The implementation cell of 7 th cpc recommendations, issued instructions in their OM dated
7 th September 2016,placed above, as to how to fix the pay of officials served one year six months and two years and six months with illustration.Similarly 50%of the minimum pay matrix is to be fixed for those who could not earn increment.Their pension which was fixed by multiplying factor of 2.57 is lesser than 50%of the minimum pay matrix.It is stated in para 10.1.67 of the 7 th cpc that “ALL THE CIVILIAN PERSONNEL ,WHO RETIRED PRIOR TO 1-1-2016,SHALL FIRST BE FIXED IN THE PAY MATRIX,ON THE BASIS OF THE PAYBAND AND GRADE PAY AT WHICH THEY RETIRED,AT THE MINIMUM OF THE CORRESPONDING LEVEL IN THE MATRIX. AFTER ADDING 3% OF THEIR INCREMENT IF ANY EARNED,50%OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT SO ARRIVED AT SHALL BE THE REVISED PENSION.
From this it is clear that 50% of the minimum pay matrix is the revised pension of those who could not earn increment in their post due to superannuation
one illustration is given below;=
The basic pension of an official drawing pension in the scale of pay of Rs.15,600 –39,100 with grade pay of Rs.6,600 in the 6 th cpc was fixed at Rs 12,600 in the 6 thcpc .His pension of Rs.12,600 multiplied by 2.57,works out to Rs.32,382. but 50%of the minimum pay matrix of 7 cpc (level 11)
of Rs 67,700 works out to Rs.33,850.
In view of the above,the pension of Rs,32,382 fixed on 1-1-2016 has to be revised to Rs 33,850.The implementation cell may please arrange to issue suitable orders in this regard at the earliest.
