On the recommendation of 7th Pay Commission, the existing system of Pay Band and Grade Pay has been dispensed with.

The Pay in the Pay Band and the Grade Pay have been merged into functional level

The new pay structure has been devised in the form of a PAY MATRIX to provide complete transparency regarding pay progression

The “Pay Matrix” comprises two dimensions.  It has a Horizontal Range in which each level corresponds  to a functional role in the hierarchy.

These have been assigned the numbers 1,2 & 3 and so on till 18.

The vertical range for each level denotes Pay Progression within that level.  These indicate the steps of annual financial progression of three percent within each level.

The starting point of the Matrix is the minimum pay.

PAY RULES || CCS Revised Pay Rules 2016||

Pay Fixation in the New Pay Structure-

The basic pay on the date of implementation i.e.,1-1-2016 is multiplied by a factor of 2.57 rounded off to the nearest rupee and the figure arrived at is to be located in the new Pay Matrix in the level that corresponds to the employee’s grade pay.  If the same figure is available , the pay will be fixed at that level otherwise at the next higher.

Para 5.1.28 of VII CPC report

For the purpose, an option clause should be incorporated in the promotion order itself to enable the employee to exercise the option within a month.  FR-22, GIO (14).

Although , the option once exercised is final, a revised option is available pursuant to any unforeseen development or change of rules – OM dated 25-2-2003

  • WITHHOLDING OF INCREMENT 
  • Disciplinary authority can impose the punishment of withholding increment of an employee in two ways i.e. with or without cumulative effect.
  • If it is with cumulative effect, the entire period of the punishment is lost so far as earning further increment is concerned and will put the employee to a recurring loss.
  • If it is without cumulative effect, the loss will be for a temporary period of the punishment and after the punishment is over, the withheld increments will be restored and the future increments drawn on due dates.
  • While ordering withholding of increment, the authority shall state the period for which it is withheld and whether the withholding will postpone future increments.
  • Withholding of increment under FR 24 can be made only in r/o of an increment falling due after the date of issue of orders in this regard.
  • A postal assistant in the pay level 4 is drawing a pay of Rs.28700 from 1.7.2016.  The effect of withholding his one increment falling on 1.7.2017 for a period of two years with or without cumulative effect are given below:-
  • Without cumulative effect:-
  • Period                                       Due         To be drawn
  • 1.7.16-30.6.16                       28700             28700
  • 1.7.17-30.6.18 (Penalty) 29600             28700
  • 1.7.18-30.6.19                  30500             29600
  • 1.7.19-30.6.2020(Over)  31400             31400     
  • With cumulative effect (Postponing future increments
  • Period                                   Due                        To be drawn
  • 1.7.16 – 30.6.16 28700    28700
  • 1.7.17 – 30.6.18(P)           29600    28700
  • 1.7.18 – 30.6.19 30500    28700
  • 1.7.19 – 30.6.20 31400    29600(P-over)
  • 1.7.2020                                               32300    30500
  • Difference between withholding “next increment” and “one increment” – Where an order of penalty purport to withhold the ‘next increment’ for a specified period, it implies that all the increments falling due during that period would be withheld because without getting the next increment an official cannot get increments falling after the “next increment.”

WITHHOLDING OF ONE INCREMENT

  • Q- An AAO is drawing pay of Rs.60400/- in level 8 with DNI on 01.07.2017.
