Designated Officers of Member Banks which are

parties to Bipartite Settlement

Dear Sirs,

Fitment formula on promotion from  Clerical  to  Officer cadre

We invite reference to our circular No. PD/CIR/76/582/565 dated 12.8.2006 enclosing the formula for giving fitment to clerical staff on promotion to officer cadre. Consequent upon the revision of the pay scales and allowances for workmen staff under the Ninth Bipartite Settlement as also for officers under the Officers’ Service Regulations w.e.f. 1.11.2007, a review of the existing fitment formula had become necessary.

The matter was considered by the Personnel Committee of IBA at its meeting held on 25^th March 2011 and Managing Committee of IBA at its meeting held on 29^th March 2011.  The Committees have approved the continuation of the 2006 model, as adapted to the current pay scales, for fitment of clerical staff on promotion to officer cadre in JMG Scale I on or after 1.11.2007. The new fitment formula with related guidelines is enclosed in Annexure.

Member banks who have not adopted their own fitment formula on the basis of written agreements/settlements reached with their respective officers’ associations/workmen unions or are not required to adhere to any court directive in the matter, may consider adopting the new model fitment formula in respect of promotions effected on or after 1.11.2007.

Kindly acknowledge receipt.

Yours faithfully,

        Sd..

Note :
1.	The promotee officer after fitment as above, will draw his next increment in the Officers' Scale on the anniversary date of his last increment in clerical cadre and thereafter he will draw his further increments every year on the same date.  However, in view of the clubbing of stages in the fitment table, the employee in the lower clubbed stage of clerical scale of pay will get his next increment after promotion on the anniversary date of promotion.
2.	Those who were drawing a basic pay between the 1st and 9th stage in the clerical scale given in the above table, will be fitted at the minimum of the Officers' Scale and will draw their next increment on the anniversary date of promotion.
3.(a)	Those who have completed more than one year at basic pay of `18300/19300, `19100/20100, `19900/20900, `20700/21700, `21500/22500 will draw their next increment on the anniversary date of their last increment in the clerical cadre immediately following the date of promotion and will draw their subsequent annual increment on the same date. Those who have completed less than one year at basic pay of `18300/19300, `19100/20100, `19900/20900, `20700/21700 & `21500/22500 will draw their next increment after fitment, on the anniversary date of promotion and thereafter draw their annual increments every year on the same date.

(b)	Those who have completed more than one year at basic pay of `22300/23300, `23100/24100 and `23900/24900 will be given fitment in the Officers' Scale at `25700 and will earn their next increment on the anniversary date of promotion subject to their crossing their Efficiency Bar as per guidelines issued by the Government under Regulation 5 of Officers' Service Regulations.
(c)	In all cases where promotee officers reach the maximum stage in the substantive JMG Scale I (`25700), further increment in the next higher scale will be subject to their crossing Efficiency Bar as per guidelines issued by the Government under Regulation 5 of Officers' Service Regulations
4.	Promotees who are drawing Fixed Personal Pay in terms of Settlement dated 27.4.2010 may continue to draw the same quantum of Fixed Personal Pay even after promotion which shall remain unaltered till revised (please refer to IBA circular no.CIR/HR&IR/90/665/E12/2010-11/1416 dated 30.9.10.)
5.	If the promotee officer has passed JAIIB or CAIIB at the time of his promotion, notional basic pay will be arrived at after reducing the increments earned for passing JAIIB/CAIIB, from the clerical basic pay.  He shall then be fitted in the Officers' Scale in accordance with the above table and appropriate one or two increments in the Officers' Scale shall be added with basic pay so fixed.  The date of increment will be determined as per (1) above, if after reduction of increments in the clericial scale, the basic pay falls in the lower clubbed stage.  This adjustment, however, will not be made where the number of increments to be reduced is higher than the number of increments to be granted.
6.	If despite the fitment as given above, the emoluments (basic pay and dearness allowance) drawn as an officer on promotion are less than the emoluments (basic pay and stagnation increment if any, functional special pay on permanent basis and dearness allowance) drawn as a clerk, the difference may be protected by way of Temporary Personal Allowance to be wiped off, in three years, at the rate of 1/3 Temporary Personal Allowance.  This allowance will not rank of dearness allowance and superannuation benefits.
7.	If an employee has passed CAIIB after reaching the 20th stage of the clerical cadre and promoted to Officers’ scale subsequently, he/she shall be granted one increment for passing CAIIB Part-I/JAIIB and another increment for passing CAIIB Part-II after fitment in Officers’ scale as per his/her clerical stage of pay before promotion.
