Is attendance compulsory for Central Government employees on the implementation day (01.01.2016) of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations?
Attendance on Increment Date Should be Must?
Central Government employees are wondering if there will be any consequences of taking leave on January 1, 2016, the date of implementation of the 7th Pay Commission report.
The recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission regarding the salaries and perks for the Central Government employees will come into effect from January 1, 2016 onwards. Many are curious to find out the connection between the date of implementation of 7th CPC and reporting to work on the day.
Normally, the date of joining work, date of getting the promotion, date of receiving the increments, transfer date, and retirement dates are very important for a Central Government employee.
In the average service period of a Central Government employee, he/she is likely to witness two or three Pay Commissions. Keeping this in mind, it would be better to not absent oneself on January 1, 2016.
“All Central Government employees are advised to report to work on January 1, 2016 (Friday).”
“This is especially so for those who are on long leave. It will help them avoid a lot of problems in future.”
“If 01.01.2016 is announced as a holiday, it will be better to report to work the next day.”
If the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission are going to be implemented from 01.01.2016 onwards, then the employees will have to come to work that day to accept these recommendations. If he/she is absent on the day, then the day they return to work will be treated as the day they had accepted the new recommendations.
If an employee not to report on the date of implementation, this could delay the benefits of the 7th Pay Commission. This could also cause financial losses too due to pay revision as per the recommendations of new pay commission.
Since the government rules are bound to be changed arbitrarily, one can never be sure of the kind of troubles it could cause them. Therefore, it is better to go to work on 01.01.2016.
Even those who are on long leave for any particular reason are advised to report to work on January 1, 2016 at least and then continue with their leave. This will help them avoid a lot of problems.

Sir my annual increment after getting macp on 1/07/20 was due on 01/01/2021..since I had completed six months of continuous service on 31/12/2020.
But winter vacation starts from 01/01/2021 and the head prepared roster as per covid guidelines for winter vacation, in which I was supposed to come on 04/01/2021.
So I joined suti on 04/01/2021.
I am eligible for my annual increment due on 01/01/21?
Increment is eligible only from joining duty on 4-1-21 only if you’re given option increment from January.

The 7th Pay commission is confusing. witll the rules of attendance on 1st January 2016 will also imply to those who are on maternity leave . The maternity leave is sanctioned base on the maternity act and as such they are deemed to present
This is not so fair.
Even if the official attends duty on 1.1.2016 and again proceeds on CCL from 2.1.2016, the leave availed from 28.12.2015 to 28.1.2016 will be considered as one spell.
