Ministry
of finance has issued an Office Memorandum regarding Revising Promotion Option
under FR 22(1) (a).
Here
there should not be any misunderstanding between Exercising Option for Pay
Revision under CCS (RP) Rules 2016 and Exercising option for Pay Fixation for
Promotion/MACP under FR 22(1)(a)
As
per the provisions of FR 22 (l) (a) the Government servants 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 or from the date of next
increment.
Some
of the employees. promoted between 01.01.2016 and 25.7.2016 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
CRP) Rules, 2016 i.e 25th July, 2016. the option submitted by such employees
has now turned out to be disadvantageous.
In
some Department the Employees Promoted between 01-01-2016 and 25-7-2016 are
allowed to exercise their Option to revise their Pay from the Date of Next
increment i.e 1st July 2016.
But
As per the provisos to CCS (RP) Rules 2016, they should not have been allowed
to give option to revise their Pay beyond their date of Promotion Since it has
been stated in CCS (RP) Rules 2016 under Rule No.5.
Now
the Ministry of Finance issued an OM which says
“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 FR
22(I)(a)(I). Such revised option shall be exercised within one month of issue
of this OM Option so revised, shall be final”
After
this Clarification there is confusion among Government servants those who got
Promotion between 01-01-2016 and 25-7-2016 regarding how their Pay will be
fixed…?
The
Doubts are ..
1.
What is the status of Employees promoted between 01.01.2016 and 25.7.2016 and
opted to Revise their pay on Date of Next Increment i.e 1.7.2016 ?
i.
Would they be asked to revise their promotion option under FR 22(1)(a) ?
ii.
The option Exercised under the provisos to rule 5 of CCS (RP) Rules 2016 also
to be revised again…?
iii.
If one opt to fix the pay on Date of Promotion under FR 22(1)(a) and Opt to
revise the pay on date of Promotion under Revised Pay Rules 2016, how the Pay
will be fixed…?
Our federation will take up the issue with Department of post.
