7. Fixation of pay in the revised pay structure at the time of migration:-

(1) The pay of a Government employee who opts or is deemed to have opted under rule 6 to be governed by the revised pay structure with effect from 1st day of January, 2016 or a different date of migration shall, unless the Government by special order in any specific case otherwise directs, be fixed separately in respect of his substantive pay in the permanent post on which he holds a lien or would have held a lien if such lien had not been suspended, and in respect of his pay in the officiating post held by him, in the following manner, namely:-

(i) the pay in the applicable Level in the Pay Matrix shall be the pay obtained by multiplying the existing basic pay by a factor of 2.57, rounded off to the nearest rupee and the figure so arrived at shall be located in the respective Level in the Pay Matrix and if such an identical figure corresponds to any Cell in the applicable Level of the Pay Matrix, the same shall be the pay, and if no such Cell is available in the applicable Level, the pay shall be fixed at the immediate next higher Cell in that applicable Level of the Pay Matrix. (Illustration-I – See Schedule-V)

(ii) if the minimum pay or the first Cell in the applicable Level is more than the amount arrived at as per sub-clause (i) above, the pay shall be fixed at minimum pay or the first Cell of that applicable Level. (Illustration-II – See Schedule-V)

(2) Where in fixation of pay, the pay of Government employees drawing pay at two or more stages in the existing Pay Band and Grade Pay or scale, as the case may be, get fixed at same Cell in the applicable Level in the Pay Matrix, one additional increment shall be given for every two stages bunched and the pay of Government employee drawing higher pay in existing pay structure shall be fixed at the next vertical Cell in the applicable Level.

Explanation: For this purpose, the pay drawn by two Government employees in a given Pay Band and Grade Pay or scale where the higher pay is at least 3 percent more than the lower pay shall constitute two stages. Employees drawing pay where the difference is less than 3 percent shall not be entitled for this benefit.

(3) If by stepping up of the pay as above, the pay of a Government employee gets fixed at a stage in the revised pay structure which is higher than the stage in the revised pay structure at which the pay of a Government employee who was drawing pay at the next higher stage or stages in the same existing pay structure gets fixed, the pay of the latter shall also be stepped up to the extent by which it falls short of that of the former.

(4) Where in the fixation of pay under sub-rule (1), the pay of a Government employee, who, in the existing pay structure, was drawing immediately before the 1st day of January, 2016 pay greater than another Government employee junior to him in the same cadre, gets fixed in the revised pay structure in a Cell with pay lower than that of such junior, his pay shall be stepped up to the same Cell in the revised pay structure as that of his junior.

(5) If a Government employee was under reduction of pay or stoppage of increment as a penalty on the 1st January 2016, his pay shall be fixed in the revised pay structure on the basis of emoluments he drew on the 1st January 2016 and he shall continue to draw the pay so fixed in the revised scale till the expiry of the period of penalty. His pay in the revised scale shall be refixed immediately following the date of expiry of the period of penalty with reference to the emoluments which he would have drawn on the 1st January, 2016 taking the fact into consideration whether the penalty awarded is with or without cumulative effect.

Illustration: If a Government employee’s increment falling due on the 1st January, 2016 had been postponed for a year without cumulative effect, his actual present emoluments as on the 1st January 2016 would be the basis for determination of his revised pay with effect from the 1st January, 2016 and the pay so fixed shall be in force upto the 31st December 2016. However, for purpose of determination of his pay with effect from 1st January 2017 his pay on the 1st January 2016 shall
be refixed notionally based on the present emoluments which he would have received on the 1st January 2016 but for his penalty and he will get the next increment on the 1st January 2017 from that stage.

If, however, the penalty of stoppage of increment due on the 1st January 2016 had been awarded with cumulative effect, the revised pay shall be fixed based on the actual present emoluments as on the 1st January 2016. There shall be no refixation of pay in this case.

8. Fixation of pay of employees appointed first time in Government by direct recruitment or otherwise on or after 1st day of January, 2016-

Notwithstanding the provisions of rule 6, pay of an employee appointed to Government service for first time by direct recruitment or otherwise on or after 1st January 2016 shall be fixed, with effect from the date of appointment, at the minimum pay or the first Cell in the respective Level applicable to the post to which such employees are appointed:

Provided that where the existing emoluments of such employee is higher than such minimum pay or the first cell, the difference shall be paid as personal pay to be absorbed in subsequent increments in pay.

Explanation 1: “existing emoluments” means the sum of (i) basic pay excluding personal pay/special pay, if any and (ii) dearness allowance on the date of his appointment.

Explanation 2: Personal pay to be absorbed in subsequent increments in pay means that no further increments shall be sanctioned till the increments due become greater than the personal pay, and thereafter, increments due shall be paid and personal pay shall be discontinued.

9. Increments in Pay Matrix-

The increment shall be effected by moving vertically down along the applicable Level by one cell from the existing cell of pay in the pay matrix . (Illustration–III – see Schedule-V).

10. Date of next increment in the revised pay structure-

(i) The Government employees shall be permitted to draw their annual increment in the revised pay structure in four quarters admissible in the existing pay structure as the case may be viz. 1st January, 1st April, 1st July and 1st October.

(ii) The next increment of a Government employee in the revised pay structure shall be granted on the date he would have drawn increment had he continued in the existing pay structure on completion of the required qualifying service of one year.

(iii) If a Government employee draws his next increment in the revised pay scale under sub-rule (ii) above and thereby becomes eligible for higher pay than his senior whose next increment falls due on a later date, then the pay of such senior shall be re-fixed equal to the pay of the junior from the date on which the junior becomes entitled to higher pay.

11. Stagnation and Bonus increment:-

(1) A Government employee drawing pay in the level 24 and above shall on completion of every term of 10 years of service in a particular level without promotion shall be granted one additional increment as stagnation increment on the date of completion of such term.

Provided that periods that such Government employee has worked in posts in the corresponding grade in the existing pay structure or corresponding pay scale prior to introduction of existing pay structure without promotion shall be counted while arriving at the term of service in the particular level.

(2) Government employee completing 30 years of continuous service in the same post shall be granted one additional increment as bonus increment on the date of completion of such period.

(3) Where a Government employee has been drawing maximum permissible pay of the applicable pay band or scale in the existing pay structure for more than two years as on 1st January 2016, he shall be sanctioned one additional increment for every two completed years of stagnation at such maximum permissible pay after fixing pay in the revised pay structure under rule 7, subject to the condition that the pay arrived at after grant of such increment does not exceed the maximum of the applicable level of the Pay Matrix. (Illustration-IV : Schedule-V)

Provided that upon refixing the pay of the senior as above, Fundamental Rule 27 shall apply and the next increment of the senior officer shall become due on completion of the requisite qualifying service with effect from the date of refixation of the pay.

13. Removal of anomalies-

(a) both the junior and the senior Government employees should belong to the same cadre and the posts in which they have been promoted are identical in the same cadre;

(b) the existing pay structure and the revised pay structure of the lower and higher posts in which they are entitled to draw pay are identical;

Illustration I (see Rule 7 (1)(i))

A Junior Assistant is presently drawing a Basic Pay of ₹12,560 in GP
2400 [Pay in the PB ₹10,160 + GP
₹2,400 = ₹12,560]. For Normal Fitment, his/her Basic Pay will first be multiplied by a factor of 2.57 and then rounded-off to the nearest Rupee i.e. 12560 x 2.57 =
32,279.20, which will be rounded-off to
₹32,279. He/She will then be placed in the Pay Matrix in the Level corresponding to GP 2400 (Level-8 in this case) in a cell either equal to or next higher to ₹32,279.

Accordingly, his/her salary will be fixed at ₹33,200 as shown below:

1.	Existing Pay Band : PB-1
2.	Existing Grade Pay : ` 2400
3.	Existing Pay in PB : ` 10,160
4.	Existing Basic Pay : ` 12,560 (A)
5.	Pay after multiplication by : ` 32,279.20 a fitment factor of 2.57 : (rounded off to 12560 x 2.57 = 32279)
6.	Level corresponding to : Level 8 GP 2400

Illustration-II (see Rule 7 (1)(ii))

An Additional Director is presently drawing a Basic Pay of ₹53,590 (Pay in the Pay Band ₹44790 + Grade Pay ₹8800 = ₹53590). After multiplying
₹53,590 with 2.57, a figure of
₹1,37,726.30 is arrived at. This is rounded off to ₹1,37,726.The level corresponding to GP 8800 is Level 29, as may be seen from Table, which gives the full correspondence between existing Grade Pay and the new Levels being proposed.

In the column for Level 29, the figure equal to or higher than ₹1,37,726 is
₹1,38,800.

Hence the pay of Additional Director will be fixed at ₹1,38,800 in level 29 in the new pay matrix as shown below:

1.	Existing Pay Band : PB-4
2.	Existing Grade Pay : ` 8800
3.	Existing Pay in PB : ` 44,790

Example-1: A Junior Assistant, who, after having been fixed in the Pay Matrix, is drawing a Basic Pay of ₹32,200 in Level
8. When he gets an annual increment on 1st of July, he will just move one stage down in the same Level. Hence, after increment, the pay will be
₹33,200.Example-2: An employee in the
Basic Pay of ₹28,500 in Level
10 will move vertically down the same Level in the cells and
on grant of increment, his Basic
Pay will be ₹29,400.

Example-3: An employee in the
Basic Pay of ₹55,200 in Level
11 will move vertically down the same Level in the cells and
on grant of increment, his Basic
Pay will be ₹56,900.
