OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Fixation
of pay and grant of increment in the revised pay structure – clarifications –
regarding.
Following
the notification of Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2015, this Department
has received references seeking clarifications regarding various aspects of
fixation of pay in the revised pay structure as also pay fixation and grant of
increment in future under revised pay structure. The matter has been considered
in this Department and the points of doubts are clarified as under:
1. Point of
doubt: As per
the provisions of FR22 (l) (a) (1), the Government servants (other than those
appointed on deputation to ex-cadre post or ad hoc basis or on direct
recruitment basis) have the option, to be exercised within one month from the
date of promotion, to have the pay fixed under this rule from the date of such
promotion/ appointment or from the date of next increment.
Some
of the employees, promoted between 01.01.2016 and the date of notification of
CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 had opted for their pay fixation on promotion/financial
up-gradation under MACPS from the date of their next increment in the lower
grade. Consequent upon notification of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 i.e. 25th July,
2016, the option submitted by such employees has now turned out to be
disadvantageous. Whether such employee may be allowed to revise their option
under FR 22 at this stage.
Clarification: Under the changed
circumstances after notification of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016, the employee may be
allowed to exercise revised option for fixation of pay under FR22(l)(a)(1),
Such revised option shall be exercised within one month of issue of this 0M.
Option so revised, shall be final.
2. Point of doubt: Whether employees
appointed/promoted/ during granted financial up-gradation 02.01.2015 and
01.07.2015 will be entitled to grant of one increment on 01.01.2016,.
Clarification: Since the provisions of CCS
(RP)Rules, 2016 are effective from 01.01.2016, no increment shall be allowed on
01.01.2016 at the time of fixation of pay in the revised pay structure.
