COMMENTS
Through para 8(iv)of OM No. A-60015/1/2016/MF.CGA(A)/NGE/7th CPC/480 Dated: 10th August, 2017, the DOPT seems to be misguiding the true spirit of giving bunching effect by stating the quote at para 5.1.36 of the 7CPC report to minimize the same.Para 8(iv) of the said OM states as under,
"All pay stages lower than the Entry pay in the 6th CpC pay structure as
indicated in the pay Matrix contained in the 7th cpc Report are not to
be taken into account for determining the extent of bunching."
If this be taken so, then the example given in para 5.1.37 of 7cpc report and and the subsequent acceptance of the same by the government and the OMs dated 07.09.2016 and 13.06.2017 prove to be wrong, because pay mentioned in both cases in para 5.1.37 are below the minimum pay of the corresponding 7cpc pay level. para 5.1.37 of 7cpcc report says as under.
5.1.37 For instance, if two persons drawing pay of ₹53,000 and ₹54,590 in the GP 10000 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 15 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
15 in the pay of ₹1,48,500.
This may please be noted for n.a.
