“Provided that a member of service, who has not filed the IPR for any of the year prior to coming into force of the Indian Administrative Service (Pay), Amendment, Rules, 2021, shall file the same within such period, as may be laid down by the Central Government in this behalf, for being considered for appointment in the next level of pay in the pay matrix. ”.
