FIXATION OF PAY-.

Rule 22 of FR&SR
Another one is by refixation after the official
earns an increment in his substantive post
under
Rule 22 I(a) (1)of FR&SR
STARIGHT METHOD-
When there is a change in grade pay
One increment equal to 3% of the sum of the
pay in pay band and the existing grade pay will
be calculated and rounded off to the next
multiple of Rs.10/-
This will be added to the existing pay in pay
band .
The grade pay corresponding to the
promotion post will then be added to the pay
band .
Example
A Timescale Postal assistant with following pay
stands promoted to LSG with GP Rs.2,800/-
Pay in Pay Band on the date
of promotion -------------------- Rs.8,000
Grade pay ------------------------ Rs.2,400
Total Rs. 10,400
3% on Rs.10,400/- Rs. 312 rounded off to Rs.320/-.
His pay on promotion will be Rs.8,320+ New grade
pay of Rs.2,800/-
STARIGHT METHOD-
When there is a change in Pay band.
One increment equal to 3% of the sum of the pay in
pay band and the existing grade pay will be calculated
and rounded off to the next multiple of Rs.10/-
This will be added to the existing pay in pay band .
The grade pay corresponding to the promotion post
will then be added to the pay band .
If the pay in the pay band after adding the increment is
less than the minimum of the higher pay band to which
promotion is taking place pay in the pay band will be
raised to the minimum of the higher pay band.
Example
Present pay band 9300-34800 +Grade pay
5400.
Present pay Rs.21820/-+5400.
Promoted to PB 15600-39100 +Grade pay 6600.
3% notional increment on Present pay Rs.21820/-
+5400 = Rs.820.
Add Rs.820 with Rs. 21820/-
New pay Rs.22640/-+GP Rs. 6600./-
New grade pay Rs. 6600./-
New pay band Rs. 15600-39100
REFIXATION ON ACCRUAL OF INCREMENT IN OLD POST
An official opts to get his pay fixed from his date of
next increment.
From the date of promotion to till the date of next
increment the pay in pay band will be the old one
and there will be no change .
But the Grade pay will be the grade pay attached to
the promotional post.
On 01.07. the official will be granted two increments.
One normal increment due on 01.07.and another
one notional for promotion.
REFIXATION AFTER ACCRUAL OF INCREMENT IN OLD POST
While computing the first(normal) increment basic
pay + old grade pay prior to the date promotion shall
be taken in to account.
This will be added to the basic pay
Then the second(notional) increment will be
calculated by taking in to account of basic pay +first
increment + old grade pay
Then this will be added to the basic pay.
With this basic pay new grade pay will be added.
Example
A Timescale Postal assistant with following pay
stands promoted to LSG with GP Rs.2,800/- with
effect from 25.06.2011
Pay in Pay Band on the date
of promotion -------------------- Rs.8,000

Total Rs. 10,400
His pay on promotion from 25.06.2011 up to 30.06.11
will be Rs.8,000 +New GP Rs.2,800/-
On 01.07.2011 his pay will be refixed as follows.
Example -2(contd)
Pay in Pay Band on the date
of promotion -------------------- Rs.8,000
Grade pay ------------------------ Rs.2,400
Total Rs. 10,400
Normal increment due on 01.07.2011
3%on 10,400 = 312 rounded off to Rs.320/-.
Pay after adding normal increment on 01.07.2011 is
Rs.8,320.+2400
Then his pay will be refixed as follows
Example -2(contd)
Pay in Pay Band on 01.07.2011

Old Grade pay ------------------ Rs. 2,400
Total Rs. 10,720

Rs.330/-.(Notional increment)
His pay on promotion will be Rs.8,650+ New
grade pay of Rs.2,800/-
