MOF ISSUES CLARIFICATORY ORDERS ON INCREMENTS & FIXATION

INCREMENT ONLY ON 1st JULY EACH YEAR

 

HINDI VERSION STANDS REJECTED - ENGLISH VERSION REIETERATED BY MOF

 

CONFEDERATION CHARTER OF DEMANDS WILL INSIST INCREMENT DATE AS 1st JANUARY EVERY YEAR

 

 

Dear Comrades! Today The MOF issued a clarificatory order on date of increment, method of fixation of pay on promotion after 1.1.2006, Use of fitment table for cases fixex under Rule 11, Fixation of pay for those on deputation etc.

 

Accordingly the date of increment will be only 1st July every year. For Officials who have been in the Revised Pay Structure for six months from 1.1.2006 to 1.7.2006 for six months are eligible for increment on 1.7.2006. It is clarified clearly that those who have drawn their earlier incerment between 2.1.2005 and 1.1.2006 would be given their next increment on 1.7.2006. Those officials whose date of increment is 1.1.2006, they would be given increment in old scale before fixation in Revised Pay and then again on 1.7.2006 another increment in the Revised Pay.

 

However this clarification is not totally satisfactory to us. The increment of those officials fallilng between 2.1.2006 and 30.06.2006 is getting postponed. The increment of other officials falling between 1.8.2006 and 31.12.2006 is getting advanced. From the Confederation it has been decided to insist for the demand already placed before the Cabinet Secretary so that all officials get their increment in Revised Pay on 1st January instead of 1st July. This will eliminate postponing of increment for some officials while preponing for some others. The Revised Charter of Demands under preparation will be exhibited in the Confederation Website shortly will contain this demand also for our 19th September 2008 programme of 'Strike Declaration Day'.

 

Another Clarification for the officials on promotion who opt for fitment in Revised Pay Structure from the date of their next increment, the clarification of MOF is that on the day of promotion the official will get the same pay in his pay band but the grade pay of his promotional level will be granted and the further re-fixation would be done on the day of his new increment viz, 1st July when he would get two increments - one annual increment and the other the promotional increment. 

 

There are other clarifications also about officials who opt for revised pay from the date of their promotion; Fitment under Rule 11 of CCS[RP]Rules 2008, Fixation for officials on deputation, Procedure to be adopted for placing the officials in cases of merger of scales / upgradations recommended by the 6th CPC.

 

As for as the merger of scales / upgradations are concerned, it is clarified that in cases where all posts in one cade or more in pre-revised scales are merged with a higher pre-revised scale of pay the officials would be granted the replacement pay scale/Grade Pay. In cases where all posts in  particular cadre have been granted a higher replacement scale then the officials would be fixed in their pre-revised pay scale with the Grade Pay of the higher replacement scale.
