Chapter 28 - Fourth Pay Commission - Armed Forces Personnel

In reply to queries, here is some information

1. from Para 28.1 to 28.9 is the how 4 CPC went about proposals received

2. Para 28.10 & 11 is about the different Arms, Services, Corps and Branches of the Armed Forces 

3.The interesting part starts for Captains to Brigadiers of which relevant parts are re-produced verbatim below
  
Para 28.12.  We have given careful consideration to the joint proposals of the services headquarters. We appreciate that the organisation structure and requirements of (the) services are different. We also think that the pay structure should be such that it makes armed forces attractive as a career and provides a reasonable pay progression to the officers of the services. Taking all factors into account, we recommend the following integrated pay scale for all officers upto the rank of Brigadier and equivalent in the three services: -  

                                                Rs 2300-100-4200EB-100-5000

28.13. We also recommend that, in addition to pay in the above integrated scale, the following rank pays may be given to officers in the Army and their equivalent in the other services: -

                                     Rank                                               Amount of Rank pay
                                                                                                         (Rs p.m.)
                                                                                 
                                   Captain and equivalent                                      200
                                   Major and equivalent                                        400
                                   Lt Col (Selection) and equivalent                      600
                                   Colonel and equivalent                                     800
                                    Brigadier and equivalent                                1200   

In Navy, a Captain, on completion of three years' service in that rank, will draw the rank pay of Rs 1200 p.m. recommended for Brigadier.

28.14. With the adoption of integrated pay scale recommended above, the existing selection grades in the ranks of Major and equivalent and Lt. Colonel and equivalent should be abolished. The integrated pay scale will be applicable to all officers in the three services including officers in the specialised cadres of AMC, ADC and RVC. For officers of MNS, we have recommended separate pay scales.

28.15. The integrated pay scale recommended by us covers a span of 28 years..... (emphasis mine)......

28.16. We have not considered it feasible to include officers of the rank of major generals and above in the proposed integrated pay scale as has been suggested in the joint proposals........

Fixation of pay in the proposed scales

28.113.  In chapter 30 we have recommended the method for fixation of pay in proposed scales for civilian employees. we recommend the same method may be adopted for fixation of pay of armed forces personnel also. Since rank pay is a separate element for officers upto the rank of Brigadier and equivalent, the same may be taken into account while fixing pay in the integrated scale of pay recommended by us. An illustration showing the pay in the integrated scale of pay for army officers of different ranks is given in Annexe 28.1. The following illustrations indicated the manner in which pay should be fixed for armed forces personnel.
