ANNEXURE TO THE FINANCE DIVISION’S O.M. NO. F.1(12)IMP.II/91 DATED 29th JUNE, 1991

EXISTING, MODIFIED AND THE REVISED SCALES (BPS 1-15)

Example 1, Case of Mr. ‘A’ drawing pay at the minimum of BPS-4

a) Basic Pay on 1.5.1991 in existing scale 910-46-1830: Rs:910
Indexation w.e.f. 1.7.88: Rs:25
5% ad-hoc increase w.e.f. 1.7.89: Rs:91
10% ad-hoc increase w.e.f. 1.7.90: Rs:91
Dearness allowance w.e.f. 1.12.90: Rs:200
Total Rs:1272

b) Pay will first be fixed at Rs:915 in the modified scale of 915-56-1830 and thereafter in revised scale of 1275-85-2655 on point to point basis at Rs:1275/-

c) The individual, being already in receipt of Rs:1272/- (Pay plus increases allowed since 1.7.1988) in May, 1991, would get an increase of Rs:3/- p.m. He would thus be entitled to a minimum increase of Rs:100/- over pay of May, 1991 in terms of para 3(ii) and his pay in the revised scale will be fixed at Rs:1447 to secure the minimum increase of Rs:100/-

Example II. Mr. ‘A’ drawing pay of Rs:1508/- in BPS-11

a) Pay on 1.5.91 in existing scale 910-46-1830: Rs:1508
Indexation w.e.f. 1.7.88: Rs:32
5% adhoc increase allowed w.e.f. 1.7.89: Rs:75
10% adhoc increase allowed w.e.f. 1.7.90: Rs:151

Dearness allowance of Rs:200/- w.e.f 1.12.90
Rs: 200

Total Rs: 1966

b) Pay will first be fixed in the modified scale of 915–61–1830 at the same stage or if there is no such stage at the next higher stage. This would be Rs:1525/-.

c) The pay will thereafter be fixed in the revised scale 1275–86–2555 on point-to-point basis in relation to pay in modified scale.
Since the pay of Rs:1525/- in modified scale is 10 stages above the minimum, the pay in revised scale will be fixed on point-to-point basis at Rs:2135/- allowing 10 increments on the minimum.

d) The individual gets more than Rs:100/- increase over pay of May 1991 and therefore the provision of para 3(ii) will not be attracted.

Example III. Mr. ‘A’ drawing maxim of BPS–11.

a) Pay on 1.5.91 in existing BPS 910–46–1830

• Indexation w.e.f. 1.7.88. Rs: 58
• 5% ad-hoc increase w.e.f. 1.7.89 Rs:92
• 10% ad-hoc increase w.e.f. 1.7.90 Rs:183
• Dearness allowance w.e.f. 1.12.90 Rs:200

Total Rs:2343

b) Pay will first be fixed in the modified scale 915–61–1830 at the maximum Rs:1830/-.

c) Pay will thereafter be fixed in revised scale 1275–86–2555 on point-to-point basis. Since the pay of Rs:1830 in the modified scale is 15 stages above the minimum, the pay in the revised scale will be fixed allowing 15 increments. This would be Rs:2565/-

d) The individual gets more than Rs:100/- increase over pay of May, 1991 the application of para 3(ii) will not be attracted.
