Madam/ sir ,
On 27/7/17, DOP&T issued an order with regard to pay fixation modalities for promoties adapting FR 22 1 (a)1 clause. But CCS (RP) rules 2016 does not allow FR 22 1 (a)1 clause and there was no modality for such adaption. DOP&T order appears inconsistent with CCS(RP) rules 2016.
Whether expenditure department is agreeing the decision of DOP&T ? . please confirm read receipt of this message. my phone number : 9750196113
Thanking you.
The above point of doubt is raised with various authorities in expenditure department’,
law ministry and DOPT.

It was just.so foot did.one more decision required to come from regarding fixation of pay on promotions that is as it was before 6cpc when g.pay was not there.the pay on promotions was fixed by adding one increment in lower scale and than next stage in higher scale.now since grade pay have been abolished a and pay matrix are same as of pay scales the same methodology need to be adopted to provide justice on promotions.
