Questions raised in Parliament regarding 7th CPC Notification and Fitment Factor
7th Central Pay Commission recommendations
The Government has decided to implement the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission relating to pay, pension and related issues. The requisite notifications are being issued shortly.
The increase in pay as recommended by the 7th Central Pay commission is based on the detailed deliberations by the Commission keeping in view all relevant factors having a bearing upon the prevailing circumstances
Employee Associations of Central Government had given a call for strike with effect from 11.07.2016 which has since been deferred. However, the Government is responsive to the concerns of the Employees’ Association and it would be the endeavour of the Government to ensure that the eventuality of a strike does not arise.
In view of the multiplication factor having been accepted based on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay commission, no such proposal is under consideration of the Government, at present.
This was stated by the Minister of Finance Shri.Arun Jaitley in a written reply to a question by the Shri Neeraj Shekhar in the Rajya Sabha on 19.7.2016.

h CPC found present rate of increment quite satisfactory and retained the same rate as annual increment for the current revision. Grade pay has been subsumed into the pay matrix and concept of separate grade pay has been done away.
Sandip Sinha, Retired Employee.
I retired from the service on 31.01.2016. The Basic pay & Grade pay on 31.01.2016 was Rs. 66020 & Rs. 10000. Accordingly, Pension basic was Rs. 38010 and the Present Pension is Rs.70320 (with DA).
After pay revision, the basic pay will be Rs. 199600 and the Pension will be Rs. 59880 (as the DA is zero), which is less than the earlier pension amount. The same thing will be happened with so many employees who will be retired in coming 2-3 years. Is it acceptable? Is there any coverage in the Cabinet approved Pay Revision document. I think it will against FR 22 Rules. I will be obliged if anyone can highlight the issue with solution.
It can be resolved only by increasing the multiplying factor from 2.57 to 3.25.
An example of fitment formula – BP 14940×2.57=38395.80 fitted to Pay matrix of GP 2800 is RS39200/- the Basic Pay as per 7th CPC as on 1-1-2016 While
BP Rs 14940 + 50%{Merger} + Rest of DA ie 75%
(i) Rs 14940=00
(ii) Rs 7470=00
(iii) Rs 16808=00
TOTAL (i)+(ii)+(iii) + Rs39218=00 Rs 18=00 more than and 7th CPC fixed it
Rs 39200 now it is very easy to understand that what is that great amount CPC is going to give to central Govt. Employees.
