Highlights of Recommendations of Seventh Central Pay Commission
Recommended Date of implementation: 01.01.2016
Minimum Pay: Based on the Aykroyd formula, the minimum pay in government is recommended to be set at ₹18,000 per month.
Maximum Pay: ₹2,25,000 per month for Apex
Scale and ₹2,50,000 per month for Cabinet Secretary and others presently
at the same pay level.
Financial Implications:
The total financial impact in the FY 2016-17
is likely to be ₹1,02,100 crore, over the expenditure as per the
‘Business As Usual’ scenario. Of this, the increase in pay would be
₹39,100 crore, increase in allowances would be ₹ 29,300 crore and
increase in pension would be ₹33,700 crore.
Out of the total financial impact of
₹1,02,100 crore, ₹73,650 crore will be borne by the General Budget
and₹28,450 crore by the Railway Budget.
In percentage terms the overall increase in
pay & allowances and pensions over the ‘Business As Usual’ scenario
will be 23.55 percent. Within this, the increase in pay will be 16
percent, increase in allowances will be 63 percent, and increase in
pension would be 24 percent.
The total impact of the Commission’s
recommendations are expected to entail an increase of 0.65 percentage
points in the ratio of expenditure on (Pay+Allowances+ Pension) to GDP
compared to 0.77 percent in case of VI CPC.
New Pay Structure: Considering the issues
raised regarding the Grade Pay structure and with a view to bring in
greater transparency, the present system of pay bands and grade pay has
been dispensed with and a new pay matrix has been designed. Grade Pay
has been subsumed in the pay matrix. The status of the employee,
hitherto determined by grade pay, will now be determined by the level in
the pay matrix.
Fitment: A fitment factor of 2.57 is being proposed to be applied uniformly for all employees.
Annual Increment: The rate of annual increment is being retained at 3 percent.
Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP):
Performance benchmarks for MACP have been made more stringent from “Good” to “Very Good”.
The Commission has also proposed that annual
increments not be granted in the case of those employees who are not
able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or for a regular promotion in
the first 20 years of their service.
No other changes in MACP recommended.
Military Service Pay (MSP): The Military
Service Pay, which is a compensation for the various aspects of military
service, will be admissible to the Defence forces personnel only. As
before, Military Service Pay will be payable to all ranks up to and
inclusive of Brigadiers and their equivalents. The current MSP per month
and the revised rates recommended are as follows:
Present
Proposed
i.
Service Officers
₹6,000
₹15,500
ii.
Nursing Officers
₹4,200
₹10,800
iii.
JCO/ORs
₹2,000
₹ 5,200
iv.
Non Combatants (Enrolled) in the Air Force
₹1,000
₹ 3,600
Short Service Commissioned Officers: Short
Service Commissioned Officers will be allowed to exit the Armed Forces
at any point in time between 7 and 10 years of service, with a terminal
gratuity equivalent of 10.5 months of reckonable emoluments. They will
further be entitled to a fully funded one year Executive Programme or a
M.Tech. programme at a premier Institute.
Lateral Entry/Settlement: The Commission is
recommending a revised formulation for lateral entry/resettlement of
defence forces personnel which keeps in view the specific requirements
of organization to which such personnel will be absorbed. For lateral
entry into CAPFs an attractive severance package has been recommended.
Headquarters/Field Parity: Parity between
field and headquarters staff recommended for similar functionaries e.g
Assistants and Stenos.
Cadre Review: Systemic change in the process of Cadre Review for Group A officers recommended.
Allowances: The Commission has recommended
abolishing 52 allowances altogether. Another 36 allowances have been
abolished as separate identities, but subsumed either in an existing
allowance or in newly proposed allowances. Allowances relating to Risk
and Hardship will be governed by the proposed Risk and Hardship Matrix.
Risk and Hardship Allowance: Allowances
relating to Risk and Hardship will be governed by the newly proposed
nine-cell Risk and Hardship Matrix, with one extra cell at the top,
viz., RH-Max to include Siachen Allowance.
The current Siachen Allowance per month and the revised rates recommended are as follows:
Present
Proposed
i.
Service Officers
₹21,000
₹31,500
iii.
JCO/ORs
₹14,000
₹21,000
This would be the ceiling for risk/hardship
allowances and there would be no individual RHA with an amount higher
than this allowance.
House Rent Allowance: Since the Basic Pay has
been revised upwards, the Commission recommends that HRA be paid at the
rate of 24 percent, 16 percent and 8 percent of the new Basic Pay for
Class X, Y and Z cities respectively. The Commission also recommends
that the rate of HRA will be revised to 27 percent, 18 percent and 9
percent respectively when DA crosses 50 percent, and further revised to
30 percent, 20 percent and 10 percent when DA crosses 100 percent.
In the case of PBORs of Defence, CAPFs and
Indian Coast Guard compensation for housing is presently limited to the
authorised married establishment hence many users are being deprived.
The HRA coverage has now been expanded to cover all.
Any allowance not mentioned in the report shall cease to exist.
Emphasis has been placed on simplifying the process of claiming allowances.
Advances:
All non-interest bearing Advances have been abolished.
Regarding interest-bearing Advances, only
Personal Computer Advance and House Building Advance (HBA) have been
retained. HBA ceiling has been increased to ₹25 lakhs from the present
₹7.5 lakhs.
Central Government Employees Group Insurance
Scheme (CGEGIS): The Rates of contribution as also the insurance
coverage under the CGEGIS have remained unchanged for long. They have
now been enhanced suitably. The following rates of CGEGIS are
recommended:
Present
Proposed
Level of Employee
Monthly Deduction
(₹)

2500
25,00,000
1 to 5

30,000
1500
15,00,000
Medical Facilities:
Introduction of a Health Insurance Scheme for Central Government employees and pensioners has been recommended.
Meanwhile, for the benefit of pensioners
residing outside the CGHS areas, CGHS should empanel those hospitals
which are already empanelled under CS (MA)/ECHS for catering to the
medical requirement of these pensioners on a cashless basis.
All postal pensioners should be covered under CGHS. All postal dispensaries should be merged with CGHS.
Pension: The Commission recommends a revised
pension formulation for civil employees including CAPF personnel as well
as for Defence personnel, who have retired before 01.01.2016. This
formulation will bring about paritybetween past pensioners and current
retirees for the same length of service in the pay scale at the time of
retirement.
The past pensioners shall first be fixed in
the Pay Matrix being recommended by the Commission on the basis of Pay
Band and Grade Pay at which they retired, at the minimum of the
corresponding level in the pay matrix.
This amount shall be raised to arrive at the
notional pay of retirees, by adding number of increments he/she had
earned in that level while in service at the rate of 3 percent.
In the case of defence forces personnel this amount will include Military Service Pay as admissible.
Fifty percent of the total amount so arrived at shall be the new pension.
An alternative calculation will be carried out, which will be a multiple of 2.57 times of the current basic pension.
The pensioner will get the higher of the two.
Gratuity: Enhancement in the ceiling of
gratuity from the existing ₹10 lakh to ₹20 lakh. The ceiling on gratuity
may be raised by 25 percent whenever DA rises by 50 percent.
Disability Pension for Armed Forces: The
Commission is recommending reverting to a slab based system for
disability element, instead of existing percentile based disability
pension regime.
Ex-gratia Lump sum Compensation to Next of
Kin: The Commission is recommending the revision of rates of lump sum
compensation for next of kin (NOK) in case of death arising in various
circumstances relating to performance of duties, to be applied uniformly
for the defence forces personnel and civilians including CAPF
personnel.
Martyr Status for CAPF Personnel: The
Commission is of the view that in case of death in the line of duty, the
force personnel of CAPFs should be accorded martyr status, at par with
the defence forces personnel.
New Pension System: The Commission received
many grievances relating to NPS. It has recommended a number of steps to
improve the functioning of NPS. It has also recommended establishment
of a strong grievance redressal mechanism.
Regulatory Bodies: The Commission has
recommended a consolidated pay package of ₹4,50,000 and ₹4,00,000 per
month for Chairpersons and Members respectively of select Regulatory
bodies. In case of retired government servants, their pension will not
be deducted from their consolidated pay. The consolidated pay package
will be raised by 25 percent as and when Dearness Allowance goes up by
50 percent. For Members of the remaining Regulatory bodies normal
replacement pay has been recommended.
Performance Related Pay: The Commission has
recommended introduction of the Performance Related Pay (PRP) for all
categories of Central Government employees, based on quality Results
Framework Documents, reformed Annual Performance Appraisal Reports and
some other broad Guidelines. The Commission has also recommended that
the PRP should subsume the existing Bonus schemes.
There are few recommendations of the Commission where there was no unanimity of view and these are as follows:
The Edge: An edge is presently accordeded to
the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and the Indian Foreign Service
(IFS) at three promotion stages from Senior Time Scale (STS), to the
Junior Administrative Grade (JAG) and the NFSG. is recommended by the
Chairman, to be extended to the Indian Police Service (IPS) and Indian
Forest Service (IFoS).
Shri Vivek Rae, Member is of the view that
financial edge is justified only for the IAS and IFS. Dr. Rathin Roy,
Member is of the view that the financial edge accorded to the IAS and
IFS should be removed.
Empanelment: The Chairman and Dr. Rathin Roy,
Member, recommend that All India Service officers and Central Services
Group A officers who have completed 17 years of service should be
eligible for empanelment under the Central Staffing Scheme and there
should not be “two year edge”, vis-à-vis the IAS. Shri Vivek Rae,
Member, has not agreed with this view and has recommended review of the
Central Staffing Scheme guidelines.
Non Functional Upgradation for Organised
Group ‘A’ Services: The Chairman is of the view that NFU availed by all
the organised Group `A’ Services should be allowed to continue and be
extended to all officers in the CAPFs, Indian Coast Guard and the
Defence forces. NFU should henceforth be based on the respective
residency periods in the preceding substantive grade. Shri Vivek Rae,
Member and Dr. Rathin Roy, Member, have favoured abolition of NFU at SAG
and HAG level.
Superannuation: Chairman and Dr. Rathin Roy,
Member, recommend the age of superannuation for all CAPF personnel
should be 60 years uniformly. Shri Vivek Rae, Member, has not agreed
with this recommendation and has endorsed the stand of the Ministry of
Home Affairs.
