Annual Increment on 1st January 2016 to Govt Servants appointed from 2nd January 2015 to 1st July 2015
When one Increment Date was introduced in Sixth CPC , there was an
anomaly in granting Annual Increment to Government servants whose
Increment date falls between 2nd January and 1st July 2006. It was
raised in Anomaly Committee and the Committee had recommended to grant
one Increment for the aggrieved government servants.
Identical to that situation is observed in this Pay Commission also.
There was an issue of unable to grant Annual increment even after
completing required service for the Government Servants recruited in the
period between 2nd January and 1st July in Sixth CPC Regime. To address
this issue Staff Unions and Association demanded to introduce Two
Increment dates. The Central Government Accepted the demand and approved
1st January and 1st July as two dates for granting Annual Increment
after fulfilling the conditions laid down in Rule No.10 in Revised Pay
Rules 2016
But the Government Servants those who are appointed during the period
between 2nd January and 1st July 2015 has to travel few more months in
7th Pay Commission to get their first Annual Increment after completing
12 Months Service.
What CCS (Revised Pay) Rule 2016 says..?
In the illustration laid down in Rule No,10, it has been stated that..
(b) In case of an employee appointed or promoted in the normal hierarchy
or under MACPS during the period between 2nd day of January, 2016 and
1st day of July, 2016, who did not draw any increment on 1st day of
July, 2016, the next increment shall accrue on 1st day of January, 2017
and thereafter it shall accrue after one year on annual basis:
Though it is applicable for those who are appointed or promoted in the
normal hierarchy or under MACPS during the period between 2nd day of
January, 2016 and 1st day of July, 2016, why it shouldn’t be extended to
the Government servants those who are appointed or promoted between 2nd
January 2015
