Qualification Pay of ICAMP and PIPFA – Federal dt 19.10.2010
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: ICAMP and PIPFA
A number of applicants are applying for ICMAP Qualification Pay along with the PIPFA Qualification Pay. Matter is therefore referred for clarification that either both Qualification Pay are admissible at the same time or otherwise.
| Pay Scale 1991 | Queries |
|---|---|
| S.A.S Accountants: Rate of Rs. 100 p.m. shall be enhanced to Rs. 150 p.m. from 1-6-1991. | |
| Qualification Allowance for S.A.S or Equivalent Exam: Rs. 200 per month on qualifying S.A.S or Equivalent examination. This allowance will continue as a separate entity even after promotion to higher posts. | |
| Qualification Pay for ICMA/ICWA/Chartered Accountants: Shall be as under 1-6-1991: | |
| (a) Part-III (ICMA/ICWA) – Rs. 300 p.m. | 1. Whether the condition of “One Qualification Pay will be admissible at a time” is admissible to clauses (i) (ii) & (iii) or only to clause (iii). |
| (b) Part-IV (ICMA/ICWA) – Rs. 800 p.m. | 2. Officers who qualified PIPFA/SAS and ICMA simultaneously are entitled to get qualification pay for both qualifications. |
| (c) Chartered Accountants – Rs. 800 p.m. where FCA/ACA is not the minimum qualification prescribed for the post. | |
| Qualification Pay for Senior Officers: Qualification Pay shall be allowed from 1-6-1991 to officers who qualified the following courses at the rate shown against each: | |
| (i) PASC National Management Course – Rs. 500 p.m. | |
| (j) National Defence College Course – Rs. 500 p.m. as against the existing rate of Rs. 100 p.m. | |
| (k) Advance Course in Management in NIPA – Rs. 100 p.m. | |
| Note: One Qualification Pay will be admissible at a time. |
In our opinion the condition of admissibility of one qualification pay at a time is only related to the clause “Qualification Pay for Senior Officers”, such as PASC, NMC NDC, NIPA etc and is not applicable to the officers who qualified PIPFA/ SAS and ICMA simultaneously. Hence in our opinion such officers are entitled to get qualification pay for both the qualifications. It is requested to issue necessary clarifications to the above mentioned queries and to confirm or otherwise our views mentioned above.
