7th Pay Commission likely to recommend Jan 1, July 1 as Annual Increment issuing days
“On July 1 of each year, annual increments are given for all the
Central Government employees. So, tomorrow is the “Increment Day” for
all.”
The 6th Pay Commission had introduced the practice of granting annual
increment for all on the same day. Until then, increments were
implemented for the employees based either on their date of joining or
on their promotion dates.
In order to reduce the monthly work burden and for administrative
expediency, suggestions from the various departments were presented to
the 6th Pay Commission to recommend a single day as increment date. The
6th Pay Commission had recommend 1st July of earch year as increment
day. From 01.01.2006 onwards, July 1 was made the day of implementation
of annual increments to all CG staff.
Employees who are appointed after January 1st are not eligible for that
year’s annual increment on July 1. They qualify for annual increment
only the next year. And those who retire on 30th June, they are not
eligible for annual increment.
The new increment rule continues to make a huge impact, when employees
are joining duty and retire from duty, due to complex CCS (RP) rules on
increment. Pointing out the practical difficulties in implementing this
scheme, the National Council JCM suggested to the 7th Pay Commission may
recommend that two specific dates, Viz January 1st and July 1st.
According to the NC JCM Staff Side suggestion, those
recruited/appointed/promoted during the period between 1st January and
30th June will have their increment date on 1st January and those
recruited/appointed/promoted between 1st July and 31st December will
have it on 1st July next year.
It was also suggested to recommend that those who retire on June 30 and
December 31 should be given one increment on the last day of their
service.
Reliable sources confirm that, instead of granting 1st July, the 7th Pay
Commission may recommend to implement a 2 Day annual increment method.
