fixation of pay on next and Subsequent increment is not useful for general cases and loss of arrears also.
(c) Vacates His post / Ceases to draw in existing Pay Structure:
Applicable in some special cases only.
(D) PROMOTION / MACP (UPGRADATIONS) TOOK PLACE BETEEN 01.01.2016 TO 25.07.2016 (Date of notification of Rules) :-
The
Promoted/ Upgraded employees falling between this dates can opt to
fix pay from Date of promotion/ up gradation. And they will exercise
FR22 (i) (a) (i) also.
The
case of those promoted after issue of gazette notification is not a new
one. In all pay commissions such a clause from date of implementation
to date of gazette is the cutoff date for exercise option for
Promotions. On consultation with so many account experts clarified
that we cannot interpret the Rule-5 CCS (RP)-2016 as a general case to
opt at any time after Gazette . HENCE
THOSE WHO GOT PROMOTED / MACP UPGRADED AFTER 25.07.2016 HAS NO OPTION
TO CONTINUE TO DRAW IN OLD PAY TILL PROMOTION / UPGRADATION. Only way
to opt fixation on 01.01.2016 . This is a heavy Loss to employees under G.pay Rs.2800 promoted to Rs. 4200/- . Impact of 7th CPC on this employees is huge loss in pay and allowances compared with others just promoted in few months.
