New 7th Pay Commission Pension Calculation
The 7th Pay Commission has introduced new pension calculation guidelines. These recommendations not only apply to current employees, but also to retired individuals. The Commission has proposed two methods to calculate pensions for those who retired before January 2016. Initially, there was confusion regarding the determination of basic pension according to the 7th Pay Commission.
The first method involves a complex calculation process, which requires cross-checking of previous records to determine pension and family pension amounts. The second method involves multiplying the basic pension amount determined during the 6th pay commission by 2.57 to obtain an alternate amount for the new pension.
Examples of New 7th CPC Pension Determination
The following is an illustration of how a new pension determination is calculated for an employee who retired in 1989, during the fourth pay commission. At the time of his retirement, his pay band was between 3000 to 4500 on the fourth CPC scale, and his final pay was 4,000. As of January 1st, 2016, his old pension amounted to 12,600, which has been revised to 32,382 by multiplying it with 2.57. His pay has been determined on a notional basis on three different dates: January 1st, 1996 (11,300), January 1st, 2006 (27,620), and January 1st, 2016 (71,800). The new pension that he is entitled to receive from January 1st, 2016, has been calculated using the first method and amounts to 35,900.
| Retired on | 31.01.1989 |
| Pay band at the time of retirement | 3000 – 4500 (4th CPC Scale) |
| Final Pay on retirement | 4,000 |
| Old Pension as on 1.1.2016 | 12,600 |
| Revised pension (multiply with 2.57) | 32,382 |
| Pay determined on a notional basis on 1.1.1996 | 11,300 (10,000-15,200) |
| Pay determined on a notional basis on 1.1.2006 | 27,620 (PB-3, GP 6600) |
| Pay determined on a notional basis on 1.1.2016 | 71,800 (Level-11) |
| New pension w.e.f. 1.1.2016 as per the first method | 35,900 |
| New pension payable | 35,900 |
Illustrative Examples of 7th Central Pay Commission Pension Calculation
For an employee who retired during the tenure of the 5th pay commission, specifically on 30th June 1999, and whose pay band at the time of retirement was between 4000-6000, the revised pension calculation under the 7th CPC is as follows:
– Final Pay on Retirement: ₹4,800
– Old Pension as on 1st January 2016: ₹5,424
– Revised Pension (multiplied by 2.57): ₹13,940
– Pay Determined on a Notional Basis on 1st January 2006: ₹11,330 (PB-1, GP-2400)
– Pay Determined on a Notional Basis on 1st January 2016: ₹29,600 (Level-4)
– New Pension with Effect from 1st January 2016 as per the First Formulation: ₹14,800
– New Pension with Effect from 1st January 2016 (Higher of 5 & 8): ₹14,800
These calculations serve as an example and are not exhaustive or definitive.
| Retired on | 30.06.1999 |
| Pay band at the time of retirement | 4000-6000 (5thCPC Scale) |
| Final Pay on retirement | 4,800 |
| Old Pension as on 01.01.2016 | 5,424 |
| Revised pension (multiply with 2.57) | 13,940 |
| Pay determined on a notional basis on 1.1.2006 | 11,330 (PB-1, GP-2400) |
| Pay determined on a notional basis on 1.1.2016 | 29,600 (Level-4) |
| New pension w.e.f. 1.1.2016 as per the first formulation | 14800 |
| New Pension w.e.f. 1.1.2016 (Higher of 5 & 8) | 14800 |
Regarding the employee who retired in 2015 under the 6th Pay Commission, a new pension calculation has been determined. The retiree’s final pay at the time of leaving the company was 79,000 within the pay band of 67,000-79,000 at that time. As of January 1st, 2016, his old pension was 39,500. The revised pension amount (multiplied by 2.57) is 1,01,515, with a notional pay determined as of January 1st, 2016 at 2,05,100 within Level-15. Using the first formulation, the new pension as of January 1st, 2016 is 1,02,550. Thus, the new pension payable will be 1,02,550, which is the higher amount between serial numbers 5 and 7.
| Retired on | 31.05.2015 |
| Pay band at the time of retirement | 67000-79000 (6thCPC Scale) |
| Final Pay on retirement | 79,000 |

| Revised pension (multiply with 2.57) | 1,01,515 |
| Pay determined on a notional basis on 1.1.2016 | 2,05,100 (Level- 15) |
