The employee is allowed to grant of Two Increments on Same Scale Promotion. One increment is Next Above and other one is Premature Increment. I am recently sharing notfications of Federal Government and KPK Governments. As soon as i get the notifications of Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan or others, I shall update the same post for the info of the employees. The details are as follows:
Two Increments on Same Scale Promotion
When an employee gets promotion in the same basic pay scale he is allowed two increments of the same pay scale. There are some times promotions that don’t change the basic pay scale, only the designation of the employee changes. In the same way, an employee gets time scale promotion and later on the employee gets regular promotion in the same pay scale of the time scale. In this situation the employee will get two increments on promotion within the same pay scale, one is next above increment and other is time scale pay scale.
Example of Same Scale Promotion
In Federal Directorate of Education Islamabad the lecturer is in BPS-17, he gets time scale in BPS-18 after a particular time. When this lecturer of Time Scale BPS-18 is promoted as Assistant Professor (BPS-18) he gets same scale promotion. Now lets calculation his pay fixation when he gets promotion on 15 May 2026 and having Basic Pay of Rs. 160,490/- his pay fixation will be as follows:
| Sr No | Date | Pay Fixed | Remarks |
| 1 | 14-05-2026 | 160,490/- | Lecture BPS-18 (Time Scale) |
| 2 | 15-05-2026 | 165,610/- | Promoted as Assistant Professor (BPS-18) and Granted one Next Above Increment |
| 3 | 15-05-2026 | 170,730/- | Granted one premature increment in BPS-18 |
Keeping in view the above example the employee will get two increments on promotion within the same pay scale.
