no. 14034/01/2013·Estt (D) dated 03.10.2013.

- The Nodal Ministry has advised that:

inter alia states that the personal pay will be related to the Grade Pay
corresponding to the post against which the employees or will earn the
personal pay. From the words ” had initially earned or will earn” it may
be understood that the intention of the OM dated 19.09.2013 was not
only to revise the rates of the then existing rate of personal pay for
those who will earn it after 01.09.2013, but also for the employee
concerned who had already earned it prior to 01.09.2013.

increment in the form of personal pay to Central Government Servants

International importance, in the 7th CPC Scenerio". From the subject
itself it may be inferred that it is for Central Government Servants and
it does not distinguish between players, umpires, referees, coaches
etc.
c) In view of the position at 3(a) and 3(b), it is clarified that
DoPT's OMs dated 19.09.2013 and 11.06.2018 are applicable in the instant
case and they may examine the instant case accordingly.

regard, action may kindly be taken in similar case only on the basis of
the above advice and in any case of deviation from the above, the advice
of the Directorate may be sought for.
