OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject:
Pay fixation of direct recruit Assistants appointed after 1.1.2006-
Stepping up of pay of DRs with reference to the pay of junior promotee
Assistants- Clarification regarding.
The
undersigned is directed to draw attention to the issue of stepping up
of pay of direct recruit Assistants, appointed on or after 1.1.2006 at
par with the pay of the UDCs promoted and appointed to the post of
Assistant between 1.1.2006 to 31.8.2008 whose pay has been fixed in
terms of para 2(c) of Department of Expenditure’s U.0. No.10/ 1/2009-IC
dated 14.12.2009.
2.
The matter has been examined in this Department in consultation with
the Department of Expenditure and they are of the view that as per the
CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, the stepping up of pay is allowed if the anomaly
in pay, if at all arising, is a direct outcome of fixation of pay in the
revised pay scale from the pre-revised scale to the effect that the
senior who was drawing higher pay in the pre-revised scale, starts
drawing lower pay in the revised scale. However, in the case of direct
recruit Assistants appointed on or after 1.1.2006, the direct recruits
never drew the pre-revised pay prior to 1.1.2006. Further, Department of
Expenditure’s U.O. dated 14.12.2009 relates to fixation of pay in
revised scale from pre-revised scale of pay.
3.
All the Ministries/Departments are therefore advised to review all the
cases wherein stepping up of pay has been allowed to direct recruit
Assistants appointed on or after 1.1.2006 with reference to the pay of
their junior promotee Assistants. The pay fixation in revised pay
structure of such direct recruit Assistants be revised immediately and
action be initiated for effecting recoveries of excess payments, if any,
as per extant instructions.
