1st July of every year – ‘Increment Day’ for Central Government employees

1st July of every year – ‘Increment Day’ for Central Government employees

As per the 6th Pay Commission CCS (Revised Pay) Rules 2008, provisions of Rule 10 with effect from 1.1.2006, uniform date of increment was implemented for all Central Government employees i.e. 1st July of every year. One more condition for getting increment is provided in this rule, completing six months in the same pay as on 1st of July are only eligible to be granted the annual increment. Who have not rendered six months period of service as on first of a year will not be eligible to draw increment on that day and their date of increment will fall 12 months later on the next 1st of July.

Today is the ‘Increment Day’ for all Central Government employees. If the increment day falls on Sundays or holidays, the next working day will be taken as resumption day. In case of an employee taken leave 2.7.2012, his increment benefit will be granted only from the date on which he resumes duty and not from the first of July.

There would be rare chance to occur such problems to take leave on increment day. But whereas, better to avoid to take leave on first working day of any year. Normally most in the Government organisations, promotion orders are not publishing on the date of promotion. If the promotion date falls on first January, there should be condition on assumption that the promotee should be present for the duty on that day of promotion. If not, the promotion is to be granted only from the date of resumption of duty on return from leave. According to this rule, qualifying period for earning an increment is six months on 1st July, the date of next increment will postponed to the next year.

In the light of the above situation, if the first day of any year falls on Sundays or Holidays, the Dopt clarified that the ‘Government servants who join posts on the 1st working day of the year will be treated to have completed six months of service on 1st of July of that year for the purpose of granting them annual increment on that day’.

Every Central Government employee should know the calculation of Annual or Promotion increment, one increment is equal three percent of the sum of the Pay in the Pay Band plus Grade Pay and it should be calculated and rounded off to the next multiple of ten.

Annual Increment calculation :-

An employee’s basic pay of Rs.12,030 including Grade Pay of Rs.2,800, his increment fixation will be fixed as follows…

Basic Pay including Grade Pay : Rs.12,030

3% increment for Rs.12,030 and it rounded off to the next multiple of ten : Rs. 360

His Basic Pay as fixed on 1st July : Rs.12,390

[Note that in the case of calculation of increments under the revised pay structure of 6th CPC, paise should be ignored, but any amount of a rupee or more should be rounded off to next multiple of ten.]

Increment issues – Why is Annual Increment denied to employees retiring in June?

Increment issues – Why is Annual Increment denied to employees retiring in June?

Why is Annual Increment denied to employees retiring in June?

Until 01.01.2006, the date of implementing employee’s annual increment was fixed on the basis of his/her date of appointment or promotion option. After the 6th CPC, it was decided that 1st July of each year would be the uniform date of implementation of annual increment for all Central Government employees.

Employees who are appointed after January 1st are not eligible for that year’s annual increment on July 1. They qualify for annual increment only the next year.

The revised pay rules said that “If an employee is on leave or is availing joining time on the 1st of July, the benefit of annual increment in pay will be drawn only from the date on which he resumes duty and not from the first of July. Each year, employees who retire in the month of June are not given the annual increment of the year since they do not report to work on 1st July. Only those employees who resume duty on July 1st are eligible to receive the annual increment. Or, the day they report back to work is taken as the date for implementing the annual increment. Since there are no possibilities for the retired employees to return to work, they are not considered as qualified to receive the annual increment.

The revised pay rules states that only those who have been receiving the same basic pay continuously for 6 months are considered as qualified for annual increment. According to the another rule of qualification for increment, the person should have complete one year in service after receiving the annual increment. Therefore, despite being qualified, these employees are denied their annual increment.

There is an order that states that those who retire on July 1st should complete the retirement formalities in the month of June.

Instead of strictly looking into such technicalities, it would be a nice gesture on the part of the Government to extend the benefits of annual increment to those senior employees too who retire from service in the month of June.

Pay Fixation with one additional increment is admissible to those promoted to identical Pay Band / Grade Pay

Railway Board replied to the General Secretary of NFIR on the issue Item No.1//2014 of PNM.
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS
(Railway Board)
No.PC-VI/2014/IR-N/4
New Delhi, dated 01.04.2015.
GeneralSecretary
NationalFederationofIndianRailwaymen
3,ChelmsfordRoad
New Delhi-110055.
Subject: Grant of promotional increment under rule 13 of RS(RP) Rules, 2008 to those promoted to identical Pay Band /Grade Pay shouldering higher responsibilities.
Ref: Item no.1/2014 of PNM.
Sir,
In terms of rule 13 of Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008, fixation of pay with one additional increment is admissible in the situations of promotion from one Grade Pay to another. Prior to implementation of above rules, fixation of pay on appointment from one post to another was governed by Rule 1313(FR22)(1)(a)(1)R-II (still in force) which provides for fixation of pay involving additional increment appointment / promotion as per the provisions of Recruitment Rules in the situations involving assumption of duties and responsibilities of greater importance. Further, in terms of Rule 1313 (FR22)(III)R-II appointment in identical pay scale is not to be deemed as a case of assumption of duties and responsibilities of greater importance.
2. Consequent upon implementation of recommendations of 6th CPC there were various situations of appointment to identical Pay in the nominal promotional hierarchy of the employee and such posts could not be merged (in terms of recommendations of 6th CPC envisaging merger of various scales) and the posts continued to be feeder and promotional posts though in same Grade Pay. There was marked assumption of duties and responsibilities of greater importance. Such cases were examined with Ministry of Finance and DOP&T and consequently, as agreed, promotional benefit was extended to certain categories vide Board’s letter No.PC-VI/2011/IC/1 dated
12.9.2013 (copy enclosed).
3. Now there are demands from the Federations for grant of benefit to certain other situations viz;
S.No
Feeder Category
Promotional Categories
Revised Pay structure(Pay Band, Grade Pay)
(i)
Track  Maintainers-IV
Key man
PB-1 GP Rs.1800
(ii)
Peon
Record Sorter/  Gastetner Operator
PB-1 GP Rs.1800
(iii)
Sr.ALP works under Loco  Pilot
Loco Pilot (Shunting)  Works Independently
PB-1   GP Rs.2400
(iv)
Commercial   Clerk
Enquiry-cum-Reservation Clerk
PB-1   GP Rs.2800
(v)
Sr. Goods  Guard
Passenger  Guard
PB-2 GP Rs.4200
(vi)
Sr. Loco  Pilot  (Shunting)
Loco  Pilot (Goods)
PB-2 GP Rs.4200
(vii)
Station   Master
Section Controller
PB-2 GP Rs.4200
4. The issue has been examined and it has been observed item wise as under:
Item No.(i) Track Man to Key Man
Item No.(ii) Peon to Record Sorter
Consequent to the implementation of 6th CPCs recommendations, the pre-revised scales of Rs. 2550-3200, Rs. 2610-3540, Rs. 2650-4000 and 2750-4400 in respect of Group ‘D’ posts have been replaced by Revised Pay structure of Pay Band PB I and Grade pay Rs. 1800 and the functions etc of the posts are deemed to have merged. The situation is common to all the erstwhile Group ‘D’ categories. Accordingly the question of fixation of pay under Rule 13 of Revised pay rules does not arise in these specific situations.
Further based on the report of the Committee set· up by Board, the category of Track Man/ Keymen etc is now being operated in four Grade unified structure and in such a pay structure benefit is already available on promotion from one Grade Pay to another and there is no issue of non admissibility of fixation of pay under Rule 13 of RS(RP) Rules 2008. (Reference: Board’s letter No 2010/CE-l(Spl)/GNS/15{Pt) dated 17/08/2012) copy enclosed.
Item No. (iii) Sr. ALP to Loco Pilot (Shunting)
Item No. ( v) Sr. Goods Guard to Passenger Guard
Item No. (vi) Sr. Loco Pilot(Shunting) to Loco Pilot (Goods)
In respect of above situations of promotions in the identical scale of pay, consequent to consultation with Ministry of Finance a detailed clarification has been issued to zonal Railways vide Board’s letter No. PCVI/2011/IC/l dated 22/05/2014 (copy enclosed) explaining the detailed background, leading to admissibility of promotional pay fixation and the methodology adopted for fixation of pay on promotion to identical grade pay in different situations, in terms of Board’s letter No.PC-Vl/2011/IC/1 dated 22/05/2014.
Item No.( iv): Commercial Clerk to Enquiry cum Reservation Clerk
Item No. (vii) Station Master to Section Controller.
The above situations are result of lateral movement of employees from one cadre to another on their own volition based on the option furnished by them and not the cases of promotion in their normal hierarchy. As per norms being followed, such situations are not being considered for extension of benefit of fixation of pay under Rule 3 of RS(RP) Rules 2008.
5. Keeping in view above position it is not feasible to agree to the demand.
Encl: As above.
Yours Faithfully
For Secretary/Railway Board
