Section 13 in Orissa Revised Scales of Pay Rules, 2008
13. Fixation of pay on promotion on or after 01.01.2006.
- In case of promotion from one grade pay to another in revised pay structure the fixation will be done as follows :(1)One increment equal to 3% of the sum of the pay in the pay band and the existing grade pay shall be computed and rounded off to the next multiple of 10. This will be added to the existing pay in the pay band. The grade pay corresponding to the promotional post will thereafter be granted in addition to the pay in the pay band. In case where the promotion involves change in the pay band also the same methodology would be followed. However if the pay in the pay band after adding the increment is less than the minimum of the basic pay band, to which promotion is taking place, the pay in the pay band shall be stepped up to such minimum.(2)If the Government servant exercises option to fix his promotional pay not from the date of joining in the promotional post but from the later date with accrual of one increment in the lower scale and to refix his promotional pay in the appropriate higher scale, in such eventuality a Government servant in case of the later case will continue in the lower pay band with grade pay in the promotional post till the re-fixation of his promotional pay in the promotional pay band. Such option shall have to be exercised within a month from the date of joining in the promotional post in the prescribed format in the Fourth Schedule. Further in case of persons who have already been promoted and their pay is to be refixed in the promotional pay band retrospectively, they may exercise option to avail promotional benefit in the pay within one month as per the prescribed format in the Fourth Schedule from the date of publication of revised pay rules. Otherwise they will be deemed to have come over to the promotional scale in the revised scale of pay from the date of joining in the promotional post.
