7th Pay Commission: Central government employees alert! Here is how 7th CPC fitment factor will change your monthly salary from this date

The monthly salary of a central government employee under Seventh Pay Commission is calculated by multiplying one's basic salary by the 7th Pay Commission fitment factor, which is 2.57. If a central government employee's basic salary is Rs 18,000 per month, in that case, the central government servants monthly salary will be Rs 46,260 plus various allowances like Dearness Allowance (DA), Travel Allowance (TA), House Rent Allowance, etc. Photo: Reuters

As per the 7th CPC rule, one's monthly contribution in one's PF account and gratuity contribution is also decided by the basic salary of the central government employee and the percentage of DA applied. For example, currently central government employees' DA is 17 per cent. In that case, if a central government servant's basic salary is Rs 18,000 then its monthly PF contribution will be 12 per cent of 117 per cent of Rs 18,000 i.e. Rs 2,527.20. Photo: Reuters

Gratuity has direct connection with the last drawn salary of the employee. Since, the monthly salary is rising from July 2021 (provided the central government doesn't change its plan in regard to DA and DR restoration), gratuity contribution is bound to change. Photo: Pixabay

As DR benefit for pensioners is directly connected with the DA applicable to the central government employees. The DR benefit is going to bring cheer on the face of around 60 lakh retired pensioners of the central government employees as their DR benefit is expected to get restored from July 2021.
