Rule 13(i) of the CCS(RP) Rules, 2008
13. Fixation of pay on promotion on or after 1.1.2006 – In
the case of promotion from one grade pay to another in the revised pay
structure, the fixation will be done as follows:-
(i) One increment equal to 3% of the sum of the pay in the pay band and the
existing grade pay will be computed and rounded off to the next multiple of
10. This will be added to the existing pay in the pay band. The grade pay
corresponding to the promotion post will thereafter be granted in addition
to this pay in the pay band. In cases where promotion involves change in the
pay band also, the same methodology will be followed. However, if the pay in
the pay band after adding the increment is less than the minimum of the
higher pay band to which promotion is taking place, pay in the pay band will
be stepped to such minimum.
