2. BASIC PAY SCALES: The existing modified and the revised basic pay scales are detailed in the Annex-I. The Revised Basic Pay Scales shall replace the Basic Pay Scales, 1987 and shall be effective from the 1st of July 1991.

3. INITIAL FIXATION OF PAY:

(i)            The initial pay of the existing employees who have been in Government service since before the 1st  July 1991, shall first be fixed in the modified basic scales at the stage having the same pay or if there is no such stage, at the next higher stage. Thereafter, the pay shall be fixed in the revised basic pay scale “on point to point basis”,  i.e.  at the stage in the relevant revised basic pay scale which is as many stages above the minimum as the stage occupied by him above the minimum of the modified basic scale.

(ii)         In the case of those employees whose pay is fixed in the revised basic scales at a stage which gives an increase of less than Rs. 100/- in pay of June, 1991, a minimum increase of Rs. 100/- in pay, over June, 1991 level, shall be allowed and, thereafter, pay fixed at the corresponding stage equal to this pay or if there is no such stage at the next higher stage. The pay fixation formula has been illustrated through examples, I, II & III in Annex-II.

(iii)          The annual increment shall continue to be admissible subject to the existing conditions on the first of December each year. However, the first annual increment of the existing employees in the revised basic pay scales, in which their pay is fixed on the 1st  July 1991, shall accrue on the 1st December 1991.

(iv)        The  increases  allowed  since  01.7.1988  as  detailed  below  shall cease to be admissible from 01.07.1991:

4. FIXATION OF PAY ON PROMOTION: In cases of promotion from a lower to higher post/scale before the introduction of these scales, the pay of the employee concerned in the revised basic scale may be fixed and so enhanced that it would not be less than the pay that would have been admissible to him if his promotion to the higher post/ scale had taken place after the introduction of these scales.

5. GRANT  OF    ADVANCE    INCREMENTS    TO    OFFICIALS    FOR POSSESSING/ ATTAINING HIGHER EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION: (i) From

1. c) The individual, being already in receipt of 1,272/- (Pay plus increases allowed since 01.07.1988) in June 1991, would get an increase of Rs. 3/- P.M.
