2014. The Commission submitted its report on 19th November,

Some of the major points
in respect of Defence Personnel (PBOR) are as mentioned below: -
(i) Implementation of the
revised pay structure will be w.e.f. 01.01.2016.
(ii) Pay related Matter;

Band and Grade Pay has been replaced with separate Pay Matrices for both Defence and
Military Nursing Services personnel.
(b) Fixation of pay of each
employee is the new Pay Matrix as on 01.01.2016 would be done by multiplying
his/her basic pay by a factor of 2.57.
Note-1: With regard to fixation of pay in the
new Pay Matrix as on 01.01.2016, the existing pay (Pay in Pay Band plus Grade
Pay) in the pre-revised structure as on 31.12.2015 shall be multiplied by a
factor of 2.57. The 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 figure so arrived at is
available in the appropriate level, that Cell shall be the revised pay;
otherwise the next higher cell in that Level shall be the revised pay of the employee.
Note-2: After fixation of pay in the appropriate Level as
specified in Note-1 above, the subsequent increments shall be at the immediate
next Cell in that Level.
(c) General recommendations on
pay recommended by the Commission have been accepted with the following exceptions in the Defence
Pay Matrix, namely:

for grant of increments viz, 1st January and 1st July of every year, instead of existing date of 1st July. However, an employ 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;
(v) Recommendations on
Allowances (except Dearness Allowance) would be referred to a Committee comprising Finance Secretary
& Secretary (Expenditure) as Chairman and Secretaries of Home Affairs,

Recommendations of the VII CPC
|
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.
|
|

|
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

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 currently in X

of Rs 15, 500 per month on par with that payable to all the Commissioned officers. (Para
6.2.92).
|
Accepted.
|
|
6
|
Grant of Financial Upgradation under MACP to the DSC
Personnel: Since Defence Security
Corps personnel are personnel under the Army, 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.
|
|

enhancement of MSP

1,000 per month to Rs 3,600 per month. (Para 6.2.100 & 6.2.101)
