structure.

Explanation 3 - Where a Government servant exercises the option under the provisos to this rule to
retain the existing scale in respect of a post held by him in an officiating capacity on a
regular basis for the purpose of regulation of pay in that scale under Fundamental
Rule 22, or any other rule or order applicable to that post, his substantive pay shall be
substantive pay which he would have drawn had he retained the existing scale in
respect of the permanent post on which he holds a lien or would have held a lien had

as the case may be, date of such order, out of India on leave or deputation or
foreign service or active service, the said option shall be exercised in writing so
as to reach the said authority within three months of the date of his taking
charge of his post in India; and

(ii) where a Government servant is under suspension on the 1st day of January, 2006
, the option may be exercised within three months of the date of his return to his
duty if that date is later than the date prescribed in this sub-rule.
 (2) The option shall be intimated by the Government servant to the Head of his Office.

(3) If the intimation regarding option is not received within the time mentioned in sub-rule

the sanctioned posts, resignation, dismissal or discharge or disciplinary grounds, are entitled
to the benefits of this rule.

Note 2 - Persons who have died on or after the 1st day of January, 2006 and could not exercise the
option within the prescribed time limit are deemed to have opted for the revised pay
structure on and from the 1st day of January, 2006 or such later date as is most beneficial to
their dependents, if the revised pay structure is more favourable and in such cases, necessary
action for payment of arrears should be taken by the Head of Office.

Note 3 - Persons who were on earned leave or any other leave on 1.1.2006 which entitled them to
leave salary will be allowed the benefits of this rule.

7. Fixation of initial pay in the revised pay structure:

(1) The initial pay of a Government servant who elects, or is deemed to have elected under
sub-rule (3) of rule 6 to be governed by the revised pay structure on and from the 1st day
of January, 2006, shall, unless in any case the President by special order otherwise directs,
be fixed separately in respect of his substantive pay in the permanent post on which he
holds a lien or would have held a lien if it had not been suspended, and in respect of his
pay in the officiating post held by him, in the following manner, namely :-

(A) in the case of all employees:-

(i) the pay in the pay band/pay scale will be determined by multiplying the
existing basic pay as on 1.1.2006 by a factor of 1.86 and rounding off the resultant
figure to the next multiple of 10.

(ii) if the minimum of the revised pay band/ pay scale is more than the amount
arrived at as per (i) above, the pay shall be fixed at the minimum of the revised
pay band/pay scale;

Provided further that:-

Where, in the fixation of pay, the pay of Government servants drawing pay at two
or more consecutive stages in an existing scale gets bunched, that is to say, gets
fixed in the revised pay structure at the same stage in the pay band, then, for
every two stages so bunched, benefit of one increment shall be given so as to
avoid bunching of more than two stages in the revised running pay bands. For
this purpose, the increment will be calculated on the pay in the pay band. Grade
pay would not be taken into account for the purpose of granting increments to
alleviate bunching.
 In the case of pay scales in higher administrative grade (HAG) in the pay band
PB-4, benefit of increments due to bunching shall be given taking into account all
the stages in different pay scales in this grade. In the case of HAG+ scale, benefit
of one increment for every two stages in the pre-revised scale will be granted in
the revised pay scale.

If by stepping up of the pay as above, the pay of a Government servant gets fixed
at a stage in the revised pay band/ pay scale (where applicable) which is higher
than the stage in the revised pay band at which the pay of a Government servant
who was drawing pay at the next higher stage or stages in the same existing scale
is fixed, the pay of the latter shall also be stepped up only to the extent by which
it falls short of that of the former.

(iii) The pay in the pay band will be determined in the above manner. In addition to
the pay in the pay band, grade pay corresponding to the existing scale will be
payable.

Note - Illustration 1 on the above is provided in the Explanatory Memorandum to

these Rules.

(B) In the case of employees who are in receipt of special pay/allowance in addition to pay
in the existing scale which has been recommended for replacement by a pay band and
grade pay without any special pay/allowance, pay shall be fixed in the revised pay
structure in accordance with the provisions of clause (A) above.

(C) In the case of employees who are in receipt of special pay component with any other
nomenclature in addition to pay in the existing scales, such as personal pay for
promoting small family norms, special pay to Parliament Assistants, Central (Deputation
on Tenure) Allowance, etc., and in whose case the same has been replaced in the revised
pay structure with corresponding allowance/pay at the same rate or at a different rate,
the pay in the revised pay structure shall be fixed in accordance with the provisions of
clause (A) above. In such cases, the allowance at the new rate as recommended shall be
drawn in addition to pay in the revised pay structure from the date specified in the
individual notifications related to these allowances.

(D) In the case of medical officers who are in receipt of non-practising allowance, the pay in
the revised pay structure shall be fixed in accordance with the provisions of clause (A)
above except that, in such cases, the pre-revised dearness allowance appropriate to the
non-practising allowance admissible at index average 536 (1982 = 100) shall be added
while fixing the pay in the revised pay band, and in such cases, non-practising allowance
at the new rates shall be drawn with effect from 1.1.2006 or the date of option for revised
pay structure, in addition to the pay so fixed in the revised pay structure. Illustration 2
in this regard is at in the Explanatory Memorandum to these Rules.

Note 1 - (a) In the case of Group D employees, the pay in the revised pay structure will be fixed
initially in the -1S pay band as per Clause (A) above with the appropriate grade pay and
arrears paid accordingly. Thereafter, pay of such of those Group D employees who already
possess the revised minimum qualifications recommended by the Commission prescribed
for entry into PB-1 would be fixed with effect from 1.1.2006 in PB-1 with grade pay of
Rs.1800.
 (b) Such of those existing Group D employees who do not possess the revised minimum
qualifications for entry into PB-1 would be retrained by the concerned Department
preferably within a period of six months so that payment of arrears on account of
upgradation are not delayed. After re-training, these Group D staff will also be placed in the
Pay Band PB-1 with the grade pay of Rs.1800 with effect from 1.1.2006 and arrears drawn
accordingly. Once placed in the PB-1 Pay Band, this category of Group D staff will regain
their seniority vis-à-vis the other category of Group D staff that already possessed the
minimum qualifications and were, therefore, placed in the PB-1 Pay Band as on 1.1.2006.
Inter-se seniority of all the employees in erstwhile Group D will be fully maintained with
Group D employee in a higher pre-revised pay scale being placed higher vis-à-vis an
employee in a lower pay scale. Within the same pre-revised pay scale, seniority which
existed prior to revision would continue.

(c) Arrears shall be payable with effect from 1.1.2006 in both the cases i.e. to those Group D
employees who possess the qualifications and are placed in PB-1 straight away and those
Group D employees who do not possess the qualifications and are placed after re-training.
Illustration 3 in regard to fixation of pay for Group D staff is in the Explanatory
Memorandum to these Rules.

Note 2 - Where a post has been upgraded as a result of the recommendations of the Sixth CPC as
indicated in Part B or Part C of the First Schedule to these Rules, the fixation of pay in the
applicable pay band will be done in the manner prescribed in accordance with Clause (A) (i)
and (ii) of Rule 7 by multiplying the existing basic pay as on 1.1.2006 by a factor of 1.86 and
rounding the resultant figure to the next multiple of ten. The grade pay corresponding to the
upgraded scale as indicated in Column 6 of Part B or C will be payable in addition.
Illustration 4 in this regard is in the Explanatory Memorandum to these Rules.

Note 3 - A Government servant who is on leave on the 1st day of January, 2006 and is entitled to
leave salary shall become entitled to pay in the revised pay structure from 1.1.2006 or the
date of option for the revised pay structure. Similarly, where a government servant is on
study leave on the first day of January, 2006 he will be entitled to the benefits under these
Rules from 1.1.2006 or the date of option.

Note 4 - A Government servant under suspension, shall continue to draw subsistence allowance
based on existing scale of pay and his pay in the revised pay structure will be subject to the
final order on the pending disciplinary proceedings.

Note 5 - Where a Government servant is holding a permanent post and is officiating in a higher post
on a regular basis and the scales applicable to these two posts are merged into one scale, the
pay shall be fixed under this sub-rule with reference to the officiating post only, and the pay
so fixed shall be treated as substantive pay.

The provisions of this Note shall apply mutatis mutandis, to Government servants holding
in an officiating capacity, posts on different existing scales which have been replaced by the
revised pay structure.

Note 6 - Where the `existing emoluments’ exceed the revised emoluments in the case of any
Government servant, the difference shall be allowed as personal pay to be absorbed in future
increases in pay.

Note 7 - Where in the fixation of pay under sub-rule (1), the pay of a Government servant, who, in
the existing scale was drawing immediately before the 1st day of January, 2006 more pay
 than another Government servant junior to him in the same cadre, gets fixed in the revised
pay band at a stage lower than that of such junior, his pay shall be stepped upto the same
stage in the revised pay band as that of the junior.

Note 8 - Where a Government servant is in receipt of personal pay on the 1st day of January, 2006,
which together with his existing emoluments exceeds the revised emoluments, then, the
difference representing such excess shall be allowed to such Government servant as personal
pay to be absorbed in future increases in pay.

Note 9 - In the case of employees who are in receipt of personal pay for passing Hindi Pragya, Hindi
Typewriting, Hindi Shorthand and such other examinations under the “Hindi Teaching
Scheme”, or on successfully undergoing training in cash and accounts matters prior to the 1st
day of January, 2006, while the personal pay shall not be taken into account for purposes of
fixation of initial pay in the revised pay structure, they would continue to draw personal
pay after fixation of their pay in the revised pay structure on and from the 1st day of January,
2006 or subsequently for the period for which they would have drawn it but for the fixation
of their pay in the revised pay structure. The quantum of such personal pay would be paid
at the appropriate rate of increment in the revised pay structure from the date of fixation of
pay for the period for which the employee would have continued to draw it.

Explanation - For the purpose of this Note, “appropriate rate of increment in the
revised pay structure” means 3% of the sum of the pay in the pay band
and the grade pay at the stage at which the pay of the employee is fixed
in the revised pay structure.

Note 10 - In cases where a senior Government servant promoted to a higher post before the 1st day of
January, 2006 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, 2006, the pay in the pay band of the senior
Government servant should be stepped up to an amount equal to the pay in the pay band as
fixed for his junior in that higher post. The stepping up should be done with effect from the
date of promotion of the junior Government servant subject to the fulfillment of the
following conditions, namely: -

(a) both the junior and the senior Government servants should belong to the same
cadre and the posts in which they have been promoted should be identical in the
same cadre.

(b) the pre-revised scale of pay and the revised grade pay of the lower and higher posts
in which they are entitled to draw pay should be identical.

(c) the senior Government servants at the time of promotion should have been
drawing equal or more pay than the junior.

(d) the anomaly should be directly as a result of the application of the provisions of
Fundamental Rule 22 or any other rule or order regulating pay fixation on such
promotion in the revised pay structure. If even in the lower post, the junior officer
was drawing more pay in the pre-revised scale than the senior by virtue of any
advance increments granted to him, provision of this Note need not be invoked to
step up the pay of the senior officer.
 (2) Subject to the provisions of rule 5, if the pay as fixed in the officiating post under sub-
rule (1) is lower than the pay fixed in the substantive post, the former shall be fixed at the
stage next above the substantive pay.

8. Fixation of pay in the revised pay structure of employees appointed as fresh recruits on or after
1.1.2006 – Section II of Part A of the First Schedule of these Rules indicates the entry level pay in the pay
band at which the pay of direct recruits to a particular post carrying a specific grade pay will be fixed on
or after 1.1.2006.

This will also be applied in the case of those recruited between 1.1.2006 and the date of issue of
this Notification. In such cases, where the emoluments in the pre-revised pay scale(s) [i.e., basic pay in
the pre-revised pay scale(s) plus Dearness Pay plus Dearness Allowance applicable on the date of joining]
exceeds the sum of the pay fixed in the revised pay structure and the applicable dearness allowance
thereon, the difference shall be allowed as personal pay to be absorbed in future increments in pay.

9. Rate of increment in the revised pay structure –The rate of increment in the revised pay
structure will be 3% of the sum of the pay in the pay band and grade pay applicable, which will be
rounded off to the next multiple of 10. The amount of increment will be added to the existing pay in the
pay band. Illustration 5 in this regard is in the Explanatory Memorandum to these Rules. In the case of
PB-3, variable rates of increment at 3% and 4% have been provided. The higher rate of increment will be
granted to not more than 20% of the strength of officers in PB-3.

10. Date of next increment in the revised pay structure - There will be a uniform date of annual
increment, viz. 1st July of every year. Employees completing 6 months and above in the revised pay
structure as on 1st of July will be eligible to be granted the increment. The first increment after fixation of
pay on 1.1.2006 in the revised pay structure will be granted on 1.7.2006 for those employees for whom the
date of next increment was between 1st July, 2006 to 1stst January, 2007.

Provided that in the case of persons who had been drawing maximum of the existing scale for
more than a year as on the 1st day of January, 2006, the next increment in the revised pay structure shall
be allowed on the 1st day of January, 2006. Thereafter, the provision of Rule 10 would apply.

Provided that in cases where an employee reaches the maximum of his pay band, shall be placed
in the next higher pay band after one year of reaching such a maximum. At the time of placement in the
higher pay band, benefit of one increment will be provided. Thereafter, he will continue to move in the
higher pay band till his pay in the pay band reaches the maximum of PB-4, after which no further
increments will be granted.

Note 1 - In cases where two existing scales, one being a promotional scale for the other, are merged,
and the junior Government servant, now drawing his pay at equal or lower stage in the
lower scale of pay, happens to draw more pay in the pay band in the revised pay structure
than the pay of the senior Government servant in the existing higher scale, the pay in the pay
band of the senior government servant shall be stepped up to that of his junior from the
same date and he shall draw next increment in accordance with Rule 10.

11. Fixation of pay in the revised pay structure subsequent to the 1st day of January, 2006. - Where
a Government servant continues to draw his pay in the existing scale and is brought over to the revised
pay structure from a date later than the 1st day of January, 2006, his pay from the later date in the revised
pay structure shall be fixed in the following manner:-

(i) Pay in the pay band will be fixed by adding the basic pay applicable on the later date, the
dearness pay applicable on that date and the pre-revised dearness allowance based on
 rates applicable as on 1.1.2006. This figure will be rounded off to the next multiple of 10
and will then become the pay in the applicable pay band. In addition to this, the grade pay
corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale will be payable. Where the Government servant
is in receipt of special pay or non-practising allowance, the methodology followed will be
as prescribed in Rule 7 (i), (B),
(C) or (D) as applicable, except that the basic pay and dearness pay to be taken into
account will be the basic pay and dearness pay applicable as on that date but dearness
allowance will be calculated as per rates applicable on 1.1.2006.

12. Fixation of pay on reappointment after the 1st day of January, 2006 to a post held prior to that
date - A Government servant who had officiated in a post prior to the 1st day of January, 2006 but was
not holding that post on that date and who on subsequent appointment to that post draws pay in the
revised pay structure shall be allowed the benefit of the proviso to Fundamental Rule 22, to the extent it
would have been admissible had he been holding that post on the 1st day of January, 2006, and had
elected the revised pay structure on and from that date.

13. Fixation of pay on promotion on or after 1.1.2006 – In the case of promotion from one grade pay
to another in the revised pay structure, the fixation will be done as follows:-

(i) One increment equal to 3% of the sum of the pay in the pay band and the existing grade pay
will be computed and rounded off to the next multiple of 10. This will be added to the
existing pay in the pay band. The grade pay corresponding to the promotion post will
thereafter be granted in addition to this pay in the pay band. In cases where promotion
involves change in the pay band also, the same methodology will be followed. However, if
the pay in the pay band after adding the increment is less than the minimum of the higher
pay band to which promotion is taking place, pay in the pay band will be stepped to such
minimum.

(ii) In the case of promotion from PB-4 to HAG+, after adding one increment in the manner
prescribed in Rule 9, the pay in the pay band and existing grade pay will be added and the
resultant figure will become the basic pay in HAG+. This shall not exceed Rs. 80,000, the
maximum of the scale. For Government servants in receipt of NPA, pay plus NPA will not
exceed Rs. 85,000.

14. Mode of payment of arrears of pay - The arrears shall be paid in cash in two instalments. The
first instalment should be restricted to 40% of the total arrears. The remaining 60% of arrears should be
paid during the next financial year.

Explanation - For the purposes of this rule:

(a) “arrears of pay” in relation to a Government servant, means the difference

between:

(i) the aggregate of the pay and allowances to which he is entitled on account
of the revision of his pay and allowances under these rules, for the relevant
period. Revised allowances (except for dearness allowance and non-
practising allowance) will be payable only with effect from 1.9.2008; and

(ii) the aggregate of the pay and allowances to which he would have been
entitled (whether such pay and allowances had been received or not) for that
period had his pay and allowances not been so revised.
 (b) “relevant period” means the period commencing on the 1st day of January, 2006
and ending with the 31st August, 2008.

15. Overriding effect of Rules - The provisions of the Fundamental rules, the Central Civil Services
(Revision of Pay) Rules, 1947, the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1960, the Central Civil
Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1973, Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1986 and CCS (Revised
Pay) Rules, 1997 shall not, save as otherwise provided in these rules, apply to cases where pay is
regulated under these rules, to the extent they are inconsistent with these rules.

16. Power to relax - Where the President is satisfied that the operation of all or any of the
provisions of these rules causes undue hardship in any particular case, he may, by order, dispense with
or relax the requirements of that rule to such extent and subject to such conditions as he may consider
necessary for dealing with the case in a just and equitable manner.

17. Interpretation - If any question arises relating to the interpretation of any of the provisions of
these rules, it shall be referred to the Central Government for decision.

 MEMORANDUM EXPLANATORY TO THE CENTRAL CIVIL SERVICES
(REVISED PAY ) RULES , 2008

Rule 1 - This rule is self-explanatory.

Rule 2 - This rule lays down the categories of employees to whom the rules apply. Except for the
categories excluded under clause (2), the rules are applicable to all persons under the rule making control
of the President serving in Departments paid from Civil Estimates. They do not apply to the employees
under the Ministry of Railways and civilian personnel paid from Defence Services Estimates, for whom
separate rules will be issued by the Ministries concerned. The rules do not also apply to Gramin Dak
Sevaks in the Department of Posts. The rules, however, apply to work charged establishments.

Rule 3 & 4 - These rules are self-explanatory.

Rule 5 - The intention is that all Government servants should be brought over to the revised pay
structure except those who elect to draw pay in the existing scales. Those who exercise the option to
continue on the existing scales of pay will continue to draw the dearness allowance at the rates in force on
the 1st January, 2006 and the dearness allowance will count towards the emoluments for pension, etc. to
the extent it so counted on the said date. If a Government servant is holding a permanent post in a
substantive capacity and officiating in a higher post, or would have officiated in one or more posts but for
his being on deputation etc., he has the option to retain the existing scale only in respect of one scale.
Such a Government servant may retain the existing scale applicable to a permanent post or any one of the
officiating posts. In respect of the remaining posts he will necessarily have to be brought over to the
revised pay structure.

Rule 6 - This rule prescribes the manner in which option has to be exercised and also the authority who
should be apprised of such option. The option has to be exercised in the appropriate form appended to
the rules. It should be noted that it is not sufficient for a Government servant to exercise the option
within the specified time limit but also to ensure that it reaches the prescribed authority within the time
limit. In the case of persons who are outside India at the time these rules are promulgated, the period
within which the option has to be exercised is three months from the date they take over charge of the
post in India. In the case of Government servants the revised pay structure of whose posts are
announced subsequent to the date of issue of these rules, the period of three months will run from the
date of such announcement.

Persons who have retired between 1st January 2006 and the date of issue of these rules are also eligible to
exercise option.

Rule 7(1) - This rule deals with the actual fixation of pay in the existing scales on 1st January, 2006. A few
illustrations indicating the manner in which pay of Government servants should be fixed under this sub-
rule subject to stepping up of pay under Notes below rule 7(1) are given in the attached Annexure.

Rule 7(2) - The benefit of this rule is not admissible in cases where a Government servant has elected the
revised pay structure in respect of his substantive post, but has retained the existing scale in respect of an
officiating post.
Rule 8 - This Rule prescribes the method of fixation of pay of employees appointed as fresh recruits on
or after 1.1.2006.

Rule 9 & 10 - These rules prescribe the manner in which the next increment in the new scale should be
regulated. The provisos to this rule are intended to eliminate the anomalies of junior Government
servants drawing more pay than their senior by the operation of substantive part of this rule and also
taking care of the Government servants who have been drawing pay at the maximum of the existing scale
for more than one year as on 1.1.2006 and also those Government servants who have been stagnating at
the maximum of the existing scale and are actually in receipt of stagnation increment on ad hoc basis.

Rule 11 to 17 - These rules are self-explanatory.

(i) The pay of employees may be fixed in the Accepted with the following modifications:
proposed scales of pay in the manner laid
down in Para 2.2.21(i) to (v) of the Report. (a) Fixation of pay in the revised Pay Bands
will be done by multiplying the basic pay

pay scale.

f) Arrears shall be payable with effect

Group D employees who possess the
prescribed qualifications and those Group D

functions. This insurance cover should be extended to all the
categories that are presently in receipt of HPCA/PCA.
Simultaneously, HPCA/PCA should be withdrawn as no
rationale would exist for these allowances once the element of
risk is covered by grant of an appropriate insurance cover. The
loss incurred by the employees on this account would be more
than compensated in respect of existing Group D employees who
will be upgraded to Group C. This loss, for Group C employees,
should be compensated in form of Performance Related
Incentive Scheme. (Para No. 3.6.18)

same but the entitlements of the new recruit will be different in
 the first eight years of service. All other provisions concerning
frequency of travel under LTC are to be retained. (Para No. 4.3.5)

Travel entitlements, whether for the purpose of official

tour/transfer or LTC, should be same but no daily allowance
will be payable for travel on LTC. Further, the facility shall be
admissible only in respect of journeys performed in vehicles
operated by the Government or any Corporation in the public
sector run by the Central or State Government or a local body.
(Para No. 4.3.6)

Parents and/or step parents (stepmother and stepfather) who are

wholly dependent on the Government employee shall be
included in the definition of family for the purpose of LTC
irrespective of whether they are residing with the Government
employee or not. The definition of dependency is being linked
to the minimum family pension for all purposes. Accordingly,
all parents and/or step parents whose total income from all
sources is less than the minimum family pension prescribed in
Central Government and dearness relief thereon would be
included in the definition of family for this purpose. The extant
conditions in respect of other relations included in the family
including married /divorced /abandoned /separated
/widowed daughters shall continue without any change. (Para
No. 4.3.7)

While encashment of Earned Leave upto 10 days along with LTC

to the extent of total of 60 days may be continued, the leave
encashed at the time of availing LTC should not be deducted
from the maximum amount of Earned Leave encashable at the
time of retirement. Consequently, the employees would be
eligible to encash 300 days of Earned Leave at the time of their
retirement, even though they may have encashed Earned Leave
of upto 60 days during their career while availing LTC, whether
to their home town or to any place in India. Insofar as Railways
is concerned, the employees shall be allowed to avail of this
encashment at the time of availing of passes for a maximum of 60
days in the entire career subject to the condition that successive
encashment cannot be made before a minimum period of two
years has elapsed. (Para No. 4.3.8)
12. Ration Money Allowance for CPMF personnel Accepted

Payment of Ration Money Allowance to the CPMF personnel on

par with that available to the defence forces. Ration money
allowance should continue to be paid to only those categories of
CPMFs personnel which are presently in receipt of this
allowance. (Para No. 7.19.37)
13. Family Accommodation Allowance for CPMF personnel Accepted

Introduction of a new Family Accommodation Allowance to be

paid at the lowest rate of HRA for all the CPMFs personnel who
 are not eligible for either rent free accommodation/HRA or
CILQ. The rates of this allowance will increase by 25% each time
the price index increases by 50%. (Para No. 7.19.42)
