Sir,

I am directed to refer to queries received from various Ministries/Departments regarding method of pay protection in terms of Rule 7 of IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 which is as under :-

”If the pay of the officers posted on deputation to the Central Government under Central Staffing Scheme, after fixation of their pay in the revised pay structure, either under these rules or as per the instructions regulating such fixation of pay on the post to which they are appointed on deputation, happens to be lower than the pay they would have been entitled to, had they been in their parent cadre and would have drawn that pay but for the Central deputation, such difference in the pa y shall be protected in the form of Personal Pay with effect from the date of notification of Government Resolution in this regard, i.e. 25th July, 2016.

Further, if the member of Service is promoted in the cadre while on central deputation under Central Staffing Scheme, the difference in the pay that the officer would have drawn had he been in the parent cadre and the amount of pay on his deputation to Centre shall be protected in the form of personal pay with effect from the date of issue of Government Resolution.”

 Rule 7 of IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 was subsequently amended  vide  notification dated 14021/ 1/ 2016-  AIS-11,  dated  12.06.2017  consequent  upon  the amendment of Department of Expenditure Notification  No. 1-2/ 2016-IC  dated 16lh May, 2017, which inter-alia  provide  that  the  aforesaid  provision  would take  effect  from  01.01.2016.
