COMMENTS
hello, i was appointed as accountant on 26.05.2016. from what date i will get increment (01.01.2017 or 01.07.2017). I clear the departmental confirmatory exam on 10.06.2017. will i get arrear also.? plzz guide
what is the relevant FR applicable in the case of a cntral government employee tranferring to a lower grade pay from a higher grade pay on account of selection in competitive exam. Will his pay be protected in this case. DOes any body have any idea? FR 15 was relevant for the 6th pay commissione regime. But what rule will be applicable in 7th pay commission.
My macp for grade pay from 2800 to 4200/- granted wef 12/7/16 could I elect to go with existing structure according to rule5 para 3 of CCS RP 2016 on the basis of date of notification I E 25/7/16.
I would like to ask. . For anyone getting a promotion next year. Say in april 17. . . . Will he or she be allowed to file option if thier yearly increment is in july. . . . If they r allowed. . . . . Then why r employees promoted this year between 2nd jan n 30th june not allowed to file option
But all websites and all zonal accounts offices claim that if we file an option to fixation as on 1st jan. . For fixation under 7th cpc. . . Then we will have our next increment as on 1st jan 17
Or they r asking us to file option 2. So that the 7th cpc fixation is done from 1st july 16. . . And since we opt for continuing in 6th cpc. . We will not get arrears. . Though we will get higher basic. . . .
My contention is that we should be allowed to file TWO OPTION FORMS THE FIRST BEING FOR FIXATION AS ON 1ST JAN 16 FOR FIXATION IN 7TH CPC. . AND 2ND FOR FIXATION OF OUR FINANCIAL UPGRADATION FROM APRIL 25TH TO 1ST JULY 16. . . .
we ARE not allowed to file another option form. . .in my case i have had a financial upgradtion on 25th april. Whereby increasing my GRADE PAY FROM. 4800 TO 5400. . . TO FILE ANOTHER OPTION FORM. that my financial upgradation be done after 1st july increment. . . . .
ACTUALLY THE TERM. OPTION AND FIXATION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN USED FOR FIXATION FOR 7TH CPC. . WHICH IS CREATING ALL THE CONFUSION. . . . . PLS CHECK OTHER WEBSITE RESPONSES SINCE ALL SAY THAT WE SHOULD FOREGO ARREARS N TAKE HIGHER BASIC. . . . . . BUT IF SOMEONE NEXT YEAR IS GONNA GET PROMOTION THEN HE OR SHE WILL B ALLOWED TO FILE OPTION WHEREAS WE ARE NOT BEING ALLOWED. . . N NO CLARIFICATION ALSO ISSUED. . . . PLS DO ANSWER
first increment will be on 1.7.16.
His next date of increment will be 01.07.2017
Whether an employee whose pay has been fixed in the revised pay structure on 1st January, 2016 will get an increment on 1st July, 2016 since his date of increment in the old pay structure was 1st July?
