..................................................................................................
..................................................................................................

The existing time span of 8, 15, 22 years for allowing Time Bound Higher Grade  (TBHG) promotion will continue. The existing time span of 27 years for accruing 4th  TBHG will continue and this grade is limited to employees coming under the scales of  pay ranging from 16500-35700 to 19000-43600. Revised rules for allowing TBHG  promotions are incorporated in Annexure III.  The date of effect of the same will be  01/02/2016.

But on becoming eligible for Higher Grade Promotion in the post of Headmaster, the notional Senior Grade/Selection Grade enjoyed by them based on the  length of service as teacher had they continued as teacher need not be reviewed.
........................................................................................................
 (2)  High School Assistants will be allowed higher grade promotions as High  School Assistant (Higher Grade), High School Assistant (Senior Grade) and  High  School Assistant (Selection Grade) in the scales of pay of Rs. 32300-68700,  Rs.35700-75600 and Rs.36600-79200 respectively on completion of 7, 15 and 22  years of service.
......................................................................................................

 Employees who remain in their entry posts in the scales of pay ranging from Rs.
16500-35700 to Rs. 19000-43600 will be granted four higher grades on completion of
the following specified periods of service in their posts

(1) The first Time Bound Higher Grade on completion of eight years of

(2) The second Time Bound Higher Grade on completion of 15 years of
service in the entry post and the first regular promotion post/time bound
higher grade taken together.

(3) The third Time Bound Higher Grade on completion of 22 years of total

:
TABLE - I
Revised scale    1stTBHG           2ndTBHG           3rdTBHG             4thTBHG
16500-35700  17000-37500  17500-39500  19000-43600  20000-45800
17000-37500  17500-39500  18000-41500  19000-43600  20000-45800
17500-39500  18000-41500  19000-43600  20000-45800  22200-48000
18000-41500  19000-43600  22200-48000  26500-56700  27800-59400


If there is a regular promotion post (including ratio promotion post) in respect of
the categories of posts (entry) coming under pay range from Rs.16500-35700 to
Rs.32300-68700 and its scale of pay is higher than the Time Bound Higher Grade
proposed above, then the qualified incumbent will be given the scale of pay of the
regular promotion post in the direct line of promotion as Time Bound Higher Grade
scale. (While assigning higher grade, only qualified hands eligible for regular
promotion will get the scales of pay of regular promotion posts). In cases where there
exist no such immediate regular promotion post under common category in a
department, the scale of pay of immediate regular promotion post as shown in the
schedule of posts under common category as per Special Rules alone will be
admissible as grade scale (ie. in case where there are only Junior Superintendent post
and no intermediary post of Head Clerk in a department, a UD Clerk will be eligible
for higher grade in the scale of pay of Head Clerk only). Unqualified hands will be
allowed the next higher scale of pay above that of the scale of pay of the post held at
that time, in the standard scales of pay .

..............................................................................
If the scale of pay of the regular promotion post is lower than the Time Bound
Higher Grade proposed in the Table, the scale of pay of Time Bound Higher Grade
specified above will be given on completion of prescribed years of qualifying service
by reckoning the total service in both the lower post and promotion post taken
together. In such cases the fixation under Rule 30, Part I KSR will be admissible and
the next increment will be allowed on the normal increment date in the earlier
promoted post.
..............................................................................
In all cases of regular promotions from Time Bound Higher Grades to post
(equivalent to that of the grade post) carrying the same or higher time scale of pay, the
pay in the promoted scale will be fixed in terms of Rule 30,Part I KSR. The next
increment in the same or higher scale will fall due on the date of increment in the
Time Bound Higher Grade post. This is applicable only to an officer promoted from
Time Bound Higher Grade to the equivalent regular promotion post on the same or
higher scale of pay which is in the regular line of promotion of the post held by him.
In the case of an officer promoted or appointed 'by transfer' to a post which is not
equivalent to the Time Bound Higher Grade enjoyed by him and carries lower, same
or higher scale of pay, fixation of pay will be made under the appropriate rules of
fixation of pay in KSRs.
..............................................................................

In respect of categories of post coming under the pay scale ranging from Rs.35700-
75600 to 40500-85000 the Time Bound Higher Grade will be as specified in Table II.
Scales of pay of regular promotion post will not be given in these cases. This is
applicable in the case of employee enjoying scale of pay 35700-75600 and above
whether by regular promotion or by Time Bound Higher Grade.

..............................................................................

In the case of an employee enjoying the Time Bound Higher Grade Promotion in
the pre-revised grade scale his revision shall be done only in the eligible Time Bound
Higher Grade scale. Corresponding revised scale of pre-revised grade scale (as per
Annexure I) will not be allowed in such case.

..............................................................................
In the case of Time Bound Higher Grade promotion the pay in the higher time scale will be fixed in terms of Rule 28 A Part I KSR i.e. one notional increment will be given and thereafter the pay in the higher grade scale will be fixed at the next stage above the pay in the lower time scale, arrived after adding notional increment, as on the date of the higher grade promotion. However, he will draw his next increment in the grade scale on the date he would have drawn his normal increment in the lower scale. But in the case of an officer who got the benefit of more than two increments on account of fixation of pay on sanction of higher grade, he will draw his next increment on completion of one year service in the grade scale. The existing option facility for Time Bound Higher Grade Promotion is withdrawn with effect from 01/02/2016. Thefixation on Time Bound Higher Grade Promotion shall be done on the due date itself.The revised fixation rule will be made applicable for Time Bound Higher Grade promotion due on or after 01/02/2016.

..............................................................................


Non-teaching staff in Aided Schools, Private Colleges and Polytechnics who
come under the scheme of direct payment of salary by Government are also eligible
for Time Bound Higher Grade promotion subject to the above conditions. The existing
benefit of third Time Bound Higher Grade in the scale of pay of Junior Superintendent
allowed to LD Clerk in Aided School will continue.

..............................................................................
The service rendered in the entry post and reckoned for normal increments will be
treated as the qualifying service for granting Time Bound Higher Grades in that post.


..............................................................................
The term ‘entry post’ shall be defined as the post to which an employee is initially
appointed in Government service by direct recruitment by the competent authority.
Appointments made by PSC, “by transfer” from other categories will also be treated
as equivalent to direct recruitment for allowing the benefit of Time Bound Higher
Grade. An employee who has been initially appointed in a post in one department gets
appointment subsequently by direct recruitment (PSC) or by other means in another
post in the same /other department, his entry post will be the newly appointed post, in
such cases Time Bound Higher Grade Promotion will be granted based on the new
entry post only. Service in different posts having same scale will not be treated as
qualifying service. Similarly in the case of employees who get inter departmental
transfer (interdepartmental transferees), their prior service in the entry post in the
former department will also be reckoned as qualifying service for time bound higher
grade. Those who get regular promotion or appointment to higher posts within the
period specified for each Time Bound Higher Grade will not be granted further Time
Bound Higher Grade during that period.

..............................................................................
All promotions in the regular line of promotion from Subordinate Service to State
Service (e.g. promotion as Senior Superintendent from Junior Superintendent, Section
Officer from Assistant Section Officer, Assistant Engineer from First Grade Overseer
etc ) are also termed as 'by transfer' appointment. However, further Time Bound
Higher Grade promotion will not be granted by reckoning the service in the
promoted posts(Senior Superintendent, Section Officer, Assistant Engineer etc) taken
as entry post on analogy with by transfer appointment i.e. promotion to a post in the
direct line of promotion in a Department made on the basis of select list prepared by
the Departmental Promotion Committee, will not be treated as direct recruitment for
allowing the benefit of Time Bound Higher Grade. All appointment 'by transfer'
except the promotions/appointments from Subordinate Service to State Service as
mentioned above will be treated as equivalent to direct recruitment for sanctioning
Time Bound Higher Grade.
..............................................................................

Those who relinquish regular promotion, whether permanently or for specified
periods , will not be given the benefit of Time Bound Higher Grade promotions.
Similarly, an employee who got the benefit of Time Bound Higher Grade promotion
will on no account be permitted to relinquish regular promotion to that grade either
permanently or for specified periods.

..............................................................................
The employees in the entry scales of pay of Rs.17000-37500 and Rs.17500-39500
will be eligible for reckoning their last grade service also for allowing 22 years third
Time Bound Higher Grade. This benefit will not be allowed to first, second and fourth
Time Bound Higher Grades. The employees in the posts having the revised entry scale
of Rs. 18000 - 41500 and above are also not eligible for this benefit.

..............................................................................

Military service which counts for civil pension of Ex-servicemen will be reckoned
as qualifying service for allowing first higher grade. However, on the basis of
Judgement dated 25.3.15 of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Civil Appeal No.
3136/15 and other connected Civil Appeals, Government have issued
GO(P)No.408/15/Fin dated 14.9.2015, in which it has been clarified that the exservicemen who were under War/Military service got appointment in the State Civil
Service in Gazetted and Non-Gazetted posts are eligible to get the benefit of first Time
Bound Higher Grade counting the War/Military service without refunding their
mustering out benefits. The Civilian service under Military will not be counted for
granting higher grade. The State Government employees who are in service on
14.9.2015 (date of order) and who joined State Government Service after 14.9.2015
are eligible to get the benefits in GO(P)No.408/15/Fin dated 14.9.2015. As per the
said Government Order, a State Government employee having 10/8 or more years of
War/Military service prior to the date of joining in Government Service, as the case
may be, are eligible to get first Time Bound Higher Grade on the date of joining in
Government service itself in the next higher scale above the scale of pay of the entry
post in the list of standard scales , with KSRs Part I Rule 28 A fixation
benefit. The scale of pay of regular promotion post / table scale will be admissible
with KSRs Part I Rule 30 fixation benefit only after the declaration of satisfactory
completion of probation and on acquiring qualifications of regular promotion posts as
the case may be. Ex-servicemen, enjoying protection of pay will not be allowed this
benefit, and in that case service under State Government alone will be reckoned as
qualifying service.
..............................................................................


All other existing general terms and conditions governing grant of Time Bound
Higher Grade Promotions will continue subject to the modifications issued by

Government from time to time.
..............................................................................



.............................................................................................................................................................
In the case of teachers who resign from an aided school to join service in another aided school, the service will counted for sanctioning higher scales of pay on the condition that the service should be approved and continuous and there should not be a break of more than a month between leaving the service from one aided school and joining service in another aided school. the controlling officers should satisfy that the resignation was to join another school and not for any other purpose.
