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 I 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 formulat ion 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
ih
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, Additiona l Secretary
