Babus looking for clarification on 7th CPC Bunching Benefit

7th Pay Commission recommended for bunching of two stages in the report para 5.1.36 , “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.”

Also Government released order on7th September 2016, with the following instructions

1. One additional increment shall be given for every two stages bunched and the pay of Government servant drawing higher pay in pre-revised structure shall be fixed at the next vertical Cell in the applicable Level

2. Pay drawn by two Government servants in a given Pay Band and Grade Pay or scale where the higher pay is at least 3% more than the lower pay shall constitute two stages. Officers drawing pay where the difference is less than 3% shall not be entitled for this benefit.

Illustration:

if two persons drawing pay of 53,000 and 54,590 in the GP 10,000 are to be fitted in the new Pay Matrix, the person drawing pay of 53,000 on multiplication by a factor of 2.57 will expect a pay corresponding to 1,36,210 and the person drawing pay of 54,590 on multiplication by a factor of 2.57 will expect a pay corresponding to 1,40,296. Revised pay of both should ideally be fixed in the first cell of Level 14 in the pay of 1, 44,200 but to avoid bunching the person drawing pay of 54,590 will get fixed in second cell of Level 14 in the pay of 1,48,500.

Based on this we have calculated bunching benefit for all the grade pay in 7th CPC salary

Clarification needed for below topic

• 7000 – No Bunch
• 7210 – No Bunch
• 7430 – Bunched to next level due to equal pay for 7210 & 7430 (highlighted in Green)
• 7660 – After bunching both 7430 & 7660 7th CPC pay is 19700
• 7890 – Both 7660 & 78990 7th CPC pay is 20300
• 8130 – Both 7890 & 8130 7th CPC pay is 20900
• 8380 onwards – No Bunch

Now question is whether 7660, 7890 & 8130 is eligible for bunching or not? this is the situation for most of the Entry Pay.
