   2. Consequent upon implementation of revised pay structure inter-alia involving merger of various pre-revised scales and comprising running Pay Bands & Grade Pay based on recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission, a question has arisen regarding methodology for fixation of pay of medically unfit running staff on being posted/appointed against stationary posts. The matter has, accordingly, been considered by the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board) and based on the recommendations of a Committee constituted for the purpose, it has been decided that while determining pay in Pay Band for the purpose of fixation of pay of medically unfit running staff in alternative (stationary) post, an amount equal to such percentage of basic pay (pay in Pay Band + Grade Pay) representing pay element of running allowance as may be in force from time to time may be added to the existing pay in Pay Band and the resultant figure (ignoring the fraction of rupee, if any) rounded off to the next multiple of 10, would be the pay in the Pay Band in the alternative post with no change in the Grade Pay of substantive post, in suitable alternative post. An illustration in this regard is enclosed as Annexure-I.

Dated, Thiruvananthapuram, 17th December 2012.

ORDER

   In all General Pay Revision Orders, rules of fixation of pay along with conditions to exercise option to come over to the revised scale of pay with effect from the date of effect of concerned pay revision or with effect from any subsequent date that an employee opts have been clearly stipulated. A time limit of six months is also allowed for exercising option. If no option is exercised within the period of six months from the date of order revising the scale of pay, the Government servant will be deemed to have opted for the scale with effect from the date of effect of the pay revision and pay fixed on that basis by the officer competent to fix the employees pay. It has come to the notice of Government that employees are still continuing in the pre-revised scales of pay after the implementation of the 9th pay revision orders. The continuance of pre-revised scales of pay by employees is against the fixation rules stipulated in the respective pay revision orders issued by Government causing much administrative inconvenience.

Kerala Service Rules - Enhancement of age of retirement - Re-option for fixation of pay under Rule 28A Part I, KSRs - Sanctioned - Orders issued.

FINANCE (RULES.A) DEPARTMENT

G.O.(P)No.421/2012/Fin.

Dated,Thiruvananthapuram, 28th July,2012.

Read:- G.O.(P)No. 183/2012/Fin, dated 26.3.2012.

ORDER

   As per the notification in the Government Order read above, Rule 60(a) & (c) Part I. KSRs were amended by withdrawing unification of date of retirement of Government employees and teachers as 31st March every year and enhancing their age of retirement from 55 to 56 years. It has come to the notice of Government that several officers, who were expecting retirement on  31.3.2012 were constrained to opt promotion date for fixation of pay under option (a) of Rule 28 A Part I, KSRs as there was no chance for accrual of increment in the lower time scale before 31.3.2012, which led to a reduction in pay and pensionary benefits. Since enhancement in the age of retirement provides the officers with a chance for accrual of increment in the lower post, they become eligible for exercise of option (b) for fixation of pay under Rule 28 A Part I KSRs. There are also cases of officers who preferred option (a) to option (b) in view of retirement on 31.3.2012 with the intention of enjoying the benefit of two increments during the full or part of the last ten months preceding 31.3.2012.

Grant of arrear of stagnation increment, consequent to the implementation of 6th CPC — reg.

NFIR
National Federation of India

No.1/I
Dated: 13.06.2012.

The Secretary,
Department of Personnel & Training,
Government of India,
New Delhi.

Dear Sir,

Sub:- Grant of arrear of stagnation increment, consequent to the implementation of 6th CPC — reg.

   During the period when recommendations of 5th Central Pay Commission were in vogue i.e. prior to implementation of the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission, there were employees, who had reached the maximum of the scale of pay and (5th CPC) were in receipt of stagnation increment, after an interval of two years.

Fixation of pay of such employees as per recommendations of 6th cpc was done based on pay drawn by them on 31.02.2005 and they were given increment from 1st July, 2006. The pay structure of 6th CPC was given effect from 01.01.2006. However, such of the stagnated employees were not extended the under noted benefits:-

  “Those employees should have been extended the benefit of their normal increment during Feb to June 2006 as if they were not stagnating during the same period. They may also be considered accordingly for re-fixation of pay and payment of consequent arrears.”

   The above demand of the employees assumes more significance because of the fact that such employees had been stagnating for longer durations in the same scale of pay without any promotion, and really deserved the financial benefits. Since number of such employees is not going to be too large, NFIR therefore, requests the DOPT to issue instructions for granting the benefit mentioned above. Action taken in the matter may be advised to the Federation.

Yours faithfully,
