Pay fixation occurs on many occasions in the service life of an employee. It is generally fixed when an employee is promoted, upgraded, re-appointed, gets move-over, gets selection grade, on getting advance increments etc. The move-over and selection grade have already been eliminated in December 2001. However if there is any back date case of such category pay can be fixed. Let’s see the detailed view of pay fixation.
Pay Fixation Procedure
Full detail of pay fixation procedure in various cases is as under:
Pay Fixation on Promotion
Whenever an employee is promoted in the same scale, pay is fixed by adding 1 x premature increment into his/her running basic pay. When an employee is promoted from lower scale to higher scale pay is fixed by adding 1x premature increment into the next stage of the higher scale. However if the stage of the next scale is equal to the lower scale then 1x additional increment is granted to the employee. Thus this employee will avail now the benefit of 2x increments instead of 1x increment.
Pay fixation on Up-gradation
If an employee is upgraded his pay is fixed into the next stage of the higher scale and if the same situation of both stage then 1x increment also be granted to the employee. However premature increment is not granted for an employee who is up-graded.
Pay Fixation on Re-Appointment
If an employee is re-appointed then the pay is fixed after getting the pay protection from the higher authorities. The higher authorities only give pay protection when an employee applies for the post through proper channel. If the employee does not apply through proper channel then he/she makes his own loss by loosing the previous service. I advise all the employees who don’t know that when ever they apply for another post they must apply through proper channel. There are many examples that employees did not apply through proper channel and they lost their previous service. Thus they made a huge financial loss to themselves.
On re-appointment 1x premature increment is also granted and pay is fixed in the same way as described above.
Pay fixation on Move-Over
The move-over case occurred in the past before December 2001. The move-over was due to the employee if he/she reached to the peak of the stages. In case of Move-over the pay was fixed into the next scale and pay was taken the next stage of the higher scale.
Pay Fixation on Selection Grade
Fixation of pay for an employee who has been granted Selection Grade is the same as Promotion case. In this case 1x premature increment is also granted to the employee as in promotion case.
Pay fixation in case of Advance Increments
In case of Advance Increments No. of increments that the employee has granted as advance increments is added to his/her running pay.



Kindly mail me the official document which states/explains: Pay protection Rule. Just recently I was given scale 14 from 12.
Revised scale was due on 1-Oct-2011.
Notification was sent in the month of April, 2012.
Now account branch says, that recovery will be made because an extra increment (on 31 dec 2012) was added. Could you kindly send me pay protection rule or official scanned copy.
Moreover, My scale was revised twice: once on 1-Oct-2006 (11 to 12) and on 1-Oct-2011 (12 to 14). Government/Court has recently decided that, a premature increment will be awarded on upgradation. Our organization says, our case does not fall in upgradation but higher/Senior Basic Pay Scale category and not the upgradation thus no arrears.
Please guide and send me official supportive documents, so that i can send application to higher authorities or go to court. Thanks.
Dear Ziarat Khan plz email me and send me ur full detail of promotions and upgradations also mention ur department. Thanks

Dear Mudasar premature increment BPS-16 ki milay gi.
Thanks for prompt reply. Appreciate
I joined the PAEC through proper channel in the scale Group II(2079-116-3819) from Edu.Deptt.N.W.F.P in the scale(2065-161-4480) on 15-01-2001.at that time my basic pay was Rs.3031 and my pay was fixed at Rs.3007 .what about my pay fixation/protection.
Dear Asif , I think they wrongly counted your pay. Pay cannot be less than the previous pay. And I think there should also be a premature increment as you applied through proper channel and your previous pay and service was protected.
Thank you for your keen interest in the matter I have send you email please check out. Also please study para-5 of the notification, some peoples are of the view that no doubt that that time there was no concept of P-Pay, but according to the contents of para-5 of the notification your increment as P-Pay is justified in
Dear Sir, On my promotion as UDC In BPS-7 I was not granted increment as I was already in BPS-7 due to selection and was at the maximum. Now after allowing premature on promotion in the same scale junior to me have granted increment whereas being a senior and due to maximum of the BPS-7 at the time of promotion i could not be granted. Is this not discrimination and injustice that junior have enjoyed the financial benefit of this latest decision and the seniors are ignored.
Dear Fazal Ghani try to claim the same as Personal Pay (PP) and send the fixation case again.
Thank you very much for response, unfortunately that time there was no concept of personal pay due to this the accounts authority refused the case
I am still looking for your precious advice please. would you please guide me further?
Respected Shumaila Kamal. I have the same problem as put forth by Mr. Ghani above. in our department of hundered of such cases is as such there was no concept of P/Pay at that therefore the Establishment Section are not taking up the case with CMA. It will be better if the case is take up with MAG by CMA at their own end, may be it will be benificial for all. What is your valouable views about it?
Dear Ghulam Hussain i appreciate ur suggestion. It is better to take the case to MAG.
Dear Fazal Ghani just email me with the full detail.
Respected Shumaila Kama,
I was appointed as Librarian in BPS 16 on 29/05/1989
I was granted BPS 17 as personal scale on the basis of higher qualification on 25/06/1989.
I was deprived from annual increment on December 1989,
while my other colleagues were given the same increment. Its is mentioned here that
my colleagues were also my class fellows and we were selected in the same order.
I have to ask that am I entitled to the same increment, or not?
Dear u r 100% entitled to get the annual increment as ur period in the BPS-16 is more than 6 months.
A.O.A ,
Respected Mr. A. Rahman Sajid,
