‘In Chapter 30 we have recommended the method for fixation of pay in the proposed scales for civilian employees, we recommend that 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.”

Chapter 28.113. also states ‘The following illustrations indicate the manner in which pay should be fixed for armed forces personnel” which are given in the table after Fixation of Pay in proposed scales for Civilian officers.
   
Para 30.2 states “We have given careful consideration to all these suggestions. Taking all factors into account we recommend that pay of employees may be fixed in the proposed scales of pay in the following manner: -“ 

(i)                 For all employees, an amount representing 20 per cent of basic pay in the existing scale subject to a minimum of Rs 50/- may be added to the “existing emoluments.” Pay may thereafter be fixed in the proposed scale at the stage next above the emoluments thus computed. If the minimum of the proposed scale is more than the amount so arrived at, pay may be fixed at the minimum of the proposed scale. For this purpose the term “existing emoluments” will include the following: -  

(a) basic pay in the existing scale,

(b) dearness pay, additional dearness allowance, and ad hoc dearness allowance appropriate to the basic pay admissible at index average 608 (1960 = 100), and

(c) amounts of first and second instalments of interim relief admissible on the basic pay referred to in (a) above

Para 30.5 provides illustrations as were done for Para 28.113.

For ease of the readers, illustrations in Para 28.113 and 30.5 (appropriate to Armed Forces scales) are placed side by side.
