Calculate New Salary using 7th Pay Commission Pay Scale Calculator
Calculate New Salary using 7th Pay Commission Pay Scale Calculator
7th CPC was cleared today by Union Cabinet Ministers. To our utter
disappointed it is implemented without any changes. But what we can do?
Let's see if our Unions can fight.
But before that let us know how much our pay is increasing and how the pay is calculated.
Note: If you are lazy like me, scroll down directly and use the calculator
1. First multiply your current basic with
a) 2.57 if you are in the pay scale of 5200-20200
b) 2.62 if you are in the pay scale of 9300-34800
c) 2.67 if you are in the pay scale of 15600-39100
all higher grade officers will anyways get much higher salaries so we will not discuss about them here.
Now after multiplying your current basic(including grade pay) see this image below.
Now check your new basic as follows.
My basic is 11510. So if if multiply 11510 with 2.57( i'm in 5200-20200 pay scale with grade pay 2400) i will get 29580.07. Round it off to 29581. Now in the first image in pay band 5200-20200 and in grade pay 2400 column check where we find the next higher figure to 29581.
In my case the new basic will be 29600.
So that is my new basic. = 29600. Lets see my new gross salary.
New Basic = 29600
New DA ( as on 01.01.2016) = 0%
New HRA = 29600x24% = 7104 ( i live in hyderabad , so new hra will be 24%)
New TA = 3600+(3600*0%)=3600(For Higher TPTA cities like mumbai, delhi, hyderabad etc ta will be 3600+DA and for other cities it will be 1800+DA. TA also depend on our new pay level See TA table below)
So my total gross will be 40304.
My present Gross is 32951.
Hike i am getting is 40304 - 32951 = 7353.
And media is calling this as bonanza, bumper offer, inflation will rise.
For lazy people like me you can directly use the calculator. I don't know who created it but thanks to them.
Calculate your new salary and comment your old and new salaries below.

Cabinet approves Implementation of the recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission : PIB News
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the implementation of the recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) on pay and pensionary benefits. It will come into effect from 01.01.2016.
In the past, the employees had to wait for 19 months for the implementation of the Commission’s recommendations at the time of 5th CPC, and for 32 months at the time of implementation of 6th CPC. However, this time, 7th CPC recommendations are being implemented within 6 months from the due date.
The
Cabinet has also decided that arrears of pay and pensionary benefits
will be paid during the current financial year (2016-17) itself, unlike
in the past when parts of arrears were paid in the next financial year.
The
recommendations will benefit over 1 crore employees. This includes over
47 lakh central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners, of which
14 lakh employees and 18 lakh pensioners are from the defence forces.
Highlights:
1. The
present system of Pay Bands and Grade Pay has been dispensed with and a
new Pay Matrix as recommended by the Commission has been approved. The
status of the employee, hitherto determined by grade pay, will now be
determined by the level in the Pay Matrix. Separate Pay Matrices have
been drawn up for Civilians, Defence Personnel and for Military Nursing
Service. The principle and rationale behind these matrices are the same.
2. All
existing levels have been subsumed in the new structure; no new levels
have been introduced nor has any level been dispensed with. Index of
Rationalisation has been approved for arriving at minimum pay in each
Level of the Pay Matrix depending upon the increasing role,
responsibility and accountability at each step in the hierarchy.
3. The minimum pay has been increased from Rs. 7000 to 18000 p.m. Starting salary of a newly recruited employee at lowest level will now be Rs. 18000 whereas for a freshly recruited Class I officer, it will be Rs. 56100.
This reflects a compression ratio of 1:3.12 signifying that pay of a
Class I officer on direct recruitment will be three times the pay of an
entrant at lowest level.
4. For the purpose of revision of pay and pension, a fitment factor of 2.57 will be applied across all Levels in the Pay Matrices.
5. Rate of increment has been retained at 3 %. This will benefit the employees in future on account of higher basic pay as the annual increments that they earn in future will be 2.57 times than at present.
6. The
Cabinet approved further improvements in the Defence Pay Matrix by
enhancing Index of Rationalisation for Level 13A (Brigadier) and
providing for additional stages in Level 12A (Lieutenant Colonel), 13
(Colonel) and 13A (Brigadier) in order to bring parity with Combined
Armed Police Forces (CAPF) counterparts at the maximum of the respective
Levels.
7. Some other decisions impacting the employees including Defence & Combined Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel include :
· Gratuity ceiling enhanced from Rs. 10 to 20 lakh. The ceiling on gratuity will increase by 25 % whenever DA rises by 50 %.
· A
common regime for payment of Ex-gratia lump sum compensation for civil
and defence forces personnel payable to Next of Kin with the existing
rates enhanced from Rs. 10-20 lakh to 25-45 lakh for different categories.
· Rates of Military Service Pay revised from Rs. 1000, 2000, 4200 & 6000 to 3600, 5200, 10800 & 15500 respectively for various categories of Defence Forces personnel.
· Terminal
gratuity equivalent of 10.5 months of reckonable emoluments for Short
Service Commissioned Officers who will be allowed to exit Armed Forces
any time between 7 and 10 years of service.
· Hospital
Leave, Special Disability Leave and Sick Leave subsumed into a
composite new Leave named ‘Work Related Illness and Injury Leave’
(WRIIL). Full pay and allowances will be granted to all employees during
the entire period of hospitalization on account of WRIIL.
8. The
Cabinet also approved the recommendation of the Commission to enhance
the ceiling of House Building Advance from Rs. 7.50 lakh to 25 lakh. In
order to ensure that no hardship is caused to employees, four interest
free advances namely Advances for Medical Treatment, TA on
tour/transfer, TA for family of deceased employees and LTC have been
retained. All other interest free advances have been abolished.
9. The
Cabinet also decided not to accept the steep hike in monthly
contribution towards Central Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme
(CGEGIS) recommended by the Commission. The existing rates of monthly
contribution will continue. This will increase the take home salary of
employees at lower levels by Rs. 1470. However, considering the need for
social security of employees, the Cabinet has asked Ministry of Finance
to work out a customized group insurance scheme for Central Government
Employees with low premium and high risk cover.
10. The
general recommendations of the Commission on pension and related
benefits have been approved by the Cabinet. Both the options recommended
by the Commission as regards pension revision have been accepted
subject to feasibility of their implementation. Revision of pension
using the second option based on fitment factor of 2.57 shall be
implemented immediately. A Committee is being constituted to address the
implementation issues anticipated in the first formulation. The first
formulation may be made applicable if its implementation is found
feasible after examination by proposed Committee which is to submit its
Report within 4 months.
11. The
Commission examined a total of 196 existing Allowances and, by way of
rationalization, recommended abolition of 51 Allowances and subsuming of
37 Allowances. Given the significant changes in the existing provisions
for Allowances which may have wide ranging implications, the Cabinet
decided to constitute a Committee headed by Finance Secretary for
further examination of the recommendations of 7th CPC on Allowances.
The Committee will complete its work in a time bound manner and submit
its reports within a period of 4 months. Till a final decision, all
existing Allowances will continue to be paid at the existing rates.
12. The
Cabinet also decided to constitute two separate Committees (i) to
suggest measures for streamlining the implementation of National Pension
System (NPS) and (ii) to look into anomalies likely to arise out of
implementation of the Commission’s Report.
13. Apart
from the pay, pension and other recommendations approved by the
Cabinet, it was decided that the concerned Ministries may examine the
issues that are administrative in nature, individual post/ cadre
specific and issues in which the Commission has not been able to arrive
at a consensus.
14. As
estimated by the 7th CPC, the additional financial impact on account of
implementation of all its recommendations in 2016-17 will be Rs.
1,02,100 crore. There will be an additional implication of Rs. 12,133
crore on account of payments of arrears of pay and pension for two
months of 2015-16.

Cabinet is likely to take up 7th Pay Commission recommendations for Central Government employees on June 29
The Cabinet is likely to take up Seventh Pay Commission recommendations for government employees on June 29.
Implementation of new pay scales recommended by the 7th Pay Commission
is estimated to put an additional burden of Rs 1.02 lakh crore on the
exchequer annually.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had in his Budget for 2016-17 provisioned
Rs 70,000 crore towards Seventh Pay Commission awards, which is around
60 per cent of the incremental expenditure on salaries.
The Pay Commission’s recommendations are due from January 1, 2016.
The central government constitutes the pay commission every 10 years to
revise the pay scales of its employees. The Commission was set up by the
UPA government in February 2014 to revise remuneration of about 48 lakh
central government employees and 55 lakh pensioners.

7th Pay Commission Report to be put up before Cabinet in June
7th Pay Commission report to be put up before Cabinet in June –
7th CPC
implementation Notification to come at the earliest Central government
employees can expect to get some good news trickling in from government
sources towards the end of June.
As per reports, the Finance Ministry is likely to table the 7th Pay
Commission report to the Cabinet for approval in the last week of June.
The 7th pay panel headed by AK Mathur had recommended the minimum salary
for central government employees at Rs 18,000 and maximum salary at Rs
2,50,000. As employees protested against the wage hikecalling it the
“lowest ever” raise, the government set up the Empowered Committee of
Secretaries group to review the AK Mathur-panel’s recommendations.
The Empowered Committee of Secretaries on the Seventh Central Pay
Commission is expected to soon wrap up its report on the remuneration of
government employees.
Sources added that even the Prime Minister’s Office is keen on a
favourable pay hike for the central government employees, so the panel
is likely to recommend a minimum salary at Rs 24,000 and the highest
salary at Rs 2,70,000.
Sources added that the government is exploring options for meeting the
additional payout over and above what was recommended by the 7th pay
panel. The payout could be substantial with salary hike and arrears
adding up to a Rs 1.02 lakh crore burden on government finances.
Report add that once the report moves from the table of the empowered
group of committee to the cabinet, there is no reason why the cabinet
would inordinately delay it.
The Finance Ministry is keen that higher salaries reach government
employees just before the festive season starting mid-August, as spurt
in consumption during the festive period will have a domino effect on
the economy.

7th Central Pay Commission and the Arrears
7th Central Pay Commission and the Arrears
“In the past, since the Pay Commission recommendations were enforced
with years of retrospective effect, the government had refused to
release the arrears for allowances”
The Pay Commission for Central Government employees is constituted once
every ten years to revise their pay and allowances. The previous Pay
Commission was implemented in the year 2006. The most recent one, the
7th Pay Commission, had submitted to the Central Government its report
in 2015. The recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission are expected to
come into effect from June or July this year. They are also very likely
to have a retrospective effect from January 1, 2016 onwards.
In the event that it comes into effect from January 1, many are
convinced that the government is very likely to not release the arrears
for House Rent and Transport allowances, this time also. But, some of
our readers vehemently oppose this stand.
The recommendations of 6th Pay Commission was implemented and the
revised salaries were given only with effect from 01.01.2006. But the
allowances are given only after 1.9.2008. It was originally meant to be
implemented on January 1, 2006 including all allowances. The allowances,
particularly HRA and TA were calculated from September 1, 2008 onwards.
The government refused to give the 32-months arrears on HRA and
Transport allowance.
This time, the slogan was “Pay Commission without arrears.” Despite it
all, four months have passed. The government servants are not
responsible for the delay, but they say that the government must pay the
arrears on HRA and travel allowance this time from the implemented
date.
This is why, in our 7th CPC Arrears Calculator, we have mentioned as two
stages that the total approximate arrears and actual arrears.
Similarly, the readers have expressed their opinions about the various deductions, including CGEGIS, GPF, and NPS.
Some say that the arrear amount has to be calculated only after
deducting the subscriptions of CGEGIS. And also, the arrear calculations
must be made after deducting like Minimum GPF contributions and, the
subscription of New Pension Scheme. We would like to state that we are
making efforts to incorporate all these views. We would also like to
thank our readers for giving us such wonderful and thought-provoking
feedback.
The intention behind designing a calculator to find out the salaries,
pensions and allowances of the Central Government employees, the serving
members of the armed forces and the pensioners, is to give the readers a
simple and as-accurate-as-possible method of calculation.

Subject: Implementation of the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission — 2nd meeting of the E-CoS
A meeting of the Empowered Committee of Secretaries (E-CoS) was held on 1
st March, 2016 in the Cabinet Secretariat under the chairmanship of the
Cabinet Secretary to discuss issues raised by Staff„side of JCM
2. Welcoming the members of E-CoS and JCM Staffrside, Cabinet Secretary
observed that the meeting had been called to take a note of concerns of
Stäff-$ide of JCM regarding recommendations of the 7th CPC and invited
the members Of Staff-side of JCM to share their views on the
recommendations.
3. Opening the discussion, representative of Staff-side of JCM expressed
gratitude to Cabinet Secretary for inviting them for interaction
regarding the recommendations of the 7th CPC and requested that more
frequent interactions of JCM may be held to resolve outstanding issues
across the table. It was expressed that 7th CPC has recommended a meager
increase of 14% in the minimum pay as against increase ranging up to
54% during previous Pay Commissions. It was further stated that the
recommendations on minimum pay, allowances, advances etc. will cause
difficulty to employees. Representative of Staff-side informed that they
have already submitted a charter of demands to the Cabinet Secretary
bringing out the issues. These have also been discussed in the meeting
of JS (IC) with Staff-side of JCM held on 19.02.2016.
4. Major concerns expressed by JCM Staff-side were as under:
The minimum pay of Rs. 18000/- p.m. recommended by the Commission is on
lower side and needs to be revised upward by taking into account the
prices of commodities as on 01.07.2015 and appropriately factoring in
for social obligations & housing.
(ii) New Pension Scheme should be done away with. Persons governed by
the NPS are deprived of Family Pension and do not have provision of
provident fund. As a result they are at a disadvantageous position as
compared to the persons governed by the old system.
(iii) Recommendations on allowances need to be properly examined before taking a decision.
(iv) Fixed Medical Allowance should be increased from existing Rs. 500
p.m. to Rs. 2000 p.m. as majority of cities are not covered under CGI-IS
and people residing outside the CGHS covered area are unable to meet
their medical needs with meager amount of Rs. 500 p.m.
(v) Recommendation regarding withdrawal of non•interest bearing advances may not be accepted.
(vi) Outsourcing of services should be discouraged as the contract
workers are being exploited by contractors and at the game time the
service delivery is being compromised due to inefficiency and lack of
accountability of low aid contractual staff.
(vii) Enhancement in contribution towards Group Insurance Scheme, is not
justified as this would reduce the actual increase in take home salary
considerably. If the rates are to be raised, the Government should bear
the insurance premium
(viii) The recommendation regarding grant of only 80% of salary for the
second year of Child Care Leave need not be accepted as this would deter
women from availing of CCL, which was introduced as a welfare measure.
(ix) Annual increments be granted @ 5% instead of existing 3% and
increments may be granted on two dates viz., 1 st of January and 1 st of
July of every year as in the present system of grant of increment on 1
st July of every year, employees joining/promoted after 1 st January,
who do not complete 6 months services as on 1 st July, have to wait for
up to 18 months for grant of increment.
(x) The Commission’s recommendation of downgrading the Assistants of
Central Secretariat for bringing in parity with their counterparts in
the field offices is not appropriate.
(xi) Recommendation regarding PRIS need not be accepted as no scientific
mechanism has been devised to assess the performance of employees and
the same could e courage favoritism.
5. Issues regarding financ al upgradation under MACPS in promotional
hierarchy without grading stipulation. grant of two increments on
promotion introduction of Productivity Linked Bonus, treating Grameen
Dak Sevak as Government employees, removal of pap of 5% on compassionate
appointment 8i full pay and allowances In case of Work Related Illness
and Injury Leave improving promotional avenues for technical and
supervisory staff etc. were also raised by members of JCM.
6. During the discussion, representatives of JCM also suggested that the
Nodal Officers nominated by various Ministries/Departments may hold
interactions with recognized Staff Associations and other stakeholders
under their purview so as to identify issues specific to those
Ministries/Departments for redressal.
7. After hearing the participants, Cabinet Secretary observed that the
deliberations have helped E-CoS in understanding the major concerns of
the Staff-side and said that all issues have been taken note of. He
assured that fair consideration will be given to all points brought out
by JCM before taking a final view. He further stated that the E-CoS
needs to examine the Report of the Commission in entirety as well as the
issues raised by JCM in consultation with all other stakeholders. As
such, it may take some time to take a final call on the recommendations
of the Commission.
8. Cabinet Secretary also advised the members of E-CoS to hold
interactions with their Staff Associations and other stakeholders under
their purview preferably within a week.
9. Meeting ended with vote of thanks to the chair.

7th Pay Commission notification to be issued after states polls
Pay Commission notification to be issued after states polls
New Delhi: The notification to put into effect the Seventh pay
commission recommendation will be issued after the completion of states
assemblies’ poll process as the model code of conduct is currently in
place, sources of Finance Ministry said on Wednesday.
The assemblies’ election of Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Assam, Kerala and
Puducherry states, which will be held from April 4 to May 16 and the
counting of votes in the states will take place on May 19 but the model
code of conduct will remain in place till May 21.
So, it is believed that the government will announce Seventh pay
commission award after the end of model code of conduct of states
assemblies election.
The government doesn’t want to give any chance to the Opposition to
deter its image in the polls and hence, sources, said that the
announcement of the dates of the the model code of conduct of states
polls seems to be the cut-off point for notification of the Seventh pay
commission award.
The Seventh pay commission recommendations will benefit 48 lakh central
government employees and 52 lakh pensioners including dependents.
“The BJP led central government decided execution time of the pay
commission’s proposals in April but the Empowered Committee of
Secretaries headed by cabinet Secretary can’t sort out some anomalies of
Seventh pay commission recommendations like scrapping of advances,
allowances and minimum pay before declaration of states Assemblies
polls,” sources said.
Sources also said the Implementation cell of the Empowered Committee of
Secretaries for the Seventh pay commission recommendation in Finance
Ministry works hard to send a summary of the pay commission
implementation to PMO for its nod. After PMO’s nod, it would be placed
before the cabinet for its nod through cabinet secretary.
Sources said the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations implementation notification will be issued in June, after cabinet nod.
The Seventh Pay Commission was set up by the UPA government in February
2014, The Commission headed by Justice A K Mathur submitted its 900-page
final report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on February 19,
recommending 23.55 per cent hike in salaries and allowances of Central
government employees and pensioners.
The panel recommended a 14.27 per cent increase in basic pay, the lowest
in 70 years. The previous 6th Pay Commission had recommended a 20 per
cent hike, which the government doubled while implementing it in 2008.
The Seventh pay commission recommended fixing the highest basic salary
at Rs 250,000 and the lowest at Rs 18,000and its increased the pay gap
between the minimum and maximum from existing 1:12 to 1: 13.8
The government constitutes the Pay Commission almost every 10 years to
revise the pay scale of its employees and pensioners, often these are
adopted by states after some modifications. However, the Seventh Pay
Commission suggested to discontinue the practice of appointing pay
commissions in future.
