Fixation of Pay on Promotion within the Same Pay Scale

I will explain the full procedure of fixation of pay on promotion within the same scale with the reference of Finance Division (Regulation Wing) Islamabad notifications. Here is to mention that the employee who is promoted within the same scale will get 2x increments, 1x Next Above Increment and the other one is Premature Increment.  The next above increment was already in vague and premature increment on promotion within the same scale is allowed vide Finance Div Notification No. F.11 (30) R-2/2010-1180 dated 5th November 2012.  Here is to mention that the Premature Increment on promotion within the same scale was granted by the Finance Division O.M No. F.2 (8)R-I(1)/80 dated 17-11-1991 and the same was stopped by the Auditor General Pakistan vide letter No. 164/R-I/14C/87KW/267 dated 26-08-1996.

What is Promotion within the Same Scale?

I think many employees don’t know “what is promotion within the same scale”. I will illustrate you with example about the same.

Suppose an employee is working as LDC (SG) BPS-09 and his/her next promotion is UDC that has also the same scale BPS-09. In this situation the promotion of the employee is within the same scale i.e the employee before promotion was in BPS-09 and after promotion he/she is also in BPS-09.

The second example of the same is that Supdt in some departments is in BPS-16 and his/her next promotion is Admin Officer (BPS-16). In this situation the employee also promoted in the same scale i.e before the promotion the employee was in BPS-16 and after promotion he/she also got the same scale BPS-16.

How to Fix Pay in Promotion within the same Scale?

Suppose a LDC (SG) BPS-09 is getting Rs. 12660/- as basic pay and he is promoted as UDC (BPS-09) wef 02-05-2012 then his/her pay will be as under:-

 

Pay on 01-05-2012 12660/- BPS- 09 (LDC-SG)
Pay on 02-05-2012 on Promotions UDC BPS- 09 13420/- Next Above + 1x Premature Increment

 

If the same employee is promoted on 02-06-2012 then he can opt to pay his pay fixed after getting annual increment as LDC (SG). If he/she doesn’t opt to pay his/her pay on 02-12-2012 he is not eligible to get the annual increment on 01-12-2012 as he/she has not continuous 6 months service as UDC (in new scale). Now the situation after option will be as under:-

 

Pay on 30-11-2012 12660/- BPS- 09 (LDC-SG)
Pay on 01-12-2012 13040/- Annual Increment (LDC-SG) BPS-09
Pay on 02-12-2012 on Promotion as UDC in BPS- 09 13800/- Next Above + 1x Premature Increment

  1. Dear Admin,
    I was working in BPS 17 in an autonomous organization on regular basis. 2 years ago I applied in FPSC through proper channel ( with departmental permission certificate). Now I have been selected in BPS 17 post and also promoted to bps 18 in current organisation. As I applied through proper channel, the department has no objection and will relieve me. But they are not granting a lien as they say that I am under probation (after being promoted). My question is, will I get pay protection after joining the new department in BPS 17 and will my previous service be counted (which is 6 years now)?

    Hope you are doing well. I need some clarifications regarding promotion in same scale in terms of direct selection through FPSC.
    I was working as Senior Subject Specialist(Economics)/BPS-18 after being selected by PPSC on contract basis. Then I applied for the post of Assistant Chief/BPS-18 through FPSC through proper channel. I was selected. Now please, inform me that my that whether my selection in the same scale will be considered as promotion in the same scale. If it is the case of promotion in the same scale, then whether I am eligible to get 1xNext Above Increment +Premature Increment or not?
    Your expert opinion will be obliged highly.

    Thanks & Regards

      1. Thanks a lot madam for your valuable opinion. But if you through a bit more light on it, it would be great.
        Someone has told me that direct selection is also considered as promotion. As you have termed my case as reappointment, so would you like to clarify that whether reappointment is synonymous to promotion or not in may case.
        Thanks & Regards

        1. I am still confused. I was selected in the same scale i.e. form BPS 18 (teaching post) to BPS 18 (Administrative Post) instead of being selected from lower to higher scale. So please guide that whether I am eligible for 1XNext Above+Pre-mature Increment or not on account of being direct selection (reappointment) i.e promotion.

          1. According to the Notification that i have only lower to higher pay scale promotion involves. however you can search for the notification where same scale promotion involves.

    I was working in BPS-17 by virtue of Selection grade and promoted as SDO in same Scale BPS-17 on 24.07.2001. At the time of promotion I was as second last stage of BPS-17 and while fixation of pay in BPS-17 I was allowed next above stage which was last Stage in BPS-17 hence I could not avail the benefit of per-mature increment. Further the benefit of re fixation after availing annual increment on 01.12.2001 was also not allowed being last stage in BPS-17 resultantly I have to sustain the loss of 2 increments. I applied for revision of fixation after allowing two increments beyond Pay Scale as allowed during 2005 but my request was turned down on th plea that there was np provision in the Pay Scale of 1994 to allow increemnt beyond pay Scale 17 in 1994. Kindly guide if any Rule available be provided.

    I am not entitled to get refixation in revise pay Scale 2001 instead of 1994 to aviod financial loss.

    The Federal Government of Pakistan has allowed two move up to the employees of BPS-1 to 4. Due to this a Naib Qasid of BPS-1 has been placed in BPS-3. Now a Naib Qasid who is drawing pay in BPS-3 is promoted as Daftri in BPS-2.
    It is confirm that he will get only one increment of BPS-3 but the department is going to fix his pay in BPS-2 at Next above stage and on arbitration desired to provide a reference to any rule in this regard.
    The Finance Department Punjab has issued a Notification No.FD(SR-I)1-8/76-Vol-II, dated 29-04-1984. Would you please help me by giving a reference of any rule in this regard of the Federal Government.

  19. Sir,
    I am EST(V) teacher. I have got scale 15 from 14 in C.M package in 2010. I know there is no premature increment in C.M. package for Punjab teachers. In scale 14 my pay was 14040/= at that time. In scale 15, there was same stage 14040/=. So, my pay fixed at the same stage means 14040/=. Would I had right to get next stage of pay because of same stage fixation or zero benefit after getting higher scale. please tell me about this situation. Thanks. With best wishes.

  21. Regular Promotion in BPS-18 on 1-12-2000, pay was at maximum stage. Earlier Selection grade in BPS-18 was granted on 3-4-1994. Since no stage available in maximum pay scale as such no next above or premature increment was granted at time of promotion i.e 1-12-2000. Mover Over in BPS-19 was allowed on 1-12-2001. Deferment in pay fixation can not be allowed. Preemptive pay fixation after grant of selection grade or premature increment as per recent decision of Supreme Court orders of within pay scale is applicable or not. How this pay fixation with existing rules can be fixed to get benefit of promotion please. Thanks.

      1. Thanks clarification but it is not applicable in year 2000 when pay was at maximum stage. These usual increment are allowed in year 2005 as such no help within existing rules is helpfull as yet. Thanks

        information is required relating payment of gratuity and Leave encashment to those employees having less than 10 years service. in Punjab Esta Code at page # 14, Gratuity & Pension Benefits,
        question is this that at what extent the gratuity is to be paid?

        These are re-employed persons and got retired at the age of 60years from University service as they were employed on regular basis. Punjab Government rules are prevailing in university (Autonomous Body).

        Further quries will be shared after this.
        Waiting for comprehensive response from you.
        Contact if required will be provided to you.
