Bunching benefit in Pay fixation is recommended by 7th pay commission in some situation
7th Pay commission in its report
stated at page 79 entitled Entry Pay, that,” Although the
rationalization has been done with utmost care to ensure minimum
bunching at most levels, however if situation does arise whenever more
than two stages are bunched together, one additional increment equal to 3
percent may be given for every two stages bunched, and pay fixed in the
subsequent cell in the pay matrix.
| Rs.53000*2.57 | Rs.1,36,210 |
| In 7th CPC Pay Matrix his pay will be fixed at first cell of level 15 | Rs.1,44,200 |
For instance, if two persons drawing pay of Rs.53,000 and Rs.54,590 in the GP 10000 are to be fitted in the new pay matrix,
1. The pay fixation for the person (A) drawing pay of Rs.53000 (PB + GP)
2. The pay fixation for the person (B) drawing pay of Rs.54590 (PB + GP)
( He has earned one increment more than ‘A’ )
| Rs.54590*2.57 | Rs.1,40,296 |
| In 7th CPC Pay Matrix his pay ideally will be fixed at first cell of level 15 | Rs.1,44,200 |
| But to avoid bunching 7th CPC recommends he should get fixed in second cell of level 15 | Rs.1,48,500 |
Lets now be clear about the above example..
The Person who has earned one
increment more than his junior, will get fixed one cell forward if they
both happened to be fixed in the first cell of the particular Level
1.Where does the situation especially arise …?
These situations will arise in the cases of ..
a) Wherever Upgradation of Grades
are recommended, there the Pay fixations for some persons in the Lower
grade, irrespective of number of increments earned, as shown above, the
Pay will have to be fixed at the first cell of Particular Upgraded
Level.
In that Case the govt servants
who have earned more number increments than his counterpart will be
aggrieved by this method of Pay fixation
b) When the pay arrived by using
uniform multiplication factor 2.57 is lesser than the minimum pay
corresponding to the level prescribed for that Grade, where some cases,
irrespective number of increments earned, has to be fixed at the first
cell of that Particular Level.
