Today I am giving you the reference of Finance Division Regulation Wing, Islamabad Notification No. F.4 (5)-R/4/98 dated 23rd May 2001 to clarify the concept of Premature Increment on appointment from lower grade to higher grade.
According to Auditor General Office letter No. 220/Reg-I/Pay/1-94/C-KW-III dated 10-05-2001 on the subject matter, the issue of premature increment on appointment from post to another has been re-examined in the regulation wing and the opinion arrived is given below:-
The admissibility of premature increment is regulated by Finance Division’s O.M No. F-1 (2)-NG-IMP/71 dated 16-02-1977 which clarifies the concept of pay fixation and premature increment introduced in the Scheme of National Pay and Allowances vide clause (I) of part-I of Finance Division O.M No. 1 (2)- NG-IMP/71 dated 08-03-1972.
According to the clarification issued vide O.M dated 16-02-1977, the word “Promotion” occurring in the first line of the said clause has been used in the context of pay fixation and not in the context of the recruitment rules. Accordingly, it means an appointment from one post to another involving assumption of duties or responsibilities of greater importance for the purpose of FR-22 and FR-30.
Similarly the word “Promotion/Appointment” used in Finance Division’s U.O No. 893-R-3/81 dated 24-10-1981 may also be interpreted in the context of pay fixation and not in the context of recruitment rules. Therefore Finance Division did not err in using the word “Appointment” in combination with the word “Promotion” in the aforesaid U.O letter.
In the light of foregoing position the benefit of premature increment is admissible to all those Govt servants whose promotion/appointment involves assumption of duties and responsibilities of greater importance, than those attached to their previous posts.
It is clear from the above discussion that 1x premature increment will be granted to the employee who is re-appointed from lower grade to higher grade involving the responsibilities of greater importance as the word re-appointment is the same as promotion in the context of pay fixation.
Dear Madam! I hope and pray for your good health. Madam I am working in paid out Defence as a N/Qasid BPS-2 in last 10 years but now a days I appointed as a Assistant BPS-14. SO my question as that I am entitled for premature increment, if any documents audience available & sent me, please waiting for your kind response
Dear Mureed all the supporting documents ate attached with this post. Thanks
Dear Shumaila,
I was working in BPS-16 December 2008 to June 2009 with a running basic of Rs. 7940/- at that time and afterwards I got appointed in BPS-17 with a pay of Rs. 9850/- in July 2009.
Keeping in view of above, my question is this “may I be granted 1xpremature or advance increment” in this scenario as Rs. 9850/- is the initial stage of BPS-17?
Dear Asad plz email me ur full issue with detail.
I am trying to say that when I got appointed in Grade 17 from Grade 16, according to the notification my pay should had to be fixed in Grade 17 by giving one premature / advance increment i.e. Rs. 9850/- + 740 = Rs. 10590/- but my office given me the initial pay of Grade 17.
Reason for it when I inquired from my account officer he is of the view that because of huge difference of pay of Grade 16 to 17 i.e. Rs. 7940/- and Rs. 9850/- for Grade 17 that is why in Grade 17 your pay is Rs. 9850/- because only one or two premature increments can be given and in this case 5+ increments are required to achieve Rs. 9850/- from Rs. 7940/- of Grade 16.
Dear u r premature increment is only entitled when the difference of the two basic pays is equal or less than the increment of the higher scale.
Please inform me that premature increament order valid for punjab teachers too.
I think it is for all the employees of Pakistan as the Pay Fixation Rules are General.
