ORDER

   As per Rule 7(2) of the Rules for Fixation of Pay in Annex - II of the Government Orders read above, if an employee wishes to opt the revised scale of pay of his promoted post ie. the next immediate promotion post assumed on or after 01/07/2009, he will be permitted to opt the revised scale of the promotion post with effect from the date of promotion and his pay in the revised scale will be fixed on the basis of the pay he drew in the pre-revised scale of the promoted post on that date. A doubt has arisen whether the next immediate promotion includes ratio promotion/time bound higher grades also.

   Government have examined the matter in detail and are pleased to order that the next immediate promotion includes ratio promotion/time bound higher grades also. It is also clarified that the government employees and teachers who got time bound higher grade under the pre-revised scheme alone will be allowed to opt the revised scale of pay of the higher grade with effect from the date of effect of higher grade sanctioned between 01/07/2009 to 26/02/2011. In such cases the next increment will be allowed on completion of one year from the date of option to come over to the revised scale.

By order of the Governor,

D.SYAMA

Additional Secretary (Finance).
