Flaws in Pay Matrix of 7th CPC: Less benefit on grant of Promotional Pay Scale i.r.o. Next Pay Scale

Pay fixation on promotion from UDC to Assistant immediate next pay scale is found more beneficial than the hierarchical promotion. Fixation of a UDC drawing Rs. 10960+2400 promoted to Assistant is given below:

Pay in PB in 6th CPC Pay Scale	10960
Grade Pay in 6th CPC Pay Scale	2400
Total Basic Pay in 6th CPC Pay Scale	13360
Fixation of Pay in New 7th CPC with factor 2.57	34435
New Basic Pay in New Pay Matrix	34300
Increment on 1.7.2016	35300

Fixation on Pay scale hierarchy i.e., 2800 GP

Increment on Promotion	1059
Total of Basic Pay and Increment	36359
Pay fixed at higher stage in 2800 Grade Pay	37000

Fixation on Promotional hierarchy i.e. Rs 4200 GP

Increment on Promotion	1059
Total of Basic Pay and Increment	36359
Pay fixed at higher stage in 4200 Grade Pay	36500

Similar deficiencies may be noticed in other cases also. For similar cases multiplication factor should be increased. Two increments should be granted on promotion.
