An Office Memorandum (OM) on the security of the Central Government employee’s pay for the appointment of a new central government post in different service or executive offices, has been provided by the Department of Personnel and Training of the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions through Direct Recruitment where there are higher duties and responsibilities, as the case may be, under FR 22-B(1), in the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Scenario.
The OM further notes that the President is happy to grant the security of salaries to Central government employees, named to be probators for another service or to exercise a high-level duty or not under FR 22-B(1), according to the implementation of the 7th report of the CPC and the CCS (RP) law, 2016 and then confirm it. The order comes into effect on 1 January 2016.
According to the OM, following various references to the security of pay under FR 22B(1) from the Ministries / Departments it was appropriate to provide guidelines on the way of fixing the salary of a central government employee appointed to the post of new workers in the various central government services, or the structures, through direct recruitment, wherever possible.
The salary security shall be as follows:
a) An employee of the Central Government who is appointed to a position of greater importance in different central government services or officials than those assigned to a role he held regularly before the appointment and who has been granted the probation in the new post, may receive the presumptive pay for the post held earlier by him on a regular basis if it is higher than the minimum of the Time Scale of the new post.
b) Upon appointment to an equivalent position in different central government offices or exercise officers, through direct recruitment, a central government staff member where there are no higher duties or obligations and a probation duration in the new post can, during probation, draw the presumptive pay for the post held earlier by the employee regularly. He will also be paying such a presumptive salary for his stages. Once his probation is effectively completed, his pay shall be set in compliance with FR 22(l)(a)(2).
