I am sharing today the details of the Fixation of pay on Promotion from BPS-02 to BPS-11 with Option and Without Option. An employee was promoted on 18-10-2022 and his fixation details are as under:
Fixation of pay on Promotion from BPS-02 to BPS-11 without Option
An employee got a promotion on 18th Oct 2022 from BPS-02 to BPS-11. His basic pay in the previous pay scale was Rs. 18230/- as per the Basic Pay Scales 2022.
If we fix his pay without option, the employee will not get the Annual Increment of 2022 as his length of service in the new pay scale is not a minimum of 6 months which is the basic condition for an annual increment. I have explained a few weeks ago the in the article who will not get the salary increase benefit due to the annual increment 2022. Keeping in view the facts we first fix the pay of the employee without an option that is as under:
| Sr. No | Dates | Basic Pay | Remarks
|
| 1 | Pay as on 17-10-2022 | 18230/- | BPS-02 |
| 2 | Pay as on 18-10-2022 | 18650/- | Next Above BPS-11 |
| 3 | Pay as on 18-10-2022 | 19960/- | Premature Increment on Promotion BPS-11 |
| 4 | Pay as in 01-12-2022 | 19960/- | No Annual Increment |
In the above calculation of the Fixation of pay, we just fix the pay on 18-10-2022 and fix the pay with the next above basic pay as well as a premature increment on promotion. After that on 1st December 2022, we don’t grant him an annual increment as per the rules mentioned above.
Pay Fixation by Using with Option
| Sr. No | Dates | Basic Pay | Remarks
|
| 1 | Pay as on 30-10-2022 | 18230/- | BPS-02 |
| 2 | Pay as on 01-12-2022 | 18720/- | Annual Increment BPS-02 |
| 3 | Pay as on 02-12-2022 | 19960/- | Next Above BPS-11 on promotion |
| 4 | Pay as in 02-12-2022 | 21270/- | Premature Increment on Promotion BPS-11 |
In the example of adopting the option, we first grant the annual increment to the employee in the previous pay scale on 1st December. Then we give the next above and premature increment to the employee on 2nd December in BPS-11. In this way, the employee gets more benefit of 1x increment. In this way, the employee will just have to bear the loss of arrears amount from 18th Oct 2022 to 30th Nov 2022. But the employee has the main benefit of increment that will give more benefits in the future. So the using option here in this example is best.
On the Request of the Recent Promoted BPS 02 Employee
Subject: Guideline about option on fixation of pay
Dear Sir/madam,
There is some vagueness/ambiguity about pay fixation in case of option on promotion after 01st June and before 30 th Nov. As per past practice and rules, fixation of pay was used to be delayed till 1st Dec. But according to definition, fixation of pay should be made immediately after promotion but refixation of pay should be made on 1st Dec for annual increament in previous grade/post. So, Please provide illustration of the subject case for clarity of cases of past and present.Please reply at the earliest. Thanks.
Regards,
Ismail
