The existing basic pay shall be multiplied by a factor of 2.57 and the figure so arrived at shall be added to by an amount equivalent to Dearness Allowance on the pre‐revised Non‐Practicing Allowance admissible as on 1st day of January, 2016. The figure so arrived at will be located in the applicable Level in the Pay Matrix and if such an identical figure corresponds to any Cell in the applicable Level, the same shall be the pay.

(6) Where in the fixation of pay under sub‐rule (1) the pay of a Government employee, who, in the existing pay structure was drawing more pay than another Government servant junior to him in the same grade in the cadre immediately before the 1st day of January,2016 , gets fixed in the revised pay structure in a Cell lower than that of such junior , his pay shall be stepped up to the same Cell in the revised pay structure as that of the junior.

(7) In the case where a senior Government employee promoted to a higher post before the 1st day of January,2016 draws less pay in the revised pay structure than his junior who is promoted to the higher post on or after the 1st day of January, 2016 , the pay of senior Government servant in the revised pay structure shall be stepped up to an amount equal to the pay as fixed for his junior in that higher post and such stepping up shall be done with the approval of the Government with effect from the date of promotion of the junior Government servant subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions, namely :‐

higher posts in which they are entitled to draw pay should be identical ;

(c) the senior Government employee at the time of promotion was drawing equal or more pay than the junior ;
