Sub: Clarification on pay fixation consequent upon the upgradation and merger of the post of Accounts Officer (Pay Level-09) to Sr. Accounts Officer (Pay Level-10)

This HQrs. AN-VIII section has issued a letter no. AN/VIIN/8210/ RR/SAO/ 2021/p-212 dated 08.08.2023 notifying that in the DAD the posts of Accounts Officer has been upgraded from existing Pay Level-09 to Pay Level-10 and subsequently it has been merged with the post of Senior Accounts Officer.

2. Consequently, the following provisions may please be adhered to while regulating the pay fixation of the affected officers:-

(i) Assumption of higher duties and responsibilities is not involved in the upgradation and merger of Accounts Officer (L-09) with the post of Sr. Accounts Officer (L-10). Therefore, the provisions of Rule 13 of CCS (RP) Rules 2016 and FR 22(I)a(1) are not applicable. i.e. the benefit of notional/ promotional increment is not to be granted.

(ii) The upgradation is not a promotion and no higher responsibilities are involved, therefore. pay is to be fixed as per provision of FR 22(1)a)(2) ie. the officer shall draw as initial pay, the stage of the time-scale (L-10) which is equal to his pay in respect of the old post(L-09) and if there is no such stage, the stage next above his pay in r/o of the old post (L-09) in the upgraded Pay Level-10.

(iii) There is upwards revision of pay scale of the post of Accounts Officer from Pay Level-09 to the post of Sr. Accounts Officer in Pay Level-10. Therefore, FR 22(I)(a)(2), the officer will have an option to be exercised within one month from the date of such appointment, for fixation of his pay in the new post with effect from the date of appointment to the new post or with effect from the date of increment in the old post.

(iv) If the officer chooses to get his pay fixed w.e.f. his date of increment in the old post of Accounts Officer (L-09), as per FR 23, he will retain his old pay until the date on which he has earned his next or any subsequent increment. On the DNI the officer will get his usual increment in the post of Accounts Officer (L-09) and thereafter his pay will be placed in the pay Level-10 (applicable to Sr. Accounts Officer) at the same stage and if there is no such stage the stage next above his pay in Pay Level-09. The option once exercised will be final.

(v) As per FR 23 the holder of a post. the pay of which is changed, shall be treated as if he were transferred to a new post on the new pay. As a consequence of upgradation and merger of Posts of Accounts Officer (L-09) and Sr. Accounts Officer (L-10). the pay of incumbents is changed to L-10 as such they may be treated as if they are transferred to a new post on the new pay. As per FR 22 (1)(a)(2) in cases where pay is fixed at the higher stage, he shall get his next increment on completion of the period when an increment is earned in the time-scale of the new post. Since the qualifying service for earning increments in a post is six months, the officers would be entitled to next increment after six months of qualifying service thereafter they will be granted increment annually.

This issues with the approval of CGDA.

This HOrs. had taken up a case with DoP&T seeking clarification on the date from which financial upgradation under MACPS is to be granted in respect of an employee who had been found “Not Fit” by the initial Screening Committee due to not meeting the prescribed benchmark (based on APAR grading) but in subsequent year/ years he was recommended “Fit” by the Screening Committee after meeting the prescribed benchmark.

2. Clarification issued by the DoP&T vide its ID Note No. 1462926/21/CR dated 04.10.2021 is as follows:-

“The matter has been examined. It is clarified that due to the reason of the employee being declared ‘Unfit’ for not meeting the prescribed benchmark (based on APAR grading) by the initial Screening Committee and if the employee is recommended ‘Fit’ by the Screening Committee for subsequent year/years, on his meeting the prescribed benchmark, financial upgradation under MACPS would be granted to the employee from the date” of meeting of that Screening Committee, which has recommended him ‘Fit’ for grant of MACP. Further, this would have consequential effect of deferment of the subsequent financial Upgradation under MACPS in the extent the previous financial upgradation gets postponed.”

3. All related cases (including the cases settled earlier) may be regulated accordingly.

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.

The issue was again referred to MoD for taking up the issue of method to be adopted for pay fixation on such merger of JSO to SSO-II in DGQA organization with Department of Expenditure for obtaining clarification On the same. 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.

3. As such, it is viewed that in such cases of merger of the post of JSO (GP Rs 4800/- in PB 2) with SSO-II (GP Rs 5400/- in PB 3), the pay MAY be regulated by mere placement of JSOs to the corresponding stage in level 10 of the pay matrix (Corresponding to GP Rs 5400/- in PB 3), i.e. the pay level of the past of SSO-II.

This has the approval of Jt. CGDA (Army).

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.

3. In this context it is informed that this Division has issued guidelines on the methodology of fixation of pay On promotion to a post carrying higher responsibilities of greater importance of a Government Servant in case he opts to get his pay fixed under Rule 13 of CCS(RP)Rules, 2016 vide OM No.13/02/2017-Estt(Pay-I) dated 27th July, 2017 (pg.7-9/C). Since this present issue does not of pay under Rule 13, of CCS(RP) Rules, 2016, the provision of pay fixation on option as enunciated in OM ibid is not applicable in the present case as it involve merger/up-gradation of posts consequent to cadre review.

4. Further it is relevant to mention that provisions on accrual of increment laid under Rule 10 of CCS(RP)Rules, 2016 as well as matter relating to revision of pay and up gradation of posts in respect of Ministries/Department come under the domain of D/o Expenditure. Accordingly, any guidelines “for pay fixation on merger of post may be issued by MoD in consultation with D/o Expenditure in the light of extant instructions/guidelines on merger of posts as 4 result of cadre review in DGQA.

5. This has the approval of AS(E).
