Anomaly Committee accepted to give increment
This issue was pending decision for many years and it’s a good news for the employees who did not receive any increment during the year 2006 after fixation of pay based sixth pay commission implementation with effect from 1.1.2006, for the reason that they did not complete 6 months from the date of fixation of pay, as on 1.7.2006 as per Rule 9 of CCS Revised Pay Rules 2008.
However, an employee whose increment falls on 1.1.2006 will get the increment on 1.1.2006 in the pre revised pay scale and will get the next increment in the revised pay structure on 1.7.2006 i.e. on expiry of six months.
Similarly those, whose next increment is between 1st July 2006 and 1st December, 2006 were also granted next increment in the revised pay structure on 1.7.2006.
The modality to be adopted to rectify this anomaly will be issued by Government in the form of an order shortly.
