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.
