Date of Next Increment after completing 6 months period – 180 days – NFPE Clarification

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF POSTAL EMPLOYEES
1st Floor North Avenue Post Office Building, New Delhi-110 001

NO PF-68-113/CDS (RP) Rules 2016

Dated – 11.11.2020

The Secretary Department of Posts Dale Bhawan, New Delhi —110001

Sub :- Date of next Increment under Pule 10 of CCS (RP) Pules 2016- Clarification regarding.

Ref : – Directorate letter No. 2-16/2017-PAP dated 02.12.2019 & MOF OM NO 0-21/2017-1CA-111A dated 20.11.2010.

Sir

As per above cited office memos, the first increment in the level applicable to the post on which promotion is made shall accrue on the following 1st July or 1st January, as the case may be, provided a period of 6 months qualifying service is strictly fulfilled. The next increment thereafter shall, however, accrue only after completion of one year.

According to the above order, 6 months of qualifying period can be counted as 180 days instead of 6 calendar months. If it is counted as 6 calendar months, the official will have to lose one increment as there is one day non qualifying period during 6 months. Thereby the official will have to bear huge financial loss till We date of retirement and after retirement in pension. Therefore 6 months qualifying period may be counted as 180 days.

It has been brought to our notice regarding non grant of one increment after completing 6 months period i.e. 180 days from 2nd July to 1st January (both inclusive) on 1st January or 2nd January to 1st July (both inclusive) on 1st July on financial upgradation under MACPS/regular promotion due to non qualifying service of one day during this period but they have completed 180 days (i.e. Six months) qualifying service. Therefore, the officials will lose huge amount of pay and allowances due to misinterpretation of the above order at the time of allotting next increment after completing 6 month qualifying service i.e. 180 days. But qualifying service for next increment is calculated by subtracting We number of non qualifying days and remaining days are converted into months while 30 days are treated as one month.

In so many cases, months are counted in number of days like at the time of implementation of order of adhoc/officiating promotion i.e. 4 months or 11 months, CCL-730 days, maternity leave -180 days and split period counted for increment. On the same basis, 6 months period of qualifying period may be counted as 180 days for increment purpose also.

It is therefore requested to kindly cause suitable instructions in this regard so that the problem may be solved and officials may not suffer because of only one day non-qualifying service.

With regards,

Yours sincerely,
(R.N. Parashar)

Earlier due to difficulties faced by the pensioners in submitting the Life Certificate because of Covid-19 pandemic , the Government has relaxed the existing timeline for submission of Life Certificate from 1st November, 2020 to 31st December 2020, MoS said.

Addressing an interactive session of Bhrahma Kumari Sister Shivani, on “Power of Thoughts and Meditation in Covid-19 pandemic” organized by DoPPW here today, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that the Pensioners as senior citizens being the most vulnerable group in the wake of the Covid 19 pandemic, need a helping hand and compassionate ears in addition to medical care and such programmes will help them to tackle their mental stress level thus protecting them from physical illness as well.

Earlier addressing the programme, Bhrahma Kumari Sister Shivani call for keeping oneself energized with positive thoughts in this period of Covid-19 pandemic and make the others energized like a well lit Diya giving energy to the other Diyas. Through their sanskars, they can take care of not only their own emotional well being but also contribute to emotional strength of everyone else in home and in society as they are the givers of unconditional emotional support, stability, hope and love to all younger members of their family and society at large, she added.

Dr Kshatrapati Shivaji, Secretary (Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare ) and Shri Sanjiv Narain Mathur Joint Secretary (Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare) along with other senior officials and office bearers of the Pensioners’ Associations were present in this online event.

Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
Department of Personnel & Training

Dated: 5th November, 2020

To
The Chief Secretary,
All the States / Union Territories.

Subject: Bunching of Pay consequent upon pay fixation in promotional grades of junior officers- reg.

Sir,

I am directed to refer to references being received from the various Ministries / Departments of Central Government and from the State Governments, on the above-mentioned Subject and to say that Rule 4 (A) (ii) (a) &(b) of AS (Pay) Rules, 2016 state that:

“(a) where, in the fixation of pay, the pay of members of the Service drawing pay at two or more stages in pre-revised Pay Band and Grade Pay or scale, as the case may be, get fixed at same Cell in the applicable Level the Pay Matrix, one additional increment Shall be given for every two stages bunched and the pay of member of Service drawing higher pay in pre-revised structure shall be fixed at the next vertical Cell in the applicable Level.

(b) For this purpose, pay drawn by two members of the Service in a given pay Band and Grade Pay or scale where the higher pay is at least 3% more than the lower pay Shall constitute two stages. Officers drawing pay where the difference is less than 3% shall not be entitled for this benefit.”

2. Accordingly, it is stated that the bunching benefits are granted to an officer when his/her pay arrives equal to his/her junior due to revision of pay as per the new Pay Commission and not in the case when the junior gets equal pay due to promotion to next promotional grade. Hence. the bunching benefits do not apply to the cases where the junior officer is drawing equal pay to that of his/her senior due to pay fixation in the promotional grade. However, a comparative chart worked out for indicating instances, wherein junior officer gets equal to that of his senior and senior office not being eligible for bunching, is enclosed for ready reference.

3. This issues with the approval of the competent authority.
