July 12 : The Narendra Modi government approved the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, which will be implemented from January 1, this year. The final recommendations of the Commission came this week and according to those, the calculator has also been tweaked. The beneficiaries of the recommendations can calculate their salaries, by using this new updated calculator. The government has finally approved 14.4% basic salary and 23.5% overall hike (including the allowances), and the beneficiaries will start getting the benefits from August 1.

The most awaited salary hike by some 47 lakh central government employees and 57 lakh pensioners will finally be implemented from August 1, and since the implementation is from January 1, six months worth of arrears will also be paid to the beneficiaries. The benefits of the 7th Pay Commission will be paid in the same financial year, something that has probably endeared the NDA government to central government employees.

The implementation of the recommendations has made the following changes- the salary of C-grade (who provide assistance) government employees will be Rs 18,000 per month, B-grade (middle management) employees will take home minimum 25,000 salary monthly, whereas, A-grade (higher administrative position) employee will draw salaries as high as 40,000 to 45,000 per month. The salary of Class I officer has been increased from Rs 48,100 to Rs 56,100. Cabinet Secretary level employees will draw monthly salary of Rs 2.5 lakh per month.
