OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject :- Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1986 – Fixation of pay of Government servants who opt for the revised scale of pay from a date subsequent to 1-1-1986
In accordance with the provisions contained in Rule 9 of the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1986, where a Government servant continues to draw his pay in the existing scale and is brought over to the revised scale from a date later than the 1st day of January 1986, his pay from the later date in the revised scale is to be fixed under Fundamental Rules and not under Rule 7 of the said Rules.
It has been represented that the benefit of initial fixation of pay in the revised scale under Rule of the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules 1986 should be made available in the case of those Government servants also who choose to elect the revised scale of pay from a date after 1-1-1986 i.e. with effect from the date of their next increment. The matter has been examined in consultation with the Department of Personnel & Training and has also been discussed in the Standing Committee of the National Council.
In exercise of the power available under Rule 12 of the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1986, the President is pleased to decide that the pay of Government servants drawing their increments annually who opt to switch over to the revised scale of pay from the date of their next increment falling after 1-1-1985 but not later than 31-12-1986 in respect of the post held by them on 1-1-1986 shall be fixed in accordance with the provisions of Rule 7 of the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1985
The President is further pleased to decide that the pay of Government servants drawing their increment biennially who opt to switch over to the revised scale from the date of their next increment falling after 1-1-1986. But not later than 31-12-1987 in respect of the posts held by them as on 1-1-1986 shall also be fixed in accordance with the provisions of Rule 7 of Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1986.
2. The option in the format appended as the second Schedule to Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1986 may be exercised by 31-3-1987. The option once exercised shall be final. The option available under these orders can be exercised afresh even by those Government servants who have already exercised option prior to the issue of these orders to switch over to the revised scales. However, the pay of Government servants who still opt to switch over the revised scales from any date subsequent to 31-12-1986 (in the case of those drawing increments annually) or 31-12-1987 (in case of those drawing increments biennially) as the case may be, shall be fixed in those scales under Rule 9 of the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1986.
3. Ministry of Home Affairs etc, are requested to bring the contents of these orders to the notice of all concerned expeditiously well within time so that the need for extending the date of exercising option under these orders may not arise.
4. In so far as persons serving in Indian Audit and Accounts Department are concerned, these orders issue after consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
