7th Pay Commission, in its
900-page report, has mentioned many times that Annual Increment @ 3% of basic
Pay to be granted to Central Government employees. But the Staff Association
has not satisfied with calculation of increments in 7th CPC and reported that
it has not been calculated properly in Pay matrix
Evolving a Pay Structure to fit for 35 Lakh central Government Employees
with a new format in the name of Pay Matrix is indeed a great wonder.
But the assurance of granting of 3% of Pay for Annual Increment between
two cells is not maintained at many places in the pay Matrix.
First time in the Pay Commission history, the Sixth CPC had recommended
that 3% of basic pay to be given as Annual Increment for CG staffs. As
well as an innovative approach also was adopted to calculate the Annual
Increment.
Example for 100 to 110, Rounding off next ten was calculated as 100 up
to 100.90 and from 100.90 onwards it was rounded off to 110. Due to this
method of calculation, 99% of Cases of Govt Servants were ensured that
Minimum 3% of Basic pay was granted as Annual Increment.
There are 540 Cells in the pay matrix recommended by 7th Pay Commission.
In which many cells are lesser that 3% of Basic pay. At the same time,
it can not be denied that some cells are having more than 3% of Basic
pay
