What the CoS did about sixth pay commission report
Written by Administrator on August 24th, 2008A review on the major changes / addition on CPC report by the CoS
| Modification | Comments | |
| 1 | Enhanced the revised pay bands recommended by the pay commission to be based on multiplication factor of 1.74 to 1.86 | The fitment had to be (Basic + DP)*24%. The CPC members could not make out this simple calculation? |
| 2 | The Armed Forces Personnel below Officers Rank will get a Military Service Pay (MSP) of Rs 2,000 per month, Rs 1,000 more than that recommended by the Commission. The Officers of the Defence Forces would get an MSP Rs 6000 over and above their salary. | The forces had dedicated and sincere minister to bargain for them. |
| 3 | Increase in the rate of annual increment for 2.5% to 3%. | Removed the performance based increment. After all performance has got a different meaning at government. |
| 4 |
The middle level officers of the Defence Forces, namely Colonels and Brigadiers, have been placed in the highest pay band of PB-4. |
The higher level officers benefit from the increased grade pay. |
| 5 |
Increase in Transport Allowance at the lowest level to Rs 600 (from Rs 400 in A-1/A class cities recommended by the Sixth CPC) and Rs 400 (from Rs 300 in other cities recommended by the sixth CPC). Removal of Campus restriction for grant of Transport Allowance. |
Minor benefit for the lowest level |
| 6 | At least three promotions have been assured for all Defence Forces personnel and civilian employees under the modified Assured Career Progression (ACP) Scheme. While the civilians would get it after 10, 20 and 30 years of service, the Defence Forces Jawans would get ACP in 8, 16 and 24 years. | Only 3 promotions in one’s career? |

what will be the assured career progression scheme to those who had been placed to the next promotion scale under ACPS after 01/01/06 and before the O M dated 30/08/08. Is it applicable to them of granting the higher grade pay of the next promotion post instead of granting the next higher grade pay in the hierachy suggested in the modified scheme

Modified Assured Career Progression has depressed the Group C employees. After 5th pay commission most of the litigation faced by the govt. from this category of employees with regard to disparities in pay scales compared to CSS and CSSS in other organisations and again in 6th CPC has invited the litigation for not granting the ACP on the basis of granting grade pay as per heirarchy of next post available in the organisation and it is really very frustrating to know that what the anomaly committees have done in this regard. Only granting of next grade pay is not giving at all benefit of ACP to the incumbents. Lets something do on it. Everyone is affected badly and it is the only point of discussion amongst the government employees and very much frustrated by this decision. There should be opportunity to opt for ACP or MACP and it should not be imposed.
