Q.2


Ans.
I was Lt. Col. as on 01-01-1986 and retired on 01-08-95. I was promoted to the rank of Col on 05-06-1986 and Brig on 03-06-92. Therefore, I am entitled to get arrears of Rank pay @ Rs. 800/- per month w.e.f. 01-01-86 to 04-06-86,
@ Rs. 1000/- per month w.e.f. 05-06-86 to 02-06-92 and Rs. 1200/- per month w.e.f. 03-06-92 till date of retirement. I have been paid much less than that. How?
Some aspects to be made clear here-
  1. Your arrears are not directly proportional to either of the following-
    1. Rank Pay of the rank held by you on 01/01/86
    2. Your service after 01/01/86
    3. Your seniority
  2. Deduction of Rank Pay (made at the time of fixing pay in 4th CPC) was not necessarily equal to the Rank Pay of the rank held by the officer on 01/01/86. Therefore now after revision, the difference of pay one is going to get needs not be equal to the Rank Pay of the rank held on 01/01/86.
  3. Even this difference diminishes and gets less when officer gets subsequent promotions or at the time of fixation in subsequent Pay Commissions. It is because officer’s Basic Pay is upgraded to the minimum of the scale of next rank (on promotion) or new scales (new CPC). Actually it becomes zero on 01/01/96 in most of the cases.
E.g.
Officer is Lt Col as on 01.01.86

Note 1

Note 2


Note 3
Even though Rank Pay corresponding to the rank held by the officer on 01/01/86 is Rs 800/-, the difference officer gets now is only Rs 600/-

When the officer gets promotion to Colonel, his pay doesn’t get any hike (after revision now) as he was already drawing more than the minimum admissible to Colonel.

Pay in the revised scale and pre-revised scale becomes equal on the date of promotion of Brig. i.e. 03-06-92 in this case. Hence, no further arrears are admissible thereafter.
It is evident that with every promotion, the difference in Revised & Pre-revised Pay is reducing.

 

Q.3

Ans
Why no further increments have been admitted to me in ‘Revised Pay’ after my Basic Pay reached the scale of Rs. 5100/- w.e.f. 01-06-89 ? My Rank at that time was Lt. Col.
During 4th CPC, Rs. 5100/- was the maximum scale admissible for the Ranks from Major to Brig. Maximum scale for Maj. Gen was Rs. 6700/- In case the Basic pay of any officer of the rank of Major, Lt Col or Col reached Rs. 5100/- during
4th CPC, i.e. between 01-01-86 to 31-12-95, the officer was entitled for only two Stagnation Increments which were admissible only after every two years. The rates of Stagnation Increments were Rs. 150/- and Rs. 200/- only. In case of Brigadier, three Stagnation Increments were admissible @ Rs. 200/-, Rs. 300/- and Rs. 400/-.

 

E.g.
(i)
In the case of Maj, Lt. Col. & Col.-
In the revised scale, if the officer reached Rs. 5100/- w.e.f. 01-06-89,
1st Stagnation Increment admissible w.e.f. 01-06-91 = Rs. 150/- per month
2nd Stagnation Increment admissible w.e.f. 01-06-93 = Rs. 200/- per month
No further Stagnation Increment will be admissible on 01-06-95 since only two Stagnation Increments are admissible to Major, Lt. Col and Col.
(II)
In the case of Brigadier-
In the revised scale, if the officer reached Rs. 5100/- w.e.f. 01-06-89,
1st Stagnation Increment admissible w.e.f. 01-06-91 = Rs. 200/- per month
2nd Stagnation Increment admissible w.e.f. 01-06-93 = Rs. 300/- per month
3rd Stagnation Increment admissible w.e.f. 01-06-95 = Rs. 400/- per month
