7th Pay Commission latest news: The Central Government has cleared confusion in regard to the salary increment rules in 7th CPC for the central government employees who have got promoted. The Central Government has said that if a central government employee gets promotion from 2nd January to 30th June, he or she will get salary increment from 1st January in the next year. It means if a central government employee gets promotion in between 2nd January to 30th June, he or she can't choose Date of Next Increment (DNI) as 1st July. Minister for State (MoS) Finance Anurag Thakur made the announcement in this regard in the upper House of the Parliament.

Tiwari went on to add that under the 7th Pay Commission, all central government employees have to choose either of their date of promotion or date of next increment. The central government employee will get benefits on the basis of his or her choice. He said that prior to the 7th Pay Commission implementation, Central Government Employees used to get promotions on 10, 20 and 30 years under the assured career progression (ACP) scheme. Changing the ACP norms, the 7th Pay Commission recommended that only those central government employees will get promotions who have performed well during the financial year and this performance-based appraisal got accepted by the center.
