Index of Rationalisation Applied in 7th CPC Pay Structure
Rationalisation has been done to ensure that the quantum of jump, in financial terms, between these pay bands is reasonable.
This has been achieved by applying ‘index of rationalisation’ from PB-2 onwards on the premise that with enhancement of levels from Pay Band 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and onwards, the role, responsibility and accountability increases at each step in the hierarchy.

The proposed pay structure reflects the same principle. Hence, the existing entry pay at each level corresponding to successive grades pay in each pay band, from PB-2 onwards, has been enhanced by an ‘index of rationalisation’ as shown below in table.
Rationalisation Applied in the Present Pay Structure
| PAY BAND – 1 (5200- 20200) | ||||

| Grade Pay | ||||
| 1800 | 1900 | 2000 | 2400 | 2800 |

| 7000*(2.57) =18000 |
7730*(2.57) =19900 |
8460*(2.57) =21700 |
9910*(2.57) =25500 |
11360*(2.57) =29200 |

20280*(2.62) =53100 |
| Pay Band 3 | (15600-39100) | |||

| Grade Pay | 5400 | 6600 | 7600 | |

21000 | 25350 | 29500 | |
| Rationalised Entry Pay (2.67) |
21000*(2.67) =56100 |
25350*(2.67) =67700 |
29500*(2.67) =78800 |

| Pay Band 4 | (37400-67000) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grade Pay | 8700 | 8900 | 10000 | |
| Current Entry Pay | 46100 | 49100 | 53000 | |
| Rationalised Entry Pay (2.57/2.67/2.72) | 46100*(2.57) =118500 |
49100*(2.67) =131100 |
53000*(2.72) =144200 |

| HAG | (67000-79000) |

| Rationalised Entry Pay (2.72) | 67000*(2.72) =182200 |
| HAG+ | (75500-80000) |
| Current Entry Pay | 75500 |
| Rationalised Entry Pay (2.72) | 75500 *(2.72) =205400 |
| Apex | 80000 (fixed) |
| Rationalised Pay (2.81) | 80000*2.81 =225000 |
| Cabinet Secretary | 90000 (fixed) |
| Rationalised Pay (2.78) | 90000*2.78 =250000 |
In the existing system no entry pay has been prescribed at the level of GP 5400 (PB-2). Therefore a logical figure has been interpolated here based on the fitment table issued by Government of India post VI CPC recommendations.
