Unique Features of the 7th Central Pay Commission Pay Matrix

A unique pay fixation table called 'Pay Matrix' has been implemented by the 7th Central Pay Commission for all Central Government officers and employees of all categories. Previously, the 6th Central Pay Commission had implemented the 'Grade Pay and Running Pay Band' system, but the 7th Central Pay Commission has suggested a new system.

Here are some of the features and benefits of the Pay Matrix:

The concerns raised by several different stakeholders with regards to the previous pay structure were resolved thanks to the subsuming of pay bands and grade pay into a single composite level.
Variable spacing was corrected between adjacent pay bands and grade pay through rationalisation, but there was some disparity between Pay Band - 3 and Pay Band - 4, which has been justified through the process of normalisation. Doing so has helped in resolving some of the demands made to upgrade the grade pay.
The problems regarding differential pay have been addressed.
Revised pay fixation is now simplified to a significant extent in the new pay matrix. There is no need to carry out further calculations. Individuals who draw a basic pay from the date on which the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission were implemented will see their pay multiplied by a factor of 2.57. The figure derived by multiplying the pay by 2.57 will be matched to the nearest amount in the level related to the individual's current pay and will hence be fixed there.
The administration of the new pay matrix is said to be significantly easy in comparison with the administration of the previous pay matrix.
Employees will be allowed to traverse vertically as well as horizontally. Vertical traversing is done within a certain level in the new pay matrix through yearly progression. Horizontal traversing is done across different levels through Modified Assured Career Progression and is based on regular promotions. Doing so will enable the employees to have a clear idea about their career trajectory across levels and the tenure of service.
There will be greater transparency and visibility in the new pay matrix so far as the actual pay drawn is concerned. The previous system was transparent to an extent, but the new matrix will be far more visible. The new pay matrix will also show the exact amount an individual will be paid based on the number of years he/she has been serving in each level.
The new pay matrix is also expected to offer a complete and ambiguous view of the pay system in the Indian government.
Analysis of the pay matrix can be done to obtain crucial information related to trends in pay progression, the number of employees being hired and those retiring at different levels, the number of employees working at each level, the financial outgo at different levels, the promotional trends of different cadres, etc.
