Subject:-Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1960 – Fixation of pay.
Sir,
I am directed to refer to your letter No.G.III.Cent.I/288 dated the 16th May, 1961, on the subject mentioned above and, to say that in this Ministry’s letter dated the 28th 28th January, 1961, it has already been clarified that the pay on the revised scales is to be regulated with reference to the facts as existing on 1st July 1959. The refixation of pay under F.R. 31(2), if it relates to the period on or before 1st July 1959, has also to be taken into consideration. The refixation of pay under F.R. 31(2) has no significance only when it relates to the period after 1st July 1959.
2. The pay of the Income-Tax Officer referred to in to your letter would therefore be regulated on the revised scale in the following manner:-
| Date | Substantive Pay | Officiating Pay | ||
| Existing Scale(275 – 800) | Revised Scale(350-900) | Existing Scale(350-900) | Revised Scale(400 – 1250) | |
| 1-4-1959 | 560 | – | 590 | – |
| 1-7-1959 | 590 | 680 | 620 | 740 Plus/Under rule 10 (1) (i) of the C.C.S. (RP) Rules, 1960. |
|
Rs.15 P.Pay |

| 1-7-1960 | – | 710 | – | 780 |
Yours faithfully,

Copy of letter No.G.III.Cent.I/288 dated the 16th May 1961 from the Accountant General, Madras addressed to the Secretary to the Government of India, Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) New Delhi.
Subject:- Central Civil Service (Revised Pay) Rules, 1960 Fixation of pay – regarding.
As per rule 10(1) read with Rule 5 of the C.C.S. (R.P.) Rules, 1960 the pay in the revised scales have to be fixed with reference to the pay drawn on 1.7.1959 in the pre-revised scales. A doubt has arisen in the case of an Income-Tax Officer, substantive in Class II and Officiating in Class I who earns an increment in the substantive post on the 1st of July.
The following is a concrete case. Mr. A, a substantive Income-Tax Officer, Class II drawing pay at Rs.560/- p.m. was promoted as Income-Tax Officer, Class I with effect from 1.4.1959. His pay in the pre-revised scales has been regulated as under:-
From Class I Class I, Grade II
1.4.59 560 590
1.7.59 590(Inc) 620 F.R. 31(2)
The officer has elected the revised scale with effect from 1.7.59. His substantive pay has been fixed at Rs.680/-p.m. in the revised scale of Rs.350-900 with the date of
next increment on 1.7.60. His officiating pay on 1.7.59 in the pre-revised scale is Rs.620/- P.M. The Officiating pay was raised to Rs.620/- from 1.7.59 not because of efflux of one year from the date of promotion but of the provisions of F.R. 31(2). As the officer has elected the revised scales from 1.7.59 fixation of pay done in any post in the pre-revised scale, including the refixation done under F.R. 31(2) has no significance – vide the Government of India, Ministry of Finance letter No.12(1)Est.(Spl)/61 dated the 28.1.61. But for the fixation under F.R. 31(2) the officer would have drawn only Rs.590/- on 1.7.59. It is also arguable that the fixation of pay under F.R. 31(2) is coincident with the accrual of increment in the substantive post and as the existing scales continued to be in force on 1.7.59 the pay on 1.7.59 after the fixation under F.R. 31(2) appears to come within the purview of the definition 5(3) of C.C.S.(R.P.) Rules.
I am to request for clarification in the matter.
