Option for Revising 7th CPC pay on Increment date is Beneficial in Rare cases

Workout before Giving Option for Revising 7th CPC Pay

Giving Option for revision of 7th CPC Pay is a must and important thing to be done by Central Government Employees in respect of implementation of 7th Pay Commission recommendations

Your 7th CPC Pay will be revised as per the Option you choose to revise your Pay

There are Two options provided in option form
1 . I ___________________________________ hereby elect the revised pay structure with effect from 1st January 2016
2. I, __________________________________ hereby elect to continue on Pay band and Grade Pay of my substantive / officiating post mentioned below until:
* the date of my next increment/the date of my subsequent increment raising my pay to Rs ________________ / I vacate or cease to draw pay in the existing pay structure / the date of my next promotion/upgradation to the post of _________________________

Normally it has been advised by the administrative Department that …

For Option -I

The Government servants those who are not getting Promotion or Upgradation between 1st January 2016 to 1st July 2016 should select No.1 Option i.e electing to revise the Pay with effect from 1.1.2016

For Option -II

The Government servants those who got Promotion / upgradation in the Period between 2st January 2016 and 1st July 2016 will have to select any one of the conditions given in Option No.2 after working out their Pay as per the choices given. Because which Option is beneficial to them is depends on the Basic Pay and Period of Service in the Pre revised Scale. The cases may vary individual to individual.

It is to be noted that one can choose to revise his pay from his next Increment date in Normal Conditions also. Because if revising the pay after granting one increment is beneficial than revising pay from 1st January 2016, he will be allowed to choose the option of I elect to continue on Pay band and Grade Pay of my substantive post until the date of my next increment.

It is observed that selecting revising pay from the Date of next increment in second Option is beneficial in rare cases.

But one important thing to be kept in mind before opting Options other than 1st January 2016
In all Options other than 1st January 2016 YOU SHOULD BE READY TO FORGO ARREARS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1ST JANUARY TO THE DATE YOU SELECT TO REVISE YOUR PAY.

If you are ready to forego arrears, then you calculate your pay on 1st January 2016 and 1st July 2016 with an increment and select which one is beneficial to you and go according to that.

How to calculate in normal conditions if there is no promotion involved…

A. As on 1.1.2016
Your Basic Pay x 2.57
And Select the Cell same or nearest Higher to this amount arrived at in corresponding Level
B. As on 1.7.2016 after One Increment in sixth CPC
Your Basic Pay x 2.57
And Select the Cell same or nearest Higher to this amount arrived at in corresponding Level
If A is Higher than B, you can select No. 1 option i.e Revising the Pay with effect from 1st January 2016.

If B is Higher than A , You can select the date of my next increment Date in Option no.2. i.e Revising the Pay with effect from 1st July 2016.

7th CPC Pension Calculation : Implementation of First Option after Committee Report

7th CPC Pension Calculation : Implementation of First Option after Committee Report

“Revision of pension using the second option based on fitment factor of 2.57 be implemented immediately. The first option may be made applicable if its implementation is found feasible after examination by the Committee”

Revision of Pension of pre 7tn CPC retirees : The Commission recommends the following pension formulation for civil employees including CAPF personnel who have retired before 01.01.2016

(i) All the Civilian personnel including CAPF who retired prior to 01.01.2016 (expected date of implementation of the Seventh CPC recommendations ) shall first be fixed in the Pay Matrix being recommended by this Commission, on the basis of the Pay Band and Grade Pay at which they retired, at the minimum of the corresponding level in the matrix. This amount shall be raised, to arrive at the notional pay of the retiree, by adding the number of increments he / she had earned in that level while in service, at the rate of three percent. Fifty percent of the total amount so arrived at shall be the revised pension.

(ii) The second calculation to be carried out is as follows. The pension, as had been fixed at the time of implementation of the VI CPC recommendations, shall be multiplied by 2.57 to arrive at an alternate value for the revised pension.

(iii) Pensioners may be given the option of choosing whichever formulation is beneficial to them. It is recognized that the fixation of pension as per formulation in (i) above may take a little time since the records of each pensioner will have to be checked to ascertain the number of increments earned in the retiring level. It is therefore recommended that in the first instance the revised pension may be calculated as at (ii) above and the same may, be paid as an interim measure. In the event calculation as per (i) above yields a higher amount the difference may be paid subsequently.(Para 10.1.67 and Para 10.1.68 of the Report)
Both the options recommended by the 7th Central Pay Commission as regards pension revision be accepted subject to feasibility of the implementation. Revision of pension using the second option based on fitment factor of 2.57 be implemented immediately. The first option may be made applicable if its implementation is found feasible after examination by the Committee comprising Secretary (Pension) as Chairman and Member (Staff). Railway Board, Member (Staff), Department of Posts, Additional Secretary & Financial Adviser, Ministry of Home Affairs and Controller General of Accounts as Members
