This Office Memorandum from the Directorate of Income Tax (HRD) clarifies rules concerning the applicability of minimum pay and the stepping up of pay following the Sixth Pay Commission (CPC) and the CCS (RP) Rules, 2008. The order number is F. No. HRD/CM/175/4/2010-11/858 and it is dated 02/11/2010.
• The revised pay structure did not prescribe a minimum pay in the running pay band for employees already in service before 1.1.2006, with reference to the minimum entry pay for direct recruits appointed on or after 1.1.2006. Therefore, the pay of existing employees cannot be fixed by referring to this direct recruit minimum entry pay.
• Stepping up of pay for seniors is permitted with reference to a directly recruited junior (recruited on or after 1.1.2006) whose basic pay is higher than the senior, subject to the cadre having an element of direct recruitment. Stepping up is applicable from the date the junior actually draws the higher pay.
• Stepping up of pay is not applicable if the cadre has no element of direct recruitment, or if the junior's higher pay is due to advance increments granted at the time of recruitment.
