Sub: Fixation of pay in revised scale on promotion prior to 01.01.1996.
1. Reference this Ministry’s letter of even number, dated 31.12.1987 on the above subject which provides that when a Railway employee is promoted to the next higher grade or post, where pay has to be fixed under the provisions of 2018-B R.II [FR 22(C)], he may be given an option for fixation of his way on promotion as indicated therein. The said orders are applicable with effect from 01.01.1986.
2. The Staff Side in the National Council (JCM) have made the following suggestions for consideration by the National Anomaly Committee.
(i) Government servants promoted before 01.01.1986 should be given another opportunity to give fresh option to get their pay fixed in the promoted post, in view of the introduction of the revised pay scales with effect from 01.01.1986.
(ii) The benefits contained in Ministry of Railway’s letter of even number, dated 31.12.1987 should also be extended to those for whom the date of next increment in the lower post falls on 01.01.1986.
3. The matter has been considered in the National Assembly Committee and it has been decided that the employees promoted after 01.01.1985 but before 01.01.1986 and whose date of next increment in the lower posts falls on or after 01.01.1986, may be allowed another option to get their pay fixed in the promoted post under 2018-B R.II [FR 22(C)], either from the date of promotion or date of next increment in the lower post falling on or after 01.01.1986.
4. It has also been decided to extend the provisions of para 2 of Ministry of Railway’s letter of even number, dated 31.12.1987, to persons whose date of next increment in the lower post falls on 11.01.1986.
5. All other existing conditions regarding exercise of option for such pay fixation will, however, continue to be applicable.
6. Option in terms of para 3 above shall be exercised within three months of the date of issue of these orders. Option once exercised shall be final.
7. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
