2. Pay Fixation:- The concerned staff will have their pay fixed in accordance with FR 23 [1317-IREC-Vol-II, (1987 Edition)] and FR 22(I)(a)(2) [Amended Rule – 1313(I)(a)(ii) circulated as ACS No.14 to IREC Vol-II 1987 Edition vide Board’s letter No.F(E)II/89/FR-11, dated 12.12.1991 (RBE No. 198/1991) read with Audit Instructions (I) below FR-22 with the normal option for pay fixation under extant instructions. In other words, the pay of the incumbent would be fixed at a stage in the new time-scale of the post which is equal to his pay in respect of the post held by him on regular basis, or, if there is no such stage, the stage next above his pay in old time-scale of the post held by him on regular basis, provided further that in case where pay is fixed at the same stage, the next increment will be drawn on the date of increment in the old time-scale of the post and in cases where pay is fixed at the highest stage, he shall get his next increment on completion of the period when an increment is earned in the new time-scale of the post. When pay is drawn at the maximum of the old time-scale of the post and there is an equal stage in the time-scale of the new post, Audit Instruction (I) below FR-22 will have to be taken care of while determining next increment in the time-scale of new post.

3. These orders would be effective from the date of issue.
