However, if the amount so arrived at after adding the increment in lower Level is less than the minimum pay or the first Cell in the higher Level, the pay shall be fixed at minimum pay or first Cell of the higher Level.
(ii) Where the appointment is to a post involving identical Level, the individual shall continue to draw the same pay.
(b) Where the State Government has revised the Pay scales/Grade Pays of their employees after 1.1.2016 beyond the base index of 261.41 as per AICPI (IW) 2001 series, the basic pay of the employee is to be determined first in the Central Pay Matrix by reducing the element of DA, ADA, IR etc. granted by the State Government after 1.1.2016 beyond the base index of 261.41 as per AICPI (IW) 2001 series and thereafter the pay would be fixed as provided in the clauses (i) and (ii) under sub-para (a) above.
(c) Where the State Government has either not revised or revised the pay scale of their employees on or after 11.2016 below the base index of 261.41 as per AICPL (IW) 2001 series, the basic pay of these employees shall be determined first in the Central Pay Matrix, by adding the element of DA, ADA upto the base index of 261.41 as per AICPI (W) 2001 series, granted by the state Government and thereafter their pay would be fixed as provided in the clause (i) and (ii) under sub-para (a) above.
