The concept of Master Scale was first time introduced by the 1993 Pay Revision Commission. The Pay Scales identified for different categories of posts are only
2 segments of the Master Scale. The subsequent Pay Revision Commissions have also found merit in adopting and continuing the concept of Master Scale. Among others, the last (10th) Pay Revision Commission recommended for :–
* A minimum pay of Rs.13000/- and maximum pay of Rs.1,10,850 and thus the ratio between minimum and maximum worked out to 1:8.527
* Continuance of the Master Scale with progressively rising increments (in absolute terms).
* Continuance of the Automatic Advancement Scheme on completion of 6, 12, 18 and 24 years.
* Continuance of Special Pays and other allowances keeping in view the rationale adopted by the earlier Commissions.
* Sanction of five stagnation increments.

(a) Do you suggest continuation of Master Scale concept? - Yes
(b) If yes, do you suggest continuation (Tick any of the box indicating your view).
As it is with modifications
(c) In case you advocate for continuation with modifications what modifications you would like to suggest? We propose Master Scale and Minimum pay basing on the current prices and as per ILC norms and recommendations of 7th Pay Revision Commission of Central Government and the rate of Increment as 3%. And also we propose that the Increment should be calculated at every stage of the Master Scale:
