Sub: Stepping up of pay of Senior Assistants of CSS drawing less pay on promotion in the Section Officers Grade than their juniors - clarifications regarding


The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s OM of even number dated 20.05.2014 and to state that there has been confusion regarding the interpretation of three OMs (OM No. 5/16/80-CS.l dated 13.4.1988, OM No. 5/21/92-CS.I dated 23.2.1994, OM No. 5/1/96-CS.I dated 8.10.96) vis-a-vis general instructions issued vide OM DOP&T OM No.4/7/92-Estt.(Pay-l) dated 04.11.1993. The matter was discussed in consultation with Estt.(Pay) Division of DOP&T once again and it has been clarified that-

(1) OMs dated 13.04.1988, 23.02.1994 and 08.10.1996 and general instructions issued vide OM dated 04.11.1993 are not exclusive of each other. Since the OM dated 04.11.1993 stipulates general conditions of stepping up of pay, this should be followed even in cases covered under OMs dated 13.04.1988, 23.02.1994 and 08.10.1996. All the three OMs are to be read with and subject to the general instructions in the matter issued vide DOP&T OM dated 04.11.1993, therefore, stepping up of pay is not (NOT) to be allowed where junior was drawing more pay than the senior in the lower grade.

(2) In a nutshell, as per OMs dated 13.04.1988, 23.02.1994 and 08.10.1996, stepping up of pay of senior Assistants of CSS on promotion as Section Officer may be allowed in the following cases subject to the general instructions in the matter issued vide DOP&T OM dated 04.11.1993:

(i) Stepping up of pay of Senior DR Assistant with reference to a Junior DR Assistant recruited through a later Assistant Grade Examination on promotion as Section Officer (OM dated 13.04.1988);

(ii) Stepping up of pay of Senior DR Assistant with reference to a Junior DR Assistant recruited through a later Assistant Grade Examination on promotion as Section Officer against LDCE Quota(OM dated 23.02.1994)

(iii) Stepping up of pay of Senior Promotee Assistant with reference to a Junior DR Assistant on promotion as Section Officer (OA No.365/90-Shri K.C. Sehgal vs. UOI) and Stepping up of pay of Senior DR Assistant with reference to a Junior DR Assistant of same Assistant Grade Examination on promotion as Section Officer (OA No.869/91-Shri L.K. Chawla vs. UOI) (OM dated 08.10.1996).

As per the records available in this office, a number of Section Officers included in the said order have not been relieved by the Cadre Units concerned as yet.

2.    Non-compliance of RTP orders by various Cadre Units has led to various administrative difficulties for DOP&T in smooth cadre management. DOP&T is well aware of the fact that large number of vacancies exist across the 42 Cadre Units and necessary action has already been taken up by DOP&T by intimating 992 vacancies to UPSC for Limited Departmental Competitive Examinations(LDCEs) 2009, 2010 & 2011. Once result is declared, which is expected shortly, almost all the vacancies in all the Cadre Units would be filled up.

3.    This is a transitional phase and Cadre Units are requested to co¬operate with DOP&T during this phase. It is, therefore, once again requested that all the officers mentioned in the annexure may be relieved immediately.
