OFFICE MEMORANDUM.
Subject:- Fixation of pay of officers of the Established Central Services (ECS Class-I) who were drawing pay in the junior scale as on 1-7-1959 and who were not promoted to the senior scale prior to 2nd August 1960.
In the following Established Central Services Class I:
(a) Indian Audit and Accounts Service.
(b) Indian Customs Service.
(c) Income-tax Service.
(d) Central Excise Service.
(e) Indian Postal Service.
(f) Indian Defence Accounts Service.
the scales of Rs.350-350-380-380-30-590-EB-30-770-40-850 (junior scale0 and Rs.600-40-1000-1050-1050-1100-1100-1150 (senior scale) have been released by a single scale of Rs.400-400-450-30-510-EB-700-40-1100-50/2-1250 with effect from 1-7-59. Prior to 1-7-59, on promotion from the junior scale to the senior scale, the pay of an officer of the Established Central Services mentioned above was fixed at the stage in the senior scale corresponding to his pay in the junior scale. This method of fixation of pay normally resulted in every officer getting a monetary benefit, on his promotion from the junior scale to the senior scale, varying between Rs.170 and Rs.300 over his pay in the junior scale. From 1-7-59, the aforesaid monetary benefit is not available except to the except of Rs.190/- which an officer at the stage of Rs.510/- in the revised scale will get on his being allowed to draw pay at the stage of Rs.700/- permitting him to cross the efficiency bar.
2.It has been represented to the Government’s of India that the officers of the Established Central Services referred to above who were holding junior scale posts on 1-7-1959 had the expectation that they would have got promotion to the senior scale in due course and derived a substantial benefit over their pay in the junior scale which has now due to the revision of the scales been denied. It has been pointed out that the jump of Rs.190/- provided for in the revised scale (i.e. from the 5th stage of Rs.510/- to Rs.700/-) does not accrue in the case of officers who were getting on 1-7-1959 a pay of Rs.590/- and above in the junior scale and that in respect of officers whose pay was between Rs.470 and Rs.590 on 1-7-1959, the benefit of this jump accrued to a small extent only.
The President is, therefore, pleased to decide that on the date of completion of four years of service from the date of promotion to the Class-I Junior scale, or on 2-8-1960, whichever was later, the officers of the Established Central Services referred to above, who were drawing pay at various stages, in the junior scale on 1-7-1959 and who were not promoted to the senior scale before 2-8-1960, may be granted advance increments as indicated below, at the rate of Rs.40/-, subject to the condition that the pay so arrived at after the grant of advance increments shall not in any case exceed Rs.1100/- in the revised scale.
