|---|---|

11. Pay fixation on 2017 pay revision if increment date is 01.01.2017 in E5 Pay Scale:
| Basic Pay as on 31.12.2016 | ₹40000 |
|---|---|
| Scale | ₹32900-58000 |
| Date of increment | 01.01.2017 |
| Effective date of pay revision | 01.01.2017 |
| Pay Revision formula = Basic Pay in pre-revised scale(A) + DA (119.5%)(B) + fitment [15%/10%/5% of (A +B)] |
|
| Pay revised as on 01.01.2017= ₹40000+ ₹47800+ ₹13170(15%)= ₹1,00,970/- | |
| Annual Increment due on 01.01.2017 (3% of Revised Pay)= ₹3029/- | |
| Revised Pay Scale: ₹80000-220000/-, BP fixed in revised Pay Scale= ₹104000/- (₹100970+₹3029=₹103999) (Rounded off to next 10 ₹) |
|
12. Increment can be an amount less than 3% of basic pay, and stagnation increment to be drawn once in two years after reaching maximum, and maximum three stagnation increments:
| Basic Pay as on 31.12.2018 | ₹215000 |
|---|---|
| Scale | ₹80000-220000 |
| Date of increment | 01.01.2019 |
| Next increment | 3% of ₹215000 or (₹220000-₹215000), whichever is less = ₹5000 |
| Basic Pay after granting increment | ₹220000 (maximum of scale) |
| Next increment | 3% of ₹220000 i.e. ₹ 6600/- |
| Next increment date | 01.01.2021 (as stagnation increment) |
13. Pay fixation if the amount arrived at after providing a notional increment is more than the maximum of the scale:
| Lower Post prior to appointment | E-8 Schedule ‘A’ CPSE |
|---|---|
| Lower Pay Scale | ₹120000-280000 |
| Higher Post after appointment | Director in Schedule ‘B’ CPSE |
| Higher Pay Scale of the appointed post | ₹160000-290000 |
| Basic Pay in the lower post | ₹288400 (after grant of one stagnation increment) i.e. ₹ 280000+3% (₹ 8400) Stagnation increment |
| Plus one notional increment @3% | ₹288400 +3% (₹ 8652) = ₹ 297060 (rounded off) |
| Pay to be fixed | ₹290000 i.e. maximum of the scale |
Stagnation Increment: In case of reaching the end point of pay scale, an executive would be allowed to draw stagnation increment, one after every two years up to a maximum of three such increments provided the executives gets a performance rating of ‘Good’ or above.
14. Benefit of bunching of pay on 2017 pay revision on pay fixation from 2007 pay scale to 2017 pay scale: The benefit of bunching, will be admissible as per Annexure III(A) of DPE OM dated 03.08.2017.
15. No benefit of bunching of increment in case of CMD/MD of a CPSE from 2007 to 2017 but stepping up in specified cases: CMD/MD is a stand-alone post in a CPSE, therefore, no comparison for the purpose of benefit of bunching of increments can be made in that CPSE. However, there may be some rare cases of stepping up of pay of CMD/MD in a CPSE. To illustrate, if the Director ‘X’ of ‘Z’ CPSE who was junior to a CMD/MD of ‘Z’ CPSE, and Director ‘X’ was drawing a lower basic pay in 2007 pay scale (as on 01.01.2017) draws higher basic pay than his CMD/MD on 2017 pay revision as on 01.01.2017, (because of the reasons of getting the benefit of bunching), the pay of CMD/MD of a ‘Z’ CPSE may be stepped up to the level of that Director ‘X’ as on 01.01.2017 as under:
| Pay scale of Director ‘X’ in ‘Z’ CPSE in 2007 pay scale in Schedule ‘A’ CPSE | ₹75000-100000 |
|---|---|
| Pay scale of CMD in ‘Z’ CPSE in 2007 pay scale in Schedule ‘A’ CPSE | ₹80000-125000 |
| Basic pay of Director ‘X’ in 2007 pay scale as on 01.01.2017 | ₹98000 |
| Basic pay of CMD in 2007 pay scale as on 01.01.2017 | ₹100000 |
| Pay of Director in 2017 pay scale fixed after allowing the benefit of bunching (as on 01.01.2017) | ₹255400 |
| Pay of CMD in 2017 pay scale as on 01.01.2017 in normal case | ₹253380 |
| Pay of CMD with stepped up revised pay in view of Director ‘X’ of ‘Z’ CPSE, as on 01.01.2017 | ₹255400 |
