7th CPC Pay Matrix Anomaly – Lesser Pay in Higher Level of Pay Matrix: Agenda Items for NAC Meeting

Lesser Pay in higher Level of Pay Matrix

The construction of Pay Matrix has opened up very many anomalies. From the
illustration given hereunder, it could be seen that a person in higher Pay
level but drawing same basic pay of person in the lower pay level gets
lesser pay. It could also be seen that certain stage in PB-2 GP 5400 has
more benefit than a similarly placed employee in PB3 GP 5400. (see the
table). The Pay Matrix therefore has to be changed to remove the anomaly.

The Basic Pay from the stage 3 of Level 9 of the Pay Matrix recommended by
7th Central Pay Commission shall be higher than of stage 1 of level 10 for a
same amount of pre revised basic pay (Pay in Pay Band + Grade Pay) for the
grade pay of Rs 5400 in PB 2 and Rs 5400 in PB 3. As per the 7th CPC chart
on Pay Matrix the pay for level 9 and 10 are as follows:
