The government is set to
clear a `5,000 crore package for pensioners after Sunday's municipal
elections in the capital to address their concerns related to the award
of the 7th pay commission for central government employees and seniors.
The revised pension will be taken up by the Union cabinet along with
three-four issues related to the pay of central government employees,
even as a committee headed by finance secretary Ashok Lavasa finalises
its recommendations for allowances for government employees, including
an increase in the house rent allowance (HRA).
The panel is expected to submit its recommendations next week but there are indications that the change in allowances may not take place immediately. The revised pension sche me has been finalised and the government has postponed a decision due to the code of conduct for Delhi municipal elections. The Cabinet may clear it next week,“ said a source who did not wish to be identified.
The pay panel had recommended an increment-linked pension formula along with the option for multiplying the pension based on the sixth pay commission's recommendations by 2.57. To quickly implement the suggestions, the government opted for the second option as the increment-linked pension model was seen to be difficult to implement. This has created a situation where those who retired by December 31, 2015 are receiving a lower pension compared to someone who retired a month later. For instance, someone who retired as a secretary before January 2016 gets a pension of Rs 1.02 lakh compared to the Rs 1.12 lakh for someone who retired at the end of the month.

Sir, it means the formula of 2.57 will change. Please clarify.
