HOW TO FIX "PAY BAND & GRADE PAY"

On what basis is the minimum Pay Band & Grade Pay created?

Only in the 6th Pay commission, the new method of Running pay band and Grade Pay was introduced. Till the 5th pay commission, the Basic Pay was not divided, but in the 6th CPC, it was split in to Pay Band and Grade Pay.

The Pay Band was calculated by putting together the 5th CPC Basic Pay, Dearness Pay and Dearness Allowance of 24% . (i.e. 1.86 Multiple  factor in 6 CPC) 

Grade pay taken from 40% Exiting maximum pre -revised  pay scale (Details of 6th CPC Report attached)

In some cases, the amount of grade pay has been adjusted so as to maintain a clear differential between successive grades pay.(PB 3-PB4)

From the timetable given above, we can clearly understand how the Pay Band and Grade Pay are calculated. This calculation method generally applies for Pay Bands I and II. For Pay Bands III and IV it differs slightly.
