Fixation on Promotion or MACP;
Pay Fixation on Revision of Pay as per new Pay Commission;
Pay Fixation on Annual Increment.
7th CPC Pay Fixation
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]

Iam working in department of Post and got MACP-2 on 17.05.2017 . In 6th CPC the grade pay will be 2800 to 4200 and which most benefit to me . But the 7th CPC is implemented with effect from 01.01.16 .Shall I take the 7th CPC from the date of my MACP-2 ie 17.05.2017 by re-excersing option. Our accountant says that there is such provision. Please clarify shall I eligible to take the 7th CPC from the date of my MACP-2 by refunding the pay of 7th CPC till my MACP-2 ie 17.05.2017.
If it is normal designated promotion you will get lower benefit, but it is MACP-2 it will be benefited in matrix level 6.
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.

V. JAGANNATHA REDDY
PPO# 136 170 300 104/ MOB :770 220 3231
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.
Continues to my comments : Additional Pension is eligible as per attaining the age of. 80 as 20%,85 as 30%,90 as 40%, 95 as 50% & 100 as 100%.
My BP was 13690 GP 2800 as on 31 Dec 2015. I got my first MACp on 01 sep 2008. I was promoted on 03 mar 2016 with GP 4200. How much my pay fix as per 7th pay commission as on 01 jul 2016.
As per your basic pay as on 31/12/2015 of ₹ 13690+2800=16,490 × 2.57 = 42379.30 fixed at 42800 in matrix level 4 GP& from 1/3/16 due to Promotions it will be fixed as 43600 then due to increment postponed on January, 17 as ₹ 44,900/- in Matrix level 5. But you have to give option for promotion & increment.
My PPO/028256/2000. Fixed medical allowance with arrer since 2004.
My ppo no s/028256/2000,new ppo not received.
I am working at basic pay 50500 in gp 4600. I want to give technical resignation and to join in 4800 gp. I get increment in July. At what amount my pay will be fixed. Please reply
Rs.52000/-.
I was working in the office of central govt, at GRADE PAY 2800 with basic pay of 31000/- . I technically resigned from the office and joined the job in lower grade pay 2400 at what amount my pay will be protected.
At ₹ 31,400/- if it’s proper channel.
Please give any order or rule in respect of same.
If you are applied proper channel and technical resignation your pay was product-ed with your service & basic pay as per the Pay Matrix Table in level 5 (GP 2800) to 4 (GP 2400) in stage after your old basic in table 4 of Rs.31,000/- next stage as Rs.31,400/-. If not technical resignation it Rs.25,500/- only.
I was getting 53600 in level 8 of GP 4800 upto December 2016 after getting annual increment on 01.07.2016. From January 2017 I promoted to higher post of Group A – 5400 GP in Level 10. As per new rule will my basic revise ?
Answer to A N MISHRA : No. As per the 7th CPC rules no promotional monitory benefits, only designation changes. By way of MACP of every 10 years pay will be upgraded as next matrix level changes.
I worked in level 6 index 3 and I technical resigned and joined in a new post in level 10 recruited by UPSC what is the my index number in level 10 please clarify
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
I am working 18 years in PB-1 and now i will join with the new post of PB-2. What will be my monthly pay of my new post.
Answer to RICHARD – PB-2 of 6th CPC starts from Rs.9300-34800 with GP 4200, in 7th CPC MATRIX LEVEL 6 of Rs.35,400/- it depends upon your starting basic pay and scale of pay (promotions/MACP if any) of Grade Pay it will be fixed at new post of matrix levels.
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.
I am working in Income Tax Department

25/01/2016 promoted as “Office Superintendent” same grade pay Rs. 4600/- not received any monetary benefit and on dated 30/07/2018 promoted as “Administrative Officer” is same grade pay,Rs. 4600/-, can I get any monetary benefit?
Pl give reply early as possible because I want to give option form to the department.
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.
