OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject:  Recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission – bunching of stages in the revised pay structure under Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2016.

The undersigned is directed to say that in view of the recommendation of the yth Central Pay Commission regarding bunching of stages in the revised pay structure, it has been decided that in cases where in revision of pay, the  pay of Government  servants drawing pay at two or more stages in pre-revised Pay Band and Grade Pay or scale, as the case may be, get fixed at same Cell in the applicable Level in the new Pay Matrix, one additional increment shall  be given for  every two  stages bunched and the  pay of Government servant drawing higher pay in pre-revised structure shall be fixed at the next vertical Cell in the applicable Level.

2. For this purpose, pay drawn by two Government servants in a given Pay Band and Grade Pay or scale where the higher pay is at least 3% more than the lower pay shall constitute two Officers drawing pay where the difference is less than 3% shall not be entitled for this benefit.

3. As per  illustration  given  in  para  1.37  of  the  Report  of  the  yth  Central  Pay Commission,  if two persons drawing  pay of 53,000 and 54,590 in the GP 10,000 are to be fitted in the new Pay Matrix, the  person  drawing  pay  of  53,000  on multiplication by a factor of 2.57 will expect a pay corresponding to 1,36,210 and the person drawing  pay of 54,590 on multiplication by a factor of 2.57 will expect a pay corresponding to 1,40,296. Revised pay of both should ideally be fixed in the first cell of Level 14 in the pay of 1,44,200 but to  avoid  bunching the person drawing  pay of 54,590 will get fixed in second cell of Level 14 in the pay of 1,48,500.
