Some Doubts and Clarifications on Pay Fixation (7th cpc revised Pay) :
Let Mr. X drawing Rs. 16010 (G.P 2800) got promotion (up gradation) under MACP Scheme(G.pay Rs.4200) on 08.04.2016 ? Shall he opt to continue in Old scales up to MACP date ?
Ans. Govt. servant to opt to continue his old scale up to (1) until the date on which he earns next increment / any subsequent increment (ii) until he vacates his post (iii) ceases to draw pay in that scale.
In the above case Mr. X. cannot take option to continue in old scales up to 08.04.2016 i.e on MACP up gradation. His pay will be fixed as on 01.01.2016 and MACP fixed on 08.04.2016 (or DNI as per his option) . The pay fixation is as calculated.
Pay as on 01.01.2016 : 13210 + 2800 (g.p) = 16010

MACP - Pay fixation

Note: But straight away pay fixation on 01.07.2016 by multiplying 18390 * 2.57 = 47262 by fixing at 47600 (in G.pay 4200 pay matrix) is not possible. i.e. Option to continue in old scale up to MACP up gradation and then fixation to new 7cpc pay is not applicable.
NOTE: Let Mr. X - got promotion to IPO (inspector Posts- G.pay 4200 (now g.pay is 4600) for case study taken as 4200.) through LDCE on 08.04.2016. In this case by taking all above data he will opt (after accrual of inct) to fix straight away by multiplying 2.57 * 18390 = 47262 to fix at 47600 . And he will continue to draw old scale up to 08.04.2016. (He forego arrears). This provision comes under “until he vacates his post (PA)” he will opt to draw old pay.
