Clarification on another opportunity to Re-exercise option for Pay Fixation under Rule 10
Whether after promotion on 1st July and fixation of pay with two increments the date of next increment will be 1st January or 1st July ?
The Next Increment will be on 1st January as per the provision of Rule 10 of CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2016
Accrual of next increment in case of regular promotion/ financial up gradation of an employee on any date other than the date of annual increment and option for pay fixation is exercised under FR 22(1)(a)(1).
In the above case he may be allowed the 1st increment in promotional grade on 1st January/ 1st July as the case may be after completion of 6 months’ qualifying service after such fixation on 1st July/1st January (i.e., the date of increment in lower grade) on the analogy of Department of Expenditure’s OM dated 31.07.2018. The next increment, thereafter, shall however, accrue only after completion of one year
DNI on 1st January 2023 and Promotion Pay Fixation done on 1st January 2023 then what will be the date of next increment in this case ?
The date of next increment for the above case is 1st July 2023
Therefore, if any Govt servant whose DNI was on 1st January, had their Promotion pay fixation done on 1st January 2023 , it should be ensured that the Next Increment after Promotion is granted on 1st July 2022.
