In this connection, in the OM dated 19.04.2012, it is provided that the senior PAs of CSSS who have attained ACP/ad-hoc/regular promotion prior to 1.1.2006 and are drawing less pay than PAs of CSSS who have been granted ACP/ad-hoc/regular promotion after 1.1.2006 (i.e. between 1.1.2006 and 31.8.2008) may be permitted stepping up of pay subject to certain conditions.
The conditions are:
(i) Both the junior and the senior Government servants should belong to the same cadre and the posts in which they have been promoted/financially upgraded should be identical in the same cadre.
(ii) 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.
(iii) The senior Government servants should have been drawing equal or more pay than the junior before receiving ACP/ad-hoc promotion.
(iv) The stipulations as contained in DOPT’s O.M. No.4/7/92-Estt.(Pay-I) dated 4.11.1993 along with revision of pay scales may be observed while granting such a stepping up of pay.
