Hon’ble Minister of Finance Govt. of India
Sub: Inadequate Fitment benefit recommended by 7th CPC and accepted by the Govt.
Respected Sir,
1. The 2.57 fitment factor recommended by the 7th CPC and accepted by the Govt. is essentially a multiple factor which is the ratio of the new minimum pay arrived at by the 7th Pay Commission (18,000) and the existing minimum pay (7000)
(Para 5.2.7 of 7th CPC Report)
“5.2.7 Fitment: The starting point of a Sepoy (and equivalent), the entry level personnel in the defence forces, has been fixed in the Defence Pay Matrix at ₹21,700. The starting point in the existing pay structure is ₹8,460 for a Sepoy/equivalent. The fitment in the new matrix is essentially a multiple factor of 2.57. This multiple is the ratio of the new minimum pay arrived at by the Commission (₹18,000) and the existing minimum pay (₹7,000). The fitment factor is being applied uniformly to all employees. It includes a factor of 2.25 to account for DA neutralisation, assuming that the rate of Dearness Allowance would be 125 percent at the time of implementation of the new pay as on 01.01.2016. The actual raise/fitment being Report of the Seventh CPC recommended by the Commission is 14.29 percent. An identical fitment of 2.57 has also been applied to the existing rates of Military Service Pay (MSP), applicable to defence forces personnel only.”
This provides only 14.29% rise in salary as well as in pension which is the historically lowest raise given by any govt in the past seventy years this has happened because of incorrect calculation of minimum revised salary resulted not only by adopting lower prices of commodities but also due to adoption of Aykroyd formula without updating it.
2. It is surprising as to how a gender biased formula of Dr Aykroyd adopted by ILC in 1957 is applied, without updating, in digital India of 2016. In today’s scenario how can Indian civil society accept a formula for minimum requirement including just 2700 fond calories for a family of four with moderate physical activities which treat the lady of the house as 0.8 compared to the adult mate of the house, further more so this formula does not at all take into consideration the minimum requirement of todays digital india i.e. smart mobile phone with an internet connection.
3. considering wife to be.80 unit is nothing but gender bias indicating a colonial mindset of Dr. Arkroyd. In the present scenario a wife too puts in the same amount rather more of physical and intellectual work as compared to the husband she needs more nutrients & healthcare to keep herself fit to be a mother and as an educationist for her school going children. she needs more better clothing than 1957. A lady whether she is a wife of a labourer or of a secretary to govt. of india has a basic right to keep herself reasonably presentable for which she needs some minimum add-one. As such treating her to be less than a unit is gross injustice, gender bias and unconstitutional. Similarly growing children of less than 14 years need more of proteins, fats & carbohydrates, need to take sufficient exercise & field activities for healthy growth. Today they need much better and more clothing. better education & healthcare compared to 50s. The nation needs healthy & stout young citizens. It is against the National interest to restrict their need based minimum requirement to.6 unit.
4. Sir, in view of the facts enumerated in fore going paras. Minimm salary & consequently the fitment factor for both pensioners & employees need upwards revision. Bharat pensioners Samaj therefore appeal to you to revisit the issue to take a favourable decision.
Thanking you in anticipation,
yours faithfully

CABINET DECISION ON IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATION OF
7TH CPC
SAVE DEMOCRACY AND: Let’s fight for right.
Dear Sirs,
All of us know, democracy is a form of government in which the legislative body (Law & rules making authority). We found that this theme was not adequate unless we explained some of the key words used in it. Through a series of examples we worked out four features of democracy as a form of Government. Accordingly, democracy is a form of government in which:
* Rulers elected by the people take all the major decisions;
* Election offer a choice and fair opportunity to the people to change the Current rulers, if they deemed not fit;
* This choice and opportunity is available to all the people on an equal basis; and,
* The exercise of this choice leads to a government limited by basic Rules of the
Constitution and citizens’ rights.
After declaration of Cabinet decision on implementation of the recommendation of the 7th CPC with 14.29 % hike in salary/pension as on 01.01.2016, the central government employees and pensioners are deeply depressed with the meagre increased of their salary/Pension after long span (i.e.) of ten years. Really, the victims are tearing down and crying heartily and affect with mentally agony severely with thus injustice consideration of Government. With this resentment, our council, federations have highlighted upon and put forth the employees/pensioners grievances through chatter of demands and being nonplus, they even served Memo for indefinite strike notice from 11.07.2016, even though, Govt keeps mums and did not take kindly to the CG employees & pensioners and reconsider of 7th CPC decisions till now.
Single line of “Cabinet decision”, command and obedience is not be tolerated by the CG employees and Pensioners. For well being and prosperous of the Govt citizens families, Govt. is to bears and responsibility with the balance sheet of relationship (citizens rights & situation of country) as development cannot be progress without responsibility.
Increased of 14.29 % in salary and pension hike and gaining of Rs.2500-3600 (approximated) therein after ten years span is better not to say. This meagre amount is even not touch the monthly savings interest of high superior official. Definitely superior officials and our legislative aristocrats will be little bothered for middle class and lower employees, as the market and cost of things are same, the fluctuation is same, it will never affect them, as well as their 7th CPC fitment multiplication factor is also however much good.
Hence, if the challenge mode from the grass root levels is effective, probably the Honourable PM Shri Modi Ji would put up a better show.
The VII CPC has arrived at a factor of 2.57 for multiplication with the pre-revised Pay and Grade Pay to arrive at new basic Pay. Pay in the pay band and Grade Pay is to be deemed as 100%, the D.A. as on 1/1/2016 exhibited 125%, thus total arrived at 225% in other words 2.25 factors. This is the actual Pay, Grade Pay and D.A; a government servant would be drawing as on 1/1/2016 under the VI CPC pay pattern. It is learnt and presumed that VII CPC has added as ten years bonanza of 32 % in uniformity to all employees and Pensioners as fitment factor in the existing Pay in Pay Band and Grade Pay and arrived (225 % + 32 % ) = 257 % (i.e) 2.57 multiplication fitment factor.
Our many aspirants, presumed and mistaken that, our salary and pension is hiked by 32%, as our Pay + DA already taken (i.e) (100 + 125 =225) + 32% = 257% means 32% hike.
Here, our aspirant may likely to note that Pay in the Pay Band and Grade Pay and DA as of 01.01.2016 i.e. (100%+125%) =225% and direct multiple of 2.57 uniform fitment factor with their Pay & Pension does not mean to 32% of Pay & Pension hike as of 01.01.2016.
The following given illustration may help many aspirants for their doubt clear.
ILLUSTRATION:
Suppose A is retired on Pay of Rs.17700 with Grade Pay of Rs.4600 in PB-II (9300-34800) on 1.11.15 (FN). Accordingly, he has been sanctioned basic pension of Rs.11, 150/- (i.e) 50% of Pay (17700 +4600 =22300) as per 6th CPC.
“A” has earned 5 increments in the same Pay Band during his retirement Level.
Now, you see the difference please.
OPTION- I
As of 01.01.2016, his initial pension is fixed under 7th as per 7th CPC (using a multiple factor of 2.57 * 11150 = Rs.28656/-
As of 01.01.2016, as per 6th CPC he was drawing his Pension Rs. (BP-11150 + DA-13938 @125%DA) = Rs.25, 088/-
Thus the increased difference amount in Pension is Rs.28656-25,088 = Rs.3568/-
So, the increased % is only 14.22, not the 32% hike as elaborated above.
If the 32% of Pay and pension hike is thought of consideration by 7th CPC recommendation, the following illustration is appropriated.
As per 7th CPC recommendation Rs.11, 150 may be taken as 100% and DA @ 125% of Rs.11, 150/- (i.e) Rs.13938/- may be taken as 125%. After arriving of sum (i.e) Rs.11, 150 + Rs.13, 938/- = Rs.25, 088/- may be multiplied by 32%. Thus, it would be Rs.25, 088 * 32% = Rs.8.026/- and the total Basic Pension would be Rs. 25,088 + Rs.8.088 = Rs.33, 116/- which is the ideology of 7th CPC recommendation (100%+125%+32%) =257% @ 2.57 factor.
The direct multiplication of Pay or Pension by 2.57 uniform fitment factors never constitute 32% hike on Pay and Pension as illustrated above.
OPTION –II
Note: 7th Pay Commission states that all the civilian personnel including CAPF who retired prior to 01.01.2016 (expected date of implementation of the Seventh CPC recommendations) shall first be fixed in the Pay Matrix being recommended by this Commission, on the basis of the Pay Band and Grade Pay at which they retired, at the minimum of the corresponding level in the matrix and arrive the Basic Pension by granting notional increments @ 3% so earned in the retirement level.

Here, the Govt servant is retired in the Pay of Pay band Rs.17,700 with Grade Pay of Rs.4600/-, thus the existing Basic Pay of the retiree is (Rs.17700 + Rs.4600/) = Rs.22,300 in the Pay Band of II (9300-34800) as illustrated above A.
Here, the minimum of the corresponding level in the 7th Pay Commission in Pay Matrix table is drawn as Rs.58, 600/- (as per level-7 & index-10).
(i) Notional Pay Fixation based on 5 increments @ 3% on the minimum corresponding level of Rs.58,600/- which is arrived at Rs.67,933/-
(ii) 50 percent of the notional pay so arrived (i.e.) 67933/2 =Rs.33,967/-
Here, the Govt. Servant “A” (retiree) Basic pension as of 01.01.2016 is to be fixed Rs.33,967/- which is higher than Option-I Rs.33,114/-.
This 2.57 factor is also well appropriate to arrive 7th CPC Pay fixation calculation with differences between OPTION-I & OPTION II in the above manner.
In view of the above fact and circumstances, I take it presumed that the theme and ideology of 7th CPC recommendation with 2.57 uniform fitment factors of every Employees and Pensioners of seems to be fit, but interpretation of the ideology of 2.57 factor and formulated calculation methods seems not to be fitted, as it does not proves the constitute of (100%+125%+32%) = 257% @ 2.57 Pay and Pension with direct multiplication of Pay and Pension with thus much difference in OPTION-I and OPTION –II in the 7th CPC formulated Calculation.
Hence, all Associations, federations, Aspirants are humbly requested to go through the above self ideology and examine the theme, if deem appropriate, the Cabinet may be apprised the 2.57 factors and it differences of Pay and Pension between OPTION-I and OPTION-II , And to increase the minimum Pay and Fitment factor.
DISCLAIMER: If any errors and mistakes found in highlighted ideology, calculation and wrong interpretation and anything else, I beg apology with VALUABLE suggestion please.
THANKS & REGARDS TO ALL READERS.

The govt. should accept and implement the advantage of earned increments for pensioners immediately .Even after acceptance few months would be required to collect the required data.The govt must accept the responsibility of making available the data.
The pensioners would of course help by providing the data available with them.The issue deserves high priority because the persons involved are high in age.
