There is no explanation in the report of 7th CPC about the suggestion regarding the 2 Increment Days in respect of Central Government employees given by the NC JCM Staff Side.

Prior to the 6th Pay Commission, there was separate increment date for each central government employees. Sixth Pay Commission recommended uniform increment date for all the central government employees and the new conditions for granting of increment. As per the sixth CPC recommendations, Government servants completing six months and above in the same Grade Pay as on 1st of July are eligible to be granted the Increment. One who joins duty on or after 2nd January 2015, will get his annual increment on 1st July of next year i.e after rendering 17 months of service. In such a way, those who are retiring on 30th June are denied annual increment even after completing 12 months’ service in same Grade pay.

The NC JCM had highlighted such anomalies in detail to the 7th Pay Commission(Click to view the Demands). To remove these anomalies NCJCM Staff Side has proposed to recommend two increment dates at the interval of six months i.e 1st January and 1st July of every year. It is expected that, if it is accepted by 7th CPC, it will address the above issues. But unfortunately 7th CPC didn’t accept this proposal and said nothing about that.

Further, it followed same recommendation of sixth cpc that granting 3% increment on 1st July of every year . But nothing has been said about the criteria for annual increment to be granted. Hence in the context of no recommendation has been made on conditions for granting annual increment, it can be assumed that the prevailing conditions for granting annual increment to be followed.

So consequent upon implementation of 7th pay commission, there will be no relevance in respect of attendance on 1st January for granting annual increment for serving employees. Finally, the method implemented by the 6th Pay Commission, regarding the qualifications of employees to receive the annual increments, is very likely to continue after 01.01.2016. But the commission is proposing withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service.

Yearly Increment for Central Government Employees from July 2015…

As we are in the last six months for the implementation of 7th Central Pay Commission, let us look at the calculation of yearly increment implemented in the 6th CPC.

The 6th Central Pay Commission which came in to effect from January 2006 and fully implemented with allowances like HRA, CCA, etc., from August 2008, presented a totally different look when compared to previous pay commissions. There were different types of decisions, ideas, information and recommendations in it.

The main change was that, it brought a new type of Pay Scales namely Pay in the Pay Band and Grade Pay. In order to maintain records and for easy calculation, the 6th CPC had fixed a common date for the yearly increment irrespective of their appointment date. In the previous pay commissions, the increment was given to an employee on his/her appointment month. For example, if an employee was appointed in the month of January, his/her increment month will be in the same month every year. But the 6th CPC recommended a common date and the month of July every year was fixed as the increment month for all Central Government Employees. This decision was widely appreciated by everyone. A point in the 6th CPC says that, ‘If an employee has completed six months or more in the revised pay structure as per 6th CPC, as on 1st July, he/she will be given one increment…’

In the 5th CPC, an employee’s pay is fixed in the Scale of Pay. If that individual’s scale of pay is – 3050-75-3950-80-4590, he/she gets yearly increment of Rs.75/- up to Rs.3950/- and Rs. 80/- from Rs.4590/-… If the employee reaches maximum of his pay scale, there is no further increment and get stagnated there. There were such instances of employees with no increment for three to four years.

Whereas in the 6th CPC, to remove stagnation, the commission introduced the running pay bands for all posts. If an employee reaches maximum of his pay band, after one year he will be placed in the next pay band providing him one increment. Thus, he/she moves up to the next pay band. It was a good recommendation as far as employees are concerned.

The 6th CPC also recommended that the yearly increment should not be fixed as in 5th CPC, but 3% of the employee’s basic pay should be calculated and added to the basic pay. The increment so calculated, should be rounded off to the next multiple of 10, ignoring the paise, and added to the pay band. For example, if the amount of increment comes to Rs. 1500.80, then the amount will be rounded off to Rs. 1500/- and if the amount comes to Rs. 1501.00, then it will be rounded off to Rs.1510/-.

As of now, no one can predict what will be the recommendations in the 7th CPC…The Commission in its website, said that it had stopped all type of interactions, meetings etc. and it is ready to submit its report to the Central Government in September 2015…

Will the 7th CPC continue the same formulae adopted by the 6th CPC, or it brings any changes in to it…!

Let’s all hope for the best……!

Increment :
The annual increase in pay is drawn as a matter of course from the 1st of July every year, except when it is withheld as a statutory punishment. If a Government employee is on leave or is availing joining time on the 1st July, the increased pay will be drawn only from the date on which he resume duty and not from the first of July…
The annual increment will be 3% of total pay in the running pay band and corresponding grade pay rounded off to next multiple of 10. While rounding off, paisa would be ignored but any amount of a rupee or more would be rounded off to next multiple of 10.

The annual increment in pay will be drawn as a matter of course from the first of July every year, except when it is withheld as a statutory punishment. If a govt. servant is on leave or is availing joining time on the first of July, the increased pay will be drawn only from the date on which he resumes the duty and not from first of July.

The officiating service in a higher grade shall count for increments in an officer and other employee’s substantive grade as well as in the higher grade in which he is officiating and, if there is an intermediate grade between the two in which he would have officiated had he not been appointed to officiate in the higher grade, also in the intermediate grade, but the period during which an officer and other employee is on leave without pay shall not count for increment unless so authorized by the Authority for reasons to be recorded in writing.

The sanction to draw increments shall be given by the competent authority:
Provided that no increment shall be withheld except as a disciplinary measure under these regulations and each order withholding an increment shall state the period for which it is withheld and also whether the postponement shall have the effect of postponing future increments.

We explain with some illustrations…
The increment is an increase in pay for each year in a particular date. As per 6th CPC the annual increment has been granted on 1st July of every year and the qualifying period for earning an increment is six months on 1st July. One increment is equal to 3% (three per cent) of the sum of the pay in the pay band and the grade pay will be computed and rounded off to the next multiple of ten.

As per the Rule No.13 of CCS(Revised Pay) Rules 2008, “In the case of calculation of increments under the revised pay structure, paise should be ignored, but any amount of a rupee or more should be rounded off to next multiple of 10. To illustrate, if the amount of increment comes to Rs.1900.70 paise, then the amount will be rounded off to Rs.1900; if the amount of increment works out to be Rs.1901, then it will be rounded off to Rs.1910.”

And finally the increment amount will be added to the existing pay in the pay band.

For example :
An employee’s pay in the pay band is Rs.10,230 and his grade pay Rs.2800, his basic pay = 10,230 + 2,800 = 13,030

His increment will be calculated as follows…
13,030 x 3% = 390.90
after rounded off to ten, it will be 390 only.

Whereas, the another employee’s pay in the pay band is Rs.10240 and his grade pay Rs.2800, his basic pay = 10,240 + 2,800 = 13,040
His increment will be calculated as follows…
13,040 x 3% = 391.20
then it will be rounded off to Rs.400.
