Principles of Pay Determination
Indian family is considered strong, stable, flexible and enduring and normally it consist of three to four living generations, including brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and grandparents living together in the same home. The official statistics reveal that large segments of the elderly in India are illiterate, out of work force, partially or totally dependent on others and suffering from health problems or physical disabilities. Hence, a person when joins the Government he has to look after his parents, wife, children, brothers and grandparents also. The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 also compels him to take care of his/her parents. It may also be pertinent to note that under clause 2 (d) of this Act even if the parent is not a senior citizen, the responsibility of his maintenance vests with the children.
In such circumstances, the family unit for minimum salary should be taken as Six (06), i.e., 01 Unit = Govt Employee, 01 Unit = Spouse, 02 Unit = 2 Children & 02 Unit = Parents. Total 06 Unit
Therefore, as per consumption pattern as defined by ILO and illustrated in the table below, the yardstick for determination of minimum salary should be based on these considerations/basic requirement of life.
| SL | Item | Consumption per Unit of 3 per Family | Consumption per Unit of 6 per Family | Present Market Rate** | Total Cost Rs. |
| 01 | Wheat/Rice | 470 gms/day = 15 Kg/Month | 30 Kg/Month | 40/Kg | 1200 |
| 02 | Dal/Pulses | 7.2 Kg/Mth | 14.4 Kg/Mth | 90/Kg | 1296 |
| 03 | Raw Veg. | 9 Kg/Mth | 18 Kg/Mth | 40/Kg | 720 |
| 04 | Veg Green Leaf | 11.25 Kg/M | 22.5 Kg/Mth | 30/Kg | 675 |
| 05 | Other Veg | 6.75 Kg/Mth | 13.5 Kg/Mth | 30/Kg | 405 |
| 06 | Fruits | 10.8 Kg/Mth | 21.6 Kg/Mth | 100/Kg | 2160 |
| 07 | Milk | 18 Ltr/Mth | 36 Ltr/Mth | 45/Ltr | 1620 |
| 08 | Sugar | 5 Kg/Mth | 10 Kg/Mth | 35/Kg | 350 |
| 09 | Edible Oil | 3.6 Kg/Mth | 7.2 Kg/Mth | 120/Kg | 864 |
| 10 | Fish | 2.5 Kg/Mth | 5 Kg/Mth | 300/Kg | 1500 |
| 11 | Meat | 5 Kg/Mth | 10 Kg/Mth | 400/Kg | 4000 |
| 12 | Egg | 90 Nos/Mth | 180 Nos/Mth | 5/No. | 900 |
| 13 | Clothing | 5.5 Mtr/Mth | 11 Mtr/Mth | 400/Mtr | 4400 |
| TOTAL | 20090 | ||||
| Add 20% as Fuel Charges | 4018 | ||||
| Add 25% towards Medical, Housing Maint etc | 6027 | ||||
| GRAND TOTAL | 30135 | ||||
** Rates of some of the article mentioned in the table are based on the Average Monthly Consumer Prices of Selected Articles for Industrial Workers, February-2014 issued by Labour Bureau, Govt of India.
It has also been observed that the prices given above are present day prices and are likely to increase by at least 40% by 01-01-2016 (i.e., inflation @ 10% per semester from 01.01.2014 to 31.12.2015) when the 7th CPC will be implemented and hence it would be proper if a boosting of 40% can be given on the above Grand Total to make it realistic as on 01-01-2016.
Therefore, if 40% boosting is given the minimum pay as on 01-01-2016 shall be Rs.42189/- . Hence, this federation demands that gross salary including all allowances would not be less than Rs. 42000/- (Rupees Forty Two Thousands) per month for the lowest category. Considering the above discussions this may be achieved by granting Rs. 35000/- as basic pay (Rs.26000/- as pay in pay band plus Rs. 9000/- as grade pay) plus Rs. 7000/-as various allowances.
Minimum-Maximum Ratio
Considering the importance of disparity in ratio between the minimum and maximum pay the Fourth Central Pay Commission opined (Para 7.58) that an effort should be made not only to reduce the number of pay scales, but also to reduce the disparity between minimum and maximum scales of pay. The Fifth CPC had retained the minimum: maximum salary ratio of 1:10.7 inherent in the Fourth CPC pay scales even though the ratio had become 1:8 in 1996 on account of unequal rates of Dearness Allowance neutralization where the highest category was allowed neutralization at 65%.
Hence, it is our considered opinion that the ratio between the minimum & maximum Salary should be of 1:7.
In case of Cabinet Secretary the maximum salary should be 07 times than a lowest paid employee since the Cabinet Secretary, as the overall CEO of the governing system, have to take and ensure implementation of several policy decisions and his accountability is much more than anyone else.
Hence, the Maximum Basic Pay will be 35000 x 7 = Rs. 2,45000.00 (Rupees Two Lakh Forty Five Thousand) for Cabinet Secretary of India.
Considerations for determining salary for various Levels
The Figure of maximum and minimum salaries would give an arithmetical relationship between the new basic pay and the unrevised basic pay. Normally, the application of such a broad arithmetical ratio may be used for all the existing scales but due to merger of some grade pays or rationalization of pre-revised grade pay this may be re-looked by keeping in the mind the vertical and horizontal relativities of the cadre. It has to be kept in the mind that Pay Band & Grade Pay may not always be enough to fit in every kind or category of employment so a suitable system of “Special pay‟ or allowances can take care of such cases.
Nevertheless, it is once again reiterated that under no circumstances, should the ratio between minimum-maximum pay exceed 1:7.
Proposed General Pay Structure
Continuing the above discussions, we proposed the following revised pay structure on the basis of logic as follows:

| 90000 | 90000 | 2.722 | 245000 | 245000 | ||||
On the recommendation of Sixth CPC various pay scales of erstwhile
Group ‘D’ & Group ‘B’ employees were merged and upgraded but none of the pay scales of Group ‘C’ were merged and upgraded. Hence, we demand that there should be only 03 grade pay each in PB-1 & PB-2 by merging/upgrading as under:-
| Rs. 1900 | Merged & | – | Rs. 2400 |
| Rs. 2000 | Upgraded | ||
| Rs. 2400 | Merged | – | Rs. 2800 |
| Rs. 2800 | |||
| Rs. 4600 | Merged | – | Rs. 4800 |
| Rs. 4800 |
The minimum-maximum ratio has been fixed at 1:7
Only Three Pay Bands have been proposed since consequent upon abolition of Group “D” Posts, there now remains only 3 Groups viz : C, B, and A. PB-I is for Group “C”, PB-II is for Group “B” and PB-III is for Group “A”.
A large span has been kept in PB-III to ensure financial movement to HAG slot of Officers who otherwise do not find promotional space in the slot.
Multiplication Factor (MTF):
Minimum Revised Basic Pay plus GP has been demanded as Rs. 35000 for the employee who is drawing Minimum Basic Pay plus GP Rs. 7000 (pre-revised) hence MTF for Minimum Pay will be 35000 ÷ 7000 =5. Further, Maximum Revised Basic Pay will be 07 times of Revised Minimum Basic Pay plus GP, i.e., 35000 x 7 = 245000 for Cabinet Secretary who is drawing Basic Pay Rs. 90000 (Pre-revised). MTF for Maximum Pay will be 245000 ÷ 90000 = 2.722 .
There are 14 pay scales above the Minimum or below Maximum pay scales after merger as proposed by this federation. The MTF for these intermediary pay scales have been derived by { (5 – 2.722) ÷ 14 = 0.162} and the same has been applied in descending order to determine the relevant pay of other categories.

| 04 | Master Craftsman | 4200 | 4200 | 42000 to O.E. | 42000 | 19000 | 61000 |
It is worth to remind that National Apprenticeship Certificate / National Trade Certificate holders are being recruited as Semi Skilled worker in OFB whereas all other directorates of MOD and Railways are recruited them in Skilled grade. Hence, NAC /NTC holders should not be recruited below Skilled grade.
Further, the Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) vide its Notification G.S.R. 552 (E), Dated 28th July 2009 has amended the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 whereby Master Craftsmen has been granted the Grade Pay of Rs. 4200/- and Highly Skilled Workers are split in a ratio of 50 : 50 and re-designated as Highly Skilled Worker Grade-II (Grade Pay of Rs. 2400 in Pay Band PB – 1) and Highly Skilled Worker Grade-I (Grade Pay of Rs. 2800/- in Pay band PB – 1). According to above, the grade structure of Skilled, Highly Skilled –II, Highly Skilled – I and Master Craftsman has been fixed as under:
| (i) | Skilled | – | 45% |
| (ii) | Highly Skilled Grade II | – | 20.5% |
| (iii) | Highly Skilled Grade I | – | 20.5% |
| (iv) | Master Craftsman | – | 14% |
Simultaneously, Ministry of Railways has also revised the inter grade ratio of Industrial Employees as under:
| (i) | Skilled | – | 20 % |
| (ii) | Highly Skilled Grade II | – | 20 % |
| (iii) | Highly Skilled Grade I | – | 44 % |
| (iv) | Master Craftsman | – | 16 % |
Hence, 07th CPC should recommend for similar inter grade ratio in all the Ministries.
Further, in the Corps of EME, Navy HQrs, Air HQrs sufficient number of Technical Workers are being recruited directly as Highly Skilled with B.Sc./Diploma in Engineering because they are required to handle most sophisticated equipments Radars, Laser Ray Finders, Night Vision Devices Electronic Gadgets, GPS, Multi type Test Equipments etc, hence they should be recruited in the Highly Skilled Grade – I.
There is a need for changes to be made in the pay structure of various cadres in DRDO as the existing pay is not comparable with other Scientific Organisations and also other Departments in Ministry of Defence. Hence, we have suggested different pay structure for various cadres in DRDO:

| This monetary limit of Rs. 500 per Menem has never been revised since 1964. If this monetary limit is correlated to the revised pay of 7th CPC, conduct rule will relax the employees and reduce the supervisor’s burden in the following matters;- | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I am of the opinion that there be a Master Scale(MS) devoid of PB and GP.From the MS only starting pay for each post be fixed by the concerned dept. analyzing each such post.,especially the professional posts,while general posts such as clerks,stenos ,drivers etc may have the same starting pay in all depts.This will avoid overlapping of pay&increment,stagnation,non-functional grade etc.I hope 7th CPC will give a serious thought to this suggestion.
How many time will increase in existing pensioners
