The 7th Central Pay Commission, which was formed in February 2014 in an effort to review the structure and principles of emoluments of every central government civilian employee including defence personnel, furnished its report in November 2015. The report contained recommendations that affect the organisation, pay, rank structure, pension and allowances of around 14 lakh individuals in the armed forces.

The NDA (National Democratic Alliance), led by the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party), in September 2016 implemented the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission, including the recommendations that affect the armed forces.

The following is the pay matrix table for defence personnel:
