Compilation of Seventh Central Pay Commission Report

The Seventh Central Pay Commission has submitted its report to the Government on 19.11.2015. The report broadly covers the principles of Pay Determination and Pay Scales, Allowances and Facilities for both Civilians and Defence Forces personnel, Pension and related benefits, Pay Scales for specific posts in various Ministries, Departments, Regulatory Bodies, employees of the Supreme Court of India, etc. The report will not only affect millions of Government employees and pensioners but will also have wide ranging repercussions in the public and private sectors. The report of the 7^th CPC makes a major departure from its predecessors, insofar as the pay structured is concerned. The report while dispensing with the existing Pay Bands and Grade Pays has suggested Pay Levels (which by and large correspond to the existing grade pays with certain alignments). The Commission has proposed a Pay Level Matrix for the purpose of pay fixation of the employees.
