Agenda Items For NAC Meeting : Lesser Pay In Higher Level Of Pay Matrix

Agenda Items for NAC Meeting : Lesser Pay in higher Level of Pay Matrix

Item No 8: Lesser Pay in higher Level of Pay Matrix

The construction of Pay Matrix has opened up very many anomalies. From the illustration given hereunder, it could be seen that a person in higher Pay level but drawing same basic pay of person in the lower pay level gets lesser pay. It could also be seen that certain stage in PB-2 GP 5400 has more benefit than a similarly placed employee in PB3 GP 5400. (see the table). The Pay Matrix therefore has to be changed to remove the anomaly.

The Basic Pay from the stage 3 of Level 9 of the Pay Matrix recommended by 7th Central Pay Commission shall be higher than of stage 1 of level 10 for a same amount of pre revised basic pay (Pay in Pay Band + Grade Pay) for the grade pay of Rs 5400 in PB 2 and Rs 5400 in PB 3. As per the 7th CPC chart on Pay Matrix the pay for level 9 and 10 are as follows:

GP 5400 in PB 2		GP 5400 in PB 3		Lesser pay in Higher Grade pm
Stages	Pay	Stages	Pay	Amount
1	53100
2	54700
3	56300	1	56100	200
17	85100	15	84900	200
18	87700	16	87400	300
23	101700	21	101400	300
24	104800	22	104400	400
