Clarification on Uniform Fitment Factor recommended by 7th Pay
Commission
Uniform Fitment Factor recommended by 7th Pay Commission to
arrive revised Basic Pay is 2.57
But there is a confusion
among Central government employees about the Fitment Factor used by 7th Pay
Commission to arrive rationalised Entry Pay in the Table : 4 provided in its
Report.
The doubt raised by many of
our readers are...
1. Why there are 6 types of
Fitment factors mentioned in Table : 4..? [ 2.57, 2.62,2.67, 2.72,2.78,2.81]
2. why shouldn’t they are
used for arriving the revised Pay ..?
3. Whether using 2.57 to
calculate 7th CPC revised pay for all basic pay is correct or not ?
Let us now be clear about
the recommendations on the above issues.
1.Why there are 6 types of
Fitment factors mentioned in Table :4..? [ 2.57, 2.62,2.67, 2.72,2.78,2.81]
Though the commission has
recommended 2.57 as uniform Fitment factor for all Pay scales to arrive revised
Pay, the 7th pay commission wanted to increase the quantum hike between Pay
Scales of Groups [GROUP A,B and C] also . Because sixth Pay commission
recommended significant hike between Pay Bands to show the difference between
three Groups (A,B and C) in respect of Pay Scale.
In Simple term, the 7th pay
commission wanted to grant significant hike for the one who is moving to Higher
Group on account of Promotion or non functional up gradation, like it was
granted in sixth Pay commission .. for example..
If one gets promotion from
GP 2800 to GP 4200,
Minimum pay in the Pay Band
also to be taken into account for Fixation of Pay in GP 4200 because the
individual is moving from PB-I to PB-II. On Pay Fixation, the Basic Pay (GP +BP
) if arrived is below the Minimum Basic Pay of Rs.13500 of the PB-II , the
Basic Pay on account of Promotion to GP 4200 will be fixed as Rs.13500. Here it
has to be noted that not only the hike in grade pay but hike in Pay Band also
involved in fixation Pay when one is moving from one Pay band to another Pay
band.
To maintain the difference
between Three Groups of employees and HAG scales the multiple Fitment factors
used to arrive rationalised entry pay to distinguish the Group A, B and C
Employees
So the specific Fitment
Factors used to arrive Entry Pay for a Particular Group is to show the
significance of that Group in Respect of Minimum Basic Pay. So if Group Change
involves when one gets Promotion or non functional up gradation, there will be
some hike in Pay also there, apart from moving to next Level.
2. why shouldn’t all these
Fitments factors be used for arriving the revised Pay ..?
Now it is clear that these
Fitment factors are used only to arrive Entry Pay of Pay Scales for Particular
Groups and HAG Scales. so these Fitment factors should not be used to calculate
our revised pay of 7th Pay commission.
3. Whether using 2.57 to
calculate 7th CPC revised pay for all Basic Pay is correct or not ?
Yes. Using the Fitment
Factor 2.57 for all Pay scale to calculate 7th CPC revised pay is correct. As
per 7th CPC recommendations the uniform Fitment factor to be used to arrive
revised Pay for serving employees, is 2.57.

ReplyDeleteSince, bonus ceiling has already been fixed 7000 to 21000, why should minimum wage to be fixed as Rs.21000 instead of Rs. 18000 and multiple factor as 3 times instead of 2.57.
ReplyDeleteWhen govt want to revise salaries etc of politicians they increase with a voice stroke. But when it comes to us budget,deficit come into the picture. Alas we are public,voters.
