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.

DIRECTOR
I was promoted to the higher post in the same office wef 01.09.2018 and I was present on the day at office and fulfilled my duties. Being Saturday, my date of charge assumption was not accepted by admin wef 01.09.2018. Instead, it is considered wef 03.09.2018 (Monday). Pay fixation in the higher post was done wef 03.09.2018. As I was on duty as on 01.09.2018, I become eligible to assume charge as on 01.09.2018 and get monetary benefits from the same day.
Someone please clarify.
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.
R.H. is a just like permission. If C.L. also increment is allowed.
