(Para
10.1.43 of the Report)

The Commission recommend the following pension formulation   for  civil employees   including CAPF          personnel     who have     retired     before 0.1.0.1.20.16

(i) 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.    This amount shall be raised,  to arrive  at the  notional pay of the retiree,  by  adding the  number  of increments  he / she had earned  in that level while in service,  at the rate of  three   percent.     Fifty percent  of  the total amount  so arrived  at shall be the revised pension.

(ii) The  second calculation   to be carried  out is as follows.    The  pension, as  had  been fixed  at  the time of implementation  of the VI CPC recommendations,    shallnbe  multiplied   by 2.57  to arrive at an alternate  value for the revised pension.

(iii) Pensioners    may   be given   the   option of choosing   whichever    formulation    is beneficial   to them. It is recognized  that the fixation  of pension  as per formulation   in (i) above  may take a little time since the   records of  each   pensioner will   have  to be checked   to  ascertain the  number   of increments earned    in   the retiring    level.       It is   therefore recommended   that in the first  instance  the revised pension  may be calculated  as at (ii) above and the same  may, be paid as an interim
measure.   In the event  calculation   as per  (i) above  yields a higher amount       the       difference        may       be       paid subsequently.(Para    10. 1.67 and    Para
10.1.68 of the Report)

The first  option may be made feasible after examination by the Committee comprising Secretary (Pension)   as Chairman and Member (Staff). Railway Board, Member   (Staff), Department of Posts, Additional Secretary &  Financial Adviser, Ministry

of Home Affairs and Controller General of Accounts as Members
