Pay Fixation on Promotion or MACP in 7th CPC – Option Calculation with illustrations

7th CPC Promotion Option Calculation

All the central government employees are in busy with calculating which Option is beneficial to them in order to get full benefit from 7th CPC Revised pay.

Actually there is no dilemma for CG employees those who didn’t get any Promotion/MACP from 1st January to 1st July 2016.

There are some cases in this category that choosing Option to revise Pay from Date of Next Increment gives more benefit than opting 1.1.2016 to revise 7th CPC Pay.

The government servants those who got Promotion / MACP in the Period from 2nd January to 1st July are finding it difficult to decide which Option is correct and More beneficial to them.

No body in the administrative Department ready to guide the right way to the Government servants since there is no clarity in 7th CPC in respect of Revising/Fixing pay on Promotion Date.

But It was clearly illustrated in Sixth CPC.

Let us workout the Pay Fixation in different Options to revise pay in 7th CPC to understand which Option is Beneficial in Longer run.

Let us take an example,

Assume a government servant has been promoted to Next Grade to 2800 on any date between 2nd January 2016 to 1st July 2016. Let us take 1st march 2016 was his date of Promotion.

His existing pay as on 1.1.2016 = Band Pay of 9100 + Grade pay of 2400 = 11500

If He Choose Option -I to revise his Pay from 1.1.201

If He Choose Option -II

a) Pay revision on Increment Date

b) Fixation for Option to revise Pay on Promotion Date need to be Clarified by Government.

Since there is no Grade pay involved in 7th CPC, Adding Grade Pay difference on Promotion date is not applicable in 7th Pay Commission for this category.

Which Option is More beneficial ..?

From the above calculation, it shows that Selecting Option -II to revise Pay with effect from Date of Next Increment i.e 1st July 2016 is more beneficial than Option-I.

It may differ to individual to individual based on Grade Pay and no of increments earned in that Particular Grade.

The Impact of Selecting Option -II in the above case
a. Pay revision come into force with effect from 1st July 2016,

b. You have to travel in Sixth CPC Pay up to 30th June 2016

c. So There will be no arrears for the Period from January 2016 to June 2016

    Sir, i am a superintendent of central excise/customs, joined the Deptt. of Central Excise(as Inspector) on 19.11.1986. Thereafter, i got promotion as superintendent on 30.09.02. Next, i got 3rd MACP benefit w.e.f. 30.09.16 when my pay was fixed at Rs.87,400/= p.m.(Level 10in new pay matrix), with just the earlier pay being at Rs.82,600/=(Level 9) + other perks and allowances. Against earlier basic pay of Rs.82,600/= p.m; I had recd. HRA of Rs.9,474/=(A-1 city) calculated at old rate under 6th CPC formula. Later on while receiving 3rd MACP arrears against arrear bill drawn in Jun’17,(period: 30.09.16 to 31.05.17) i got HRA again at old sum of Rs.9,474/= p.m. despite my pay being changed/enhanced to Rs.87,400/= from Rs.82,600/= p.m. whereas one of my contemporary colleague drew Rs.9,960/= p.m.(old rate) who also has been having same common basic pay of Rs.87,400/= like me w.e.f. 30.09.16. Am I also not entitled to drawing differential HRA sum of Rs.486/= p.m.(i.e. Rs.9,960/= minus Rs.9,474/=) calculated at old rate formula of 6th CPC? Awaiting for your prompt reply pl. Regards! –

    Sir,

    I got promotion in Sept’2016 from grade pay 4600 to 5400. But I was already adopted 7th CPC on Aug’2016 because I don’t know acceptance of 7th CPC was taking OR postponed. I came to know that existing pay fixation is not beneficial to me as shown below :

    As per desired option
    01-01-2016 18160+4600
    01-07-2016 18850+4600
    01-09-2016 19560+5400=24960(After Promotion)
    01-09-2016 24960X2.57 = 64147 (Taking 7th CPC) Fixation 65000

    As per existing pay fixation as on Jan’ 2016
    01-01-2016 58600
    01-07-2016 60400
    01-09-2016 After Promotion 63100
    Fixation on 01-09-2016 63100

    LOSS = 65000 – 63100 = 1900

    So please help me to sort out this problem. I will be highly obliged.

    His pay as on 1.1.2016 = Rs.10660 + 2400 = 13060
    He got Macp-2 wef 2.3.16 and his pay = Rs.10660 + 2800 = 12460-
    He opted to fix in 6cpc wef 1.7.16 = Rs.11470 + 2800 = 14270- x 2.57 = 36674 in Level-5- Rs.37000-
    His pay on 1.7.17 is = Rs.11900 + 2800 = 14700- x 2.57 = 37779 in Level-5- Rs.38100-

    Now my request is
    a) what option he should given in Option form 1 or 2 (i) or 2(ii)

    After implementation of 7th pay commission there is no option to fix the pay on prmotion. the pay has to be fixed on the date of promotion after switching over to the 7th pay. pl go carefully through the Rule 10 of revised pay rules 2016 which clearly states the DNI.

    I joined As Senior Stenographer on 30.09.1988 on direct recruitment. On 30.09.2000 I was granted the scale of Rs.6500-10500 through first Assured Career Progression and on 30.9.2008 after completion of 20 years I was granted the grade pay of Rs.5400 in PB-2 through 2nd MACP. On 7th July, 2011 I was promoted as Private Secretary in the grade pay of Rs.5400 in PB-2 in the same scale. Please clarify what pay scale should I get as Non Functional Scale after completion of 4 years from July 2011.

    There is no option to the employees who got promotion between 2.1.2016 to 1.7.2016 to opt the pay fixation after drawing the increment. . the unrevised pay can be extended only upto the date of promotion as per 2nd proviso of rule no. 5. Further there is no clarify on who to fix the pay in respecet of the employees who got promotion after 1st july to 31st december every year.

    Sir, I have some confusion, whether the employees got MACP-II between Jan-16 and Date of notification, is eligible to elect date of effect form
     Next increment date
    Because for employees of such category, GP has been changed between Jan-16 and Date of notification .Proper Clarification from competent authority is highly solicited.
    My another confusion is that, supposing an employee having BP 16750 (GP-2800), has already drawn BP 19180/-(GP-4200) on 01.07.2016, as he got MACP-II between the said Period. His HRA has been drawn @10/20/30 % on 19180. If he is not allowed to opt for fixation other than from 01.01.2016, his revised BP on 01.07.2016,will be 47600 which is equivalent to 18530/- in Old Scale. Following the 7th CPC notification he will be paid same HRA as applicable for 19180 in Old Scale. Although it is as per old rate, but BP of Drawn Side and Due Side should be equivalent, that is 50500 . The employees of this post, who did not have MACP during this period do not have such problem
