Sir,
I am directed to convey the approval of the Government of India to revise

non-faculty pensioners /family pensioners of CFTIs, as per Department of
Pension and Pensioners' Welfare OM No. 38/37/2016-P&PW(A)(i)/(ii),
dated 04.08.2016 and OM No. 38/37/2016-P&PW(A) dated 12.05.2017 &
06.07.2017, as amended from time to time.
2. The DoP&PW (as per aforesaid OMs) has provided for following manner
of revision of pension/family pension:
As per 2nd formulation (recommended by 7th CPC), vide
para -4.1 of OM dated 04.03.2016, as follows:
For existing pensioners, who have retired before 01.01.2016 the revised
pension/family pension with effect from 01.01.2016 shall be determined by
multiplying the existing pension/family pension, as had been fixed at the
time of implementation of 6th CPC recommendations, by 2.57. The amount of
revised pension/family pension so arrived at shall be rounded off to next
higher rupee.
OR
As per 1st formulation (recommended by 7th CPC), vide
para-4 of OM dated 12.05.2017, as follows;
The pension/family pension w.e.f. 01.01.2016 may be revised by notionally
fixing the pay of pensioners in the pay matrix recommended by the 7th CPC
in the level corresponding to the pay in the pay scale/pay band and grade
pay at which pensioners retired/died. This will be done by notional pay
fixation under each intervening Pay Commission based on the formula for
revision of pay. While fixing pay on notional basis, the pay fixation
formulae approved by the Government and other relevant instructions on the subject in force at the relevant time shall be strictly followed.
Then:
- 50% of the notional pay as on 01.01.2016 shall be the revised pension and
30% of this notional pay shall be the revised family pension w.e.f.
01.01.2016; and
- for family pensioners who were entitled to family pension at enhanced
rate, the revised family pension shall be 50% of the notional pay as on
01.01.2016. This shall be payable till the period up to which family
pension at enhanced rate is admissible as per rules. The amount of revised
pension/family pension so arrived at shall be rounded off to next higher
rupee.
All CFTIs may, accordingly, workout pension on the lines of concordance
tables prepared by the DoP&PW vide OM dated 06.07.2017 as amended from
time to time.
3. The DoP&PW’s OM dated 12.05.2017 vide para-5, further maintains that

revised in accordance with the OM dated 04.08.2016 or the revised
pension/family pension as worked out in accordance with para 4 of OM dated
12.05.2017, shall be granted to pre-01.01.2016 pensioners as revised
pension/family pension w.e.f. 01.01.2016.

pension of pre-01.01.2016 faculty and non-faculty pensioners/family

time.
8. In case any institute has revised pension in a manner different from the
above formulations, the same may have to be reworked by the concerned
institute and necessary adjustments are to be made.
