Fitment
5.1.27 The starting point for the first level of the
matrix has been set at ₹18,000. This corresponds to the
starting pay of ₹7,000, which is the beginning of
PB-1 viz., ₹5,200 + GP 1800, which prevailed on
01.01.2006, the date of implementation of the VI CPC recommendations. Hence the
starting point now proposed is 2.57 times of what was prevailing on 01.01.2006.
This fitment factor of 2.57 is being proposed to be applied uniformly for all
employees. It includes a factor of 2.25 on account of DA neutralisation,
assuming that the rate of Dearness Allowance would be 125 percent at the time
of implementation of the new pay. Accordingly, the actual raise/fitment being
recommended is 14.29 percent.
Pay Fixation in the
New Pay Structure
5.1.28 The fitment of each employee in the new pay matrix is
proposed to be done by multiplying his/her basic pay on the date of
implementation by a factor of 2.57. The figure so arrived at is to be located
in the new pay matrix, in the level that corresponds to the employee’s grade pay on the date
of implementation,
except in cases where the Commission has recommended a change in the existing
grade pay. If the identical figure is
not available in the given level, the next higher figure
closest to it would be the new pay of the concerned employee. A couple of
examples are detailed below to make the process amply clear. 5.1.29 The pay in
the new pay matrix is to be fixed in the following manner:
Step 1: Identify Basic Pay (Pay in the pay band plus Grade Pay)
drawn by an employee as on the date of implementation. This figure is ‘A’.
Step 2: Multiply ‘A’ with 2.57, round-off to the nearest
rupee, and obtain result ‘B’.
Step 3: The figure so arrived at, i.e., ‘B’ or the next higher
figure closest to it in the Level assigned to his/her grade pay, will be the
new pay in the new pay matrix. In case the value of ‘B’ is less than the
starting pay of the Level, then the pay will be equal to the starting pay of that
level.
Example I
i. For example an employee H is presently drawing Basic Pay
of ₹55,040 (Pay in the Pay Band ₹46340 + Grade Pay ₹8700 = ₹55040). After multiplying ₹55,040 with 2.57, a figure of ₹1,41,452.80 is arrived at. This is
rounded off to ₹1,41,453.
ii. The level corresponding to GP 8700 is level 13, as may
be seen from Table 4, which gives the full correspondence between existing
Grade Pay and the new Levels being proposed.
iii. In the column for level 13, the figure closest to ₹1,41,453 is ₹1,41,600.
iv. Hence the pay of employee H will be fixed at ₹1,41,600 in level 13 in the new pay
matrix as shown below:
Table 6: Pay Fixation

129600 143300 157600
133500 147600 162300
137500 152000 167200
141600 156600 172200
145800 161300 177400
150200 166100 182700
5.1.30 As part of its recommendations if Commission has
recommended any upgradation or downgrade in the level of a particular post, the
person would be placed in the level corresponding to the newly recommended
grade pay.
Example II
i. Take the case of an employee T in GP 4200, drawing pay of
₹20,000 in PB-2. The Basic Pay
is ₹24,200 (20,000+4200). If there was to
be no change in T’s level the pay fixation would have been as explained in
Example I above. After multiplying by 2.57, the amount fetched viz., ₹62,194 would have been located in
Level 6 and T’s pay would have been fixed in Level 6 at ₹62,200.
ii. However, assuming that the Commission has recommended that
the post occupied by T should be placed one level higher in GP 4600. T’s basic
pay would then be ₹24,600 (20000 + 4600). Multiplying
this by 2.57 would fetch ₹63,222.
iii. This value would have to be located in the matrix in Level
7 (the upgraded level of T). iv. In the column for Level 7 ₹63,222 lies between 62200 and
64100. Accordingly, the pay of T will be fixed in Level 7 at ₹64,100.
