DATED 26-03-2018:

https://govtemployeematters.com

 Sub:     CLARIFICATION REGARDING UPGRADTION AND TIME SCALE PROMOTION:

             Kindly refer to your memo No.PF/HM/3186 dated 06-02-2018 on the subject cited above.

  1. Seriatim reply to the queries raised by the District Accounts Officer, Faisalabad, vide his memo No. DO/FSD/P.Fix/HM/360 dated 11-11-2017 is as under:
S.No. Query of DAO Faisalabad Reply of Finance Department
i) Finance Department has issued the following circular letters:

i)              No.FD.PC.40-80/2015 dated 26-07-2017 regarding up-gradation of certain posts including Sub-Engineer of BS-11 to BS-14.

ii)             No.FD.PC.40-80/2015 dated  26-07-2017 regarding time scale promotion to incumbents of all promotion / non-promotion posts in BS-5 to BS-15

 In terms of Notification No.FD.PC.40-80/2015 dated  26-07-2017, the post of Sub-Engineer has been upgraded from BS-11 to BS-14 in terms of Notification No, FD.PC.39-14/77-P-IV.APCA/2008(Provl) dated 04-01-2016 (copy enclosed) all technical / non-technical employees holding posts from BS-5 to Bs-15 which are isolated / stagnant (i.e. having no promotion prospects) and have 10-years service to their credit in the respective pay scale, were upgraded to next pay scale w.e.f. 01-01-2016 and further no next pay scale after earning each 10 years of service (Annexure-A).

In supersession of letter dated 04-01-2016, time scale promotions to the employees in BS-5 to BS-15  holding promotion / non-promotion posts, where none or only one-time promotion in the entire service is prescribed in the rules was on satisfactory completion of each 10 years of service as under vide Notification No.FD.PC.40-80/2015 dated  26-07-2017.

1) BS 5-10 3 steps
2) BS 11-15 2 steps
3) Auto CAD Operator {BS-12) 3 steps
4) Data Entry Operator (BS-12) 3 steps
5) Sanitarian (BS-9) 4 steps
6) Surveyor (BS-11) 4 steps
ii A confusion has arisen at which of the above circulars is to be implemented first or both will be implemented simultaneously.  For illustration, the post of Sub-Engineer has been upgraded from BS-11 to BS-14.  A Sub-Engineer claims time scale promotion in BS-16.

In case the pay of employee is first fixed in time scale promotion, it will come to BS-13 (two steps) and thereafter his pay is fixed under up-gradation, it will come to BS-15. In case the pay is fixed in upgraded post in the first instance it becomes to BS-14.  Thereafter by allowing him two steps promotion, it will come to BS-16.  This office may therefore kindly be favored with a valuable advice as to which circular letter the pay of the Sub-Engineer may first be fixed.

 In terms of Notification No.FD.PC.40-80/2015 dated 26-07-2017, the post of Sub-Engineer has been upgraded from BS-11 to BS-14 in terms of Notification No, FD.PC.39-14/77-P-IV.APCA/2008(Provl) dated 04-01-2016 (copy enclosed) all technical / non-technical employees holding posts from BS-5 to Bs-15 which are isolated / stagnant (i.e. having no promotion prospects) and have 10-years service to the extent indicated in sub-Para (i) above.

A Sub Engineer first gets promotion as Senior Sub-Engineer (BS-16) and then Assistant Engineer / Sub Divisional Officer (BS-17).  Hence the policy of time scale promotion is not applicable in such cases. However, if nor or only one-time promotion in the entire service is prescribed in the rules in a specific case, such Sub-Engineer after getting the benefit of upgrading BS-11 to BS-14 w.e.f. 26-08-2017 will have to wait for 10 years in BS-14 to get the benefit of time scale promotion in BS-15 and further ten years of BS-16.
  In case the pay of a Sub-Engineer is fixed in BS-16, whether it will be gazetted or non gazetted. The Time Scale Promotion is considered as personal up-gradation. Hence an official availing the benefit of time scale promotion in BS-16 cannot be declared as officer. However, such incumbents entitled to pay and allowances as admissible to an officer of BS-16.

This advice may serve as orders for the time scale promotion.  In case of officials in BS-1 to BS-15, mere entries by the concerned Drawing and Disbursing Officers in the service books of the officials would suffice as already clarified vide Para 2 (ii) of the Finance Department U.O. No. FD.P.C.39-14/77(PLIV)(APCA) (Provl) Dated 09-08-2016.
ii As provided in Para 1 (i) of the Government of the Punjab Finance Department Policy letter No. FD.PC.40-12/2017 dated 19-04-2019, the promotion is subject to the condition “that they possess good/satisfactory service record” The audit office maintains the service record of pay and allowances but record of litigation, inquiries, ACRs etc. is with the Administrative Department so the implementation of the above policy without formal orders or DPC.

The above referred letters have already been implemented by your office and DAOs in Punjab.

 
iii Some Departments are autonomous and do not draw from the A.G. Punjab / DAOs like Service Hospital Lahore, General Hospital, PMU etc., and hence no proper record of the officers is available with the Audit Office.

Moreover, advice to be issued by the attached department or as the case may be treated as formal orders for the time scale promotion.
