Sixth Pay Commission
Fitment
benefit Chapter 1.2.3 The
efforts of the (Sixth) Commission have been to devise a suitable pay package
which will not only provide enough incentive to retain the brightest officers
but also attract the best to join it in future. The quantum of fitment has been
decided, accordingly. At the time of Fifth Central Pay Commission, fitment of
20% of the pre-revised basic pay was recommended. This was subsequently raised
by the Government to 40%. The Commission is recommending a new structure of
running pay bands and grade pay. In the structure, grade pay has been normally
taken at 40% of the maximum of the pre-revised pay scale. Grade pay is,
therefore, in the nature of fitment benefit.
The pay in
the running pay band, as on 1/1/2006, has been computed by adding the basic pay
and dearness allowance at the rate of 74% that would have been payable on the
existing Fifth CPC pay scales w.e.f. 1/1/2006 had merger of dearness allowance
equal to 50% of the basic pay not been allowed from 1/4/2004.
Anomalies
in pay scales. Chapter 1.2.20. All
the individual upgradations recommended by the Commission shall, in no case,
take effect before 1.1.2006. This is because the Commission has no intention of
rectifying these anomalies right from the time of their inception and is of the
view that interest of justice will be served if these anomalies are rectified
for the present and the future.
Defence
Forces Chapter 1.2.24 The
Commission has recommended parity between various posts in the Defence Forces
and civilian employees. Establishing such parity was necessary for another
major recommendation contained in the Report concerning lateral movement of the
Defence Forces personnel to Central Para Military Forces (CPMFs), other Central
Police Organizations and Defence Civilian Organisations. Such lateral movement
would not only result in large savings for the Government but will also help in
providing continuous employment to the various grades of Defence Forces
personnel and make available a trained and disciplined force for the use of the
nation. This will also have numerous other benefits, which have been discussed
in detail in Chapter 2.4 of the Report. The pay scales for the Defence Forces have
been devised accordingly. As mentioned earlier, the Commission has also
recommended a separate element of pay called Military Service Pay for the
Defence Forces keeping in view the difficulties specific to the military life.
The Military Service Pay is to be treated as pay for all purposes (excluding
increments) but will not be available once Defence Forces personnel shift to
the CPMFs, etc. The concept has been discussed in detail in Chapter 2.3
relating to pay scales of Defence Forces personnel.
Pay Fixation Chapter 2.2.21. Fixation has been done ……in the following manner:-
(i) The
basic pay (add Rank Pay after Ld Attorney General's opinion) drawn as on 1/1/2006 on the existing Fifth CPC pay scales along with
dearness allowance at the rate of 74% (which would have been payable on the
Fifth CPC pay scales had merger of 50% dearness allowance as dearness pay not
been allowed w.e.f. 1/4/2004) have been totalled and then rounded off to next
multiple of 10. This has been taken as the pay in the revised running pay band.
(ii) The
grade pay has been computed at the rate of 40% of the maximum of the basic pay
in each of the pre-revised pay scale. Where two or more pre-revised pay scales
have been merged the maximum of the highest pre-revised pay scale has been
taken and 40% thereof is given as grade pay. In some cases, the amount of grade
pay has been adjusted so as to maintain a clear differential between successive
grades pay.
