 2.INCREMENT

 All duty in a post on a time-scale counts for increments in that time scale{KSR Rule 33 (a ).

On the basis of decision taken in the light of the judgment in WP© 16674/04 Dt: 09.06.04,the pre-revised scale and the corresponding revised scale are treated as identical if other conditions are satisfied. Hence govt have taken a decision that change in the scale of pay due to intervention of pay revision will not be taken in to account. (Govt. Lr.No.179/rules A3/10/fin DT: 15.03.2010)

An increment shall be granted from the first day of the month in which it falls due

GD No.1 KSR Rule 31.

Increment accruing consequent on declaration of probation shall be drawn only w.e.f the date of completion of probation but subsequent shall be drawn on the first day of the month in which they fall due. GD No.2 KSR Rule 31. But in the case of postponement of increment due to availing of LWA without MC, the increment can be sanctioned only from the due date instead of first of the month vide Govt.Lr No.83870/R4/98/fin dt:21.10.1998. മേൽ സർക്കാർ കത്ത് പ്രകാരം KSR ൽ ഭേദഗതി വരുത്താത്തതിനാൽ ഇൻക്രിമെന്റ് ശൂന്യവേതനാവധി ഒഴിവാക്കി 1 വർഷ സേവനം പൂർത്തിയാവുന്ന മാസത്തിന്റെ ആദ്യ ദിനം മുതൽ നൽകാമെന്ന് ഇൻഫർ 2/12/2017/ധന തി ..28/4/2017 നമ്പ്ര് കത്ത് പ്രകാരം  സർക്കാർ സ്പഷ്ടീകരണം നൽകിയിട്ടുണ്ട്.

Govt. servant thrown out of service for want of vacancy and again reappointed after a break in the same post or in another post carrying the same scale time scale of pay count his prior service for purposes of increment under rule 33(a) read with rule 12(35) (b) Circular No.32532/RAI/61/fin dt:12.01.1962).

As per Rule 33(b)(2), LWA availed by teachers for completion of training courses such as B. Ed, Hindi  Teachers training, LTT and TTC counts for increment. But the above provision stands omitted vide GO (P)217 /2005/Fin Dt:11.05.2005,w.e.f 24.05.05.At the same time, those  who have entered on the leave before 24.05.05 will be eligible to count the period of LWA as qualifying for increment(GO(P) 69/10/G. Edn Dt:28.04.2010)

Note: LWA for B.Ed,TTC,LTT course as per APPENDIX X11 B will not be count for increment even if it is before 24.05.2005.

•   KER chapter 14 Rule 61(4):"All duty in a post on a time scale whether continuous or interrupted shall counts for increment in that time scale".
• "leave vacancy service will count for increment and weightage":  judgement dt: 02.06.2005 in WP(c)11957/2005...GO(Rt)5348/05/G.Edn Dt:05/11/2005...judgement dt:30/06/2014 in WP(c)15906/2013{2014(4) KLT 349}.circular No.06/J2/95/G.EDN DT:05/10/95  .Circular No.44060/J2/2011 DT: 26/09/2012.Govt lr.No.75389/Estt.C1/09/Fin Dt:04/09/2010..Govt.Lr No.59328/PRC-C3/2011/Fin Dt:22/10/2011.     
• An Officer shall not be eligible to draw his first increment until he subscribes to the State Life Insurance Scheme.

 STAGNATION INCREMENT

This is the increment sanctioned to employees who reach the maximum of their scale of pay and become ineligible for any increment in their existing scales of pay .only three stagnation increments are granted-the first two annual and the last biennial(1,2,4 year).the maximum of such increments shall not go above 18300 in 97 pay revision and 33100 in 04 pay revision.[ 97,04 PAY REVISION].

In 2009 pay revision, the scheme of stagnation increment will be modified to the effect that the maximum number of such increments will be five; the first four increments being annual and the fifth and the last as biennial subjected to maximum BP shall not exceed 59840/-(1,2,3,4 6 yrs)

2014 pay revision :maximum number of stagnation increments will be five; the first four increments being annual and the fifth and the last as biennial subjected to maximum BP shall not exceed 1,20,000/-/-(1,2,3,4 6 yrs)

 PAY REVISION

a.“ An employee can exercise option to come over to the revised scale of pay with effect from,01.07.2004 or  01.07.2009 or with from any subsequent date that he opts, provided that such date shall not be beyond the date of his next promotion or one year from the date of Pay revision Order ,whichever is earlier

    b. Broken periods of service qualifying for increments will be reckoned for     service    weight age. That is, if the period is qualifying for increment, it can be counted for           service weight age even if it is not reckoned for increment.

(Govt clarification to DDE,KKD: Lr.No. 59328/PRC/C3/2011/FIN   Dt:22.10.2011).

         

c. If the amount calculated (BP+DA+SERVICE WEIGHTAGE+FITMENT) is  more than the the maximum of the revised scale, the revised pay shall be fixed at the maximum, the difference being treated as PP,which will not be absorbed in future increase in pay on account of granting increments .

d. Aided School service in Govt and vice versa will be reckoned for weight age(2009& 2014 pay revision).

(in 1997,2004 pay revision Govt service in Aided school and vice versa will not be reckoned for service weight age).

e. An employee whose increment is withheld for want of declaration of probation on 01.07.2009 or on the date of change over to the new scale will also be allowed the benefit of fixation of pay, notionally counting the increment accrued but withheld. but the next increment  after such fixation will be allowed  only after he is declared to have satisfactorily completed his probation and the period of approved service required to earn an increment.(2009 pay revision)

 An employee whose increment is withheld for want of declaration of probation on 01.07.2014  will  be allowed the benefit of fixation of pay on the basis of pay actually drawn as on 01/07/2014 and he will continue on that pay till the date of declaration of probation.However,the period during which increment is withheld will not be reckoned for computation of service weightage.The pay so fixed will be revised on declaration of probation,notionally counting the increment accrued but withheld.The period during which increment was withheld will also be counted for service weightage now.Monetary benefit of revised fixation will be admissible only from the effective date of declaration of probation.He will draw his next increment on the normal rate.(2014 PAY REVISION)

f. If an officer earns increment earlier than or after the original option date on which he was supposed to get it at the time of exercise of option under the above rule due to revision of date of increment, his pay should automatically be refixed w.e.f the revised date of increment with reference to the original option exercised by him under this rule and there will be no need for exercising a fresh option and issue of special orders for this.(GO(P)364/67/fin dt:14.08.1967)

    Ruling No.KSR Rule 30

Clarification:

Circular No.24/96(89)/fin Dt: 13.05.1996

“The Accountant General in his letter cited has pointed out that in many cases the date of next increment as calculated by the departments was incorrect due to the non-exclusion of the periods of LWA availed otherwise on MC. when such instances, where postponement of increment affected fixation of pay in pay revisions, were pointed out, the department takes recourse to ruling (1) under rule 30 Part 1 KSR.i.e the date of effect of  original option is changed to a later date on the plea that the above rule permits re option”

“Under the circumstances Govt wish to clarify that re option for pay revision do not come under Ruling (1) under Rule 30 part 1 KSR and option exercised on revision of pay can be altered only on the basis of a valid re option exercised by the employee concerned and that the re option should also satisfy conditions prescribed in various Govt. orders which permitted exercise of re option”

(KPPHA page 1032).

g. even though the category of teachers are getting periodical increments in the scale of pay admissible to them, their service(part time) has not been reckoned for weight age during past  pay revisions.  Hence the service as part time teachers under General education Department will not be treated as service for allowing weight age while changing over to revised scale of pay  for pay revision 2004.(Lr.No.62860/J2/07/G.Edn dt:19.08.09)

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.

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.
