Annual Increment beyond the Maximum Stage of Pay Scale PP dt 04.03.2016
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Maximum Stage of Pay Scale
I am directed to state that upon discontinuation of the scheme of move over the government servants were brought back to original scales of the posts and their pay was fixed in the revised Pay Scales, 2001 on notional extension basis. On doing so the pay of some employees cressed the setting of the notional extended pay scales. Such a category of the government servants was allowed personal pay besides allowing future Increments (as personal to them) up to 03 years.
A question has arisen as to whether a government servant, who reaches the maximum of his pay scales after 01.12.2001, may also be allowed annual increment as personal pay up to three years, i.e. for 01.12.2002, 01.12.2003 and 01.12.2004 or otherwise.
2. It is clarified that a government servant who reaches the maximum of his pay scale on or after 01.12.2001 may also be allowed annual increments as personal pay up to three years, i.e. 01.12.2002, 01.12.2003 and 01.12.2004. After that, the benefit of annual increment beyond the pay scales as personal pay has been allowed to all the government servants w.e.f. 01.12.2005-under Para 2 of Finance Department’s notification No.FD.PC.2-1/2005 dated 16.01.2007.
The increment may be treated as personal pay subject to the condition that the employees concerned has put in six (06) months or more service as counts for an annual increment unless withheld under the rules. The amount of the personal pay may not be reduced but treated as part of the pay scale of the concerned government-servant for the-purpose-of-fixation of gay pension and recovery of house rent, etc.
3. The clarifications, already issued in this context, may be treated to have been modified to the extent indicated above ab-initio.
