In order to bring clarity to the existing instructions and enable uniform implementation, an effort has been made to review, consolidate and reiterate the guidelines issued so far on the subject at one place.

A. Pay fixation of SCS/Non-SCS officers inducted to IAS consequent upon the implementation of 7th CPC recommendations

2. The initial pay of an IAS officer promoted from SCS or appointed by selection from Non-SCS , as the case may be, shall be fixed at the relevant stage of the Senior Scale e. Senior Time Scale (Level 11), Junior Administrative Grade (Level 12) and Selection Grade (Level 13) based on seniority obtained by him, by protecting his State Pay. There is no provision of increment at the stage of initial fixation.

3. Consequent upon induction to IAS, promotion from one to another grade of IAS is considered as per extant provisions of IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 read with IAS promotion guidelines.

4. In respect of fixation of pay of officers who were promoted/Selected in IAS through SCS/ Non-SCS respectively in Senior Time Scale/Junior Administrative Grade after 01.01.2016, the initial pay shall be fixed in the respective level of the Senior Scale i.e Level-11, 12 or 13 based on the year of allotment in the IAS. However, the pay drawn in the State Civil Services will be protected in the concerned Level.

Illustration:

5. Shri X who is drawing pay at 48920 (Rs.40220 [pay in the pay band + GP Rs.8700] is promoted/ selected to IAS on 04.03.2016. He is allotted 2010 batch. The pay on promotion/selection to IAS would be as under:

6. The pay of IAS officers who were promoted/selected in IAS through SGS/ Non-SGS respectively prior to 01 .01 .2016 will be converted as per 7th CPC on 01 .01.2016 and they shall be placed in the Level in the Pay Matrix in accordance with the length of service as per the allotment However, pay of those officers, who are due to get promoted to JAG/ Selection Grade of IAS on 01.01.2016 , will be first converted notionally on 01.01.2016 as per 7th CPC (i.e before promotion) and shall be placed notionally in the Level of Pay Matrix, in accordance with the length of service as per their allotment year, at the stage of the senior scale. On their actual promotion to JAG/ Selection Grade, the pay of these officers will then be fixed as per IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 . That is, the officers will be eligible for two additional increments on their actual promotions to Level 12/ Level 13 after completion of 9/ 13 years of service in IAS respectively.

Illustration: 

7. The provision contained in part (7) of Schedule-I of IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016, which provides that Notwithstanding anything contained in these rules, the pay of a promoted officer or an officer appointed by selection, as the case may be, shall not at any time exceed the basic pay which he would have drawn as a direct recruit on that date if he had been appointed to the Indian Administrative Service on the date on which he was appointed to the State Civil Service or in a Gazetted post in the non-State Civil Service, after attaining the age of twenty five years, as the case may be” shall be adhered to.

B. Guidelines regarding methodology for fixing the pay of those members of service, who have been inducted to IAS from SCS/Non-SCS with seniority of 9 years or more in IAS and have not completed their MCTP Phase-III.

8. The provisions regarding MCTP-111 in IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 are as under:

“Provided that a member of the service shall be appointed to the Junior Administrative Grade only after he has completed phase Ill mandatory Mid Career Training Programme with effect from the date on which he would have been eligible for appointment in the Junior Administrative Grade if not for completion of the mandatory Mid Career Training Programme.”

The above provisions stipulate for completion of MCTP-III for promotion of IAS officers from Senior Time Scale (STS) to Junior Administrative Grades (JAG). However, there may be situations where IAS officers appointed / selected from SCS / Non-SCS with a seniority of 9 years  or more as per provisions of  IAS (Regulation of Seniority) Rules, 1987, ARE REQUIRED TO BE placed directly in Junior Administrative Grade of IAS in the light of the instructions mentioned in para 2 to 7. In such situations , provisions regarding MCTP-III cannot extend to such officers, ipso-facto.

9. It has also been noticed that though the instructions mentioned in para 2 to 7 above comprehensively covers the matters pertaining to fixation of pay and grant of grade in IAS, on induction to IAS on being appointed / selected from SCS / Non­ SCS, there may arise certain doubts due to extant provisions regarding MCTP III which inter-alia provides it to be one of the criterion for considering IAS officers for promotion to the JAG.

10. Accordingly, it is clarified that as per the provisions contained in the instructions mentioned in para 2 to 7 above, the members of service having attained seniority of 9 years or more are eligible to be directly placed in Level 12 (JAG) on their induction to IAS on being appointed / selected from SGS / Non-SGS, in the manner explained  in the said   Further, while doing so, the  State Government shall ensure that such members of service shall be relieved to attend said MCTP-III in the first instance of nomination for the purpose and it shall be explicitly stipulated in the order itself that such members of service will have to mandatorily complete their training on being nominated for the same, failing which their promotion to next higher grade will be affected .

C. Guidelines regarding stepping up of pay of senior member of All India Service vis-a vis- of his junior in the cadre-reg.

11. The matter regarding anomalies in the pay of senior members of All India Service vis-a-vis pay of their juniors in the cadre who have been promoted to the Service or to a higher grade in the Service subsequent to the seniors, have been examined in this department and in this regard it is stated that such anomalies on account of fixation of pay on promotion, including the promotion from State Service to All India Service, can be solved by stepping up the pay of the senior member of Service at par with the pay of junior in the cadre from the date when the anomaly arose, subject to fulfillment of following conditions:

• (i) Both junior and senior should belong to the same cadre both in lower and higher In the case of anomaly in the pay of officers promoted from State service to IAS/ IPS/ IFS in a State cadre, both junior and senior should belong to same cadre in the State Service (lower grade).
• (ii) Anomaly must have arisen as a result of fixation of pay either on promotion from one grade to another grade in IAS/ IPS/ IFS or on promotion from State Service to IAS/ IPS/ IFS, as the case may be.
• (iii) Posts in higher and lower grade must be identical and in lower grade senior must not be drawing less pay than junior for whatsoever reasons.

For example if the junior officer draws higher rate of pay than the senior in the lower post or State service post by virtue of advance increments or on any other account, the above provisions will not be invoked to step up the pay of the senior officer.

The issue of the mode/ methodology of pay fixation and subsequent DNI on the merger of posts of JSO and SSO-II in DGQA in terms of DGQA, New Delhi’s letter no. A/92163 /CR/ DGQA/ Adm-7B dated 98-03-2016 had been referred to the MoD for clarification.

MoD as per their noting dated 23-03-2021 has stated that DOPT vide their note 8 dated 20-06-2019 (copies enclosed) have clarified the point wherein at para 3 they have stated that since this present issue does not involve fixation of pay under Rule 13 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016, the provision of pay fixation on option as enunciated in DOPT OM No. 13/92/2017-Estt(Pay-I) dated 27-07-2017 is not applicable in the present case as it involves merger/upgradation of posts consequent to Cadre Review.

2. The proposal of M/o Defence regarding fixation of pay and of ascertainment of date of next increment upon merger of the posts of JSO and SSO as 4 result of cadre review in DGQA has been examined in this Department. It has been proposed to this Division to allow option for fixation of pay from the date of next increment so that the said merger/UP gradation of posts may prove to be financially beneficial to the employees.

Subject: Bunching of Pay consequent upon pay fixation in promotional grades of junior officers- reg.

Sir,

I am directed to refer to references being received from the various Ministries / Departments of Central Government and from the State Governments, on the above-mentioned Subject and to say that Rule 4 (A) (ii) (a) &(b) of AS (Pay) Rules, 2016 state that:

7th CPC Pay Fixation Method for all Central Government Employees with Illustration

“(a) where, in the fixation of pay, the pay of members of the Service drawing pay at two or more stages in pre-revised Pay Band and Grade Pay or scale, as the case may be, get fixed at same Cell in the applicable Level the Pay Matrix, one additional increment Shall be given for every two stages bunched and the pay of member of Service drawing higher pay in pre-revised structure shall be fixed at the next vertical Cell in the applicable Level.

(b) For this purpose, pay drawn by two members of the Service in a given pay Band and Grade Pay or scale where the higher pay is at least 3% more than the lower pay Shall constitute two stages. Officers drawing pay where the difference is less than 3% shall not be entitled for this benefit.”

2. Accordingly, it is stated that the bunching benefits are granted to an officer when his/ her pay arrives equal to his/her junior due to revision of pay as per the new Pay Commission and not in the case when the junior gets equal pay due to promotion to next promotional grade. Hence. the bunching benefits do not apply to the cases where the junior officer is drawing equal pay to that of his/ her senior due to pay fixation in the promotional grade. However, a comparative chart worked out for indicating instances, wherein junior officer gets equal to that of his senior and senior office not being eligible for bunching, is enclosed for ready reference.

3. This issues with the approval of the competent authority.

Yours faithfully,

2. A number of references were received in the Ministry of Finance seeking clarifications regarding drawal of next increment by the employees promoted on 1st July, 2016. On consideration of the matter, Department of Expenditure vide it’s Office Memorandum of even number dated 31.07.2018 has clarified that in case an employee is promoted or granted financial up-gradation including up-gradation under the MACP scheme on 1st January or 1st July, where the pay is fixed in the Level applicable to the post on which promotion is made in accordance with the Rule 13 of the CCS (RP) Rules, 2016, the first increment in the Level applicable to the post on which promotion is made shall accrue on the following 1st July or 1st January, as the case may be, provided a period of 6 months qualifying service is strictly fulfilled. The next increment thereafter shall, however, accrue only after completion of one year.

3. Consequent upon issue of Office Memorandum dated 31.07.2018 different Ministries/ Departments have sought clarification on applicability of DOE’s O.M dated 31.07.2018 keeping in view the provisions of Rule 10 of CCS (RP) Rules 2016 , Rule 22(I)(a)(1) of Fundamental Rules & provisions of Stepping up of pay. The issues on which various Ministries/Departments have sought clarifications and decisions thereon are brought in the succeeding paragraphs.

Issue No. 1: Whether after promotion on 1st July and fixation of pay with two increments the date of next increment will be 1st January or 1st July

4. During the regime of 6th CPC, when the annual increment was admissible uniformly on 1st July every year, employees completing 6 months and above in the revised pay structure as on 1st July were eligible for grant of increment. In the 7th CPC regime there are two dates of increments 1st January and 1st July. Keeping in view the spirit of 6th CPC, O.M dated 31.07.2018 was issued providing for accrual of next increment on 1st July/1st January in respect of employees getting promotion on 1st January/1st July provided 6 months qualifying service is strictly fulfilled.

5. The instructions contained in the O.M. dated 31.07.2018 are self-explanatory in respect of the cases of promotion/ financial up-gradation falling on 1st July or Pt January. These instructions provide that in case of promotion/financial up-gradation on 1st July and 1st January and getting fixation of pay in the Level applicable to the post in which promotion is made in accordance with Rule 13 of the CCS (RP) Rules 2016, the first increment in the level in which promotion is made shall accrue on the following 1st January or 1st July, as the case may be, provided a period of 6 months’ qualifying service is fulfilled.

Issue No.2: Accrual of next increment in case of regular promotion /financial up-gradation of an employee on any date other than the date of annual increment and option for pay fixation is exercised under FR 22(I)(a)(1).

6. The opportunity to exercise of option for pay fixation under FR 22(I)(a)(1) is available to employees in case of promotion/financial up-gradation. Therefore, the Central Government Employee promoted on regular basis/granted financial up-gradation on any date other than the date of his/her annual increment in lower grade and exercises the option under FR 22(I)(a)(1) read with Department of Personnel & Training’s OM No.13/02/2017-Estt.(Pay-I) dated 27.07.2017 for fixation of pay from the date of accrual of next increment in the scale of pay in lower grade, he may be allowed the 1st increment in promotional grade on 1st January/ 1st July as the case may be after completion of 6 months’ qualifying service after such fixation on 1st July/1st January (i.e., the date of increment in lower grade) on the analogy of Department of Expenditure’s OM dated 31.07.2018. The next increment, thereafter, shall however, accrue only after completion of one year.

7. Since there is material change, it has also been approved that the employees who have been regularly promoted or granted financial up-gradation on or after 01.01.2016 and desire to exercise/re-exercise option for pay fixation under FR22(I)(a)(1) shall be given an opportunity to exercise or re-exercise of the option there under. Such an option shall be exercised within one month of issue of this O.M.

8. These instructions will be applicable with effect from 01.01.2016.

9. In so far as persons serving in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department are concerned, these orders issue after consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.

10. Hindi version of these orders is attached.

The Department of Expenditure vide, I.D. No, 02-01/2018-E,IIIA dated 09.09.2019 has viewed that the benefit of fixation of pay under Rule 13 at CCS (Revised Pay) Rules 2016, if availed at the time of NFU, the same should be offset at the time of promotion in the same level in order to avoid double fixation benefits. As such the AAOs (CCAS) who have been granted NFU in Pay Level 9 and availed benefit of fixation of pay under Rule 13 of

Sir,
Subject: CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 – Opportunity for revision of option to come over to revised pay structure – Clarifications.

Ref: This office Lr. No.669/ PM·II/IFA/Genl./ 7thCPC Pay fixation dated 23.07.2018 .

Following the O.M.No.4-13/17/IC/E-IIA dated 12th December, 2018 issued by the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Anance on the opportunity for revision of option to come over to reyised pay structure, this office has received references seeking clarification on the eligibility of the officials for exercising revised option from some of the units namely; O/o CPMG – Vijayawada, HRO – ‘V’ Division and Waltair RS HO in Visakhapatnam Division in A.P. Circle. The matter has been perused with reference to the OM dated 12.12.2018 and the CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 and the point of doubts are clarified as under:-

1. Point of doubt : In view of M.F., O.M. No.4-13/17-IC/E-IIIA dated 12th December, 2018 whether the officials who are awarded financial upgradation In Feb./ March/ August/ September, 2017 and December 2018 are eligible to exercise revised option to come over to revised pay structure on the date of their financial up-gradation under MACPS.

Clarification:- The Central Govt. employees have been permitted another opportunity to revise their Initial option to come into revised pay structure in terms of Rules 5 & 6 thereof of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 vide M.F., OM No.
4-13/ 17-IC/E-IIIA dated 12-12-2018. Wherein, it has been also repeated to make the meaning dear that all other terms and conditions as laid down in the said Rules 5 & 6 shall continue to be applicable for the revised options. As per the second provision of the Rule 5, in cases where a Government servant has been placed in a higher grade pay or scale between 1st January 2016 and the date of notification of these rules on account of promotion or up-gradation, the Government servant may switch over to the revised pay structure from the date of such promotion or up-gradation, as the case may be. Hence it is clarified that the officials who ace awarded promotion/ financial upgradation after the date of notification of the CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 (j,e. 25.07.2016) are not entitled to exercise option/revised option -to come over to the revised pay structure on the date of their promotion/ financial upgradation.

2. Point of doubt: In view of M.F., O.M. No.4-13/ 17-IC/E-IIIA dated 12th December, 2018 whether the officials who are awarded financial upgradation In Feb./ March, 2017 under MACPS are eligible to exercise revised option to come over to revised pay structure on the date of their subsequent increment in pre revised pay structure (i.e. on 01.07.2017).

Clarification:- As furnished In the clarification on point of doubt – 1 above, all other terms and conditions as laid down In the Rules 5 &. 6 thereof shall continue to be applicable for exercising revised option. As per the first provision of the Rule 5, a Government servant may elect to Continue to draw pay in the existing pay structure until the date on which he earns his next or any subsequent increment In the existing pay structure or until he vacates his post or ceases to draw pay in the existing pay structure. As per explanation-1 under the Rule 5, the option to retain the existing pay structure under the provisions to this rule shall be admissible only in respect of one existing pay Band and Grade pay or Scale.

Further, switching over to the revised pay structure either on 01-01-2016 or
from a later date than 01-01-2016 i.e. on the date of promotion/ upgradation
or the date next/ any subsequent increment, are applicable under Rule 5 in case of post/ Pay Band or Grade Pay held on 01-01-2016. Thus, if the date of next or any subsequent increment (i.e. on 01-07-2016 or any subsequent date of increment) for a post/Pay Band or Grade Pay held on 01-01-2016 falls after the date of promotion, then the date of next/ any subsequent increment for the post/ Pay Band or Grade Pay held on 01-01-2016 has no relevance for option, as this post/ Pay Band or Grade Pay on 01.01.2016 is no longer held on the date of next/ any subsequent date of Increment.

Hence. it is clarified that the officials who are awarded promotion/ financial up gradation under MACPS prior to the next or any subsequent date of increment in the pre revised Day structure are not entitled to exercise option/revised option to come over to revised Day structure on the date of next or any subsequent date of increment i e 01.07.2016 or 01.07.2017 etc. (With regards to the said clarifications this officer. No. 69/ PM-II/IFA/ Genl./ 7thCPC Pay fixation Visakhapanam by endorsing copies to all the Regional Offices and the Divisional Heads may also be referred to.)

Point of doubt on Method of fixation of pay: As per the representations, the officials are seem to be on the opinion that fixation of their pay on promotion/ up-gradation on or after 01 -01-2016 will be done first in pre revised pay structure (6th CPC) and then (after placement to the promotional grade in pre revised pay structure), the revision of pay in the revised pay structure will be done as per Rule 7 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016.

Clarification : In case of an admissible option is exercised to come over to revised pay structure on the date of promotion/ up-gradation or on the date of next/ any subsequent increment in pre revised pay structure; revision of pay will be made first as prescribed in clause A of sub rule 1 under Rule 7 of the CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 w.r.t. the existing basic pay in pre revised pay structure-e i.e. in the prescribed existing Pay Band and Grade Pay, and after switching over to the r-evised pay structure, the fixation of pay on promotion (after 01.01.2016) shall be made as prescribed in rule 13 of the CCS-(RP) Rules, 2016.

This has the approval of the General Manager (Finance).,

Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension
Department of Personnel & Training

New Delhi, dated the 28th February, 2019

To
The Chief Secretaries of all States/UTs

Subject: Pay fixation of SCS/Non-SCS officers promoted to IAS subsequent to the implementation of 7th CPC recommendations-reg.

Sir/Madam.

In supersession of this Department’s letter of even number dated the 7th April, 2017 on the above mentioned subject, I am directed to say that the initial pay of a promoted officer or an officer appointed by selection as the case may be shall be fixed at the stage of the senior scale next above his actual pay. There is no provision of increment at the stage of initial fixation.

Rule 5(6) of lAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 provides for the fixation of pay of a Member of Service on promotion to Selection Grade (Level-13) of Pay Matrix by adding one increment in the Level- 12 of Pay Matrix and two additional increments in the Level 13 to which he is promoted. Rule 5(5) of lAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 provides that the pay of a member of the Service in the Senior Time Scale shall, on promotion to the Junior Administrative Grade he fixed in Level 12 of the Pay Matrix.

in respect of fixation of pay of officers who were promoted/Selected in lAS through SCS/Non-SCS respectively in Senior Time Scale/Junior Administrative Grade after 01.01.2016, the initial pay shall be fixed in the respective level of the Senior Scale i.e Level 11,12 01. 13 based on the year of allotment in the lAS. However, the pay drawn in the State Civil Services will be protected in the concerned Level. An illustration is as under:

Shri X who is drawing pay at Rs. 48920 (Rs.40220 [pay in the pay band + GP Rs.8700] is promoted/selected to lAS on 04.03.2016. lie is allotted 2010 batch. The pay on promotion/selection to lAS would be as under:

4. The pay of IAS officers who were promoted/selected in IAS through SCS/Non-SCS respectively prior to 01.01.2016 will be converted as per 7th CPC on 01.01.2016 and they shall notionally in the Level of Pay Matrix, in accordance with the length of service as per their allotment year, at the stage of the senior scale. On their actual promotion to JAG/Selection Grade, the pay of these officers will then be fixed as per IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016. That is, the officers will be eligible for two additional increments on their actual promotions to Level 12/ Level 13 after completion of 9/13 years of service in IAS respectively. An Illustration is as under:

The provision contained in part (7) of Schedule-I of AS (Pay) Rules, 2016, which provides that ‘Notwithstanding anything contained in these rules, the pay of a promoted officer or an officer appointed by selection, as the case may be, shall not at any time exceed the basic pay which he would have drawn as a direct recruit on that date if he had been appointed to the Indian Administrative Service on the date on which he was appointed to the State Civil Service or in a Gazetted post in the non-State Civil Service, after attaining the age of twenty five years, as the case may be” shall be adhered to.

This issues with the approval of the competent authority.

Yours faithfully,
(Vasanthi V Babu)
Under Secretary to the Government of India
