(2).A Sailor who is on leave on the 1st of January, 2016 and is entitled to leave salary shall become entitled to pay in the revised pay structure from the 1st day of January, 2016, or the date of option for the revised pay structure.

(3).A Sailor under suspension shall continue to draw subsistence allowance based on existing pay structure, and his pay in the revised pay structure shall be subject to the final order on the pending disciplinary proceedings.

(5)Where in the fixation of pay in the Pay Matrix under regulation 7, the pay in the Pay Matrix of a Sailor, who, in the existing pay structure was drawing immediately before the 1st of January, 2016 more pay in the Pay Band than another Sailor in the same arm or service, gets fixed in the revised pay structure at a stage lower than that of such junior, his pay in the Pay Matrix shall be stepped up to the same Cell in the revised pay structure as that of the junior.

(6).Where a Sailor is in receipt of Personal Pay immediately before the date of notification of these regulations, which together with his existing emoluments exceed the revised emoluments, then the difference representing such excess shall be allowed to such a Sailor as Personal Pay, to be absorbed in future increase in Pay.

(7).In case of Sailors who are in receipt of Personal Pay for passing Hindi Pragya, Hindi Typewriting, Hindi shorthand and such other examinations under the “Hindi Teaching Scheme” or on successfully undergoing training in cash and accounts matters prior to – January, 2016, while the Personal Pay shall not be taken into account for purposes of fixation of initial pay in the revised pay structure, they shall continue to draw Personal Pay after fixation of their pay in the revised pay structure on and from the – day of January 2016 or subsequently for the period for which they would have drawn it but for the fixation of their pay in the revised pay structure and the quantum of such Personal Pay would be paid at the appropriate rate of increment in the revised pay structure from the date of fixation of pay for the period for which they would have continued to draw it.

Explanation.– For the purpose of this sub-rule, “appropriate rate of increment in the revised pay structure” means the difference with respect to the next immediate higher Cell in the applicable Level of the Pay Matrix, from the stage at which the pay of the Sailor is fixed in the revised pay structure.Also Read: Level  of Ranks in the pay matrix for Navy PBORs

(i)In cases where a senior Sailor promoted to a higher rank before the 1st of January, 2016 draws less pay in the Pay Matrix in the revised pay structure than his junior who is promoted to the higher rank on or after the 1st of January, 2016, the pay in the Pay Matrix of the senior Sailor in the revised pay structure shall be stepped up to an amount equal to the pay in the Pay Matrix as fixed for his junior in that higher rank, and such stepping up shall be done with effect from the date of promotion of the junior Sailor, subject to fulfilment of the following conditions, namely:–

(a)both the junior and senior Sailors belong to the same group or branch and the rank to which they have been promoted are identical in the same group or branch.

(b)the existing grade pay and the revised Level in the Pay Matrix of the lower and higher ranks in which they are entitled to draw pay are identical.

(c)the senior Sailor at the time of promotion is drawing equal or more pay than the junior.

(d)the anomaly is directly as a result of the application of the provisions of this regulation or any other regulation or order regulating pay fixation on such promotion in the revised pay structure.

Provided that if the junior Sailor was drawing more pay in  the  existing  pay structure than the senior Sailor by virtue of any advance increments granted to him, the provisions of these regulations shall not be invoked to step up the pay in the Pay Matrix of the senior Sailor.

(ii)  The senior Sailor shall be entitled to the next increment on completion of his  required qualifying service with effect from the date of re-fixation of pay.
