7th Pay Commission Info....

• It is a well known fact that the Grade Pay System had been a source of constant irritation. The dual Hierarchy System (Promotional hierarchy and Grade Pay hierarchy) will come to an end. 

• There will not be any more confusion about the promotions that come through MACP.

• The Multiplication Factor of 2.86 does sound very low. Since the DA now stands at 125% (including July 2015 and January 2016), this could end up being substantial,

• Information about retirement is unexpected. Unconfirmed reports claim that the 7th Pay Commission is planning to recommend 33 years in service or the age of 60 (whichever comes early) as the criteria for superannuation. Since the recommendations will be implemented from 01.01.2016 onwards, many are likely to get affected.

• There will be no running Pay band and Grade Pay System. The Pay scales will be open ended to avoid stagnation in the scales. The CCA will be separated into two components as it was in the 5th Pay Commission. 

• CGEGIS Insurance Coverage and Monthly premium will be increased.

•  Classification of Posts will be Modified and the 7th Pay Commission recommendation will be implemented with effects from 1.1.2016.
