‘Option’ clause in promotion order 

• The promotion order must include the option clause for pay fixation to ensure officials exercise their options within the specified timeframe. 

• This requirement is mandated

In order to enable the officials to exercise the option within the time limit prescribed, the option clause for pay fixation on promotion with effect from date of promotion/DNI shall invariably be incorporated in the promotion/appointment order so that there are no cases of delay in exercising the options due to administrative lapse.
