This will be the pay in the revised running Pay Band. Grade Pay, as approved by the Government, corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale, will then be added to the Pay in the revised Pay Band.

DA and other Allowances
* AICPI (IW) with base 2001 may, henceforth, be used for the purpose of calculating DA till it gets revised. The base using the 2001 series works out to be 115.76. Based on this index the revised DA as on Jan-06, July-06, Jan-07, July-07, Jan-08 and July-08 are estimated to be 0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, and 16% respectively (based on the calculation made as per index - Exact DA rates are yet to be confirmed by the Government).
* “Campus” restriction for grant of Transport Allowance will be removed. Consequently, employees living in campuses will also be eligible for Transport Allowance.

Three upgradations will be granted under Assured Career Progression (ACP) Scheme at 10, 20 and 30 years as per the modified ACP Scheme recommended by the Commission. ACP Scheme will also be applicable to Group A employees.
* Financial upgradation through ACP will be available whenever a person has spent 10 years continuously in the same grade.
* Benefit of pay fixation available at the time of normal promotion shall be allowed at the time of financial upgradations under the scheme. Thus, an increase of 3% of pay and grade pay shall be available as financial upgradation under the scheme.
Other Points accepted by the Government:
* The Commission’s recommendation regarding payment of arrears has been modified to the extent that the arrears will be paid in cash in two instalments – first instalment of 40% during the current financial year (2008-09) and the remaining 60% in the next financial year (2009-10).
* The Government has approved setting up of Anomalies Committees to examine individual, post-specific and cadre-specific anomalies. The Anomalies Committees should endeavour to complete their work in one year.
Recommendations not accepted by the Government in Sixth Pay Commission:
* Liberal ‘severance package’ for those employees who want to leave service without pension with more than 15, but less than 20 years of service.
* Recommendation relating to Holiday Policy that there should only be three closed holidays for Government employees.
The lack of clarity over taxation of arrears that government employees will receive following the implementation of the 6th Pay Commission recommendations has finally cleared. The tax on first installment will be deducted in the current fiscal and that on the second installment will be deducted next year when they receive the actual payment.
According to finance ministry sources, only the first installment of the arrears would be taxed this fiscal. If the tax is deducted, employees who do not fall in the slab of 30% rate of income tax would have to bear a surcharge, as their total income, including both installments would have been higher. As per the current income tax slab, income over Rs 2,50,000 attracts a tax rate of 30% and income above Rs 10,00,000 attracts a rate of 30% as also 10% surcharge.
The order, effective from September 1, increases maternity leave of women employees from 135 days to a cool 180 days for each of their two children. From now on, women employees can take paid leave up to two years (730 days) during their career for "taking care" of their two children without affecting their seniority.
Even if a woman has only one child, she can take the two-year leave. Termed "child care leave", this will be besides the break maternity they are entitled to. The new rules came into force on September 1.
Adding to the bonanza, a woman employee can avail of child care leave in any combination till her two children are 18 years of age. The child care leave can be taken for any of reason, including "rearing" or "to look after any of their needs like examination, sickness etc".
The government has notified that child care leave can also be availed in continuation of the six-month maternity break. It means that a woman employee deciding to have only one child can continue on paid leave for two-and-a-half years at a stretch.
The new regime will definitely make government jobs much more attractive not only for women but also for men as the couple would be assured that at least the mother would be with the child when needed.
Pay Commission stand implemented and Group C & D Employees are thought to be richer by 21%. But what is not announced is that a big chunk of what employees will get will be taken back in terms of Income Tax.
Even the group C employees are bracketed in 30% slab due to arrears. What is more objectionable is the fact that while they will get only 40% of the due arrears in this financial year but they will have to pay tax on whole arrear rather then a part thereof. To do so, Income Tax Department is taking refuge in an earlier SC directive that empowers the govt to levy tax on due hike rather than actual payment.
What this whole jargon implies to common employees is that they actually end up getting their arrears minus 30% of the total due arrears.
Now there is news as that employees may get option to stagger their arrear income into last three years instead of considering it income of one year only, it will help some to get the lower tax slab rather then higher one.

Government has improved the pension of the central government pensioners giving them substantial rise than the pay panel had demanded.
An important benefit approved by the union cabinet is raising the gratuity limit to Rs 10 lakh, higher pension for octogenarians, exclusion of earned leave encashed while in service from the overall limit, clubbing of earned leave and half-day pay leave for encashment.
Octogenarians will now be paid an additional 20 per cent of their basic pension, while those aged 85 will get 30 per cent more, rising to 100 per cent additional pension for centurions.
To get an idea of the quantum of hike, a person with a basic pension of Rs 10,000 — who used to get Rs 22,050 in hand — will now receive a total pension of Rs 26,216. The new rates are effective from January 2006 and the arrears will be given out in two instalments — 40% during the current fiscal, 60% in 2009-10.
On voluntary retirement front too the government officials who wanted to quit their job or retire voluntarily had never had it so good and enticing. It will be like having the cake and eating it too.
In fact the sixth pay commission has all the charms to both entice the government officials to be in job and/ or also prompt him to leave his well paying job.
Tax exemption will be given to Group D employees in Arrears.
This may be the biggest news for the central government’s group D employees as it will give them substantial savings that they could not have managed from anything else.
and
The good news here is limited to only group D employees. High ranking officials would not get as much benefit as their Group 'D' counterparts get as they already are in a larger tax bracket and may also be required to pay a "surcharge" on their salaries.
