(ii) Note 2A below Rule 7 of CCS(RP) Rules, 2008
"Where a post has been upgraded as a result of
the recommendations of the Sixth CPC…. the fixation of pay in the applicable

by a factor of 1.86 and rounding the resultant figure to the next multiple
of ten. The grade pay corresponding to the upgraded scale will be payable in

servant continues to draw his pay in the existing scale and is brought over to
the revised pay structure from a date later that the 1st day of January 2006,
his pay from the later date in the revised pay structure shall be fixed in the
following manner :-
(i) Pay in
the pay band will be fixed by adding the basic pay applicable on the later
date, the dearness pay applicable on that date and the pre revised dearness
allowance based on rates applicable as on 1.1.2006. This figure will be rounded
off to the next multiple of 10 and will then become the pay in the applicable
pay band. In addition to this, the grade pay corresponding to the pre-revised
pay scale will be payable….”
(The fitment tables given in the Annex-I to the
Department of Expenditures OM dated 30.8.2008 are to be used for pay
fixation as done on 1.1.2006 only and incase of normal replacement pay scales
as per para 2(i) and para 2(u) respectively of the aforesaid OM For fixation of
pay in the revised pay structure subsequent to 1.1.2006, the Rule 11 of
CCS(RP) Rules, 2008 refers).
2. The issue of fixation of pay with references to the
pre-revised pay scale of Rs.7450-11500 and payment of arrears was taken up by
Establishment Division of this Department with Department of Expenditure. A
clarification dated 10.12.2013 issued by Estt (Pay) is enclosed.
3. It is further clarified that inclusion in the Select List
does not ante date the seniority of the officers. However, the Select Lists as
specified in this Departments OM No.6/3/2009CS.I(S) dated 9.7.20 10 may be

D/o

Establishment
(Pay-I) Section
Vide the U.0. dated the 14th December, 2009, D/o Expenditure
had allowed fixation of pay with reference to the pre-revised pay scale of
Rs.7450-11500 to those promoted as Assistants / PAs between 1.1.2006 to
31.8.2008. They were, however, not allowed arrears from 1.1.2006 till the date
of their promotion, as they had come over to the revised pay on the date of
their promotion.
2. Seniors to such promotee Assistants / PAs, however, were
subsequently allowed stepping up of their pay with reference to these
officials. Such senior officials were also not allowed arrears on the ground
that the officials with reference to whom they had got their pay stepped up
were also not entitled toso.
3. The issue has been reconsidered in consultation with D/o
Expenditure as this amounts to compelling the senior official, who was already
serving as Assistant /PA prior to 1.1.2006 and opted for fixation of his pay
under revised pay rules from 1.1.2006, to opt for revised pay structure from
the date of stepping up with the junior.
4. It is, therefore, clarified that the senior is entitled
to arrears of pay from the date he opted to come over to the Revised Pay Scales
till the date of stepping up of pay. These will be paid on the basis of pay
actually fixed as on 1. 1.2006.
5. The CS Divisions are, therefore, advised to issue a
clarification in respect of similarly placed persons in CSS / CSSS.
