8th Pay Commission: Automatic Pay Revision System (APRS) –

Dear Veterans,

This mail is for your information, the proposal has not yet been

finalised but is in the air.

8th Pay Commission: Automatic Pay Revision System (APRS) –

Central Govt. is preparing to bring new formula to increase salary of

the employees. Central Govt. Employees’ Salary will be Calculated &

Increased with This New Formula?

After the implementation of this new formula, the salary of the

employees will increase according to their performance linked increment.

According to the sources, there won’t be an 8th Pay Commission after the

7th Pay Commission ends. The Central Government is preparing to bring a

new formula to increase the salary of the employees.

The Central Government is preparing a formula for the employees and

pensioners in which the salary and pension will automatically increase

if the Dearness Allowance is more than 50 percent. The intention of the

government behind this new formula is that it should increase the salary

of the employees from time to time.

It may be named as Automatic Pay Revision system. After the

implementation of this new formula, the salary of the employees will

increase according to their performance linked increment. At present,

the employees’ unions are not happy with this decision of the central

government.

Former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had also indicated this in July

2016. While giving a speech in Parliament, he had said that now instead

of Pay Commission, one should think about the employees. Arun Jaitley

wanted the salaries of middle-level employees as well as low-level

employees to increase.

At the same time, Justice Mathur had indicated at the time of the

recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission that they want to move the pay

structure to the new formula (Aykroyd Formula). While calculating the

salary using this formula, the salary is fixed keeping in mind the cost

of living. The need of the hour is that employees should be given a

salary in comparison to inflation.

When this happens, lower-level employees can benefit a lot. The basic

salary of a central employee with level matrix 1 to 5 level can be at

least 21 thousand. However, the formula for this is yet to be worked out.
