7th Pay Commission Salary Calculator, Recommendation

0 7th Pay Commission

7th Pay Commission Salary Calculator and Recommendation by the Justice Mathur Pay commission – The Seventh Pay Commission on salary hike for the Central Government employees by member of the pay commission have been submitted to Union finance minister Arun Jaitley recommending a 16% hike in basic pay of nearly 5 million central government employees.

The pay commission headed by justice AK Mathur has also recommended the hike in other perk and allowances including HRA etc that will result in an effective 23.51% increase in salaries of central government employees. The total increase, including the additional outgo on account of pensions, is estimated to be 23.55%.

The 7th pay commission recommendations are scheduled to take effect from January 1, 2016. This would benefit around 48 lakh central government employees and 55 lakh pensioners.

Pay Commission has also twisted the OROP demand by defence personnel by recommending One Rank One Pension (OROP) for civilian government employees also. The ceiling of gratuity has been proposed to be enhanced from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh while it would be raised by 25 per cent whenever the DA rises by 50%.

The top ranked government official like Cabinet Secretary is proposed to get Rs 2.5 lakh as against being kept in the Rs 90,000 per month pay band currently.

This settlement is an eye opener for Banker’s Union who have fought for more than three year for 9% settlement. Hope they learn some lesson from these guys.
