Recommendations of 7th CPC on Pension Fixation
The 7th Pay Commission has recommended the fixation of pension for civil employees including CAPF personnel, who have retired before 01.01.2016, given two formulations with illustrations for fixing of pension. One for the pensioners retired on 2015 and another one is for the pensioners retired on 1989.
And also recommended, the first formulation of fixing the pension may take a little time since the records of each pensioner will have to be checked to ascertain the number of increments earned in the retiring level. The first instance the revised pension may be calculated as in the second formulation and the same may be paid as an interim measure. In the event calculation as per the formulation of fixing the pension yields a higher amount the difference may be paid subsequently.
And one more important recommendation of option given to the pensioners for choosing whichever is beneficial to them.
Recommendations on fixing of Pension by 7th CPC : All the civilian personnel including CAPF who retired prior to 01.01.2016 (expected date of implementation of the Seventh CPC recommendations) shall first be fixed in the Pay Matrix being recommended by this Commission, on the basis of the Pay Band and Grade Pay at which they retired, at the minimum of the corresponding level in the matrix.
1.This amount shall be raised, to arrive at the notional pay of the retiree, by adding the number of increments he/she had earned in that level while in service, at the rate of three percent. Fifty percent of the total amount so arrived at shall be the revised pension.
2. The second calculation to be carried out is as follows. The pension, as had been fixed at the time of implementation of the VI CPC recommendations, shall be multiplied by 2.57 to arrive at an alternate value for the revised pension.
Illustration on fixation of pension : Case I : Pensioner ‘A’ retired at last pay drawn of Rs. 79,000 on 30 May, 2015 under the VI CPC regime, having drawn three increments in the scale Rs. 67,000 to Rs. 79,000:

I retired as Deputy General Manager from Ordnance Factories Min.of Defence on 31.10.1992 in the scale of 4500-150-5700 and I was drawing 4950 with 3 increments to my credit.As per one of the concordance table of 7th CPC with 3 increments for level 13 officers applying 2.67 factor my pension should have been fixed at 65300 in the paymatrix of 7th CPC of 130600.as on 1.1.2016.
But my pensin has been fixed at 61550.All my efforts to approach various agencies and concerned departments have failed.
Could somebody help me to sort out my problem
Multiplying factor in 7th CPC for all 2.57 only, the entry pay calculation is 2.67 and minimum in level 13 as basic pay is Rs.123100/- 50% pension as Rs.61550/- only. Your increments counted of your last pay. As per the last pay your pension is decided.
I am Retd.Dy.Commissioner of Incometax.I retired on 31-05-2009 having last basic pay+grade pay of ₹29530/-& consequently pension was fixed at ₹14765/-.As per seventh CPC I Retd.in level 11 & consequently my revised pension is fixed as per Concordance table at ₹38100/-.Wlth the same basic,if I would have Retd in lower level ,say level 6, level 9 etc.my pension as per concordance table would have been fixed at ₹39250/-.It means that if I would have Retd.with same pension amount fixed in 6th CPC in the lower level,I would have bee benefitted.This anomaly should have been redressed.I also applied to Chairman ,CBDT with required details to remove this anomaly but did not heard anything from him.When this fact was brought toConfederation Secretary Shri.Krishan,he told that the when the pay metrics tables are revised it will automatically be resolved.However,till this date I heard nothing.Can I expect the justice now?
