Increment: RBE No.202/1987 – RS (RP) Rules, 1986

No.PC-IV/87/Increment/2, dated 03.08.1987

Sub: Grant of next Increment under RS (RP) Rules, 1986 in case of Railway servants who reached the maximum of the existing scale during 1985.

Under Rule 8 of the Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1986, the next increment of the Railway servant, whose pay has been fixed in the revised scale under Rule 7(1) of the said Rules, shall be granted on the date he would have drawn his increment, had he continued in the existing scale unless he is covered by the proviso of these rules or notes thereunder. A question has been raised as to what should be the date of next increment in the revised pay scale in case of a Railway servant who reached the maximum of the existing pay scale during 1985. The President has been pleased to decide that:

(i) In cases where the Railway servants reached the maximum of the pre-revised scale (having annual increments) after 01.01.1985, the next increment in the revised scale shall be granted on the completion of service for the full incremental period for increment as prescribed under Rule 2022 (FR 26) – R.II from the date on which he reached the maximum of the existing scale.

(ii) In cases where the Railway servants drawing pay in the existing pay scale, having biennial increment, reached the maximum of revised scale after 01.01.1985, the next increment in the revised scale shall be admissible on completion of service for the full incremental period for increment as prescribed under Rule 2022 (FR 26) – R.II    from the date of election of revised scale of pay.
