Recently, orders were issued
for revision of pension based on the ‘notional fixation’ formula which was
different than the 2.57 multiple dispensation. The said orders were discussed
here on this blog on 12 May 2017 wherein it was informed that the revision
shall be undertaken by notionally fixing the pay in the pay matrix recommended
by the 7th CPC in the level corresponding to the pay in the pay scale/pay band
and grade pay at which such pensioners had retired (for pension) or died (for
family pension). This was to be undertaken by notional pay fixation under each
intervening Pay Commission based on the Formula for revision of pay.
The above formula was quite
confusing for those who do not have deep knowledge about pay scales of the past
Pay Commissions.
The Government has hence
issued concordance tables for each rank/grade/scale today to make things easier
for pensioners. The same can be downloaded and accessed by clicking here.
Similar tables for defence pensioners
shall be issued by the Ministry of Defence separately. The formula which
results in the higher payout of pension shall be applicable.
