(4) Where the existing emoluments exceed the revised emoluments in the case of any Warrant Officer/ Sergeant/Corporal/Leading Aircraftsman/Aircraftsman, the difference shall be allowed as Personal Pay to be absorbed in future increases in pay.

(6) Where a Warrant Officer/ Sergeant/Corporal/Leading Aircraftsman/Aircraftsman is in receipt of Personal Pay immediately before the date of notification of these rules, which together with his existing emoluments exceed the revised emoluments, then the difference representing such excess shall be allowed to such a Warrant Officer/ Sergeant/Corporal/Leading Aircraftsman/Aircraftsman as Personal Pay, to be absorbed in future increase in pay.

The quantum of such personal pay would be paid at the appropriate rate of increment in the revised pay structure from the date of fixation of pay for the period for which they would have continued to draw it.
