7th CPC expected pay scales and a brief
on Previous Pay Commissions
First Pay Commission
The first pay commission was constituted in 1946
and the government appointed Srinivasa Varadacharia as Chairman of this
commission. The first pay commission was based upon the idea of “living
wages” to the employees, this idea was taken from the Islington Commission and
the commission observed that “the test formulated by the Islington Commission
is only to be liberally interpreted to suit the conditions of the present day
and to be qualified by the condition that in no case should be a man’s pay be
less than a living wage.
The minimum basic pay for Class IV staff has been
raised from Rs. 10/- to Rs. 30/- and for Class III from Rs. 35/- to Rs. 60/-
per month.
The Commission had fixed Rs. 55/- as minimum
wage (Rs. 30 plus Rs. 25 as Dearness Allowance). The recommendations
were accepted and implemented in 1946.
Second Pay Commission
10 years after independence, the second pay
commission was set up in August 1957. Shri Jaganath Das was appointed as
Chairman of this Commission. The second pay commission finished its report
within two years and submitted it to the Government. The recommendations of the
second pay commission had a financial impact of Rs 396 million.The second pay
commission reiterated the principle on which the salaries have to be
determined. It stated that the pay structure and the working conditions of the
government employee should be crafted in a way so as to ensure efficient
functioning of the system by recruiting persons with a minimum qualification.
The Commission revised the pay scales by merging 50% of the Dearness Allowance
with basic Pay and it recommended Rs. 80 as the minimum remuneration(Basic
Pay Rs. 70plus DA Rs.10/-) payable to a Government employee.
Third Pay Commission
Shri. Raghubir Dayal was appointed as Chairman of
the third pay commission. It was set up in April 1970 and gave its report in
March 1973. The commission took almost 3 years to submit the report,. The main
demand of employees for a need based minimum wage as per the norms of 15th
Indian Labour Conference was accepted in principle even though Commission
evolved its own concept of need based wage.
The Third Pay Commission recommended Minimum
remuneration of Rs. 185 per month.
By taking into the consideration of
employee’s views Government modified some of the recommendations of the
Commission and minimum wage was raised from Rs. 185 per month to Rs. 196/- per
month.
The pay scales of group ‘D’, ‘C’ and ‘B’ of Third
Pay commission and IV pay commission given below. In the case of minimum basic
pay of each scale of Pay in the two pay commissions recommended scales given
below , it is to be kept in mind that 4th CPC pay was increased by 2.8 to 3.8
times from 3rd CPC.

FOURTH PAY COMMISSION
The Fourth Pay Commission was constituted in June
1983 and its Chairman was Shri. P N Singhal. But the report of 4th CPC was
submitted to government in three phases within the period of four years. There
from it was started maintaining huge gap between lowest grade and highest
grade as for as pay is concerned.
There was a huge difference in basic pay between
lowest grade and highest grade in IV pay commission pay scales. The basic pay
of lowest grade was Rs.750, where as highest grade was Rs.9000. The pay of top
most grade was 12 times higher than the pay of Group D employee. The Fourth CPC
had recommended the government to constitute permanent machinery to undertake
periodical review of pay and allowances of Central Government employees, but
which got never implemented.
FIFTH PAY COMMISSION
The Fifth Pay Commission was set up in 1994. The
chairman of fifth pay commission was Justice S. Ratnavel Pandian. The
commission gave its report in January 1997. Government accepted most of the recommendations
and issued appropriate order in July 1997. The recommendations were implemented
with effect from 1-1-1996. It recommended to reduce the number of pay scale
from 51 to 34. It is noted that about 93% of the employees were in Group 3
and Group 4.
The minimum Starting Pay has been revised
from Rs. 750/ to Rs. 2550/-. In this, the pay of 5th CPC scale were about 3
times higher than the pay of IV CPC pay Scale. The pay scale starts from
Rs.2550 and ends up with Rs.30000. The hike of 12 times between low level and
top level was also maintained in V pay commission.
The pay scale of IV pay commission and V pay
commission are given below. we need all this reference for working out to reach
a formula to infer what would be the increase in VII pay commission.

SIXTH PAY COMMISSION
Initially the then government refused to set up
sixth pay commission to review the pay and allowances of central government
employees. The then finance minister told that there was no need to constitute
next pay commission since 50 % dearness allowance was already merged with the
basic pay. The employees had threatened to go on a nationwide strike if the
government failed to set up 6th pay commission. In July 2006, the Cabinet
approved setting up of the sixth pay commission. This commission has been set
up under the Chairmanship of Justice B.N.Srikrishna with a timeframe of 18
months to submit the report. The cost of hikes in salaries is anticipated to be
about Rs. 20,000 crore for a total of 3.5 million government employees. The
commission submitted the Report to the Government on March, 24, 2008.
The Sixth Pay Commission mainly focused on removing
ambiguity in respect of various pay scales and mainly focused on reducing number
of pay scales .It recommended for removal of Group-D cadre.
The Fifth CPC had compressed many scales. The
number of pay scales was reduced from 51 pay scales as on 31.12.1995 to 34 pay
scales by the Fifth CPC. In many cases, this led to the promotion and feeder
cadres being placed in an identical pay scale. Although Department of
Expenditure issued orders that existence of the feeder and promotion posts in
the same pay scale will not constitute an anomaly, however, these orders have
consistently been rejected by the various courts of this country. The sixth pay
Commission, therefore, decided to evolve a new system of pay scales that would
effectively address most of the existing anomalies.
To remove stagnation, introduction of running pay
bands for all posts in the Government presently existing in scales below that
of Rs.26,000 (fixed).
The total number of grades reduced to 20 spread
across four distinct running pay bands; one Apex Scale and another grade for
the post of Cabinet Secretary/equivalent as against 35 standard pay scales
existing earlier.
Four distinct running pay bands being recommended –
one running band each for all categories of employees in groups ‘B ’and ‘C
’with 2 running pay bands for Group A posts.
Annual increments to be paid in form of three
percent of the total of pay in the Pay Band and the corresponding grade pay.
The date of annual increments, in all cases, is first of July. Employees
completing six months and above in the scale as on July 1 will be eligible.
The revised pay bands have been implemented
retrospectively from 1.1.2006. The Fifth CPC also had recommended
implementation of the next Pay Commission’s revised pay scales from 1.1.2006.
This was also in consonance with demands of a majority of the Associations of
Government employees that had sought implementation of Sixth CPC revised pay
scales from 1.1.2006.
Minimum salary at the entry level of PB-1 pay band
is Rs.7000 (Rs.5200 as pay in the pay band plus Rs.1800 as grade pay). Maximum
salary at the level of Secretary/equivalent is Rs.80000. The minimum: maximum
ratio 1:12. The increase from V CPC to VI CPC in all grades starts from 2.4
times to 3.7 times. The increase ratio between 5th pay commission and 6th pay
commission is 1:3

7CPC estimated Pay Scales
Obviously it is simple thing, we can say it a
mathematical coincidence that we have in common in all previous pay commission,
but we cannot neglect this. Because it was there, every time it is noticed that
the revised pay was approximately three times higher than its pre revised pay.
Apart from all the factors which has been used to determine the pay revision,
we can use this simple formula ‘common multiplying factor’ to know the 7th pay
commission pay scale . If next pay commission prefer to continue the same
running pay band and grade pay system for seventh pay commission also, the pay
structure may be like the following projected figures given below, using common
multiplying factor ‘3’. The Following is only the projected figure using common
multiplying factor ‘3’
