Item No. iii. Removal of Condition of 3% stipulated to grant Bunching benefits.

Member Staff Side stated that at many levels of Pay Matrix, the different between 1shall and another is less than 3% of the basic pay of the amount in the lower cell. The benefit of bunching to the employee is denied on the ground that the difference is less than #% which is not reasonable.

Item No. iv. Fixation of Pay on Promotion

Staff Side has pointed out that till the 5th CPC while on promotion under FR- 22(C) one increment in the low pay scale is added and the pay is fixed in the next available stage in the higher/promoted pay scale. After 6th CPC, one increment in the lower pay scale plus the Grade Pay difference was given while on promotion /ACP/ MACP. After 7th CPC, the promotion benefit is restricted to only one increment. This not justified and therefore, grant of two increments on promotion is justified.

 Item No. v. Removal of anomaly in the Pay Matrix

 The Staff Side attracted the attention toward the condition wherein the pay of officials drawing different grade pay is fixed in the same stage in different pay levels of 71h CPC pay matrix and suggested that the anomaly may be resolved in the individual case through stepping up of pay.
