Increment & Promotions Clarifications: Sixth Pay Commission Recommendation

The Government of India, Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure has come out with its clarification on CCS (Revised Pay) following the Recommendations of Sixth pay Commission.
DOPT has issued fresh clarification on increment and promotions after 1-1-2006. Wikipedia on Sixth Pay Commission. There are some changes and clarifications in the Clarifications issued.
Increment & Promotions Clarifications Sixth Pay Commission
People retired between 1-2-2005 and 1-12 2005 are eligible for increment on July 2007 as they completes 6 months after increment. For those whom the increment is on 1-1-2006, the news scale is considered including the increment on 1-1-2006. They are also eligible for increment on July 2007.

The memorandum also clarifies on the promotions after 1-1-2006.

clarification issued by Govt (F.No: 1/1/2008-IC dated 13.9.08) on ACP/Promotion after 1.1.2006 etc., has made our earlier study on ACP/Promotion after 1.1.2006 redundant. In light of this clarification, the common option under Rule 5 of CCS Revised Pay Rules 2008 for 6CPC Pay fixation as well as pay fixation for ACP/Promotion is not warranted now.

Those who get ACP/Promotion will have the option of getting their 6CPC pay fixed on 1.1.2006 or on the date of their pre-revised increment based on the option exercised by them under Rule 6 of CCS Revised Pay Rules 2008. Afterwards, for the purpose of fixing the Pay on account of ACP/Promotion they can exercise one more option under FR 22 (I) (a) (1) to get his pay fixed in the higher post either from the date of his promotion, or from the date of his next increment, viz., July of the year.
Those who get their promotion between 2nd Jan and 30th June will get the additional benefit of one annual increment in the ACP/Promotion year itself, if they opt to defer their pay fixation for promotion to next grade to 1st July of the year at the loss of fixation benefit from promotion month to July of that year. This onetime loss will be very minimal while comparing long term benefit we get out of addition of one more increment in the year. Anyway, this onetime loss has also been minimized by the Govt to the extent possible as the grade pay gets revised on the date of ACP/Promotion though we prefer to defer it to July.

On the other hand, for those who get the their promotion between 2nd July and 1st January, deferring their pay fixation to next July will not fetch any additional benefit as they will earn their annual increment prior to their promotion in July during that year. So they can opt for fixing the pay on their regular date of promotion which would fetch them an additional increment in the same year.
