Since the uniform formulae of 2.57 times is used for revision of pe-revised pay structures as well as revision of pension in the case of pre 2016 pensioners, the question of stepping up of 50 % of minimum of the Pay Level in the case of pre-2016 retirees may not arise.

Please just apply 2.57 formula to know your pension as per 7th CPC. Your basic pension is known to you. If you are a retiree of 4th or 5th CPC your BASIC pension might have been revised according to 6th CPC.. you need to just multiply this amount to 2.57 and this will be your BASIC pension.
