The VII Pay commission was appointed on 28th February 2014 to revise the
pay and allowances of central government employees and the commission
took twenty months time to complete its tedious but sensitive task. On
18th November 2015, the official website of Seventh pay commission
informed that the commission is prepared to submits its report to
Finance Minister on 19th November 2015 at 19:30 Hrs.
The news created buzz over internet and government staffs expectation went sky high because of many reasons.
The result of recommendations of 7th pay commission to be submitted to
the government today will decide the financial future of the 35 Lakh
Central government employees and 50Lakh pensioners. And of course it
will impact 185 Lakh government employees of Central and state together,
since the seventh pay commission recommendation will be followed by
state government also.
All the central government employees very keen to know the 7th Pay Commission recommendation on the following important matters.
1. Amount of Increase in Basic Pay : There were many news and roumers
circulated about the amount of Increase over Basic Pay. It is now
expected 15 to 30 % increase will be there in the recommendations of Pay
commission.
2. 7th CPC Pay Structure: Whether existing system [Pay Band and Grade
Pay] continues or not ? : Federations claimed that pay commission
accepted to drop the Grade Pay and Pay band System and old Pay Scale
system with open ended Pay scale would be recommended. This would be a
critical decision as both the systems has its own advantages and dis
advantages.
3. Annual Increment : How much it will be granted? : At least 5% of the
Basic Pay has been expected as annual increment in 7th Pay commission.
Some doubts are there that Performance based Increment and Promotion
will be recommended by the Pay commission. But it is not feasible for
implementing this proposal in Govt Sector.
4. MACP in 7th Pay commission : Federation demanded 5 MACP to be ensured
in ones career. But it expected 4 MACP s will be granted. But the main
plea of Central government Federation is MACP should be granted on
Promotion hierarchy instead of Grade pay hierarchy.
5. Pay Fixation on Promotion : In the existing system it is reported
that Pay fixation on promotion created anomaly and and it lead to Junior
gets higher Pay than Senior Govt servants. There should be definite Pay
Scale and Pay for respective promotion is expected with the benefit of
10% increment on pay fixation.
6. House Rent Allowance : NCJCM Proposal demanded 60%,40% and 20% of HRA
instead of 30%,20% and 10%. But it is not known how much the 7th pay
commission decided to grant on HRA
7. Dearness Allowance : DA Calculation will be revised and it is
expected the pay commission to recommend merger of dearness Allowance
whenever DA reaches 50%
7. All other Allowances : All the other allowances including CCA, TA to
be proportionate to the amount of increase in rate of Dearness
Allowance.
All the above matters will be cleared by this evening and let us wait
for 8 more hours to know the all the information. But whatever it is

subject to modification based on the impact and objections and responses
