Expecting Dopt order regarding the issue of ‘Date of Next Increment’ – Agenda item No.5(v)

National Anomaly Committee – Agenda item No.5(v) – ‘Date of
Next Increment’

Anomaly Committee. The news was that, the decision of the recently concluded in
fourth National Anomaly Committee (NAC Meeting) regarding the anomaly in
annual increment arising due to the implementation of 6th Central Pay
Commission Recommendations.

The decision is that before the implementation of 6th CPC,
those employees whose yearly increment falls between February to June are
eligible to get one increment in the pre-revised scale from 1.1.2006 as one
time measure. In other words, “Annual increment falls between 1st February 2006
and 1stJune 2006, first increment will be granted on January 2006 on V CPC rates
and the second will be granted on July 2006 on VI CPC rates as one time
measure”.

The only particular group of employees are eligible to get
the increment as one time measure, everyone should know that this decision does
not have any effect on other employees.

“Qualifying period for earning an increment is 6 months
on 1st July”.

As per Rule 10 of CCS(RP) Rules, 2008 there will be one
uniform date of annual increment, viz. 1st July of every year. Government
servants completing 6 months and above in the revised pay structure as on 1st of
July will be eligible to be granted the increment. Accordingly, all Government
servants who earned their last increment between 02.01.2005 and 01.01.2006
would get their next increment on 01.07.2006.

For those employees whose date of next increment falls on
01.01.2006, the instructions already provide for granting an increment in the
pre-revised pay scale as on 01.01.2006 and then fixing their pay in the revised
pay scales. Such Government servants would also get their next increment on
01.07.2006.

Due to implementation of the above said rule, concerning the
anomaly has been discussed in every meeting of National Anomaly Committee and
finally a decision was taken. Now, we are expecting a Government order
regarding the issue through Dopt, which may help to calculate the pay fixation
and arrears exactly.
