In the 7th Pay Commission there are 40 stage pay are in each MATRIX LEVEL, so the stagnation pay does not arise in 40 years if in service. Increment is given every one year on completion of service from 1st July to 30th june.

No increments only promotion next MATRIX LEVEL pay fixation.

No. As per the increment rules one year completion of service and also next day you should attend duty.
I am drawing 218600+ 19400 NPA since july 2016 in stage 14 , got no incement on 1st july .as it was top of scale (npa restricted due to ceiling of 237500)
Will i get a stagnation increment on 1st july 2018.ie 218600+6400+19400.
No,Stagnation increment is always applied on next pay commision if stagnated in current pay commision.For ur case stagnation increment will be applicable in next pay commision (if u have service left till that). Besides u are on top of scale in current pay commision ,so no stagnation increment applicable for u.
NPA is not allowed in pay fixation.
