Formula for fixation of pay

Generally the following formula has been adopted to work out the revised pay though this is not universal

Your existing basic x 1.74 rounded off to nearest ten = new basic

Note:- Multiplication factor of 1.74 is adopted considering 50% DP and 24% DA as on

1.1.06. Since we were getting DA on DP, it should have been 1.86 instead of 1.74

The commission has given their explanation for adopting for adopting the

multiplying factor of 1.74 instead of 1.86 in 4.1.5 of the report which is as under:-

The government merged 50% of DA with basic pay as D.P w.e.f 1.4.04 and dearness allowance even thereafter was continued to be calculated with reference to All India Consumer price Index for industrial workers average of 306.33 as on 1.1.1996 without changing the base to average index as on 1.4.04 consequent to the merger and as a result salaries of government servants were neutralized by more than 100%.

Formula for fixation of grade pay

Generally the following formula has been adopted to work out the revised pay though this is not universal

Grade pay = Max of the scale x 40% rounded off to nearest 100

Where two scales are merged, the maximum of the largest scale is considered.

Salient features of pay structure• Minimum salary at PB-1 is Rs.4860+1800(GP) = Rs.6660/- (considering 3

units) and maximum for cabinet secretary/equivalent is Rs.90,000/- Pm which is 1:13.5 (increased from from 1:11.76 in Vth CPC instead of reducing this gap in a socialistic society).

• Every post barring secretary/equivalent and joint secretary/equivalent has a grade pay attached to it. Grade pay determines the status of the post with senior post given a higher grade pay.

• Annual increments to be paid at 2.5% of the total pay in the pay band and the corresponding grade pay. The date of annual increments should be first of July and employees completing six months and above in the scale are eligible.

• Another form of variable increment to group`A’ officers (PB-2 & PB-3) wherein 20% of high performers will be given increment at higher rate of 3.5%. Govt advised to extend this scheme to PB-1 & PB-2 as well.

• At the time of promotion from one post to the other , the grade pay attached to the posts in different levels within the same running band to change. One increment to be given at the time of promotion.

• Allowances will be based on grade pay and the allowances will increase by 25% when the DA exceeds 50%.

• A person stagnating at the maximum of the scale for more than an year continuously to be placed in the next higher pay band without any change of grade pay.

Dearness allowance• DA was calculated with reference to All India Consumer price index for

industrial workers . The %age increase is calculated from index of Jan’96 ie 306.33 (1982=100). Formula adopted is

Before merger of DA -[(12 months average index)-306.33]/306.33 x 100 After merger of DA-{[(12 months average index)-306.33]/306.33}-50 x 100

• The present method of calculation of DA based is called Laspeyere’s fixed base methodology. The inflation index using this methodology captures the cost of buying a basket of goods (fixed in the base year) at current prices relative to the cost of buying the same basket of goods at base year prices.

• However economic theories postulate that if a price of commodity increases viz-a-viz other goods the consumer adjusts his consumption basket to buy less of the goods- the prices of which have increased more and more of goods – the prices of which have increased lesser or has fallen. Further some new goods could also get included in his basket. The shift in consumption pattern is therefore not envisaged in the above formula. The chain based technique in calculation of the index for inflation considers change in quantity of the materials as well as their cost and therefore 6th CPC has recommended this method. The increase calculated by this method will be lesser than the existing method.

Dearness allowance• To switch over to chain based technique in calculation of index for

inflation, the sixth CPC has recommended that the National statistical commission be asked to make a survey covering Govt employees and construct a consumption basket representative of govt employees and formulate a separate index and also review the basket of goods from time to time based on consumption. Chain based technique will be more complex as the pattern of consumption differs at different levels/grades of staff.

• Till such time the Govt to keep revising the base year in the existing fixed based index method as frequently as possible. The base should be switched from 1982=100 to 2001=100.

• No merging of DA with basic pay at any stage as increment is incremental.
