A Brief Note on Rectification of Pay Anomalies
Sometimes it so happens that the junior draws higher pay than that of senior. This situation of drawing higher pay by the junior than that of the senior pay is called as Pay Anomaly. There are normally three types of pay anomaly cases. CASE-I Where a junior draws a higher pay that the senior consequent to fixation of his pay in the promoted cadre under Regulation 30(A) of APSEB Service Regulations Part –I. (Under which pay of a promotee is fixed at the stage next above the pay notionally arrived at, by increasing his pay in respect of the lower post by one increment at the stage at which such pay has accrued). Such cases are resolved in terms of orders issued in B.P.Ms.No.197, dt.09-07-1992 read with B.P. Ms. No 1032 Dt 09-11-1984. CASE –II (a) Where a junior, who is promoted to higher post after getting the benefit of appointment to Special Grades scale and Special Promotion post scale, is getting more pay than his senior in the same category who got promotion to the higher post without being first appointed to the said scales under Automatic Advancement Scheme. Such cases are resolved in terms of orders issued in B.P. Ms. No 426, dt.15-01-1991. (b) Where the anomaly arises as result of promotion to the 1 st level of promotion by the junior who has already availed SPP-II Scales benefit under the Automatic Advancement Scheme and the senior draws lesser pay in the 1st level promotion without being able to enjoy the benefit of SPP-II Scales. Such cases are resolved in terms of orders issued in B.P. Ms. No 117, dt.15-6-94. CASE –III Where the junior happens to draw a higher rate of Pay than the Senior earlier than the senior as result of an earlier date of increment than that of the senior; this situation arises when the pay of both the Junior and the Senior is fixed at the same stage by virtue of application of principles of Fixation of Pay in the Revised Scale of Pay and the date of accrual of Annual Grade Increment of the Junior happens to be earlier than the date of accrual of AGI of the senior.

Such cases are resolved in the light of clarifications issued to the orders of the Revised Pay Scales or further clarifications issued in continuation to those orders. Case-IV The erstwhile APSEB has introduced Master Scale with effect from 1-4-1998 with monetary benefit from 1-7-1998. After introduction of Master Scales, some of the seniors who got first promotion before introduction of master scale i.e., prior to 1-4-1998 and got second promotion after introduction of master scale, happened to draw less pay than the junior who got two promotions after introduction of master scale. To safeguard the interest of senior promoted before the introduction of Master Scale i.e., from 1-4-1998 and to remove the pay anomaly of the above nature, the anomaly was resolved by issuing in T.O.O.(CGMHRD&TRG) Per.Ms.No.235, dt.17-1-2004. --Stepping up of pay of the senior on par with the pay of the junior from the date from which the junior’s pay exceeds the pay of the senior is done subject to the following conditions. Case-I a) The stepping up should be done ,with effect from the date of promotion , or fixation of pay of the junior official under the new regulation 30-A of APSEB Service Regulations part –I b) Both the junior and senior officer should belong to the same cadre and the post to which they are promoted should be identical and in the same cadre. c) The scale of pay of the lower and the higher posts in which they are entitled draw pay should be identical. d) The anomaly should be directly a result of fixation of pay of the junior person under the new regulation consequent on his promotion after 19-11-1984 for example if even in the former post, the junior person draws, from time to time a higher rate of pay under normal rules, or any advance increments are granted to him, the pay of the senior person promoted before 19-11-1984, should not be stepped up. e) The next increment of the senior officer shall be drawn on completion of requisite qualifying service with effect from the date of re-fixing of pay.

CASE-II (A) a) Both the senior as well as the junior should be promoted to the same category of post carrying the same scale of pay ; b) The senior as well as the junior should be promoted to the same category of post carrying the same scale of pay c) The pay of the junior in the lower category should have been less than or equal to senior in the lower category prior to promotion of the senior to the higher post. d) Once the pay of the senior is re-fixed on par with that of the junior in the identical post carrying identical scale of pay, the next increment of the senior will be admissible only after completion of the required period of service to earn an increment with effect from the date of re-fixation of pay. e) The anomaly should be directly as a result of the application of the orders issued in the B.P .Ms. No. 652 Dt 24-08-1982.if not for example if even in the lower post ,the junior was drawing more pay than the senior for any reason ,such as grant of advance increment for merit or as a reward (or Family Planning INCENTIVE Increments ) or under some such circumstances ,there is no case to raise the pay of the senior in the higher post to be equal to that of his junior under these orders ; and therefore these orders would not be applicable in such cases ; and f) In all cases effected by the said orders, the pay shall be fixed notionally from the date the junior got a pay higher than the senior in the higher post with monetary benefit from the 25-10-1983. CASE –II (B) i. Seniors who were on promotion to the next line of the date on which the juniors were appointed to SPP-II shall be entitled to the SPP-II scale from the date on which the juniors were appointed to SPP-II scale they shall also be entitled to have their pay fixed from the date in the SPP-II scale in the terms of APSEB Service Regulations 30 (a) (i) read with Service Regulations 39(2) of the APSEB Regulations part I. ii. Even after fixing the pay as per Para (i) above in the SPP-II scale, if the pay of the junior happens to be more than the pay of the senior, the pay of the senior hall

be stepped up to the pay of the junior from the date from which the pay of the junior was more. The above orders are subject to the following conditions. a) The senior should have put in 22 years of incremental service (both lower as well as officiating put together) by the date from which junior was appointed to SPP-II. b) That both the junior and senior should belong to the same category in the lower post, and that both should have drawn pay in the same time scale, before the senior was promoted .These orders are not applicable to the seniors who are appointed by direct recruitment to higher post. c) That the pay of the junior in the lower category should have been equal or less than that of his senior prior to the promotion of senior to that promotion post. d) The anomaly should have arisen directly as a result of the application of the orders issued in B.P. Ms. No. 927 , dated 27-9-1988.(which deals with the extension of Automatic Advancement Scheme to the Revised pay scales of 1-71986 ,which were originally issued in B.P. Ms. No. 652 Dated 24-08-1982) e) After stepping up of the pay as ordered above, the next increment of the senior shall be admissible only after completion of the required period of service from the date of fixation of pay ordered above. f) Provided that if the junior gets the benefit of re-fixation of pay under Regulation 39(2) of APSEB Service Regulations Part –I earlier, than the date of increment the pay of the senior shall again ,be stepped up to that of the junior. The above orders have come into force from 01-07-1986. Case –III Guidelines will be issued for rectification of pay Anomaly after each Revised Pay Scales introduction in order to prepone (Advance) the increment subject to following; “Provided that in case of an employee whose pay in revised pay scales is fixed for another employee junior to him in the same cadre and drawing pay at a lower stage than his senior in the existing scale of pay or drawing pay at a lower stage as that of of 1st level

his junior in existing scale of pay prior to the date, the next increment shall be deemed to have accrued on the same date as admissible to his junior, if the date of increment of the junior is earlier Case-IV To safeguard the interest of senior promoted before the introduction of Master Scale i.e., from 1-4-1998 and to remove the pay anomaly of the above nature, the anomaly was resolved by issuing in T.O.O.(CGMHRD&TRG) Per.Ms.No.235, dt.17-1-2004. The pay of a senior employee promoted to the higher post/s before the date of this order, should be stepped up to a figure equal to the pay as fixed for the junior employee in that higher post/s as a result of introduction of master scale. This will, however, be subject to the following conditions:(a) (b) (c) (d) The stepping up should be done with effect from the date of fixation of pay of the junior employee at a stage above the pay drawn by the senior employee after introduction of master scale. Both the junior and senior should belong to the same cadre and the posts to which they are promoted should be identical and in the same cadre. The scale of pay of the lower and the higher post/s in which they are appointed should be identical. The anomaly should be directly as a result of fixation of pay of the junior employee consequent on his promotion after introduction of Master Scale with effect from 1-4-1998. For example, if even in the former post the junior employee draws, from time to time a higher rate of pay under normal rules or any advance increments are granted to him, the pay of the senior employee promoted before the date of introduction of Master Scale should not be stepped up. The promotions shall not have been ordered relaxing the qualifications or under unqualified quota. The orders refixing the pay of the senior employee shall be issued under Regulation 34 of APSEB Service Regulations Part-I as adopted by APTRANSCO and Discoms. The next increment of the senior employee shall accrue only after completion of one year qualifying service with effect from the date of refixation of pay.
