OFFICERS FITMENT ON PROMOTION!

REPOSTED WITH CLARIFICATION ON REEADERS' REQUEST!

Officers’ Service Regulations – Fitment on promotion from one Scale to a higher Scale Procedure for Fitment of pay of officers on promotion from one scale to another.

1.   At the time of fitment of an officer on promotion to the higher scale of pay, the number of increment he would have/had earned i.e., one increment each for passing JAIIB/CAIIB Examination, as the case may be, shall be first reduced from the existing pay of the concerned officer prior to his fitment in the higher scale of pay on promotion. If, however, the officer is at the maximum of the scale, the following procedure should be adopted:

(i)      If the stagnation at the maximum of the scale is less than one year, the officer would not be drawing any Professional Qualification Pay. Then the number of increments i.e., one increment for JAIIB/CAIIB, as the case may be, included in his Basic Pay shall be reduced in the existing scale.

(ii)     If the stagnation at the maximum of the scale is for a year or more but for less than 2 years, the officer would be drawing a Professional Qualification Pay of Rs 410/- p.m. In such cases, if he had passed both JAIIB/CAIIB before the date of promotion, then one increment shall be reduced in the existing scale. If, however, such Professional Qualification Pay of Rs 410/- p.m. is for JAIIB only, then no increment need be reduced from the existing scale.

2.   If the stagnation at the maximum of the scale is for 2 year or more, the officer who has passed both JAIIB/CAIIB before the date of promotion, would be drawing a Professional Qualification Pay of Rs 1030/- p.m. In this case, there would be no scope for reducing the increments for JAIIB/CAIIB as even without CAIIB increments the officer would be at the maximum of the scale.

Note: The purpose of the above exercise is to determine as to what stage of scale of pay the officer would have been, had he not been granted increments for passing JAIIB/CAIIB.

3.   Thereafter, one increment shall be notionally added in the old scale i.e., the scale from which the officer is being promoted and his pay shall be fixed at the appropriate stage in the higher scale. Where in the pre-promoted scale, the officer has already reached the maximum, the notional increment to be added would be equal to the last increment drawn by him in the pre-promoted scale. The fixation so arrived will be the Basic pay in the promoted scale as on the date of promotion.

4.   After such fitment in the higher scale of pay one or two increments shall be added to the Basic Pay so fixed in respect of JAIIB or of CAIIB, as the case may be. If, however, no increments are available in the scale, or only one increment is available in the scale, after allowing the available increment/s, the officer shall be allowed Professional Qualification Pay in lieu of such remaining increment(s), if any.

5.   Normally, where an officer is promoted from one scale to another, the date of his increment shall be the anniversary date in the previous scale of pay. Where however, an officer has reached the maximum in the previous (pre-promoted) scale of pay or on promotion gets an increase in the Basic Pay equivalent to two or more increments in the previous (pre-promoted) scale of pay, the date of increment shall be the anniversary date of promotion. However, if the Basic Pay after reduction of JAIIB/CAIIB increments is not at the maximum, then the date of increment shall be the anniversary date off last increment. Provided further that if an officer who is in Scale 1, II or III is promoted to higher scale after reaching the maximum in the previous (pre-

promoted) Scale of pay but before drawing stagnation increment, the date of his increment in the higher scale shall be the anniversary date of promotion or due date of stagnation increment in the previous (pre-promoted) scale whichever is earlier.

6.   In the case of officer in Scale I and II promoted after moving into higher Scale II and III because of stagnation movement, the notional increment to be added shall be the increment drawn by him on the date of promotion and the next and subsequent increment shall be on the anniversary date on which the member has drawn his increment in the previous scale.

7.   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.
