7वें केंद्रीय वेतन आयोग के तहत सिविलियन, उच्च शिक्षा, रक्षा और MNS कर्मचारियों के लिए वेतन मैट्रिक्स लेवल 10 से लेवल 12
7th CPC Pay Matrix Table Level 10 to 12; The Government of India introduced the Pay Matrix system under the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission (7th CPC) to simplify salary fixation, promotions, annual increments and pay progression. The Pay Matrix replaced the old Pay Band and Grade Pay system with a transparent structure that clearly defines the starting salary and annual increment for every level.
Although the Civilian Pay Matrix is common for most Central Government employees, separate Pay Matrix tables have also been issued for Defence Personnel, Military Nursing Service (MNS), IITs, NITs, IISERs, IIMs and other Higher Education Institutions with suitable modifications based on their service conditions.

The Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure issued a Resolution dated 16 May 2017 making important revisions to the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission.
- Defence Pay Matrix (except MNS) extended from 24 stages to 40 stages.
- Index of Rationalisation (IOR) of Defence Level 12A and Level 13 enhanced from 2.57 to 2.67.
- Military Nursing Service (MNS) Pay Matrix revised.
- Civilian Level 13 revised by enhancing IOR from 2.57 to 2.67.

I am assitt. Professor in college….My basic pay 27160/- under in West Bengal. What will be the basic pay and gross pay in 7th pay scale ?
I got promoted to pay scale 11 from payscale 10. My current BP 75400 at present. My promotion due from July 2018.. How I need to choice pay fixation ??
My BP was 84900/- in PB 10/GP 5400 in June 2018. Now MACP was due on Jun 2018 I. e upgradation to PB 11/GP 6600. Seeking Advise about the selection of option for fixation of BP on Jun 2018.
If your basic pay as on 31/5/2018 of Rs.84900/- MACP from 1/6/2018 as 87400 (GP 5400) no increment on 1/7/18, next increment on 1/7/19 as Rs.85,800 in level 11 (GP 6600).
As on 31.12.2015 my basic pay was Rs. 26580 and GP was Rs.6600. what will be my basic as per 7th cpc as on 01.01.2016. I got MACP ON 12..02 2017 and got Grade pay of Rs.7600. what will be pay fixed as on 12.02.2017. what will be fitmenn factor for me 2.57 or 2.67. finally what will be my increment month. Plz. reply at an earliest
Since your MACP was on 12.2.17 have you given option for old pay or new revised pay ? For all the calculation is multiply by 2.57 only (in the case of entry pay it was 2.67) If you have given old pay it was given from 12.2.17 with GP 7600, otherwise MACP from 12.2.17 or from the increment month from 7/17, if you are given new pay from 12.2.17 you are not eligible increment on 7/17, your next increment on 7/18 in Matrix level 12 at your equivalent pay or higher in that stage.
I have my basic pay 91100 in GP 6600 after MACP.
My promotion will be in may 2020 in GP 7600. What will be my basic pay ason 1/7/2020.
No change in basis pay only your designation changes higher from May, 2020. You’re pay will change in next MACP.

What does ur mean by,”7th cpc pay matrix”??
Answer to Gurpreet 22/8 – It is pay/Pension as per the 7th CENTRAL PAY COMMISSION w.e.f 1/1/2016 revised pay/Pension for central government services. Instead of pay scales/grade pay now it’s called as MATRIX LEVELS in that stage.
I RETIRED FROM CENTRAL SILK BOARD IN THE PAY SCALE of 15600-39100 – grade pay 7600- My pension was fixed as 17640/how
I was retired on 29 Feb. 2008, at that time my basic was 26740/= in the scale of 15600–39100 with Grade Pay 6600/=, subsequently my pension was fixed on 13370/=, I got two increments in this scale on July 2006 and 2007. Initially my pension was calculated 13370*2.57 = 34560.90,later there were two options for the calculation of pension, kindly tell me what will be my pension as per option II, where increments are being taken for consideration of calculating the pension. I think I am getting some less pension.

Wheather adhar card compulsary for mentally invalid family pensioner?
There is anomaly in pension of persons retiring before 2006 from scale of Rs. 8000-275-13500 and new scale of 8000-275-13500 (entry for A group) who as per 6th pay commission were placed in PB-2 Rs. 9300-34800, GP-5400 and PB-3 Rs. 15600-39100 respectively.
Now as per latest formula in circulation for fixation of pension taking last pay drawn into account if persons in both the above scales of 8000-275-13500 retired on last pay drawn as Rs. 11025. Then person in PB-2 9300-34800 GP-5400 will get pension of Rs. 33600 and person in higer PB-3 Rs. 15600-39100 GP-5400 will get less pension of Rs. 33500. I.e. Rs. 100 less. This anomaly can only be removed if the formula lpd×1.86+5400=?×2.67 is applied and then pension is fixed as per pay matrix rather then multiplying with 2.56.
I could not understand how Pay Matrix tablecalculater has been arrived at?When 6th CPC was implimented I was drawing Rs 11,300/- as basic pay in the Pay Scale of Rs. 8000-275-13500 i.e the 13th stage in the respective pay scale. On 01.04.2006 my pay was fixed as Rs. 21,040/ +5400/- There after I earned three more increments i.e. on 01.07.2006, 01.07.2007 and on 01.07.2008 and finally retired on superannuation on 31.12.2008 with basic pay as Rs. 23490+ 5400=28890/- i.e at the 16th stage of the respective pay scale. Hence according to Pay Matrix it should be Rs. 87,400/- But unfortunatly when I put these datas to the calculator, it reflected that it would be the 11th stage with pay Rs. 75400/-. Please rectify the same.
