(c) These clarifications may be read in continuation of the norms / guidelines prescribed in the main Regulations dated 1st March 2019 issued by AICTE.

II. General

AICTE had received several representations seeking clarifications on certain issues arising out of the implementation of AICTE Regulations No. 61-1/RIFD/7th CPC/2016-17 dated 1st March 2019 on revised Pay Scales, Service Conditions and Minimum Qualifications for the Teachers and other Academic Staff in Technical Institutions (Degree & Diploma) Regulations, 2019.

Clarifications on the issues arising out of implementation of 7th CPC AICTE Notification dated 1st March 2019 (Degree & Diploma) are given below:

Sr. No.	Issue	Clarification
1.	The post of workshop superintendent in Diploma level institutions is not included in AICTE Notification dated 01.03.2019 whereas the same has been included in degree notification dated 01.03.2019. The post of Workshop Superintendent should be at par with the Head of Department at Diploma Institution.	AICTE notification dated 05.03.2010 has treated workshop superintendents in diploma level institutions at par with Lecturers for upward mobility.Accordingly, the post of workshop superintendents in diploma level institutions will continue to be at par with Lecturers for the benefits of promotion applicable to Lecturers in the Notification dated 01.03.2019. For the purpose of clarity, the entry pay, levels and mode of recruitment for the post of workshop superintendent is as given in the Table-1 below.However, the fundamental requirement of this entitlement is the parity in the qualifications with those of lecturers. Workshop Superintendents shall also be eligible to be selected as HoD and Principals through direct recruitment.

TABLE – 1

Cadre Structure and Mode of Appointment

Sr. No.	Designations of Teaching Faculty	Entry Pay (Rs.)	Level	Mode of Appointment
1	Workshop Superintendent	56,100/-	9A	Direct Recruitment
2	Workshop Superintendent	57,700/-	10	Promotion / Direct Recruitment
3	Workshop Superintendent (Senior Scale)	68,900/-	11	Promotion
4	Workshop Superintendent (Selection Grade-I)	79,800/-	12	Promotion
5	Workshop Superintendent (Selection Grade-II)	131,400/-	13A1	Promotion

2.	Pay, qualifications and promotion channel for a cadre of librarians working in Diploma Institutions are not included in the AICTE notification dated 1st March 2019.	It is proposed that the similar structure as that of lecturer and workshop superintendent be followed for the cadre of Librarians in Diploma Institutions. However, the requirement of qualifications, trainings, number of years of service and other criteria will be required to be met at par with lecturers.
3.	There is a discrepancy in the grant of non- compounded advance increment on acquiring Ph.D. Degree for Assistant Professor. The Junior Assistant Professor who joins after 01.01.2016 will get a higher salary than the person who joined earlier than him before 01.01.2016. This discrepancy needs to be removed.	CCS Rules take care of such anomaly.In such cases the stepping up should be done with effect from the date of promotion or appointment of the junior Government servant and will be subject to the following conditions, namely:
(a) Both the junior and the senior Government servants should belong to the same cadre and the posts in which they have been promoted are identical in the same cadre;(b) The level in the Pay Matrix of the lower and higher posts in which they are entitled to draw pay should be identical.(c) The anomaly is directly as a result of the application of the provisions of Fundamental Rule 22(I)(a)(1) read with rule 13 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016. For example, if the junior officer was drawing more pay in the existing pay structure than the senior by virtue of any advance increments granted to him, the provisions of this sub-rule should not be invoked to step up the pay of the senior officer.‖(DoPT letter no. 4/3/2017-Estt. (Pay-I) dated 26th October, 2018.
4.	In pay matrix table (for Diploma institutions) the figures from cell No. 20 onwards does not increase @ 3% in pay.	The pay matrix table for Diploma institutions has been amended and the same is enclosed as Annexure- I.

The figure so arrived at, will be located at that level in the Pay Matrix and if such an identical figure corresponds to any cell in the applicable level of the Pay Matrix, the same shall be the pay, and if no such cell is available in the applicable level, the pay shall be fixed in the immediate next higher cell in that applicable level of the Pay Matrix. If the figure arrived at in this manner is less than the first cell on that level, then the pay shall be fixed at the first cell on that level of Pay Matrix.In cases where in revision of pay, the pay of Government Servant 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 in the new Pay Matrix, one additional increment shall be given for every two stages bunched and the pay of Government Servant drawing higher pay in the pre –revised structure shall be fixed at the next vertical cell in the applicable level as per Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure OM No. 1- 6/2016-IC dated 7th September 2016.

Group X Pay on 7th Pay Commission Report

admin — Tue, 08 Dec 2015 02:41:39 +0000

7th Pay Commission Report on Group X Pay

7th CPC has recommended X-Pay of Rs. 6200 to existing defence personnel who are in receipt of X-Pay and possessing qualification equivalent to Diploma approved by AICTE

Group ‘X’ pay for JCOs/ORs and equivalent has been sought to be enhanced by four times from the existing rate of Rs.1,400 per month. In the context of change in nature of warfare the requirement of a higher technological threshold has been emphasized by the Services.

The Commission has taken due note of the emphasis being placed on skilled manpower with higher educational and technological thresholds.

While determining X pay for X group of JCOs/ORs the VI CPC considered the relativity of some of the grades of JCOs/ORs in Group X with diploma holders in engineering on the civil side. In case of civilians, posts requiring minimum qualification of diploma in engineering are placed in GP 4200 and in defence forces, some of the posts in X group whose minimum qualification held equivalent to diploma in engineering are placed in GP 2800.

The element of X group pay was therefore fixed at Rs.1,400. The Commission has examined the existing educational and training requirements of X pay personnel and has already noted the wide variation that exists in the three Services in this regard. It has therefore recommended that all X trades should mandatorily involve obtaining a qualification which is equivalent of a diploma in engineering (recognised by AICTE).

The approach adopted by the VI CPC in determining X pay is agreed with. At the same time the incentive structure needs to have a bearing with the qualifications.

Accordingly, this 7th Pay Commission has recommended the following

i. X pay for JCOs/ORs in Group X at Rs.6,200 per month for all X trades which involve obtaining a qualification which is equivalent of a diploma recognised by AICTE. This amount is the difference in the minimum of the Pay level 6 (corresponding to Grade Pay of Rs.4200 in VI CPC), and Pay level 5 (corresponding to Grade Pay of Rs.2800 in VI CPC).

ii. X pay for JCOs/ORs in Group X at Rs.3,600 per month (standard fitment of 2.57 on the existing X pay of Rs.1,400), for those currently in X pay, but not having a technical qualification recognised by AICTE.
