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.

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%.

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.
