additional full beat and Rs 150 per day for sharing of beat (half beat)
and further proposed to increase by 25% every time when DA reaches 50%

to be continued as this special allowance has been sanctioned in lieu of

to grant special allowance equivalent to one increment, which will be
kept separately and not to be added to the basic pay. Other conditions

allowance is drawn for 3 years, it will be added to basic pay while pay
fixation on promotion.
