    Due to transfer, after availing joining time for a period of 10 days from 21.06.2023 to 30.06.2023, I have joined in the new place of posting on 03.07.2023, as 01.07.2023 & 02.03.2023 are being saturday and Sunday. My increment date is 01.07.2023 and the administrative authorities are postponed my increment to 03.07.2023, as per my joining report. Please clarify whether i am eligible for increment from 01.07.2023 or 03.07.2023.

      Holidays following Joining Time are treated as deemed extension of Joining Time (Rule 5(4)). Hence, you would be treated as on Joining Time till reporting to duty i.e. on 03.07.2023. Since increment’s Monetary Benefit cannot be allowed while on Joining Time, the stand taken by your Office holds good. Technically increment would be treated as released from 01.07.2023, but Monetary Benefit would be admissible only from 03.07.2023.
