No.PC-IV/87/FOP/9, dated 13.12.1989

Sub: Stepping up of pay of Class-I Probationers appointed to Class-I Service in the pre-revised scale of pay with reference to their juniors drawing more pay in the revised scales – Regarding.      

Many Group ‘A’ Probationary Officers of different Railway Services who had drawn to advance increments in the pre revised pay scales for passing the Departmental Examinations had represented that their juniors who have drawn similar increments after coming over to the Revised Pay Scales, 1986, are drawing more pay mainly because of bunching, as a result of which probationers drawing pay of Rs.700 as well as Rs.740 in the pre-revised scale of Rs.700-1300 have got fixed at the same stage of Rs.2200. This anomaly has been considered in consultation with the Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) and Department of Personnel and Training and it has been decided that the pay of the Seniors appointed to Group ‘A’ services in the pre-revised scales may be stepped up with regard to pay of their juniors drawing more pay in the revised scale from the date of such anomaly provided the anomaly is directly as the result of Senior having earned advance increments for passing the Departmental Examination before 01.01.1986 and the Junior after 01.01.1986.
