Why implementing the Seventh Pay Commission recommendation is a herculean challenge

Children Education Allowance related recommendations of 7th Pay Commission – Basic CEA has been recommended to be increased 1.5 times

CEA is paid to government employees to take care of schooling and hostel requirements of their children. The rates of CEA are double for a differently abled child.

Many demands have been received regarding CEA. It has been requested that the amount be suitably raised and CEA should be extended for Graduation/Post Graduation level studies also. The Commission has received an overwhelming number of requests for simplification of the procedure for reimbursement.

Analysis and Recommendations

8.17.13 Before VI CPC recommendations, the scheme was known asChildren Education
Assistance and provided at the following rates:

Component

Class I-
X

Class
XI-XII

Requirement

Reimbursement of Tuition
Fee (₹ pm)

–

Reimbursement of Tuition
Fee for Disabled and mentally retarded children (₹ pm)

100

–

Children Education
Allowance (₹ pm)

100

In case the government employee is compelled to send his child to a school away from the Station of his posting

Hostel Subsidy (₹pm)

300

In case the employee is obliged to keep
his children in a hostel away from the
Station of his posting and residence on account of transfer.

The VI CPC rationalized the structure to the following:

Component

Present Rates

Remarks

CEA

₹1500 pm

Whenever DA increases by 50% CEA shall increase by 25%

Hostel Subsidy

₹4500 pm

Whenever DA increases by 50% Hostel
Subsidy shall increase by 25%

Effectively a 10-fold rise was given by VI CPC. This has led to high expectations, and consequently, vast number of demands for increasing the rates, expansion of scope and simplification for procedure ofreimbursement of this allowance.

The various issues are examined seriatim:

Has CEA kept pace with time? Presently CEA goes up by 25 percent each time DA increases by 50 percent. Thus, since DA currently stands at 113 percent, CEA has gone up by 50 percent from its 2008 level. As against this, the movement of the All India Education Index33 is shown below:

The above chart shows that between 2008 and 2013, the Education Index has gone up from 134 to 154, i.e., by 14.9 percent, whereas CEA went up by 25 percent w.e.f.
01.01.2011 (when DA exceeded 50 percent). Thus, it can be concluded that increase in CEA has kept pace with (and in fact exceeded) the cost of education.

What is the adequate level of compensation?

Given the wide range of educational institutions, and the varying fee structure, the question of adequacy depends upon many factors. On the one hand we have government institutions like Kendriya Vidyalayas that charge fees to the tune of ₹1,000 per month (including Vidyalaya Vikas Nidhi) and on the other hand there are private institutions where the monthly fee varies from ₹5,000 to ₹25,000 (or even more) per month.

On the whole, the Commission is of the view that quantum of CEA should be calibrated in such a manner that the main objective is met without the government entering into the field of subsidizing private education. Hence, taking into account the various items of expenditure that are reimbursed as a part of this allowance, the following is recommended:

Component

Recommended rate

Remarks

CEA (₹ pm)

1500×1.5 = 2250

Whenever DA increases by 50%, CEA shall increase by 25%

Hostel Subsidy (₹ pm)

4500 x 1.5 = 6750 (ceiling)

Whenever DA increases by 50%, Hostel
Subsidy shall increase by 25%

The allowance will continue to be double for differently abled children.

What should be the scope of CEA?

Presently CEA is payable up to Class XII. There is a strong demand for increasing the scope to Graduate and Post Graduate studies. However, due to the greatly varying nature of studies at the graduate level and beyond,the extension of scope of the allowance beyond Class XII cannot be accepted.

7th Pay commission simplified the calculation for arriving revised Pay through new 7th CPC Pay Matrix

LINK TO OFFICIAL SITE OF 7 CPC http://7cpc.india.gov.in/ download PDF File http://7cpc.india.gov.in/pdf/sevencpcreport.pdf

7th Pay commission simplified the calculation for arriving revised Pay through new 7th CPC Pay Matrix

We here illustrate the method through easy 6 Steps to calculate our 7th CPC New Pay and Allowances to know your self

Lat us Assume you are drawing Grade Pay Rs.4200 and Pay in the Band Pay Rs.12110

To calculate your Basic Pay and Allowance follow the steps given below.

Step-I

Calculate your sixth CPC basic Pay
( Grade Pay + Band Pay) = 4200+12110= 16310

Step-II

Multiply the above figure with 7th CPC Fitment Formula 2.57
16310 x 2.57 = 41916.70 . ( Paisa to be rounded off to the nearest Rupee)
The Ans is = Rs.41917

Step-III

Match this Answer with Matrix Table ( Given Below) Figures assigned in Grade Pay column Rs.4200

There is no matching figure we arrived above in this matrix, so the closest higher figure assigned in the Grade Pay column can be chosen ie is Rs. 42300

So , Rs 42300 is your New 7th CPC Basic Pay

Step-IV

Identify your HRA [ See : 7th Pay commission recommendation on HRA]

HRA has been revised as 24%, 16% and 8% for 30% , 20% and 10% respectively

So if you are in 30% HRA Bracket, your HRA in 7th CPC is 24% vis versa.

Let us assume now you are in 30% HRA bracket, your revised HRA is 24%

Find the 24% of the Basic Pay = 42300 x 24/100 = 10152

Your HRA is Rs.10152

Step-V

Identify your TPTA (Transport Allowance)

7th CPC Recommends Transport Allowance for three Category of Employees for Two Types of Places

If you are living in A1 and A classified cities (See the List of 19 cities classified as A1 and A cities) you will be entitled to get higher TPTA rates
