CENTRAL CIVIL SERVICES
(RP) RULES 2016
RULE NO.1 TO 17
MEMORANDUM EXPLANATORY TO THE CENTRAL
CIVIL SERVICES (REVISED PAY) RULES, 2016
Rule 1– This rule is self-explanatory.
Rule 2– This rule lays down the categories of employees to whom the
rules apply. Except for the categories excluded under sub-rule (2), the rules
are applicable to all persons under the rule making control of the President
serving in Departments paid from Civil Estimates. They do not apply to the
employees under the Ministry of Railways and civilian personnel paid from
Defence Services Estimates, for whom separate rules will be issued by the
Ministries concerned. The rules do not also apply to Gramin Dak Sevaks in the
Department of Posts. The rules, however, apply to work charged establishments.
Rule 3 and 4- These rules are
self-explanatory.
Rule 5– The intention is that all Government servants should be brought
over to the revised pay structure except those who elect existing pay
structure. The Government servants who exercise the option to continue in the
existing pay structure will continue to draw the dearness allowance at the
rates in force on 1st January, 2016. If a Government servant is holding
permanent post in a substantive capacity and officiating in a higher post, or
would have officiated in one or more posts but for his being on deputation
etc., he has the option to retain the existing pay structure only in respect of
one scale. Such a Government servant may retain the existing scale applicable
to a permanent post or any one of the officiating posts. In respect of the
remaining posts he will necessarily have to be brought over to the revised pay
structure.
Rule 6– This rule prescribes the manner in which option has to be
exercised and also the authority who shall be apprised of such option. The
option has to be exercised in the form appended to the rules. It should be
noted that it is not sufficient for a Government servant to exercise the option
within the specified time limit but also to ensure that it reaches the
prescribed authority within the time limit. In the case of persons who are
outside India at the time of notification of these rules, the period within
which the option has to be exercised is three months from the date they take
over charge of the post in India. In the case of Government servants the
revised pay structure of whose posts are announced subsequent to the date of
issue of these rules, the period of three months will run from the date of such
announcement.
Persons who have retired between 1st January 2016 and the
date of notification of these rules are also eligible to exercise option.
Rule 7- This rule deals with the actual fixation of pay in the existing
scales on 1st January, 2016 and is self explanatory. The benefit of this rule
is not admissible in cases where a Government servant has elected the revised
pay structure in respect of his substantive post, but has retained the existing
scale in respect of an officiating post.
Rule 8– This rule prescribes the method of fixation of pay of employees
appointed on direct recruitment on or after 1st day of January, 2016.
Rule 9 and 10– These rules prescribe the manner in which
the next increment in the new pay structure shall be regulated.
Rules 11 to 17– These rules are self-explanatory.
