OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Advance
Increments granted to Stenographers of Subordinate Offices on qualifying speed test in
shorthand at 100/120 w.p.m. regarding.
The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s 0M
No.18/44/88-Pay-I dated 07.12.2009 on the above subject which provides that the
Advance Increments granted to Stenographers of Subordinate Offices on
qualifying speed test in shorthand at 100/120 w.p.m. are treated as pay
for all purposes.
2. Consequent upon implementation of CCS
(RP) Rules 2008, the concept of Pay Band& Grade Pay has been introduced.
Since there are no fixed rates of
increments now, the manner in which advance increment(s) are to be computed has
been considered in consultation with the Department of Expenditure. The grant
of advance increments to Stenographers of Subordinate Offices on qualifying the speed test in shorthand at 100/120 w.p.m. after 1.1.2006 may
be regulated as under:-
a) In
terms of the instructions contained in this Department’s 0M No.18/44/89-Estt
(Pay I) dated 07.12.2009, the advance increments granted to Stenographers of
Subordinate Offices on qualifying Speed
Test in Shorthand at 100/120 w.p.m. in terms of
Department of Expenditure OM dated 04.10.1975 are to be treated as pay for all
purposes and the past cases are also to be regulated accordingly. These advance
increments were therefore to be taken into account for fixation ¡n the Revised Pay
for those officials who were in receipt of such increments in the pre revised pay. In such cases, the advance
increments will no longer continue as a separate element.
b) In
respect of persons who become eligible for grant of advance increments
consequent upon implementation of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, the advance increment
may be calculated by granting increment @ 3% of the Basic Pay on the date of
passing of the test. Two advance increments may be calculated by granting two
increments @ 3% of the Basic Pay on the date of passing the test. The amount of
this increment may be treated as a separate element in addition to the Basic
Pay (Pay in the Pay Band + Grade Pay), till such advance increments are taken
into account as per (c).
c) Once
the advance increments are taken into account for the purpose of pay fixation
on promotion or being placed in a higher scale on grant of ACP/MACP or fixation
of pay due to revision of pay scale etc., the advance increments will no longer
be continued as a separate element as it will be merged with the basic pay.
3. In so far as the persons serving in
the Indian Audit and Accounts Department are concerned, these orders will be
issued after consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
