A lot of confusion has arisen in the ranks of Civil Accounts Employees after the notification of the Sixth Pay Panels recommendation. Most of the doubts are because of the merger of scales of 5000-150-8000, 5500-175-9000 and 6500-200-10500 and because up-gradation of the posts of Section Officers (SO)/Junior Accounts Officer (JAO), Assistant Accounts Officers (AAO), Accounts Officers (AO/PAO) and Senior Accounts Officers (PAO) as also doubts in the minds of those Senior Accountants (SA) who have been given ACP or are on the verge of getting ACP in the near future. I hope the following examples and explanations therein will help clear any doubts or confusion you may have.
1 Pay fixation of LDC appointed on or after 01-01-2006
Old scale: S-8, 3050-75-3950-80-4590
New Pay Band and Grade Pay: PB-1, 5200-20200, GP-1900
Basic Pay as on the date of appointment: 5830/-
Grade Pay as on the date of appointment: 1900/-
Total Pay as on the date of appointment: 5830 + 1900 = 7730/-
2 Pay fixation of Accountants appointed on or after 01-01-2006
Old scale: S-8, 4500-125-7000
New Pay Band and Grade Pay: PB-1, 5200-20200, GP-2800.
Basic Pay as on the date of appointment: 8560/-
Grade Pay as on the date of appointment: 2800/-
Total Pay as on the date of appointment: 8560 + 2800 = 11360/-
3 Pay fixation of LDC appointed before 01-01-2006 but promoted to Accountant on or after 01-01-06
An LDC drawing pay of 3425 in the scale of 3050-75-3950-80-4590as on 01-01-2006, but consequent to having passed the departmental exam was promoted to the post of Accountant on 01-04-2006 in the scale of 4500-125-7000.
His fixation on 01-01-2006 as LDC will be:
1 Existing Pay Scale: 3050-75-3950-80-4590
2 Pay Band Applicable: 5200-20200
3 Existing Basic Pay as on 01-01-2006: 3425
4 Pay after multiplication factor of 1.86: 6370.5
5 Pay in the Pay Band: 6380
6 Pay in the pay band after including benefit of bunching if any: 6380
7 Grade Pay attached to the scale: 1900
8 Revised Pay = total of pay in the pay band and grade pay: 8280
His fixation on 01-04-2006 on promotion as Accountant will be:
1 Existing Pay Band: 5200-20200 and Existing Grade Pay: 1900
2 Pay Band applicable on promotion: 5200-20200 and Grade Pay: 2800
3 Existing Pay as on 01-04-2006: 6380
4 Existing Grade Pay: 1900
5 Total of existing pay and grade pay: 8280
6 Increment on promotion (@ 3%): 250
7 Pay after increment: 6380 + 250 = 6630
8 Grade Pay in promoted grade: 2800
9 Total of pay and grade pay: 9430
10 Minimum of pay in the promoted grade: 11360
11 Revised Pay on promotion = total of pay in the pay band and grade pay: 11360
Note in the above on promotion he is granted one increment and grade pay of promoted grade. However in above case his pay gets fixed at 9430, which is less than minimum of the pay in the promoted grade, which is 11360. Hence his pay will be fixed at the minimum of the pay in the promoted grade, which is 11360. So his pay on promotion is 11360.
4 Pay fixation of an Accountant promoted as Senior Accountant on or after 01-01-06
An Accountant was drawing pay of 5000 in the scale of 4500-125-7000 on 01-01-2006 but consequent to having completed more than three years as an Accountant he was promoted to the post of Senior Accountant after 01-04-2006.
His fixation on 01-01-2006 as Accountant will be:
1 Existing Pay Scale: 4500-175-7000
2 Pay Band Applicable: 5200-20200
3 Existing Basic Pay as on 01-01-2006: 5000
4 Pay after multiplication factor of 1.86: 9300
5 Pay in the Pay Band: 9300
6 Pay in the pay band after including benefit of bunching if any: 9300
7 Grade Pay attached to the scale: 2800
8 Revised Pay = total of pay in the pay band and grade pay: 12100
His fixation on 01-04-2006 on promotion as Senior Accountant will be:
1 Existing Pay Band: 5200-20200 and Existing Grade Pay: 1900
2 Pay Band applicable on promotion: 9300-34800 and Grade Pay: 4200
3 Existing Pay as on 01-04-2006: 9300
4 Existing Grade Pay: 2800
5 Total of existing pay and grade pay: 12100
6 Increment on promotion (@ 3%): 370
7 Pay after increment: 9300 + 370 = 9670
8 Grade Pay in promoted grade: 4200
9 Total of pay and grade pay: 13870
10 Minimum of pay in the promoted grade: 13500
11 Revised Pay on promotion = total of pay in the pay band and grade pay: 13870
Note there is an anomaly in this case. If the accountant opts to continue in the old pay scale and have his fixation in the revised pay scale on the date of his promotion i.e., 01-04-2006 he stands to gain a lot. On his date of promotion he will be drawing minimum of 5500 in the old scale of 5500-175-9000 after promotion. Hence on fixation in the revised scale his pay will be fixed at 14430 in the pay band 9300-34800 plus grade pay of 4200. This anomaly is a direct consequence of the merger of the scales starting at 5000, 5500, and 6500. This anomaly will have to be addressed by the authorities.
5 Pay fixation of Senior Accountant granted ACP before 01-01-2006.
A Senior Accountant after having been granted ACP before 01-01-2006 is drawing pay of 8100 in the pre-revised scale of 6500-200-10500 as on 01-01-2006. His pay fixation as on 01-01-2006 will be as follows:
1 Existing Pay Scale: 6500-200-10500
2 Pay Band Applicable: 9300-34800
3 Existing Basic Pay as on 01-01-2006: 8100
4 Pay after multiplication factor of 1.86: 15066
5 Pay in the Pay Band: 15070
6 Pay in the pay band after including benefit of bunching if any: 15070
7 Grade Pay attached to the scale: 4200
8 Revised Pay = total of pay in the pay band and grade pay: 19270
6 Pay fixation of Senior Accountant granted ACP after 01-01-2006.
A Senior Accountant is drawing 7775 in the scale of 5500-175-9000 as on 01-01-2006. He is granted ACP on 01-04-2006 in the scale of 6500-200-10500.
His pay fixation as on 01-01-2006 will be as follows:
1 Existing Pay Scale: 5500-175-9000
2 Pay Band Applicable: 9300-34800
3 Existing Basic Pay as on 01-01-2006: 7775
4 Pay after multiplication factor of 1.86: 14470
5 Pay in the Pay Band: 14470
6 Pay in the pay band after including benefit of bunching if any: 14470
7 Grade Pay attached to the scale: 4200
8 Revised Pay = total of pay in the pay band and grade pay: 18670
His fixation on 01-04-2006 on grant of ACP will be:
1 Existing Pay Band: 9300-34800 and Existing Grade Pay: 4200
2 Pay Band applicable on grant of ACP: 9300-34800 and Grade Pay: 4600
3 Existing Pay as on 01-04-2006: 14470
4 Existing Grade Pay: 4200
5 Total of existing pay and grade pay: 18670
6 Increment on ACP (@ 3%): 570
7 Pay after increment: 14470 + 570 = 15040
8 Grade Pay in higher grade: 4600
9 Total of pay and grade pay: 19640
11 Revised Pay on ACP = total of pay in the pay band and grade pay: 19640
Points to be noted in this case.
1 If the SA opts to have his pay fixed in the old scale as on 01-01-2006 and opts to have his pay in the revised scale fixed on 01-04-2006 i.e., on the date of grant of ACP he will get slightly higher fixation at 19670 on 01-04-2006 instead of 19640 as shown above. But he will lose more on account of loss of arrears of the in-between period.
2 The grade pay of 4600 is no longer present in the hierarchy of grade pay for the organized accounts set-up. However the SA will get this grade pay on being granted ACP as per the revised terms of ACP.
3 The above point leads to some anomalies. One anomaly is that SAs getting ACP before 01-01-2006 are at loss compared to those getting ACP after 01-01-2006 as can be seen if we compare example 5 and 6. This is also a consequence of the merger of the three scales starting at 5000, 5500 and 6500. This anomaly will have to be addressed by the authorities.
4 Those granted ACP just before 01-01-2006 get placed in the grade pay of 4200 on 01-01-2006 but those granted ACP after 01-01-2006 get placed in the grade pay of 4600. This is a direct consequence of the merger of the three scales starting at 5000, 5500 and 6500.

A Senior Accountant was drawing pay of 7075 as on 01-01-2006 in the scale of 5500-175-9000. Consequent on passing the JAO examination he was promoted as a JAO on 01-04-2006 in the scale of 6500-200-10500.

Hopefully I have covered all the cases of fixation that may arise in a typical Pay and Accounts Office. Fixation in respect of Data Entry Operators, Stenos, group-D and other staff has not been covered but I would like to invite suitable examples in their respect.
I have in most cases not considered applicability of bunching. However in most cases question of bunching does not arise. Still I will appreciate if someone can point out cases where bunching needs to be applied.
Most of the anomalies arise due to the merger of the scales starting at 5000, 5500 and 6500. The merger of scale in case of the organized accounts setup is primarily to address the issue of parity of Senior Accountants with Assistants of Central Secretariat Service. However you may see my previous post to understand how the issue of parity remains unaddressed even after the merger of scales.
The merger of scales in fact leads to the degradation rather than the up-gradation of Senior Accountants as can be seen in the example no. 4 above. All of the anomalies arising in the example no. 6 can be solved if Senior Accountants granted ACP before 01-01-2006 and drawing pay in the scale of 6500-200-10500 are allowed to draw grade pay of 4600 of the pre-revised scale of 7450-225-11500 on 01-01-2006. This will be most appropriate since JAOs have been upgraded to the scale of 7500-250-12500 and grade pay of 4800 and the in-between scale of 7450-225-11500 remains vacant for the organized accounts setup.
Another important point is the up-gradation of the scales of JAOs, AAOs, AOs and SAOs. This up-gradation DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY WILL BE PLACED IN THE HIGHER UPGRADED PRE-REVISED SCALES AS ON 01-01-2006 AND THEN THEIR PAY WILL BE REVISED.
Also the up-gradation of scale of JAO in the pre-revised scales from 6500-200-10500 to the scale of 7450-225-11500 and grant of the grade pay of 4800 to the JAOs DOES NOT MEAN THAT SENIOR ACCOUNTANTS GRANTED ACP IN THE SCALE OF 6500-500-10500 ALSO GET AUTOMATICALLY UPGRADED AS THE JAOS AND WILL DRAW GRADE PAY OF 4800. In fact on ACP the Senior Accountant will draw grade pay of 4600 although this grade pay is no longer there in the revised hierarchy of grade pays for the organized accounts set-up.
All the above examples have been worked out on the basis of the notification issued by the government for the implementation of revised pay rules and other orders issued till date. As of now no anomalies have been addressed or clarifications have been issued with regards to the above notification..
If anyone has any queries and doubts regarding any of the above fixation or queries of their own fixation you may post comments and I will try to address these queries.

please explain as on what basis you have increased the pay to 11560
in example 3 since both the scales are in PB-1 only.
Regards
Pradheep
In example 3 11360 is the minimum of the pay for the posts with grade pay 2800.
Anyone drawing pay in PB-1 with grade pay 2800 will have his pay fixed at least at the minimum of 11360.
Sir, you have made many things clear for us but it is hard to convince my office bosses that minimum pay plus grade pay for an SOG pass SO after 01.01.2006 will also be 18150 and not 14100(9300+4800). Is there any specific definition of minimum in this regard ?
Refer him to FRSR rule 22-1-a-i. Also refer him to rule 7 (A) (ii) of the notification. Minimum of the pay band is not applicable to all the posts or grade drawing pay in that band. This means that although Senior Accountants, JAOs, AAOs and AOs are all drawing pay in the band PB-2 9300-34800; 9300 will not be the minimum pay for all of them since they all are in different posts drawing different grade pay. Entry pay for each of the grade pays in the same pay band is defined differently. See part A section II of the notification.
Sir,
I am afraid that only if the minimum amount is less than the minimum of pay band you can step up to minimum,which means that only there is change in payban PB-1 to PB-2 then the minimum criteria should be applied and not if the promotion is in the same payband.Similarly Part A,Section II of notification deals with person who are appointed on or after 1.1.2006 and does not apply to existing employees. At the most the employees can claim annamoly at a later date.
Examine and reply

Can you please explain fixation if scales are upgraded and someone like me is working at basic of 9300in the scale of 6500 on 1.1.06 after IACP and promoted on 27.04.06 in the same scale and fixed at 9700 on 1.10.06(month of increment)
In oct 2007 upgraded to scale of 7500 after II ACP and fixed at 10000 in the scale of 7500-12000.
Now these scales are upgraded.How my pay will be fixed and when should I give my option for fixation for maximum benefit?

Sorry Ali it is 8900 on 1.1.06 and not 9300

i am new recruit appointed on 1.7.08 with basic 11750 in the scale 7500-250-12000. The entry pay in this pay band is 13350+4800.I was appointed on the 18th stage of the pre-revised scale.So how do i go from 18150 (13350+4800) to the 18 stage in the new scale? That way my basic comes to 25330+4800.Is that the right method? please give copy of rules for such example from govt. if possible, as my bosses are not convinced of my logic
In most of the departments they are confused with the minimum of the pay. Some places, for promotion cases they are just giving an increment, since ccs pay rules stating that 'if the minimum of the higher pay bandto which promotion is taking place', so 1 LDC getting promoted to 4500 scale they are not taking the entry pay as minimum instead taking 5200 as pay.
When the govt. will come out with clarifications......
I shall be grateful if you could give me a reply for this
I am a LDC after two ACP working in the scale of 5000-150-8000 from August 2000. My Basic pay on 1.1.2006 is 5750. I would like to know what grade pay I would get on fixation on 1.1.2006. GP 4200 according to the scale, 5000-150-8000 or 2400 according to hierarchy of scales in the list.
Ist appointment of LDC in the scale of 3050-75-3950-80-4590 (Grade pay 1900)
since in the hierarchy there are scale
3200-85-4590(grade pay 2000)
4000-100-6000 (Grade Pay 2400)
4500-125-7000(Grade pay 2800)
and then comes 5000-150-8000 (with grade pay 4200)
I got ACP according to the post in the office i.e. LDC to UDC scale and then from UDC to Assistant Scale. Since the revised ACP is according to the hierarchy of scales/grade pay would I get 4200 as GP or 2400 . It may please be noted I got all my ACPs before 1.1.2006 Can the revised ACP change what I have already got before 1.1.2006
I shall be grateful for a reply.

Sir, I have joined as LDC on 20-06-2006 as Basic pay of Rs. 3050/- in an Autonomous Body link to Ministry of Science & Technology, as per SPC recommondetion My pay was fixed in Pay band 5200-20200 Grade pay Rs.1900 and Pay Rs.5830 (New entry pay of GP Rs.1900) on 22.06.2009 I have promoted to the post of UDC and my pay fixed to Pay Band 5200-20200 Grade Pay Rs.2400 Pay Rs.6820 = Basic Pay is Rs.9220. My question is that sir the new entry pay of Grade pay is Rs.7510 = Basic Pay Rs.9910, then why my pay is fixed at Rs.6820, Basic Pay Rs.9220 instead of New entry pay.
Kindly Help me.........
Sir,
I am a T.O who was drawing a basic or Rs. 9100 in the pre revised scale 6500- 200 -10500 on 1.1.06. My increment month is January. I have been placed in the Pay band 8700 - 34800 with grade pay 4600 at a basic of 16930 as on 1.1.06. I have been declared eligible for ACP from 1.1.2008. I would then be eligible for a jump into the pay scale 8700 - 34800 with a grade pay of 5400, which is the pay for the next higher post (A.D.T)in our department. After seeing your blogs, i find that opting for new scale from 1.1.08 would be very much beneficial to me even though i may have to lose the arrears. Can you please advise me on this issue. Also my doubt is that if i continue drawing my pay in the old scale from 1.1.06 to 1.1.08, what are the DA percentage values to be taken into account? Because during this period, there is information only about the DA in the revised scale.
