OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Date of next increment in cases where Government servants are not able join posts in a particular grade pay on promotion/appointment on 1st of January of a year due to Sunday or Gazetted Holiday – Clarification regarding.
As per the provisions of Rule 10 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, w.e.f. 1.1.2006, in the case of all Central Government employees there is a uniform date of increment, i.e. 1st July of every year.
Government servants completing six months and above in the revised pay structure as on 1st of July are eligible to be granted the increment. From the above provision of CCS (RP) Rules it flows that Government servants who have rendered less than 6 months of service as on 1st of July of a year will not be eligible to draw increment on that day and their date of increment will fall 12 months later on the next 1st of July.
Accordingly, all the Government servants who join posts in a particular grade on account of promotion / appointment etc., on 1st of January of a year will be eligible to draw their annual increment on the 1st of July of that year. However, those who join the posts between 2nd January and 30th June, will not be eligible for the same.
In the light of the above position, some administrative departments have sought clarification from this Department regarding date of next increment in cases where Government servants are not able join posts in a particular grade pay on promotion / appointment on 1st of January of a year due to 1st of January falling on a Sunday or Gazetted holiday.
In this connection, it is clarified that in the normal course, if a Government servant was to join post in a grade pay on appointment / promotion on 1st of January of the year happened to be a Sunday or Gazetted holiday, the Government servants who join posts on the 1st working day of the year will be treated to have completed 6 months of service on 1st of July of that year for the purpose of granting them annual increment on that day.

What Is my next increment ?
Mr. Maurya,
You are not suppose to deny your annual increment, as per the FR SR Rule, if a Government employee is on leave on the 1st July, the increased pay will be drawn only from the date on which he resume duty and not from the first of July. That’s all. You are eligible for annual increment from 3rd July, 2019.
30/6/19 is Sunday, so you can apply 2 days C.L. then you will be given increment from 1/7/19.
Sir i relieved from old duty station wef 28.06.19 and joined the new duty station on 29.06.19 without availing journey period,. I have an urgent work on 01.07.19. Now the question is that if i take cl for 01 jul, am i able to get increment on 01 jul or from 02nd jul
If you are on C.L. on 1/7/19 your increment will be given from 1/7/19.
I am going out of station on 28.6.2019 for 15 days to attend marriage function. I will come on 10.7.2019. Is it compulsory to present on 1.7.2019 for increment. I will b in loss every month if i will not present on 1.7.2019
If you are not on 1/7/19 increment day after joining date (10/7/19) you will get increment on that month as a pro-rate of increment, next month you will get full increment.
Sir

Sir,
I joined the present office on 2nd July, 2018 on promotion from the post of AO to CoA after getting relieved from the old station on 29-6-2018 from the post of AO. As 30th June and 1st July 2018 were closed holidays (Saturday and Sunday) I could join the new post at new station on 2nd July 2019 only. Kindly enlighten me with rule position regarding my 1st increment on promotion. Opinion of our Accounts section is that I am eligible to draw my 1st increment on 1-7-2019 as at I have not completed 6 months qualifying service for 1st increment as per 7th CPC .. Kindly give clarification on this .matter.
In my opinion since it is same departmental promotion you are having joining time with journey time & you are eligible for increment in your AO post from your previous office. In view of this at least your service are continuing, you should get old matrix level increment. Clarify your matrix level has been changed due to your higher post, (normally from the 7th CPC there is no pay scales for promotions, except upgradation of MACP), In that aspect you are eligible increment on 1/7/19 in next higher matrix level with pay proctored.
I joined PSU on 2nd January 2007 as 30th Dec. 2006 was weekly off, 31st Dec. 2006 was Sunday & 1st January 2007 was Id Ul Zua – Gazetted Holiday. 2nd Pay Revision was announced on 26th November 2008 w.e.f 1st January 2007. I wad denied of Pay Revision Benefit by the organisation stating I joined organisation on 2nd January 2007 instead of 1st January 2007. There were three consecutive Holidays and Govt. Circular cannot be made effective from Sunday or Holiday. I also gave a letter to the organisation that I shall be joining the organisation on 26th Dec. 2006 but company asked to join on 2nd January 2007 as offices will be closed on account of Holiday. Kindly advise, how to address this issue ? I am the seniormost officer in my department and four level junior is drawing salary higher than me.
NOTE : Difference of 2 days salary on 1 & 2/1/17 (between new pay fixation 29/3 minus old pay 2/31 ) not your fixation of basic pay every month. Rule : Pay fixation on joining duty only, some of them may joins duty more than any numbers of days/months/years.
My last increment date was 5th January 2018 and 1st January 2019 I have compulsory rest and from 2nd January to 12nd January as LAP. Shall I able to get increment from 1st January 2019?
The date of annual increment for one of our staff is on 1st January, and she availed Restricted holiday on that day. Now the matter is refer to me and my opinion is that she is eligible for increment on 1st January as she enjoy a sanctioned holiday, not a leave but I could not quote any relevant rule.

m govt. servant of Manipur state. my promotion falls on 1.1.2019 due to retirement of senior officer on 31 December 2018, but authority is not in my favour to give promotion on 1st january and so they gave my promotion with effect from 2nd January. and has force me to take option for increment of promotion which i really dont like. plz advice.

Sir my Joining 2nd Jan’2018 so tell me my increment due 1st July’2019
Since the order was charged your increment may be from 1/1/2019, because you have fully 6 months completed from 1/7/18 to 31/7/18.
In case of a new appointment (fresh joining) in any department of central Govt. if that employee joined the department on 2nd January (as 1st January was Sunday) Under 7th pay commission (Joining date 02/01/2017) , will that the employee be eligible for his first increment in 01/07/2017 or does he have to wait till 01/01/2018? As in 6th pay It is mentioned that in case the 1st January is holiday or Sunday then the 1st working day of the year will be treated to have completed 6 months of service on 1st July of that year. So according to that will that employee be eligible for his first increment on 1st July of the same year in 7th pay commission also?
In view of the Min. of Finance O.M.F.No.1/1/2008-IC dt.13/3/2009 there is no change in this O.M. continues in 7th CPC as it is acceptable increment on 1/7/2017. Previously actually one year has to complete service then only first increment will be given.

Dear sir,
I joined in service 30 January 2012, i got 1 year 5 months late increment, till to now i did’t get any promotion, so is their any chance to get increment in january.
Thanking you sir
From the 6th CPC increment is from July to June on completion one year increment in July only, not from the joining date/month. Moreover if any up-gradation in pay from July to December on completion of six months then the increment will change in January only.
My joining date 19.03.2012 and i promoted after 5 year on 19.03.2017. in the joining year my increments done after 16 months and in the promotion year my increment done will be after 9 months. now i suffering both of the cases. Is that any clarification please tell me
From the joininng year increment should complete one-year, normal increment is from July only.i.e. from 7/13. Next you got promotion in 3/17 got higher next grade so you got before increment then on completion of 6 month in promotion from July to December your increment was fixed from January 2018. Your next increment will be on 1/1/2019.
If the increment is released on 1st July 2017 and the government servant is on leave or absent on 1st July 2018 and joins on 3rd July 2018 then when to release the increment? Is it on 1st July or 3rd July?
If the leave is C.L on 2nd , increment from 1/7/18, EL./COMMITTED LEAVE/E.O.L it will be only increment from 3rd or joining duty on that day.
whether this rule is appicable for new appointments also
Please tell me what will be result if a govt employee joins on 2nd april2012, 1st being sunday, now can he wll be eligible for promotion for completed 5years of service as on 01st april, 2017??????…please help
Is it applicable to those officials only who get promoted on 1st of january? Please clarify it if promotion happens to be on other date and falls on saturday and sunday or gazzeted holiday.how to fix dni in other case.
I think the service Rules are Framed for the smooth functioning of the offices and for the benefit of the employees. Therefore, the Rule 10 of CCS (RP) Rules 2008 appears to be meaningless.
From the language only the office order u have attached herein does not look like an authentic/original one. moreover, this is very surprising that there is no specific order/rule regarding this matter even as it is a matter of serious concern for all CG employees. Everyone has only guess and suggestion but no concrete answer. Very sad.
