Subject: Applicability of minimum pay/stepping up of pay - clarification reg.
A reference has been received from one of the Railways mentioning a case where an employee working as Accounts Clerk was promoted as Junior Accounts Assistant (GP Rs. 2800) after 01.01.2006 and his pay was fixed as per Rule 13 of Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 by adding 3% of Basic Pay and Grade Pay On a subsequent date another employee (Junior to him) was appointed as Junior Accounts Assistant (GP Rs. 2800) through Direct Recruitment and his pay was fixed under Section II of Part-A of First Schedule of Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 which happened to be more than that of the above senior. A doubt has been raised whether stepping up of pay may be allowed in such cases to the senior employee who got promoted as Jr. Accounts Assistants (GP Rs. 2800) after 01.01.2006
