  1. An employee was promoted to the grade pay of Rs.4,800/- (Payband 9300-34000) in PB 2 in the month of May, 2013. After completion of 4 years, the employee is eligible for the grade pay of Rs. .5400/-, as per the said pay scale. The emplyee is completing the 4 years of service in the month of May, 2017. My question is whether the officer is elibible for the grade of Rs.5400/- even after opting for pay as per 7th pay commission. If so, relevant order pertaining to the above may please be informed

  2. Correction:-
    The date of appointment may be read as 31-12-1976 instead of 31-12-2016: The error is regretted.
    The corrected commented is as follows:-
    …..
    It’s reported that an Employee appointed on the AN of 31-12-1976 in a post equivalent to pre-revised pay scale i.e. as on 1-1-2006 in PB 2 with PB Rs.4800/- (Notional) retired on the AN of 31-08-2010 after getting three promotions. His last basic Pay plus Grade Pay of Rs.6600/- works out to Rs.34,150/ as on 31-08-2010- on the date of retirement. Had he continued in the lower post as per fitment table approved in the Matrix, on the same date i.e. 31-08-2010, (after put in 33 years of Service, his Pay as per Matrix) will be fixed at Rs. 1,22,900/- but for his promotion. Hence he is entitled to fix his pay at Rs.1,22,900/- as Basic Pay in the lower post The same employee even after getting three promotions, his pay was fixed only at Rs.88,400/- as per Matrix approved for PB3 with GP 6600/- as on 31-08-2010. thus depriving him a difference in basic Pay LESSER to the tune of Rs.34,500/- which means had he not promoted, he would have got fixed his Basic Pay at Rs.1,22,900/- but for his promotion(s) consequently he is entitled to a basic Pension of Rs.66,450/- whereas in spite of his three promotion, his basic Pay in the higher post will be only Rs.88,400/- and entitled to a LESSER basic Pension of Rs.44,200/- The person who got promoted to Higher Post will be getting lesser basic Pay & less basic Pension while the same individual continued in the LOWER post for 33 years, he would have got his Pay fixed at higher Level i.e. Rs.1,22,900/- as per Matrix now approved . The anomaly Committee should look into this aspect & allow higher basic Pay & Pension to the affected to step up their basic Pay & Pension as per Pay Matrix now approved. Specific clarification on this issue should be given by Govt.
