Military Account General, Kashmir Road Rawalpindi Cantt issued a Letter No. 38/AT/PC/4699-XXIV/P-139 dated 11th April 2007 in connection with Option for Re-Fixation of Pay on Grant of Selection Grade. In this letter it is clearly written that the benefit of re-fixation of pay on award of selection grade in respect of teachers before 07-07-2001 is in order and may not be re-considered/revised.
Finance Division Regulation Wing Islamabad has issued Notification regarding Grant of Premature Increment on Promotion within the same scale vide No. F.11 (30) R-2/2010-1180 dated 5th November 2012. Vide Finance Division Regulation Wing OM No. F.2 (8)R-I(1)/80 dated 17-11-1991 it was inter-alia, decided to allow next stage equal to one increment on fixation of pay in the case where a Govt servant already drawing pay in a pay scale by virtue of selection grade or otherwise holding a lower post in the pay scale is promoted to a higher post falling in the same scale.
An Option Certificate on Pay Fixation is a great tool for employees who are being promoted. An option certificate can be adopted if an employee is promoted after 1st June. As you all know that the condition for the annual increment is a minimum of 6 months of service in a particular scale, and if an employee is promoted after 1st June, the 6 months of service are not completed by the same employee. Then what will happen to the employee if he is promoted after 1st June? Will he not get the benefit of the Annual Increment? This will be a loss for that employee. But don’t worry; this loss can be avoided by using the great tool of the Option Certificate for Pay Fixation.
