Expected 7th Pay Commission Pay Scale Calculator as on 1.1.2016

Expected 7th Pay Commission Pay Scale Calculator as on 1.1.2016

“Eagerness about Pay Hike Led to the Formation of the Estimate Calculator for

 Central Government Employees”

Now that one year has passed since the formation of the 7th Central Pay Commission, curiosity to know about the salary hike has increased among Central Government employees. The 18-month duration given to the Pay Commission ends in August this year. It is obvious that the Commission is working hard and dedicatedly to complete its tasks and present its pay hike recommendations and report, at the most, before the end of this year.

Sources say that the Government will give its nod to the recommendations of 7th CPC by April 2016. The recommendations including new pay scale for all groups are expected to come into effect from January 1, 2016 onwards.

“All over the world, speculations usually run wild about the outcome of certain events. More than 50 lakh current and former Central Government employees await information about the revision of pay and pension all over the country”.

We now present you the “Expected Calculator” which will give a fair idea of what to expect, in terms of salary increment, from the 7th Pay Commission.

Now, about our calculator…

First the ‘Expected Pay Scale Table of 7th Pay Commission’. [Click here]

And another important calculation is ‘Pay in the Pay Band’ of 7th Pay Commission. [Click here]

We know very well that Dearness Allowance percentage plays a very crucial role in deciding the revised pay sturcture. AICPIN, which is used to calculate the Dearness Allowance, has been on the stable for the past six months. Therefore, it is slightly difficult to calculate the new pay scale. As of now, Dearness Allowance is fixed at 120% for the current calculations.

House Rent Allowance, like before, will be calculated based on the city where the head quarter is located and is given as 10%, 20% and 30%. There will be no changes in this.

Transport Allowance is calculated depending on Dearness Allowance and is expected to increase by 3.28 times than the current rates.

How to use our calculator…

Just input of your present basic pay and details of allowances in the prescribed places. Click to calculate button. We immediately suggest your Pay Band, Pay in Pay Band, Grade Pay, HRA and TA as on 1.1.2016 on the basis of your inputs.

In our calculator, the July 2015 increment is added to the current basic pay to first arrive at the likely pay of January 1, 2016. According to the revised basic pay, DA, HRA and TA are given in the output table.

Then, based on the estimated hike of the 7th Pay Commission, the expected in revision of pay scale and allowances are given. Pay Band, Basic Pay, HRA, TA and the total of your expected pay as on 1.1.2016.

Finally, the difference between the two is calculated.

Case of State Civil Services (SCS) officers : Clarifications in the wake of Punjab & Haryana High Court order dated 1.2.2010 in CWP No. 15798 of 2009

Dopt clarification orders on the case of State Civil Services (SCS) officers : Clarifications in the wake of Punjab & Haryana High Court order dated 1.2.2010 in CWP No. 15798 of 2009

G.I., Dept. of Per. & Trg., O.M.No.22012/99/2009-AIS-I, dated 17.3.2015

Subject: Clarifications in the wake of Punjab & Haryana High Court order dated 1.2.2010 in CWP No. 15798 of 2009 filed by Shri Praveen Kumar Vs
Union Public Service Commission and others as confirmed by Hon’ble Supreme Court in SLP No. 14002/2010 in the matter of DOPT Vs Praveen Kumar & others.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s OM No. 22012/99/2009-AIS-1 dated 25.8.2010 on the subject mentioned above and to say that in case of State Civil Services (SCS) officers if Select List is prepared for the vacancies of 2014 the same is required to be styled as select list of 2014 whereas for Non SCS the same is styled as 2015. Also in case of SCS, eligibility is required to be seen as on 1.1.2014 whereas in case of Non SCS the same is to be seen as on 1.1.2015. Thus, there is apparent anomaly in styling the Select List year for SCS officers and Non SCS officers prepared for the vacancies arising during the same year. This anomaly is due to the fact that as the Court order cited above was implemented for SCS officers only.

The whole matter has been re-considered in this Department and it has been decided that the above cited order may be applied in case of Non-SCS category officers also and above anomaly may be removed as vacancies for both categories i.e. SCS and Non SCS come from the same pool i.e. Promotion Quota. It has also been decided that the said anomaly may be removed by styling the Select List of Non SCS officers also on the lines of Select List of SCS officers coinciding with the year of occurrence of vacancies for which it is prepared. Therefore, the select list for Non SCS officers which is to be prepared against vacancies arisen between 1.1.2014 to 31.12.2014 and also subsequent lists may be styled coinciding with the year of occurrence of vacancies for which it is prepared. Further, for Select List of Non-SCS officers also on the lines of SCS officers crucial date for determination of eligibility would be 15t January of the year of occurrence of vacancies for which it is prepared. In so far as Select List to be prepared against vacancies arisen between 16, 1.1.2014 to 31.12.2014 is concerned, ‘A’ would be suffixed with the year as there is already one Select List of 2014 prepared against the vacancies of 2013.

Accordingly, it is requested that concerned authorities of the State Government may kindly be suitably instructed to send requisite proposal to UPSC keeping in view of the above decision.
