7th CPC Pay Fixation
Pay Fixation in the New Pay Structure
Fitment Factor for CG Employees: Uniform Fitment factor of 2.57 is being proposed to be applied uniformly for all employees. It includes a factor of 2.25 on account of DA neutralisation, assuming that the rate of Dearness Allowance would be 125 percent at the time of implementation of the new pay. [Para 5.1.27 in 7th CPC Report]

| 6th Central Pay Commission | 1.86 | Rs.7000 |

Fitment Factor for Defence Personnel: The starting point of a Sepoy (and equivalent), the entry level personnel in the defence forces, has been fixed in the Defence Pay Matrix at Rs.21,700. The fitment in the new matrix is essentially a multiple factor of 2.57. This multiple is the ratio of the new minimum pay arrived at by the Commission (Rs.18,000) and the existing minimum pay (Rs.7,000). The fitment factor is being applied uniformly to all employees. An identical fitment of 2.57 has also been applied to the existing rates of Military Service Pay (MSP), applicable to defence forces personnel only [Para 5.2.7 in 7th CPC Report]

Pay Fixation Example: An employee ‘T’ in GP 4200, drawing pay of Rs.20,000 in PB-2. The Basic Pay is Rs.24,200 (20,000+4200). After multiplying by 2.57, the amount fetched viz., Rs.62,194 would have been located in Level 6 and T’s pay would have been fixed in Level 6 at Rs.62,200.
