Seventh Central Pay Commission - Issue of instructions on revision in minimum

2.
Attention is invited to this Department's 0M No AB.
14017/61/2008Estt. (RR) dated 24.3.2009, which was issued following implementing of the recommendation of the 6th CPC, indicating the revised
minimum qualifying service required for promotion, to be prescribed in the
Service/ Recruitment Rules, as per the revised pay structure introduced as per
recommendations of the 6th CPC and accepted by the Government. The said 0M was
issued in the context of earlier instructions issued vide DOPT 0M No.
AB.14017/2/97-Estt. (RR) dated 25.5.1998, prescribing the minimum qualifying service as per 5th CPC pay scales.
3.
Instructions revising the minimum qualifying service
required for promotion, as per 7th CPC Pay Matrix/ Pay Levels, have not been issued
so far and proposals for framing/ amendment of RRs/ Service Rules are still
being considered, based on the requirements prescribed in 0M dated 24.3.2009.
Though the levels in Revised Pay Matrix as per 7th CPC Pay Matrix, generally
correspond to the pre-revised Grade Pays/ Pay Scales (6th CPC), however, a need
was felt to prescribe minimum qualifying service for promotion as per Pay
Levels in the Revised Pay Matrix.
4.
Therefore, the instructions issued vide DOPT 0M dated
24.3.2009 has been reviewed, in consultation with the UPSC and with the
approval of the competent authority it has been decided to revise the norms
prescribing minimum eligibility service required for promotion, as per 7th CPC
Pay Matrix and Pay Levels. The revised norms for minimum eligibility service
for promotion have been indicated in the table at Annexure-I.
5.
Therefore, the revised norms prescribing minimum
eligibility service required for promotion, as per 7th CPC Pay Matrix and Pay
Levels, given in Annexure-I, may be incorporated in the Recruitment Rules/
Service Rules by suitable ammendments. All the Ministries/
Departments are, therefore, requested to effect necessary amendments to the
Recruitment Rules/ Service Rules, in this regard, after following the due
procedure.
6.
The Recruitment/ Service Rules are of statutory
nature. Moreover, any amendment in these Rules generally have prospective
effect. Therefore, in terms of para 3.1.3 of DoPT 0M No. AB.14017/48/2010-Estt.
RR dated 31.12.2010, wherever required, suitable 'protection clause' may be
incorporated in the amendment proposed in the Recruitment/ service Rules,
providing for retention of existing eligibility service for existing incumbents
holding the feeder posts on regular basis, where the eligibility service for
promotion prescribed in the existing rules is being enhanced and where the
change is likely to affect the promotion of these incumbents.
7. Ministries/Departments may initiate action to complete
the review in this regard and furnish necessary amendment proposals to the DOPP
and the UPSC in the case of Group A and Group B posts within six months from
the date of issue of this Office Memorandum.
