Expected Pension / Family Pension Table in 7th Pay Commission

Expected Pension / Family Pension Table in 7th Pay Commission

Now, we have attempted to estimate 7th Pay Commission Pension for Central Government Pensioners and Railway Pensioners on the basis of 6th CPC Pension Fixation. Pensioners may please note that this is only an approximate estimation of pension based on the factors taken into account by Government while implementing 6th Pay Commission. So, if 7th Pay Commission adopts different set of principles for determining 7th Pay Commission pension then this estimation may not be correct. Also, due to non-availability of fitment table for 7th Pay Commission Pay revision as of now, 50% of minimum of 7th CPC pay band equivalent to pay scale in which pensioner retired which will be assured by every pay commission could not be calculated.

Government issued Office Memorandum F.No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 01.09.2008 (Click here to read this OM), for implementing 6th CPC recommendations on revised Pension for Pre-2006 Pensioners and Family Pensioners. As per this OM, revised pension / Family Pension with effect from 01.01.2006 is worked out by adding together:


1. Pension / Family Pension and Dearness Pension / Family Pension as on 31.12.2005
2. Dearness Relief of 24% applicable as on 31.12.2005
3. Fitment weigtage at the rate of 40% of Pension / Family Pension as on 31.12.2005.
In addition to the above pension fixation method, as per Para 2 and 3 of OM F.No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 28.01.2013, Pension has to be stepped up to 50% of the sum of minimum of the pay in the pay band plus the grade pay corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale from which the pensioner had retired as arrived at with reference to the fitment tables given in OM No.1/1/2008-IC dated 30th August 2008 (Fitment Table applicable to Central Government Employees for 6CPC revision)
In these lines, we have attempted here to estimate 7th Pay Commission Pension as follows 
7th Pay Commission Pension / Family Pension will be the sum of following values.
1. Pension / Family pension as on 01.01.2016
2. Dearness Relief as on 01.01.2016 (Dearness Relief of 120% has been estimated as on 01.01.2016)
3. Fitment benefit of 40% on Pension / Family Pension as on 01.01.2016.
In respect of Pensioners who retire before 01.01.2016, 7CPC Pension has been calculated as maximum of A and B detailed below:
A. Pension received as on January 2015 is merged with 120% DA as on 01.01.2016 and added with 40% of basic pension as on 01.01.2016 as fitment benefit

B. Revised Pension ordered for Pre-2006 Pensioners as per Department of Pension F.No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 28.01.2013 (Click here to download this OM)

Pay Scale / Pay band wise 7th Pay Commission Pension and Family Pension in respect of Pre-2006 Pensioners (whose pension as on January 2015 is less than the minimum pension stipulated in revised concordance table as per OM dated 28.01.2013

7th Central Pay Commission: The Services should ensure a better deal for the Short Service Commission Scheme

The 7th Central Pay Commission: The Services should ensure a better deal for the Short Service Commission Scheme - Article by Maj Navdeep Singh on IndianMilitaryInfo.in

Now that the issues tagged with the 7th Central Pay Commission are gaining momentum, it is very important to again bring to light the matters related to the scheme of Short Service Commission, which arguably is being thought of as the backbone of the officer cadre of the defence services for the future.
A few years ago, the Short Service Commission Scheme of the Army was regressively tweaked from the earlier 5+5+4 system to the 10+4 system making service of 10 years compulsory in the Army for such officers. This was ostensibly done to make the scheme more ‘attractive’, but ironically, this is the greatest disservice that could ever be rendered and has had just the opposite effect. The reasons why I say so can be fathomed from this old post of mine:


A. There is no seniority protection in the civil services for former SS officers anymore, which means that an ex-SSCO starts his/her civil career alongwith civil direct recruits 10 years younger to him/her and atleast two ranks junior to his/her former status in the Army.
B. If joining the corporate world, the ex-SS officer again starts at a point of the ladder where he/she competes with youngsters who already have had a head-start which the former SS officer missed out due to his/her joining the Army.
C. Ex-Servicemen benefits are entitled only on completion of terms of engagement which means that the said benefits which were earlier available after 5 years, are now available after serving for 10.
D. 10% of appointments at Assistant Commandant (Lieutenant equivalent) level in the CAPFs are reserved for SSCOs. There is no protection of seniority. Hence, ex-SSCOs of Major and Lt Col level are expected to join at Lieut level (GP 5400) in the CAPFs which makes the entire reservation redundant.
E. After completing 10 years of service, an SSCO is in his/her 30s and to expect him/her to then look around for a fruitful career, in my opinion, is otiose.
It may be important to point out that in the civil services, in accordance with Rule 49 (2) (b) of the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972, civil employees become eligible for pension after serving the govt for 10 years, whereas our SSCOs are released without a pension and are only granted a gratuity even after serving 14 years. After the 6th CPC, civil employees are now entitled to full pension after serving 10 years under the ibid rule (it was 33 years for full pension prior to 6th CPC). Of course the 10 year rule on the civil side only applies to those who are released or retired after completing 10 years and not to voluntary retirees.
On learning that the defence services had made no recommendation of a proper pension scheme for SSCOs to the 7th CPC, I had duly pointed out its very pertinent requirement if we were to ensure retention of talent in this very important cadre of the defence services.
In short, the top brass of the Ministry of Defence and also the defence services, without being unduly guided by personal opinions of their staff, must take a holistic view and address the following issues to retain talent in the Short Service Commission and to maintain the izzat and sheen of the military rank in the civil society in general:
(1) Reverting back to the system of 5+5+4 years terms of engagement rather than the 10+4 years which leaves our officers neither here nor there.
(2) Introduction of pension after 10 years for those who opt to continue beyond 5 years on the lines of Rule 49 (2)(b) on the civil side, or a suitable contributory pension scheme.
(3) Ensuring retention and protection of seniority and status in the civil services for SSCOs.
(4) Restoration of outpatient medical facilities to released SSCOs and ECOs whichwere illegally withdrawn by the Director General of Armed Forces Medical Services.
Though the above steps are not exhaustive, it is only now that putting our brains together could make any positive dent, otherwise, the matter would further be postponed for another 10 years to the next pay commission. The Services HQ should stand up and take a call!

7CPC: MHA for pay on par with Army for paramilitary forces in 7th CPC

7CPC: MHA for pay on par with Army for paramilitary forces

 In a move that will benefit over nine lakh paramilitary personnel, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has proposed to the Seventh Pay Commission a “special pay” on par with the Army and has also batted for a better leave structure for the personnel who are deployed for counter-insurgency operations across the country. If MHA’s proposal to give extra allowance to the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) personnel is accepted, a constable will be richer by at least Rs 48,000 per annum.
The Seventh pay Commission was constituted by the UPA government in February 2014, just before they went out of power. The MHA has also proposed creation of the post of a “head constable” in every section (roughly comprising 11 personnel) for better promotion opportunity.

“A standard company of any paramilitary generally consists of 100 personnel, which has nine sections. Presently there are only two head constables (HC) per section and if the MHA’s proposal is accepted, one more post of HC will be added,” said a senior official.
The Seventh Pay Commission will revise the salaries of over 50 lakh central government employees and remuneration of 30 lakh pensioners. The Sixth Pay Commission that was set up in 2006 cost the exchequer an additional Rs 26,035 crore.
A large number of paramilitary forces officers have quit in the last five years due to stagnation and tough working conditions. Around 9,000 personnel quit BSF, CRPF, ITBP, CISF and SSB due to unfavourable working conditions.
“While in the Army an officer is entitled to 20 casual leaves and jawans are entitled for 30 casual leaves, in the CAPF all the personnel are entitled to 15 days casual leave. The MHA has proposed to increase this too,” the official said.

“It has been a longstanding demand of CAPF to provide them parity with the Army as the nature of their duties have changed over the years. They are deployed in areas affected by Maoists, which have tough living conditions and are also prone to high risk,” the official said.
