I am directed to invite a reference to this Department Notification No Fin(PR)B(7)-64/2010-Loose dated 24/09/2012 vide which Himachal Pradesh Civil Services (Category /Post wise Revised Pay) Rules, 2012 have been notified. Under these rules pay structure of certain categories of employees has been revised w.e.f. 01/10/2012 or thereafter as per schedule appended to these rules.

References have been received from various quarters seeking clarification as to what grade pay is to be allowed in the cases where the grade pay of feeder post is higher to the grade pay at entry level of the higher/ promotional post.

The matter has been considered by the Government and it is clarified that in all such cases where the grade pay at entry level of the promotional post has become lower than the grade pay attached to feeder post, the higher grade pay being drawn in the feeder post shall be protected.

These instructions will be applicable with immediate effect, prospectively.

Yours faithfully,
