I am sharing here the complete Detail of Premature Increment, Annual Increment and Next Above to Government Employees. It is granted to the employees on their promotion and up-gradation from lower to higher scale and promotion within same scale.
Detail of Premature Increment, Annual Increment and Next Above
Before proceeding further on the topic, let’s discuss the difference between Premature Increment and Annual Increment that is granted to the employees on various occasions.
Difference between Premature Increment and Annual Increment
Some people consider that Premature Increment and Annual Increment are same. Amount of these in a particular scale is same but these are two different things.
Annual Increment
Annual increment is the amount equal to difference of two consecutive stages in a particular pay scale. It is granted to every employee on 1st December of each year. If the employee has a service of 6 months or more in a particular scale on 1st December, he is eligible for the annual increment of that year.
The example of that is that if employee joins a particular scale on 1st June (Forenoon) or before he is eligible for the annual increment. If he joins after 1st June, he is not eligible for the annual increment.
If an employee is on extra ordinary leave (Leave without pay) upto 1st December since more than 6 months he is not eligible for Annual Increment of that year. For example if the EOL of an employee starts before 1st June and remains upto 1st December. He will not be granted annual increment. Suppose his EOL is from 1st July 2018 to 31st December 2018 or to any month of next year. He will be eligible for the annual increment of 2018 as he has completed 6 months service in that year.
On the basis of disciplinary cases annual increment of an employee can be withdrawn.
Premature Increment
It is different from Annual Increment. Its amount in a particular scale is equal to the annual increment as it is also the difference of two consecutive stages of a particular pay scale. Instead of granting on 1st December, it can be granted at any time of the year on the promotion, upgradation or re-appointment of an employee. Some conditions of this increment are as under:
Premature Increment on Promotion
If an employee is promoted from lower to higher scale or his/her promotion in the same scale, premature increment is granted to the employee.
Premature Increment on Up-gradation of the Post
This Increment on the upgradation of post is also granted but it is not granted in all the provinces of Pakistan upto August 2019. May be in later stage it will be implemented all over Pakistan.
Premature Increment on re-appointment
Let’s an employee applies through proper channel and is reappointed to another post in the same department or other. He is eligible for this increment. I have already published an article regarding Premature Increment on re-appointment from lower to higher scale.
When Premature Increment is not granted?
Some people believe that this increment is compulsory on promotion, up-gradation or re-appointment. No it is not so. In some cases it is not granted to the employee on his promotion, up-gradation or re-appointment. Example is as under:
Suppose an employee of BPS-05 at his /her 2nd stage (Rs.9430/-) according to revised pay scale chart 2017, is upgraded to BPS-10 then his pay will be fixed at his 1st stage of BPS-10 (Rs. 10180/-). He is not eligible for the premature increment as the difference of the two stages of BPS-05 and BPS-10 in this case is more than the annual increment of BPS-10 (10180 – 9430 = 750/-). In this case difference is 750/- and Annual Increment of BPS-10 is 670/- .
Next Above on Promotion, Re-Appointment and Upgradation
There is another term “Next Above”. It is the right of an employee to get Next Above on his /her Promotion, Re-Appointment or Upgradation. It may or may not be equal to Annual Increment or Premature Increment.
For example an employee of BPS-05 at 11th Stage (Rs.13210) of his pay scale is promoted to BPS-07, then Rs. 13300/- will be his /her next above stage and his pay will be fixed Rs. 13810/- by adding one premature increment Rs. 510/- to 13300/-.
Suppose an employee of BPS-05 at his/her 11th Stage is promoted in the same scale. i.e from BPS-05 to BPS-05 (In particular cases). Then 13630/- will be his next above and after adding premature increment Rs. 420/-. His pay will be fixed Rs. 14050/-. It means on promotion within same scale an employee gets two increments. One is Next Above and other Premature Increment. You can also get help from the earlier published article ” How to Fix Pay” that will really guide you in this regard.
I tried my best to cover the Complete Detail of Premature Increment to the employees. However further amendment / correction/suggestion in this article is most welcomed.
Aoa sir I want to get clarification that I received my appointment orders on 30 May, but joined my job on 4th June, is there any possibility that I may get annual increment???
Any relaxation in the rule????
If an employee has been upgraded 01/07/2016 on TSU basis from BPS-14 to BPS-16 & he has opted for availing the Annual Increment in BPS-14 due on 01/12/2016 & then fixation & premature increment on 02/12/2016. In the meanwhile on 10/10/2016, the post is upgraded from BPS-14 to BPS-15 & BPS-16 as one time dispensation. So how would his pay will be fixed in this case.
Respected Sir, please guide me if a person want to join a post in another dept. which ranks in low grade e.g from BPS 17 he want to join BPS 16 in another dept. is he gets any of the benefits like previous increments or any allowance. and if so please sent me the notification if any. thanks
Plz clarify that either OPTION for fixation of pay (on re-appointment from lower to higher scale in the same department) must be tendered only on 1st December of same Calendar Year of Re-appointment or at any stage in the succeeding calendar years of re-appointment?

You cannot get the annual increment on that year if it is your 1st Govt appointment.
If an employee has been upgraded 01/07/2016 on TSU basis from BPS-14 to BPS-16 & he has opted for availing the Annual Increment in BPS-14 due on 01/12/2016 & then fixation & premature increment on 02/12/2016. In the meanwhile on 10/10/2016, the post is upgraded from BPS-14 to BPS-15 & BPS-16 as one time dispensation. So how would his pay will be fixed in this case.
First, we’ll fix the pay in BPS-15 then in BPS-16. Just check the next above in BPS-15 and premature increment and then check the same in BPS-16.
Respected Sir, please guide me if a person want to join a post in another dept. which ranks in low grade e.g from BPS 17 he want to join BPS 16 in another dept. is he gets any of the benefits like previous increments or any allowance. and if so please sent me the notification if any. thanks

Yes, he is eligible if under the rules.
If someone regularized on 4th june,
Will he get annual increment?
He will not get the annual increment unless his previous service is regularized.
Plz clarify that either OPTION for fixation of pay (on re-appointment from lower to higher scale in the same department) must be tendered only on 1st December of same Calendar Year of Re-appointment or at any stage in the succeeding calendar years of re-appointment?
I could not understand, please in detail.

Sir, Im working in a Federal Govt. Department. My Particulars are as under:
Date of joining in BPS-8 on contract basis: 15-11-199
Date of regular in BPS-8 (1540-88-2860): 01-04-2000
Date of promotion in BPS-11 (1725-116-3465): 16-05-2001
Sir, at the time of promotion my basic pay in BPS-8 was 1628 and I was not granted premature increment. Plz guide that premature mature should had been granted or not.
apki bot nawazish ho gi.
regards,
You are not allowed the premature increment as the difference of the two pay scales pays is more than the annual increment.
Sir my basic pay in BPS-8 was Rs. 1628 and was adjusted in BPS 11 on initial stage i.e. Rs.1725 the increment of BPS-11 was Rs. 125. So, the difference between BPS-8 pay and BPS-11 pay was 1725-1628= Rs.97 which was less than increment of BPS-11 i.e.Rs.125.
If so then there is another condition that premature increment requires minimum 3 years period.
Condition of three year service has been relaxed on reappointment/ upgradation on 11/2/2020 I file a case and win
Please email me the letter/order at [email protected]
