QUS-3 In the pre-revised scales of pay, the employees on promotion have the option of fixing their pay in the prescribed post after earning an increment in the lower post under FR 22 (1)(a)(i). It may kindly be confirmed whether the same option can be exercised in the revised pay structure and if so, the mode of fixation may kindly be clarified.
ANS :A Government Employee promoted on or after 1-1-2006 in the prerevised pay scale may opt to have his pay fixed in the revised pay scale after earning an increment in the lower post under FR 22(1) (a) (i) in the pre-revised scale. On the date of promotion difference in Grade Pay among the feeder post and promotion post shall be allowed. The pay shall be regulated in the promotion post after sanctioning three per cent of basic pay including grade pay on the normal date of increment in the lower post and then another three per cent of basic pay including grade pay in the promotion post shall be granted.

QUS-4 It has been ordered that for some of the posts in the pre-revised scales at Rs.5500—175—9000 & Rs.5700—175—9200 the scale of pay has been upgraded as Rs.7000—225—11500.
Similarly, the scale of pay of Rs.6500—200— 10500 has been upgraded as Rs.7500—250— 12000. It has been ordered that the above upgraded scales take effect from 12-12-2007. In this connection, it is presumed that the employees in the pay scales before upgradation can exercise their option to remain in the pre-revised scale and have their pay fixed in the upgraded scales of Rs.7000—11500 / Rs.7500— 12000 on or after 12-12-2007 under FR 22 (1)(a)(i), FR 22 B and then opt for fixing their pay in the revised scale of pay, which may be done by multiplying 1.86 factor on the date of such fixation. In such cases, it is presumed that the
employees have to forego their arrears up to the above fixation.
ANS :The employees opting for the upgraded scales in the prerevised scales (i.e) Rs.7000— 11500 / Rs.7500—12000 shall be entitled for fixation of pay in the upgraded pre-revised scale of pay with effect from 12—12—2007 with reference to the provisions under FR 23 as followed in the fixation of pay of Assistant Section Officers in Secretariat and then under the revised scale adopting fitment benefit as per Rule 4(1) of Tamil Nadu Revised Scales of Pay Rules, 2009. The employees opting for fixation of pay in the revised pay scales with effect from 12—12—2007 shall have to forego the arrears upto the date of above fixation.

QUS 5:It is stated that in the pre-revised pay scales certain categories of employees were enjoying higher start of pay / incentive / advance increment, etc., by virtue of acquiring higher qualification / passing of departmental tests. It is presumed that the above scheme may be continued in the revised structure by awarding increments as per the quantum prescribed.
ANSPresumption is confirmed. However such higher start / incentive increments / advance increments sanctioned in the pre-revised pay scales and taken into account while fixing the pay in the revised pay scales, shall not be granted again in the revised pay scales.

QUS In certain cases the option may be exercised at a later date thereby resulting lesser/nil drawal of arrears, which may be lesser than the 3 months Interim Arrears already paid as on 1-1-2009. In such cases, it may kindly be clarified as how to regulate the Interim Arrears paid.
ANS In the case of employees opting for revised scale of pay at a later date beyond 1-1-2006 by virtue of foregoing the arrears thereby resulting lesser / nil drawal of arrears, in such cases the Interim Arrears shall be recovered from the salary of the employees concerned in subsequent months spreading over a maximum period of 10 months or from DCRG in case of employees retiring within the said period. Further, in the case of employees who opt for a later date after 1-1-2006, the pay fixing authorities shall also simultaneously
obtain a declaration along with the option form from the individual employees to the effect that they agree to repay the excess paid amount of interim arrears in instalments or from the DCRG in case of retiring employees as the case may be.

QUS In the Government Order third cited, it has been ordered that the revised ceiling on Medical Reimbursement will have to be reckoned from the date they have opted to come over to the revised pay scales.
ANSThe employees opting for subsequent date after 1-1-2006 will be comparatively very less. Hence the 30% ceiling on medical re-imbursement should be reckoned based on the notional pay including Grade Pay that the employee would have been entitled had he opted for the revised pay scales on 1-1-2006.

QUS It is ordered in the Pension G.O. that the monetary benefit should be given effect from 1-1-07. In this connection, it is requested to clarify whether this order is applicable for one time payment of difference of amount for encashment of Earned Leave / Unearned Leave on Private Affairs / DCRG. due to the revision of new scale as on 1-1-06 for the retirees from 1-1-06 to 31-12-06. If so, it may kindly be stated whether the differential amount for the retirees during the above period may be paid in three instalments.
ANSAs the employees retired between 1-1-2006 and 31-12-2006 are entitled for notional pay fixation in the revised scales of pay, the undrawn pay shall be reckoned for sanctioning pensionary benefits consequent on the implementation of the Revised Scales of Pay. Therefore, the difference amount of encashment of Earned Leave / Unearned Leave on Private Affairs / DCRG due to revision of scales of pay in respect of the retirees from 1-1-2006 to 31-05-2009 shall be disbursed in three equal annual instalments as specified in the
Government Orders cited.

QUS:The upper ceiling limit for pension is fixed as 50% of the maximum pay, that is Rs.67,000 + Grade Pay Rs.10,000/-. The ready reckoner has been prepared upto Rs.49,494/- (maximum). It is presumed that the amount to be restricted to upper ceiling limit fixed is Rs.38,500/- (i.e. Rs.67,000 + Rs.10,000 = Rs.77,000 / 2 =Rs.38,500)
ANS Yes. The presumption is confirmed.

QUS :As per G.O.Ms.No. 200, Finance (Pay Cell) Department, dated: 18-5-99, the employees who have retired prior to 1-1-2006 are eligible for pension at the rate of half of pay last drawn or half of the minimum of the time scale of the posts in which the pensioners served, whichever is beneficial. It may kindly be clarified whether the same provisions in the G.O. may be applied for revising the pension of such pensioners. It may also be clarified whether the benefit under G.O.Ms.No. 200, Finance (Pay Cell)
Department, dated: 18-5-99 may be extended to those who retired prior to 1-1-2006.
ANS:In cases where the quantum of Pension / Family Pension with reference to 50% / 30% of the minimum of the time scale of pay of the post with effect from 1-1-2006 is higher than the quantum of revised pension indicated in Annexure--V of G.O. second cited, in such cases alone the Pension should be fixed with reference to para 2(vi) of the G.O. second cited. The benefit of 50% / 30% Pension / Family Pension with reference to minimum of the revised time scale of pay of the post held by such employees as on 1-1-2006 shall also apply to the employees retired / died prior to 1—1—2006.

QUS:In the case of persons transferred from one office to another unit may be clarified that without calling for the Pay Drawn particulars from the previous station, the same may be obtained from the Service Register of the individuals concerned in order to avoid the delay in claiming the arrears.
ANS Yes. However, Non--Drawal Certificate may be obtained from the previous office where the individual employees worked before claiming arrears.

QUS In respect of the employees on Foreign Service, it is presumed that the fixation of pay will be done by the Department of the individual concerned and Foreign employer will make payment of arrears for the service rendered in Foreign Service, while, for the services rendered in the Government side, the respective Departmental Officer will be making payment of arrears.
ANS Yes. Presumption is confirmed.

QUS Whether entries have to be made regarding the payment of Pay Commission Arrears in the
Service Register of the employees concerned?
ANS Yes. In addition to opening separate Register for this purpose as ordered in the G.O cited, entries on the entitled arrears amount shall be made in the Service Registers of the individual employees, so that the employees on transfer can claim the subsequent instalments of arrears in the office in which they are working on the strength of the entries made in the Service Register.

QUS In the case of employees whose increment falls on 1st January 2006, it is presumed that such employees shall have the option to draw the increments either in the existing scale or in the revised scale of pay.
ANS Yes. The presumption is confirmed

QUS: Methodology for rounding off:- Whether rounding off to the next multiple of 10 has to be done in terms of rupees or even a paise has to be rounded off to multiple of 10 while sanctioning increments?
ANS:In the case of calculation of increment under the revised pay structure fraction of a rupee (i.e. 99 paise and below) should be ignored. But any amount of a rupee or more should be rounded off to the next multiple of 10. To illustrate, if the amount of increment comes to Rs.750.70 paise, then the amount has to rounded off to Rs. 750/- only and if the amount of increment works out to Rs.751/-, then only it shall be rounded off to Rs. 760/-.

QUS:Whether the commutation difference consequent on revision of scale of pay of employees retired between 1-1-2006 and 31-5-2009 and consequent revision of pension has to calculate with reference to old commutation table or the, revised table given in G.O.Ms.No.235, Finance (PC) Department, dated: 1-6-2009?
ANS:In these cases the commutation based on the revised pension shall be calculated with reference to the revised table and the commutation amount drawn with reference to old rate shall be adjusted and the difference amount of commutation so calculated shall be paid in three installments.

January, 2006 in the existing scales of pay, which as per the
existing rules should be absorbed in the increments, will
continue to be drawn in the revised pay and will be absorbed
in future increments and as such this will not be included in
the basic pay defined in clause (a) above.
(ii) In the case of employees drawing personal pay in the existing
scales of pay, which as per the existing rules / orders should
not be absorbed in the increments, such personal pay shall be
treated as pay for purpose of clause (a) above and will be
discontinued in the revised pay.
(b) “existing emoluments” mean the sum of (i) existing basic pay +
personal pay (if admissible), (ii) dearness pay with reference to the
basic pay and (iii) dearness allowance appropriate to the basic pay
plus dearness pay at an index average 536 (1982 = 100).

specified in the Schedule.
(d) “Grade pay” is the fixed amount corresponding to the pre-revised pay
scales / posts.
(e) “Basic pay “ in the revised pay structure means the pay drawn in the
prescribed pay band plus the applicable grade pay but does not include

12
3. (1) Revised Scale of Pay of Posts : -- The revised scale of pay for the
existing scale of pay specified in column (2) of Schedule—I shall mean the revised
pay specified in column (3) and grade pay specified in column(5) thereon.
(2) Application of Revised Scales of Pay : -- Save as otherwise
provided in these Rules, there shall be paid to holders of all posts in a substantive or
in officiating capacity or appointed temporarily under rule 10 (a) (i) or promoted
temporarily under rule 39(a)(i) of the General Rules for the Tamil Nadu State and
Subordinate Service Rules (including those under suspension or on deputation or on
foreign service or on leave or suspended lien) pay calculated in the revised scales
of pay.
4. Fixation of Pay in the revised pay structure:-- The initial pay of a
Government employee who elects to be governed by the revised pay structure from
1st January 2006 shall be fixed separately in respect of his substantive pay in the
permanent post on which he holds a lien or would have had a lien if it had not been
suspended and in respect of his pay in the officiating post held by him, in the
following manner, namely :--
(1) In the case of all employees :--
(i) The pay in the pay band / pay scale shall be determined by multiplying
the existing basic pay as on 1—1—2006 by a factor of 1.86 and
rounding off the resultant figure to the next multiple of 10.
(ii) If the minimum of the revised pay band / pay scale is more than the
amount arrived at as per (i) above, the pay shall be fixed at the
minimum of the revised pay band / pay scale;
(iii) Where, in the fixation of pay, the pay of Government employees
drawing pay at two or more consecutive stages in the existing scale
gets bunched, that is to say gets fixed, in the revised pay structure at
the same stage in the pay band, then for every two stages so bunched,
benefit of one increment shall be given so as to avoid bunching of
more than two stages in the revised running pay bands. For this
purpose, the increment will be calculated on the pay in the pay band
only and grade pay should not be taken into account for the
purpose of granting increments to alleviate bunching.
(iv) In the case of pay scales in Higher Administrative Grade (HAG) in the
Pay Band—4, benefits of increments due to bunching shall be given
taking into account all the stages in different pay scales in this grade.
(v) If by stepping up of the pay as above, the pay of a Government
employee gets fixed at a stage in the revised pay band / pay scale
(where applicable) which is higher than the stage in the revised pay
an employee who was drawing pay at the next higher stage or stages
in the same existing scale is fixed, the pay of the latter shall also be
stepped up only to the extent by which it falls short of that of the
former.
13
(vi) the pay in the pay band will be determined in the above manner. In
addition to the pay in the pay band, grade pay corresponding to the
existing scale will be payable.
NOTE :-- See Illustration -- 1 to 9 in Schedule—III to these rules.
(2) If a Government employee is on leave on 1st January 2006, he shall be
entitled to the revised pay structure from that date, but the pay so fixed in the revised
scale shall be admissible to him only from the date of his return to duty in the post
after the expiry of leave and the period commencing on the 1st January 2006 and
ending with the date of such return will count for future increment in the revised pay
structure depending on whether it will count for future increments in the existing
scale.
(3) Similarly where a Government employee is on study leave on the first
day of January, 2006 he will be entitled to the benefits under these Rules from
1—1—2006 or the date of option.
(4) A Government employee who on the 1st January 2006 is on leave
preparatory to retirement, shall be entitled to choose his pay either in his substantive
post or in the officiating post in the revised scale with effect from date for the purpose
of computing his gratuity and pension.
(5) If a Government employee was under reduction of pay or stoppage of
increment as a penalty on the 1st January 2006 his pay shall be fixed in the revised
pay structure on the basis of present emoluments he drew on the 1st January 2006
and he shall continue to draw the pay so fixed in the revised scale till the expiry of
the period of penalty. His pay in the revised scale shall be refixed immediately
following the date of expiry of the period of penalty with reference to the present
emoluments which he would have drawn on the 1st January, 2006 taking the fact into
consideration whether the penalty awarded is with or without cumulative effect. If,
for instance, a Government employee’s increment falling due on the 1st January,
2006 had been postponed for a year without cumulative effect, his actual present
emoluments as on the 1st January 2006 would be the basis for determination of his
revised pay with effect from the 1st January, 2006 and the pay so fixed shall be in
force upto the 31st December 2006. However, for purpose of determination of his
pay with effect from 1st January 2007 his pay on the 1st January 2006 shall be refixed
notionally based on the present emoluments which he would have received on the
1st January 2006 but for his penalty and he will get the next increment on the 1st
January 2007 from that stage.
(6) If, however, the penalty of stoppage of increment due on the 1st January
2006 had been awarded with cumulative effect, the revised pay shall be fixed based
on the actual present emoluments as on the 1st January 2006. There shall be no
refixation of pay in this case.
(7) If a Government employee is under suspension on the 1st January 2006,
or if he was discharged or reverted from a post before that date and is reappointed
to that post after that date, he shall be entitled to the revised scales of pay only from
the date on which he returns to duty in the post or from the date of his reappointment
to that post.
14
5. Rectification of anomaly of Junior getting more pay than Senior :--
(1) In cases where a senior Government employee appointed to a higher post
before the 1st day of January, 2006 draws less pay in the revised pay structure than
his junior who is appointed to the higher post on or after the 1st day of January, 2006,
the pay in the pay band of the senior Government employee should be stepped up to
an amount equal to the pay in the pay band as fixed for his junior in that higher post.
The stepping up should be done with effect from the date of appointment of the
junior Government employee subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions,
namely :--
(a) both the junior and the senior Government employees should belong
to the same category and should have been promoted to the same
post.
(b) the pre-revised scale of pay and the revised scale of pay along with
grade pay of the lower and higher posts to which they are entitled to
draw pay should be identical.
(c) the senior Government employee at the time of appointment should
have been drawing equal or more pay than the junior.
(2) The anomaly should have arisen directly as a result of the introduction of
the revised scales of pay.
(3) Where a junior who opts to come over to the revised scale from a date
subsequent to 1st January 2006 and happens to get more pay than that of his senior
by way of fitment benefit, then the pay of the senior shall be stepped up to the level
of the pay of the junior with effect from the date from which the junior draws such
higher pay, provided that the senior was drawing pay higher than or equal to the pay
of the junior in the pre-revised scales of pay from time to time.
6. Rate of Increment in the Revised Pay Structure:
The rate of increment in the revised pay structure shall be three per cent of
the sum of pay in the Pay Band and Grade Pay applicable which shall be rounded off
to the next multiple of 10. The amount of increment shall be added to the existing
pay in the Pay Band.
7. Date of Annual Increments in the Revised Pay Structure:
(i) The Government employees shall be permitted to draw their annual increment
in the revised pay structure in four quarters admissible in the existing scale of
pay as the case may be viz. 1st January, 1st April, 1st July and 1st October.
(ii) The next increment of a Government employee in the revised pay scale shall
be granted on the date he would have drawn increment had he continued in
the existing pay scale.
(iii) If a Government employee draws his next increment in the revised pay scale
under sub-rule (ii) above and thereby becomes eligible for higher pay than his
senior whose next increment falls due at a latter date, then the pay of such
15
senior shall be refixed equal to the pay of the junior from the date on which
the junior becomes entitled to higher pay.
(iv) In the case of Government employees who had been drawing stagnation
increment beyond the maximum of the existing scale of pay and stagnating at
the maximum in the existing scales for more than a year as on 1st January,
2006, the next increment in the revised scale shall be allowed on the 1st
January, 2006 itself and subsequently sanctioned biennial increments.

    2.This calculator is not for contract or fixed pay employee.
