Peculiar Increments of 6th pay Commission

Congratulations, that we have got 6th pay, which is an increase in previous pay by
20% -120%. In 6th pay, annual increment is to be given on 1st July every year. Which
means that an individual will get first increment after a minimum of 6 months & a
maximum of one & half year. The faculties who have date of joining (DOJ) from Jan to
June will get first increment after more than 1 year; where as the faculties who have DOJ
from July to Dec will get increment after less than 1 year. The same principle is also
applied for the retirement, which means that faculty who born on any date in year yy will
retire on 31st Dec of year yy+65, which is unified date of retirement. That means an
effective increment of one year for those whose date of birth falls in January. Till now
there is no peculiarity. But, what about increments during career advancement schemes.
CAS will be given after full 4/5/6 years & not on 1st July of those years, which will create
peculiarity. Let us see how.
Consider a case where an individual ABC has joined as assistant professor during Jan-
June of year YY. ABC will be promoted to senior scale in year YY+5 (considering
M.E./M.Tech./M.Phil. as qualification). But, till that period ABC has got only 4 annual
increments (not 5) as compared to the individual who has joined in the months of July to
Dec (where he has got 5 increments). Now, about the increment for the year YY+5, as
ABC has not spent more than 6 months so he is not eligible to get full increment of year
YY+5. Later on ABC will be promoted to selection grade in year YY+10, again he will
not get full increment (as 6 months had not completed since previous increment). Later
on ABC will be promoted to the post of Associated Professor in the year YY+13, again
the same thing will happen. Later on ABC will be promoted to the post of Professor in
the year YY+16, same thing will be applied again. So, in those years, how the increment
has to be calculated? As 6 months had not completed, so increment on only basic had to
be given not on basic + AGP. As the individual had not completed at least 6 months on
higher AGP. This is why; I termed it as peculiar increment.

This table shows the effect on salary if a faculty joins during Jan-June. Clearly, there is a
disadvantage as compared to faculties whose DOJ falls during July-Dec. The cases of
such peculiar increments are still pending. For example SGSITS has forwarded such
cases to DTE, MP. Here, in this table I have not considered increments of any degree.
One can get benefit of such cases, if he has not got such increments till now.
