Fixation of Pay on Promotion 

from 

Lower to Upper Post.

When a Govt. employee (incumbent) gets promotion from lower scale to upper scale , his Pay (Pay in the pay band +Grade pay) need to be fixed by two ways:-

(1) Pay Fixation Straightway  (2) Pay Fixed on the Basis of Option Exercised by the incumbent

(1) Pay Fixation Straightway : In this case the incumbent will get one notional increment i.e 3% of Basic pay  of the lower Post on the date of promotion and then the amount rounding of 10 will be added to the that basic pay Finally  the Grade Pay of lower post will be deducted and the Grade Pay of higher post will be added to fix his pay straightway on the date of promotion.

(2) Pay Fixed on the Basis of Option Exercised by the incumbent: If a Govt. employee exercises his/her option (within 30 days from the date of promotion)  to come under higher post after getting Annual increment on 1st July he /she will get two increments on first Day of July (a) @3% of basic pay ,annual and another (b) @3% of the basic pay as promotional , both the cases the Basic pay of lower post will be taken for calculation . Finally the Grade Pay of Promotional post will be added excluding the Grade Pay of Lower Post to Fix his/her Pay on 1st day of July as per the option.
