D/o Personnel & Training
Establishment (Pay-I) Section
Vide the U.0. dated the 14th December, 2009, D/o Expenditure had allowed fixation of pay with reference to the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.7450-11500 to those promoted as Assistants / PAs between 1.1.2006 to 31.8.2008. They were, however, not allowed arrears from 1.1.2006 till the date of their promotion, as they had come over to the revised pay on the date of their promotion.
2. Seniors to such promotee Assistants / PAs, however, were subsequently allowed stepping up of their pay with reference to these officials. Such senior officials were also not allowed arrears on the ground that the officials with reference to whom they had got their pay stepped up were also not entitled toso.
3. The issue has been reconsidered in consultation with D/o Expenditure as this amounts to compelling the senior official, who was already serving as Assistant /PA prior to 1.1.2006 and opted for fixation of his pay under revised pay rules from 1.1.2006, to opt for revised pay structure from the date of stepping up with the junior.
4. It is, therefore, clarified that the senior is entitled to arrears of pay from the date he opted to come over to the Revised Pay Scales till the date of stepping up of pay. These will be paid on the basis of pay actually fixed as on 1. 1.2006.
5. The CS Divisions are, therefore, advised to issue a clarification in respect of similarly placed persons in CSS / CSSS.
