Subject: - Meeting of the Departmental Council (JCM) in the Department of
Posts Clarification on the issue raised by Staff Side as agenda items.

Staff Side raised the issued regarding fixation of pay on promotion after
1.1.2006 and irregular objections being raised by the ICIR in the date of
increment and ordering recoveries as agenda items No. 121/135 & 122/135
during the meeting of the Departmental Council (JCM) in the Departments of
Posts.



2. The items were discussed and undersigned is directed to clarify the
issues as under:



Issues



1. Item No. 121/135: Clarification in respect of fixation of Pay on
promotion after 1.1.2006: - Despite crystal clear orders in the R. P. Rules
2008 under Rule 13 (i) that if the pay in the pay band after adding the
increment is less than the minimum of the higher pay band to which promotion
is taking place, pay in the pay band stepped to such minimum, this has not
been implemented in many circles in respect of promote in Postal Assistant
cadre and also in the case of HSG-I promotions. Similarly under Rule 7 1(A)
(ii) while detailing the fixation of initial pay in the revised structure,
it was stated that if the minimum of the revised pay band/pay scale is more
than the amount arrived at per (i) above, the pay shall be fixed at the
minimum of the revised pay band/pay scale. The initial fixation has not been
granted in many places with wrong notion that the initial pay is pertaining
only to the direct recruitments and not for others. Suitable clarificatory
orders may please be issued to rectify the mistakes in the pay fixation.



2. Item No. 122/135: - Irregular objections raised by ICIR in the Date of
increment and ordering recoveries: - The ICIR party in many places had
raised an objection about the grant of increment on 01.07.2006 stating that
one did not completed the qualifying service of six months in between
01.01.2006 to 30.06.2006 he is not entitled for increment on 01.07.2006 even
through he had completed six months service from the date of last increment
he draws in 2005 and revised his date of next increment to 01.07.2007. This
is highly irregular.



Accordingly to RP Rules 10, one period of six months should be taken from
the date of his last increment to 30.06.2006 and not for the six monthly
period from Jan 06 to June 06. Suitable clarifications set aside the
irregular objections being by the ICIR party.



Clarifications

1. Attention is drawn to Rule 13(i) and Rule 7(A) (II) of CCS (RP) rules,
2008 for fixation of pay.


2. As per Para 10 of CCS (RP) Rules, 208, there will be a uniform date of
annual increment viz: 01st July of every year. Employees completing 6 months
and above in the revised pay structure as on 01st July will be eligible to
be granted the increment Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure vide
OM No. 1/1/2008-IC dated 13th September 2008 clarified that all Government
servants who earned their last increment between 02.01.2005 and 01.01.2006
would get their next increment on 01.07.2006. (Copy of MOF, Department of
