Vide Finance Div (Regulation Wing) Islamabad O.M No. F.6 (13) Imp.II/91 dated 03-06-1992 one premature increment has been allowed on grant of selection grade.

According to the Finance Division para 4(ii) of O.M No. F.1 (12) Imp.II/91 dated 29-06-1991 & para 4(iii) of O.M NO. F.1 (12) Imp/91 dated 19-08-1991 on the subject noted above wherein the benefit of premature increment on the grant of selection grade has been allowed with effect from 01-06-1991.

The matter has further been reconsidered in the Finance Division and it has been decided by the competent authority that the civil employee who were granted selection grade prior to 01-06-1991 and were serving in selection grade posts on that date may also be allowed one premature increment for the purpose of fixation of pay wef 01-06-1991. Pay so fixed will be admissible from 01-06-1992.

These orders would not be applicable if the benefit of para 4(i) of Finance Div O.M dated 29-06-1991 and dated 19-08-1991 referred to above has already been allowed.

This supersedes clarification issued in Finance Division O.M No. 1(17) Imp.II/91 dated 09-9-1991.

Govt of the Punjab Finance Department has issued Notification No. FD.PC.2-2/2012 dated 14^th January 2013 regarding admissibility of increments beyond the scope of Pay Scales.

According to Finance Department Punjab Notification No. FD.PC.2-1/2005 dated 16-01-2007 wherein it was, inter alia, clarified that all Govt Servants who have exhausted or may exhaust the relevant existing pay scales would be allowed the benefit of annual increment beyond the existing scope of the pay scales wef 01-12-2005 with no retrospective benefit, subject to the condition that the employee concerned has put in six month’s continuous service. The said benefit was to be treated as personal pay.

Vide Notification No. FD (PC)10-1/78(Pt-ii) dated 15-07-2011 whereby benefit of notional increment in the year of retirement (having at least six months’ service in the year of retirement) was allowed wef 01-06-2011 with no retrospective benefit.

In the light of above notifications, question has arisen as to whether the increments admissible in the following cases can also be allowed beyond the scope of pay scales:

1. Premature Increment on promotion from lower post to higher post if the concerned civil servant is at the maximum stage of pay scales of higher post.
2. The benefit of annual increment on notional/presumptive basis in the lower pay scale (at the maximum stage) in case of promotion after 1^st June and civil servant opts for re-fixation of his pay in terms of Rule-10(3) of Pay Revision Rules 1977.

The matter has been considered in the Finance Department and it has been decided that in the above two cases increments if otherwise due may also be allowed beyond the scoping of pay scales. These increments so allowed shall be treated as personal pay. The amount of the personal pay may be treated as part of the pay scale of the concerned government servant for the purpose of fixation of pay, pension and the recovery of House Rent, etc.

However this concession shall be admissible only to those who shall be promoted on or after 01-01-2013. Any claim pertaining to a period prior to this date shall not be entertained.

Government of Sindh, Finance Department issued Notification No. FD/SR-I/1 (123)/06 dated 24^th July 2007 regarding the clarification of Personal Pay (PP).

Finance Division Regulation Wing Islamabad has issued Notification No. 11 (4) R-2/2011-1153/2013 dated 31^st May 2013 in connection with the grant of Pre-Mature Increment on the up-gradation of the employees.

This decision has been made wef 28^th January 2013 and all the employees who have been upgraded wef the same date are eligible to get the premature increment on their up-gradation of posts. As the Govt has not allotted the amount for the expenses of the same case in the financial year 2012-13 so the same amount will be allotted in the next budget 2013-14 to meet the expenses for the said cases.

Various appeals were submitted in the Federal Service Tribunal for the said purpose and the notification has been issued in consequence of these appeals. As the Supreme Court of Pakistan made a decision on 28-01-2002 so the benefit of the premature increment will also be applicable with effect from the same date.

An employee gets increments on various occasions in his/her service. I have already discussed in my previous posts about the annual increment and premature increment as well as usual increment. Annual increment is granted to an employee on 1^st December every year on continuous 6 months service in a particular scale. Usual Increment is granted in the year of retirement of an employee when he/she retires on 1^st June or later till 30^th November. Premature Increment is allowed on promotion, re-appointment or up-gradation. However I am today discussing about the occasion where an employee will get two increments at the same time.

Two Increments at the Time of Promotion within the Scale

AN Employee can get two increment on promotion with in the same scale.

What Does Promotion Within The Same Scale Stands For?

I already discussed in my previous posts that when an employee promotes but he remains in the same scale i.e the designation of the employee changes but the pay scales remains the same. Suppose an LDC in BPS-09 (SG) promotes as UDC BPS-09 in this example the employee’s designation has been changed due to promotion but the basic pay scale remains the same. It means he/she has been promoted within the same scale. The second example is that in some departments a Supdt of BPS-16 on his promotion becomes Admin Officer but the Basic Pay Scale of the Admin Officer is also the same i.e 16.

Generally an employee can get two increments at the time of fixation of his/her pay whenever he/she is promoted within the same scale. In the above mentioned examples the employee will get two increments 1x increment is next above and the second one is premature increment. The example of this fixation is as under:

An LDC (SG) having basic pay 4375/- in BPS-07 on 01-05-2007 and he gets promotion his pay will be fixed as mentioned below:

When the Next above Stage of the New Scale Coincides with the Old Scale Stage

Some times when we fix the pay of an employee and the stages of the old pay scale and the new pay scale in which the pay is to be fixed coincides i.e the two stages are same, then the employee will also get two increments, 1x increment will be next above and the 2^nd one will be premature increment. Suppose an employee having Rs. 31600/- in BPS-16 is promoted on 31-05-2012 to BPS-17, if we fix this pay in BPS-17, in BPS-17 there is also a stage of 31600/- . In this situation we will fix the pay as mentioned below:

Thus in the above situation the pay of an employee will be fixed Rs. 34,000/- instead of 32,800/-

Govt of Baluchistan Finance Department has issued Notification No. FD (R-I) III (40-41) 2013/2857-2887 dated 25^th June 2013 in connection with the fixation of pay of the SSTs upgraded from BPS-16 to BPS-17, after annual increment 2012.  These SSTs were upgraded wef 01-07-2012 and in this case the service of 6 months is not completed so they were not entitled to get the annual increment of 2012.

In this notification it has been granted authority for all these SSTs (Secondary School Teachers) to retain their in BPS-16 upto 01-12-2012 to avoid the loss of one increment.

After availing the annual increment in BPS-16 on 01-12-2012, they are allowed to fix their pay in BPS-17 on 02-12-2012. If the Govt of Baluchistan Finance Department also issues the Notification of Premature Increment on up-gradation, then these teachers will also be eligible to get the premature increment on their up-gradation. The same notification has already been issued by the Finance Division Regulation Wing Islamabad for the Federal Govt Employees.

Govt of Pakistan Finance Division Regulation Wing, Islamabad has already issued Notification No. 3 (11) R.2/2011 dated 12^th April 2011 in connection with the Admissibility of Increments beyond the Scope of Pay Scales.

With reference to Finance Division O.M No. F.1 (6)/Imp/2005 dated 18-10-2006, wherein it inter-alia, clarified that all those Govt servants who exhausted/may exhaust the relevant pay scales may be allowed the benefit of an annual increment beyond the existing scope of the pay scales wef 01-12-2005. The increment so allowed may be treated as personal pay subject to the condition that the employee concerned has put in six months or more service as count for annual increment unless withheld under the relevant rules. The amount of the personal pay may be treated as the part of the pay scale of the concerned Govt Employee for the purpose of fixation of pay, pension and recovery of House Rent Allowance.

In the light of above clarification, questions have arisen as whether the increments admissible in the following cases can also be allowed beyond the scope of pay scales:

• Premature Increment on promotion from lower post to higher post if the concerned civil servant is at the maximum stage of the pay scales of higher post.
• In the year of retirement if the concerned civil servant has completed six months in the pay scale in which he retires and he is at the maximum stage of his pay scales.
•  The benefit of annual increment on notional basis/presumptive basis in the lower pay scale (at the maximum stage) in case of promotion after 1^st June and a civil servant opt for fixation of pay in terms of Finance Division O.M No. 8 (2)G-Imp-I/75 dated 14-10-1976.

The matter has been considered in the Finance Division and it has been decided that in all the above three cases, increments if otherwise due, may also be allowed beyond the scope of pay scales. The increments so allowed shall be treated as personal pay and the grant of personal pay may be treated as the part of pay scale of the concerned Govt servant, Pension, Recovery of House Rent etc.  (This post has been delivered by Mr. Nafees Ahmad).

Important Question regarding Premature Increment to ESTs

If SSTs can get the benefit of premature increment/ re-fixation of pay then why not PSTs appointed as ESTs, having the same situation, can get this benefit?

Notification No. FD (SOSR-1) 2-123/2013 dated 31^st December 2013 has been issued by KPK Govt in connection with clarification regarding Grant of One Special Advance Increment to the Employees holding Selection Grade prior to Up-Gradation of their posts in BPS already held by them. Thus the employees of KPK are eligible to get the Premature Increment on Upgradation.

With reference to Finance Department KPK Notification No. FD (SR-1) 2-4/2008 dated 04-04-2009, it is stated that certain queries have been received from different quarters as to whether the employees, holding selection grade prior to their up-gradation of posts in BPS already held by them, are also eligible to the benefit of premature increment on up-gradation of their posts.

In this connection, the provincial Government in consultation with Government of Pakistan, Finance Division, has to clarify that one special advance increment is admissible also to the employees who were holding selection grade prior to their upgradation of posts in Basic Pay Scales already held by them, just as in case of same scale promotion.

Government of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Finance Department has issued Notification No. FD (SOSR-1) 2-123/2014 dated 21^st February 2014 in connection with Grant of Premature Increment on Promotion within the same Scale.

According to this Notification one premature increment is admissible to the employees who are promoted to the higher scale while they are already drawing the pay of that higher post.

In pursuance of the Finance Division Regulation Wing, Islamabad Notification No. F.11 (30) R-2/2010-1150 dated 5^th November 2012, regarding Premature Increment on Promotion within the Same Scale, the Competent Authority is pleased to allow 1x premature increment in the pay scales of the higher post in case of fixation of pay on promotion within the same pay scale in all cases of promotion to higher posts having the same Basic Pay Scales. It means the employees having the said promotion, now will be admissible to the following benefits:-

1. One Advance Increment as Next Stage
2. One Premature Increment

It means that the employees who are promoted within the same scale will now get two increments instead of one increment.

This Notification also removed the confusion of many employees who were in confusion that according to the Finance Division Notification, they will get only one increment. Now according to this notification they will get two increments.

Government of the Pakistan Finance Division has issued Office Memorandum No. 2(1)/R-I/2009-1030 dated 27^th May 2010 in connection with Re-Fixation of Pay on Re-appointment after allowing annual increment in the previous scale. The option of fixation of pay after getting annual increment in the previous scale on re-appointment was granted to Mr. Muhammad Asif Akram, Senior Auditor who was earlier working in BPS-05 and then re-appointed in BPS-11.

This office memorandum of the Finance Division clears the anomaly of the fixation of the pay on re-appointed in case the employee is re-appointed after 1^st June. In this situation, the employee will get the annual increment as usual in the previous pay scale on 1^st December and then he will fix his pay in the new pay scale. It is further added that the premature increment on re-appointment is already in vogue.

With reference to the Office of the Accountant General Pakistan Revenues letter No. TM/HA/1-73/Misc/Clarification/287 dated 28^th October 2009, on the subject and it is clarified that appointment from one post to another involving assumption of duties carrying greater responsibilities for the purpose of FR-22 & FR-80 has been treated at par with promotion for fixation of pay in terms of O.M No. F.1(2)NG-Imp/71 dated 16^th December 1977.

Accordingly, the benefit of annual increment based on the option as provided in O.M of 14^th October 1975 is meant for fixation of pay on promotion with a view to avoid loss of the annual increment for the relevant calendar year in cases in which the condition of at least 6 months service which otherwise counts for the purpose, is true and is admissible in the case under reference.
