U.S. Pandey says
There is no direct option for switching month of increment from July to January. It would happen only if you get promotion/financial upgradation between Jan to May but after switching to revised pay structure of 7th CPC w.e.f.1.1.2016.
U.S. Pandey says
As per the CCS(RP) Rules 2016, in case of opting for revised pay structure of 7th CPC w.e.f.01.01.2016, the next increment will be on 01.07.2016. In case of promotion/upgradation between Jan to May only, increment can be switched to January of ensuing year. From this, it implies that in case of promotion/upgradation, no increment will be available on 01.01.2016 even if one has completed six months since then.
All concerned shall represent against this so that cases can be taken up with M/o Finance, Deptt. of Expenditure to allow increment on 1.1.2016 where a person has already completed 06 months after last increment in the pre-revised pay structure.

rahul says
my detail-
basic+gp 10840 on 01-jan-2016 and 11170 on 01-07-2016 according to 6 cpc (Gp 2400).
so is it beneficial to choose revise pay form next increment date i.e. 01-july-2016.
if i choose revise pay from next Increment date ( 1-july-2016) in Normal Conditions then what will next increment date 01-jan-2017 or 01-july-2017.
