figure so arrived at is to be located in the Level corresponding to
employee’s Grade Pay in the new Pay Matrix. If a Cell identical with the

shall be the revised pay; otherwise the next higher cell in that Level

|
Decision of the Government
|
1.
|
Fitment Factor: The Seventh CPC has recommended fitment in the pay band in the following manner: -
“The
fitment in the new pay matrix is essentially a multiple factor of 2.57.
The multiple is the ratio of the new minimum pay arrived at by the
Commission and the existing minimum pay. The fitment factor is being
applied uniformly to all employees. It includes a factor of 2.25 to
account for DA neutralisation, assuming that the rate of Dearness
Allowance would be 125 percent at the time of implementation of the new
pay as on 01.01.2016. The actual raise/fitment being recommended by the
Commission is 14.29 percent. An identical fitment of 2.57 has also been
applied to the existing rates of Military Service Pay (MSP) applicable
to Defence forces personnel only.’ (Para 5.2.7)
|
Minimum
Pay, Fitment Factor, Index of Rationalisation, Pay Matrices and general
recommendations on pay recommended by the Commission in as much as it
impacts PBORs accepted without any material alteration.
|
2
|
Rate of Increment: The rate of annual increment is being retained at 3 percent (Para 5.1.38)
|
There would be two dates for grant of increment viz. 1st January and 1st July of every year, instead of existing date of 1st July. However, an employee will be able to avail annual increment only on one of these two dates depending on the date of
appointment, promotion, or grant of financial upgradation. |

Military Service Pay for PBORs:
The Defence forces personnel, in addition to their pay as per the
Matrices above, will be entitled to payment of Military Service Pay for
all ranks up to and inclusive of Brigadiers and their equivalents. The
Commission recommends an MSP for Defence forces personnel at Rs 5,200 for JCOs/ORs.
MSP will continue to be reckoned as Basic Pay for purposes of
Dearness Allowance, as also in the computation of pension. Military Service Pay will however not be counted for purposes of House Rent Allowance, Composite Transfer Grant and Annual Increment, (Para No. 5.2.22) |
Rate of Military Service Pay (MSP) is accepted. However, MSP will be counted only for Dearness Allowance (DA) and Pension.

(a) X pay for JCOs/ORs in Group ‘X’ at Rs 6,200 per month:
For all X trades which involve obtaining a qualification which is
equivalent of a diploma recognised by AICTE. This amount is the
difference in the minimum of the Pay level 6 (corresponding to Grade Pay
of Rs 4200 in VI CPC), and Pay Level 5 (corresponding to Grade Pay of
Rs 2800 in VI CPC). (Para 6.2.88)
(b) X Pay for JCOs/ORs in Group X at Rs 3, 600 per month:
(standard fitment of 2.57 on the existing X pay of Rs 1,400) for those

payable to all the Commissioned officers. (Para 6.2.92).
|

|
6
|
Grant of Financial Upgradation under MACP to the DSC Personnel:

they would also be permitted the benefit of MACP. However, this benefit
should be limited to a total of three upgrades in the entire service
career, both during regular employment and in the course of reemployment
as Defence Security Corps personnel. As they are defence forces
personnel the benefit of MACP would be extended to them after a period
of eight years from their dat of reemployment, in case they do not get a
promotion. (Para 6.2.98).
|
Accepted.
|
