The matter has been considered in the Finance Division and it has been decided that in all the above three cases, increments if otherwise due, may also be allowed beyond the scope of pay scales. The increments so allowed shall be treated as personal pay and the grant of personal pay may be treated as the part of pay scale of the concerned Govt servant, Pension, Recovery of House Rent etc.
