Bunching benefit in Pay fixation is recommended by 7th pay commission in some situation

7th Pay commission in its report stated at page 79 entitled Entry Pay, that,” Although the rationalization has been done with utmost care to ensure minimum bunching at most levels, however if situation does arise whenever more than two stages are bunched together, one additional increment equal to 3 percent may be given for every two stages bunched, and pay fixed in the subsequent cell in the pay matrix.

Rs.53000*2.57	Rs.1,36,210
In 7th CPC Pay Matrix his pay will be fixed at first cell of level 15	Rs.1,44,200

For instance, if two persons drawing pay of Rs.53,000 and Rs.54,590 in the GP 10000 are to be fitted in the new pay matrix,

1. The pay fixation for the person (A) drawing pay of Rs.53000 (PB + GP)

2. The pay fixation for the person (B) drawing pay of Rs.54590 (PB + GP)

( He has earned one increment more than ‘A’ )

Rs.54590*2.57	Rs.1,40,296
In 7th CPC Pay Matrix his pay ideally will be fixed at first cell of level 15	Rs.1,44,200
But to avoid bunching 7th CPC recommends he should get fixed in second cell of level 15	Rs.1,48,500

Lets now be clear about the above example..

The Person who has earned one increment more than his junior, will get fixed one cell forward if they both happened to be fixed in the first cell of the particular Level

1.Where does the situation especially arise …?

These situations will arise in the cases of ..

a) Wherever Upgradation of Grades are recommended, there the Pay fixations for some persons in the Lower grade, irrespective of number of increments earned, as shown above, the Pay will have to be fixed at the first cell of Particular Upgraded Level.

In that Case the govt servants who have earned more number increments than his counterpart will be aggrieved by this method of Pay fixation

b) When the pay arrived by using uniform multiplication factor 2.57 is lesser than the minimum pay corresponding to the level prescribed for that Grade, where some cases, irrespective number of increments earned, has to be fixed at the first cell of that Particular Level.
