REPORT OF

THE XI PAY REVISION


COMMISSION,
KERALA

PART- III
Recommendations on the Revision of
Pay & Allowances and Pension of
the Employees of the Universities in Kerala

Chairman : K. Mohandas, IAS (Retd.)


Member : Prof. (Retd.) M. K. Sukumaran Nair

PREFACE

I am happy to present Part III of the Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission
appointed by the Government of Kerala. This Part contains the Commission’s
recommendations regarding the revision of pay and allowances and pension of
the employees of the Universities in Kerala. Part I had dealt with the pay and
allowances and pension of the employees of the Government of Kerala, and
Part II had dealt with these matters of the employees of the High Court of Kerala.
For the University staff also, the Commission has adopted the same principles
as for the government employees, and so this has to be read with Part I. A major
part of the salary expenditure of Universities is on the teaching staff, whose
salaries are governed by the UGC/AICTE schemes, and they are outside the
purview of the terms of reference of this Commission. In respect of non-teaching
staff, while the core structure is uniform in the various Universities, there are
minor differences also. We have attempted some standardization, but it was not
found necessary or practical to have precise unification of the scales of pay and
allowances of all categories.
A key reform required in the Universities is the large-scale adoption of
technology to provide all possible services to the students and the teachers and
to assist in the management of the organization. The Universities have made
some progress in the matter, especially in respect of examinations. Much more
could be done. Another positive development is the move to establish a library
network linking the University Libraries.
The Commission’s recommendations in respect of other matters pertaining to
the Universities will be given in Part VII of the Report.
The Commission acknowledges the benefit of its interactions with Prof Rajan
Gurukkal, Vice Chairman, Kerala State Higher Education Council and with the
Vice Chancellors and Registrars of the Universities.

professions, who will also be cultivated citizens imbued with a sense


of social justice.
iv. To strive to promote equality and social justice and to reduce social
and cultural differences through diffusion of knowledge.
v. To foster in the teachers and students and through them in society
generally the attitudes and values needed for developing the good life.

1.5 In India, the Universities are regulated by the University Grants


Commission established under the University Grants Commission Act, 1956.
Universities in Kerala, as in any other Indian States, are autonomous institutions
established by Acts of the State Legislature. They have their own administrative
structures and management styles. The Governor of Kerala and the Minister for
Higher Education are, by virtue of their offices, Chancellor and Pro-Chancellor
of the Universities respectively. Vice-Chancellors and Pro-Vice Chancellors of
the Universities are appointed by the Governor. Registrar, Controller of
Examinations, Finance Officer are the next higher statutory officers in the
Universities. Vice-Chancellor is the chief executive and academic authority of a
University. The academic and the administrative matters are generally
organised and overseen by authorities such as Senate, Syndicate, Academic
Council, Board of Studies, Faculties, etc. in the University. The Government of
Kerala provides annual plan and non-plan grants to the Universities, which
constitute their major source of revenue for various developmental and
establishment expenditure.

1.6 There are two streams of officers in all Universities, namely (1) teaching
faculties and librarians covered under AICTE/UGC Schemes and (2) non-
teaching officers under State Pay Structure. As mandated by the Terms of
Reference, it has been the responsibility of the Commission to examine the
existing pay structure and other benefits of the University employees who are
borne on the State scales of pay.

1.7 Now twelve Universities come under the purview of the Commission
with the addition of APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University and Thunchath
Ezhuthachan Malayalam University to the existing number of ten during the last
pay revision, and all of them have put forth their valuable proposals &
perspectives on pay revision for consideration by the Commission.
The Commission has given anxious consideration to the proposals and the

demands raised in the representations of employees’/pensioners’ associations.


The Commission has also held discussions with the Vice Chancellors and the
Registrars as well as the office bearers of employees’/pensioners’ associations
through Video Conference. The recommendations of the Commission are
detailed in the Chapters that follow.

REVISION OF PAY SCALES

Introduction
2.1 The Commission has submitted its Report-Part I on revision of pay and
allowances of the State Government employees and teachers, to Government on
29.01.2021. The Commission has explained in that Report certain general
principles and practices adopted while making recommendations for the
revision of pay of Government employees. The following principles guide the
Commission in its approach to the pay revision of University employees:

(1) As the financial positions of the State Government and the Universities
are tenuous, every recommendation involving financial commitment has
to be considered in the backdrop of the resources crunch that is unlikely
to ease in the immediate future.
(2) Normal scale to scale revision would be the norm, and changes in scales
of pay are recommended only in exceptional cases with adequate
justification.
(3) Giving higher scales to any categories generally affects the parity
established over long periods of time; such decisions are taken after
meticulous scrutiny.
(4) Allowances have been given normal increase by 10%, except where the
rates are higher than those for comparable categories in Government, in
which case the allowances have been retained at the current level.
(5) Stagnation is not a common phenomenon; there could be functional
stagnation in specialised posts, but financial stagnation is rare,
considering that there are promotional opportunities through regular
promotions, grade promotions and ratio promotions, apart from yearly
increments and half-yearly DA increase. In any case, anyone who has not
spent at least eight years in a post cannot have a grievance about
stagnation.

Chapter-2: Revision of Pay Scales

2.2 The Commission recommends that the Master Scale of Pay, the scales of
pay and rates of common Allowances proposed for the State Government
employees in the Commission’s Report-Part I may be extended to the employees
of the Universities also. Accordingly, the following recommendations are made:

2.5 The revision of pay in the proposed scales of pay may be given effect from
01.07.2019, as recommended in the case of the State Government employees.

Stage to Stage Revision and Rules for Fixation of Pay


2.6 Stage to Stage Revision: The Commission recommends a simplified
method of stage-to-stage fixation for fixing pay in the revised scales of pay, as
proposed for the State Government employees, as per which stage of pay in
existing scale as on the effective date of pay revision (i.e. 01.07.2019) will be
replaced by corresponding new stage in revised scale. The existing stages of pay
and the corresponding revised stages of pay are shown in the Stage to Stage
Fixation Table given below. Thus, the revision of pay involves only replacement
of existing pay stage with the corresponding new pay stage as provided in the
Table as on the date of effect of pay revision.

2.7 Rules for Fixation of Pay: As the fixation involves just replacing the
existing stage of pay with the corresponding stage of pay as provided in the
Stage to Stage Fixation Table in Paragraph No. 2.6 above, administrative exercise

Chapter-2: Revision of Pay Scales

for fixation of pay would be reduced to a large extent. While switching over to a
new system like this, the possible impediment would be cases where various
kinds of pay other than basic pay co-exist with the pre-revised basic pay.
Appropriate remedies have been provided for addressing such cases to protect
employees against any monetary loss. Taking all these into consideration, the
Commission has framed rules for fixation of pay as below:

(1) The revised scales of pay will come into force with effect from 01.07.2019.
(2) All employees who were in service as on 01.07.2019 shall come over to the
revised scale of pay with effect from 01.07.2019. There will be no option
facility to elect another date for pay revision.
(3) The pay in the revised scale as on 01.07.2019 will be the corresponding
revised pay stage of pre revised pay as provided in the Stage to Stage
Fixation Table under Paragraph No.2.6 above. However, if the
corresponding revised stage is less than the minimum of the revised scale
of the post, the pay will be fixed at the minimum. There will be no fixation
exercise for calculation of revised pay as done in previous pay revisions.
(4) In cases where the existing pay as on 01.07.2019 is retrospectively changed
after 01.07.2019 for any reason, the pay so changed will be revised as
provided in the Stage to Stage Fixation Table under Paragraph No.2.6
above.
(5) All appointments and promotions made on or after 01.07.2019 shall be
deemed to have been made in the revised scale of pay and pay will be
regulated accordingly.
(6) The existing emoluments for the purpose of these rules will be the basic
pay drawn as on 01.07.2019 in the existing scale of pay. Increments, if any,
accrued on 01.07.2019 will also be reckoned.
(7) Existing scale of pay for the purpose of these rules is the scale of pay
immediately prior to 01.07.2019.
(8) In cases where Personal Pay is existing in the pre revised scale of pay,
revised pay stage in the revised scales shall be arrived at based on the pre
revised basic pay only. After arriving at the revised pay stage, existing
Personal Pay will be revised by multiplying it with the factor of 1.28 and
the result will be rounded off to the next multiple of ₹ 100. If the amount
so obtained is equal to or greater than the amount of increment(s) next
above the pay fixed in the revised scale, an amount of Personal Pay equal
to the sum of increment(s) in the revised scales of pay will be subsumed
into the basic pay in the revised scale of pay. The remaining portion of
Personal Pay, if any, after subsumed into basic pay will be continued in

Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III 11


Chapter-2: Revision of Pay Scales

the revised scales as Personal Pay. In other cases where the revised
Personal Pay as arrived at above is less than an increment, the Personal
Pay will be continued as such in the revised scale without absorption in
future increase in pay.
(9) Residuary Pay existing in the pre-revised pay structure will not be
reckoned for determination of pay stage in the revised scale. The existing
Residuary Pay in the pre-revised scale will be multiplied by a factor of
1.28 and the result will be rounded to the next multiple of ₹ 10. The
Residuary Pay so fixed will be retained in the revised scale and the
existing conditions of payment will continue.
(10) Special Pay existing in the pre-revised pay structure will not be reckoned
for determination of pay stage in the revised scale. The existing Special
Pay in the pre-revised scale will be multiplied by a factor of 1.28 and the
result will be rounded to the next multiple of ₹ 10. The Special Pay so fixed
will be retained in the revised pay scales provided such Special Pay is not
available in the revised pay scale.
(11) Stagnation increment existing in the pre-revised pay structure will not be
reckoned for determination of pay stage in the revised scale. However,
the number of stagnation increments drawn in the pre-revised scale will
be allowed in the revised scale at the rate of last increments in the scale.
(12) In the case of an employee enjoying Personal Pay, Special Pay and
Stagnation Increment at the same time in the pre revised pay structure,
Special Pay and Personal pay will be retained in the revised pay structure,
each multiplied by a factor of 1.28 and rounded to the next multiple of
₹10. But Stagnation increment will be retained as provided under Rule 11.
(13) If the amount arrived by multiplication of Personal Pay and Special Pay
by the factor provided is a multiple of ₹ 10 or ₹ 100 as the case may be, the
amounts will not be rounded off to the next multiple.
(14) The existing date of increment shall not undergo any change. In all cases
where the minimum of the scale of pay of an employee is greater than the
pay stage eligible with effect from 01.07.2019 in accordance with the Stage
to Stage Fixation Table under Paragraph No. 2.6 above, the date of next
increment will be on completion of one year of service from that date.
(15) In the case of an Officer who is on deputation/ foreign service and has
opted for the pay of the deputation post or is on leave without allowances
or is under suspension as on 01.07.2019, his pay will be fixed under these
rules on the date of his rejoining duty on the basis of pay last drawn
immediately before 01.07.2019. In cases where the officer on deputation/
foreign service as on 01.07.2019 has opted for the grade pay and

12 Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III


Chapter-2: Revision of Pay Scales

allowances of his cadre post, he will be allowed revised pay as if he were


continuing in his parent department.
(16) In the case of employees who are continuing on LWA on 01.07.2019, their
pay will be fixed in the revised scale as on the date of return from leave
on the basis of pay last drawn before entering on leave. However, if LWA
is granted under Rule 91A Part I KSRs or on Medical Certificate to an
Officer, both of which qualify for increment under Rule 33(b)(2) KSR, Part
I, the pay of such an officer will be fixed on the date of return from leave
by counting the increment accrued on 01.07.2019.
(17) Provisional employees recruited on scales of pay through employment
exchanges or otherwise who were in service on 30.06.2019 and continued
thereafter shall be eligible only for the minimum of the revised scale of
pay with effect from 01.07.2019.
(18) An employee whose increment is withheld for want of declaration of
probation as on 01.07.2019 will be allowed the benefit of pay revision on
the basis of the pay actually drawn as on 01.07.2019 and he will continue
on that pay till the date of effect of declaration of probation. The pay so
fixed will be revised to the corresponding stage in accordance with the
Stage to Stage Fixation Table in Paragraph No. 2.6 above on declaration of
probation, notionally counting the increment accrued but withheld.
Monetary benefit of revision of fixation will be admissible only from the
effective date of declaration of probation. He will draw his next increment
on the normal date.
(19) Regular employees who have got a new appointment either through by
transfer or by PSC appointment, for which pre service training with
stipend is mandatory and the employees were on such training as on
01.07.2019, their pay on 01.07.2019 will be revised based on the actual pay
drawn in the former post prior to 01.07.2019, and after completion of such
training, pay in the new post will be fixed as per the relevant rules in KSR
on the date of assuming duty in the new post.
(20) The existing system of allowing stagnation increment will continue.
Maximum number of stagnation increments allowed will be five, out of
which four will be annual and fifth one biennial, subject to the condition
that maximum basic pay after adding stagnation increment shall not
exceed maximum of the Master scale.

in spite of specific tables for stage to stage revision/allowances, and in such cases
recovery will have to be effected from those who received pay in excess. In order
to facilitate recovery, it may be ensured that all employees have furnished
undertaking as prescribed in G.O.(P) No.169/2019/Fin dated 13/12/2019.

Existing and proposed scales of pay for various categories of posts in


Universities

2.11 The existing and proposed scales of pay of various categories of posts in
the Universities are mentioned in Chapter 4.

20 Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III


CHAPTER 3
___________________________________________
REVISION OF ALLOWANCES

3.1 The Commission recommends that the existing rates of various


allowances admissible to the employees of the Universities may be revised as
follows.

Dearness Allowance
3.2 The Commission has recommended calculation of Dearness Allowance
(DA) to State Government employees based on a new formula with effect from
01/07/2019 which is the effective date of pay revision. The rates of DA as
announced by the State Government for State Government employees with
effect from 01/07/2019 may be extended to the employees of the Universities
also.

House Rent Allowance


3.3 In the case of the State Government employees, the Commission has
recommended to discontinue the existing slab system and fixed amount of
House Rent Allowance (HRA) and to pay HRA as a percentage of basic pay on
the basis of a revised classification of places, subject to a ceiling on the maximum
amount of HRA, as detailed below:
Sl. Class Places % of Mini Maxim
No. Basic mum um
Pay amou amoun
nt (₹) t (₹)
1 A • The Corporation limits of the cities of 10% 2300 10000

within a radius of 3 kilometres from
Civil Station, Kakkanad;

District Headquarters
4 D All Panchayaths 4% 1200 4000

Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III 21


Chapter-3: Revision of Allowances

The Commission recommends that the employees of Universities may be


allowed HRA as a percentage of their basic pay at the rates corresponding to the
class of places and subject to the ceilings mentioned above.

3.4 The Commission has excluded the institutions within the limits of 1 Km
from the city limits, taking into account the fact that, now the limits of
Corporations are spread over vast area and even semi-rural areas are included
within the Corporation limits. However, every individual employee may be
assured 10% hike in the existing amount of HRA or the new rate applicable to
their places whichever is higher.

3.5 It may be provided that for the purpose of HRA, basic pay as on the 1st
day of the month only will be reckoned, and change in pay in the middle of a
month will not be considered. The employees who are not under State pay
pattern but are drawing HRA at the rates applicable for State Government
employees, may also draw HRA at the above rates.

3.6 Rent recovery is the levy of rent from the employees who are occupying
Government quarters. At present, the employees in the existing scales of pay of
₹35700-75600 and above have to pay 2% of basic pay as rent, while those in the
existing scales of pay of up to ₹32300-68700 are exempted from payment of rent.
The Commission recommends for Rent Recovery from the University employees
occupying quarters provided by University at the following rates in the new
scales.

Range Rate
Those who are in the scale of pay up to ₹45600-95600 No Recovery
Those who are in the scale of pay of and above 2% of basic pay
₹50200-105300

In the case of employees who do not come under the State Government scales of
pay (e.g. All India Service Officers, those on UGC/AICTE scale), rent recovery
may be 2% of Basic Pay.

3.7 Employees who are allotted quarters shall not be eligible for HRA.

City Compensatory Allowance


3.8 In view of the considerable hike proposed in the rate of HRA, the
Commission has recommended in the case of State Government employees that
the system of payment of City Compensatory Allowance (CCA) may be
discontinued when the revised rate of HRA is implemented. Similarly, the

22 Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III


Chapter-3: Revision of Allowances

Commission recommends that payment of CCA to the employees of the


Universities may also be discontinued once the revised rate of HRA is
implemented.

Spectacle Allowance
3.9 Reimbursement of the cost incurred for the purchase of spectacles may
continue. The existing maximum fixed at ₹1200 may be enhanced to ₹1500. The
reimbursement may be allowed once in five years as of now.

Special allowance to differently abled employees


3.10 The Commission recommends to revise the existing rate of ₹1000 to ₹1100
per month, as recommended for State Government employees.

Education allowance to the parents having differently abled children


3.11 The Commission recommends the rate of Education Allowance admissible
to employees having mentally/physically challenged children studying in
general schools and special schools be revised from the existing ₹600 per month
to ₹1000 per month. The existing conditions for the admissibility of this
allowance will continue.

Child Care Allowance


3.12 The rate of Child Care Allowance may be revised from ₹1500 per month
per child to ₹ 1750 per month per child, and the annual ceiling of ₹ 18000 may be
revised to ₹21000. The existing conditions as laid down in G.O
(P)No.172/2013/(150)/Fin dated 16.04.2013, G.O(P)No.360/13/(171)/Fin dated
24.07.2013 and G.O(P)No.110/2016/(15)/Fin dated 30.07.2016 for the
admissibility of the allowance may continue.

Charge Allowance
3.13 Charge allowance is granted to an officer who performs the duty of an
additional post in addition to those attached to his regular post. This allowance
is allowed based on the conditions prescribed in Rule 53 and 53A Part I KSR. The
existing rate of Charge Allowance for holding full additional charge is 4% of the
minimum of the scale of pay attached to the additional post and that for
discharging current duties is 2% of the minimum of the scale of pay of additional
post. The existing rates may continue.

UNIVERSITY OF KERALA
4.2 The University of Kerala was founded as the University of Travancore in
the erstwhile princely State of Travancore in 1937. During the 8 decades since
then, the University of Kerala shrunk geographically, but transformed itself in
many ways. At present, the University has sixteen faculties and forty-one
departments of teaching and research in addition to study centres and other
departments. Teaching, Research and Knowledge extension are the mandates of
the Departments. The University has also a number of study centres in
specialized areas and has over 150 affiliated colleges.

4.3 The Commission, having considered the proposals submitted by the


Registrar of the University, and the demands of the Service Organizations and
individuals, makes the following recommendations:

Kerala operating in Calicut were annexed to the new University along with 54
constituent colleges spread across seven northern districts.

Sciences. The University encompasses three faculties- the Faculty of Veterinary
and Animal Sciences, the Faculty of Dairy Science and the Faculty of Poultry

individuals, makes the following recommendations:

(i) Considering the higher qualification of B.Sc Agriculture now prescribed

post may be revised corresponding to ₹25200-54000.
(ii) The posts of Chief Artist and Duffedar on scales of pay corresponding to
₹35700-75600 and ₹18000-41500 may be included in the schedule of the
University.
(iii) The post of Duplicating Machine Operator may be treated as vanishing
category and the post may be abolished as and when the present
incumbents vacate the post.
(iv) The posts of Operation Theatre Technician, Operation Theatre Assistant,
Photographer, Programmer, Specimen Curator, Hostel Manager Grade II,
Workshop Attendant, Dairy Assistant and Data Entry Operator may be
excluded from the schedule as these posts are not existing in the
University.
(v) All other posts existing in the University may be placed in the
corresponding revised scales of pay. Allowances may be given normal
increase by 10%, except where the rates are higher than those for
comparable categories in Government, in which case it will be retained at
current level.

THUNCHATH EZHUTHACHAN MALAYALAM UNIVERSITY


4.35 The Thunchath Ezhuthachan Malayalam University was established by
the Government of Kerala in 2012. The initial Ordinance of 2012 was replaced in
April 2013 by the Thunchath Ezhuthachan Malayalam University Act 2013. The
University came into being on 1st November 2012. The objectives of the
University are to formulate and implement various programmes in such way as
to make proud about mother tongue and to encourage studies among
malayalees. The University is mandated to study, document and preserve
various cultural expressions and manifestations. Besides, the University will
also take up research work to make Malayalam resilient to the possibilities of IT.

4.36 The Commission, having considered the proposals submitted by the


Registrar of the University, and the demands of the Service Organizations makes
the following recommendation:

Normal revision may be allowed to the posts existing in the University.

4.37 The categories of posts with the existing and proposed scales of pay are
shown below:

CHAPTER 5
___________________________________________
LEAVE

Introduction
5.1 Various kinds of leave allowed to the employees are Earned Leave, Half
Pay Leave, Commuted Leave, Leave Without Allowances, Special Disability
Leave, Hospital Leave, Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave, Leave Not Due etc.
The Commission recommends to continue the respective rules without any
change. The Commission also proposes introduction of two new kinds of leave
namely Parents Care Leave and Child Care Leave and modification of Paternity
Leave, as recommended in the case of State Government employees.

Paternity Leave
5.2 The Commission recommends that the duration of Paternity Leave may
be enhanced from 10 days to 15 days. The Leave may be extended for the
purpose of child adoption also subject to the same conditions as applicable to
the leave.

Parents Care Leave


5.3 Parents Care Leave for 365 days may be granted to employees, with 40%
salary for taking care of the needs of parents of employees or parents of their
spouses in cases where the parent is bed ridden or affected by dementia and is
unable to take care of his/her needs. The leave may be allowed to be availed of
in not more than two spells. The grant of such leave may be subject to the
following further conditions namely:-

1) That the leave may be granted only if the request for leave is supported
by a certificate from the Medical Officer showing the treatment details
(Form of Medical Certificate is to be prescribed by Government).
2) That leave may be allowed to be combined with vacation and other kind
of leave except LWA under Appendix XIIA, XIIB and XIIC Part I KSRs.
3) In the case of service benefits, the leave may be treated as equivalent to
Maternity leave except for probation.
4) That such leave may not be debited against the leave account but its
details may be entered in the Service Book.

Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III 99


Chapter-5: Leave

Child Care Leave


5.4 Child Care Leave may be allowed to female employees for 365 days with
Leave Salary equivalent to 40% of duty pay she would have drawn had she been
on duty. In the case of service benefits the leave may be treated as equivalent to
maternity leave except for probation. The leave may be availed of in not more
than two spells before the child completes 3 years of age.

100 Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III


CHAPTER 6
___________________________________________
PROMOTIONAL AVENUES

Regular Promotions
6.1 In the case of regular promotions from lower to higher scale of pay, the
Universities follow the provisions in Rule 28 A or Rule 37 (a), Part I, KSR for
fixation of pay. No modification is necessary to these rules. But fixation of pay
under Rule 28A Part I KSR does not apply to promotions/appointments to posts
carrying higher time scale of pay, the minimum of which exceeds ₹68700. In such
cases, fixation is allowed under Rule 37(a) Part I KSR. This monetary limit may
be enhanced to its corresponding revised pay of ₹95600.

6.2 In the case of promotions/by transfer appointments involving no change


in scale of pay, the benefit of one advance increment may continue without
prejudice to the normal increments. This advance increment will not be granted
in the case of promotion from Time Bound Higher Grade to a regular promotion
post in the same scale of pay and in the case of appointment to interchangeable
posts in the same scale of pay.

6.3 If there are two or more consecutive promotion posts / by transfer


appointments to posts on the same or identical scale of pay, the benefit of
advance increment may be limited to the first promotion only with effect from
01.04.2021.

Ratio promotions
6.4 Ratio promotions involve placing a particular category of post in different
grades by applying a fixed ratio or percentage. Ratio based promotion normally
does not result in any change of duties and responsibilities. It is primarily a tool
for avoiding stagnation in a post by giving a hike in pay and scales in conformity
with seniority in a particular category. For all technical purposes, it is considered
as normal promotion and the same fixation rules apply as in the case of cadre
promotions.

6.5 Application of ratio is from lower grade to higher grade according to the
total cadre strength of that post. As per the existing system, the highest grade in
the ratio will not be granted unless the total number of posts of that category is

Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III 101


Chapter-6: Promotional Avenues

less than the sum of all the lower figures in the ratio provided. For example, if
four grades of a particular category are placed in the ratio 2:2:2:1, then the
highest grade will not be given to any incumbent if the cadre strength of the post
is less than 7.

6.6 The Commission has examined the existing system of ratio promotions
and following standards are re-iterated for awarding ratio-based promotions.
(i) Ratio higher grades will not be given among different categories
involving change of duties even if a ratio is provided between those
categories in the Pay Revision Order.
(ii) Ratio higher grades may be calculated on the basis of single unit.
One Single Unit should have total number of posts equal to the sum
of all the integers provided in the ratio specified.

For Example, if the ratio specified among four grades of a particular


category is 2:2:2:1, then one unit should have 7 posts-two each in
the first three grades and one in the highest grade.
(iii) The Commission finds that ratio promotions are granted between
posts in Subordinate Service and State Service also and such a
system may be dispensed with. As far as possible, the Commission
has strived to discontinue this practice. If there are any instances
unnoticed by the Commission, the Government may dispense with
ratio-based higher grade system between posts in Subordinate
Service and State Service.

Time Bound Higher Grade Promotion with effect from 01.04.2021


6.7 Time Bound Higher Grade Scheme is intended to guarantee a fixed
number of promotions to employees who do not have adequate promotional
avenues and are compelled to remain in the same post for long years. The
Commission recommends that the existing scheme of granting Time Bound
Higher Grades on completion of 8,15,22 and 27 years may continue.

6.8 The guidelines for granting Time Bound Higher Grades (TBHG) may be
as follows:
(1) Employees who remain in their entry posts in the scales of pay
ranging from ₹23000-50200 to ₹85000-143600 will be given higher grades as
mentioned below on completion of following specified periods of service in their
posts in the scales of pay mentioned in the tables, subject to para (7) below.

Grade proposed above, then the qualified incumbent will be given the scale of
pay of the regular promotion post in the direct line of promotion as Time Bound
Higher Grade scale. Unqualified hands will be allowed the next higher scale of
pay above that of the scale of pay of the post held at that time, in the Standard
Scales of Pay under Paragraph No.2.4 in Chapter 2.

104 Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III


Chapter-6: Promotional Avenues

(8) The benefit of scale of pay of promotion posts is limited to non-gazetted


entry posts in the entry scales of pay ranging from ₹23000-50200 to ₹45600-95600.
Among the categories in Table III, those coming under the pay scales ranging
from ₹50200-105300 to ₹56500-118100 will be allowed TBHG as specified in the
Table.

(9) If an officer is granted 1st or 2nd TBHG in the entry scale of pay of ₹50200-
105300 or above by virtue of the provision for eligibility of scale of pay of
promotion posts, further TBHG will not be given in the scales of pay of
promotion posts. In such cases, further TBHGs will be given in the scales of pay
provided in the Table III only. If the 1st or 2nd TBHG scale of pay sanctioned to
an officer is higher than the scale of pay for next higher grades in the table, the
scale of pay next above the existing grade scale of the incumbent in the list of
standard scales will be given.

(10) In the orders sanctioning TBHGs in the scale of pay of the promotion post
in the direct line, the relevant rules which prescribe the method of appointment
and qualification of the post, the scale of pay of which is given as the TBHG to
the incumbent, shall be mentioned. If such rules/ orders are not available,
grades will be sanctioned in the scale of pay specified in the Table concerned.

(11) If an officer had been granted regular promotion to a post on a lower scale
of pay than that proposed in the Table, before completion of the prescribed
qualifying service required for TBHG, the scale of pay of TBHG specified in the
Table will be given on completion of prescribed years of qualifying service for
getting TBHG by reckoning the total service in both the lower post and
promotion post taken together. In such cases the fixation under Rule 30, Part I
KSR will be admissible and the next increment will be allowed on the normal
increment date in the earlier promoted post.

(12) In all cases of regular promotions from Time Bound Higher Grades to post
(equivalent to that of the grade post) carrying the same or higher time scale of
pay, the pay in the promoted scale will be fixed in terms of Rule 30, Part I KSR.
The next increment in the same or higher scale will fall due on the date of
increment in the Time Bound Higher Grade post. This is applicable only to an
officer promoted from Time bound Higher Grade to the equivalent regular
promotion post on the same or higher scale of pay which is in the regular line of
promotion of the post held by him. In the case of an officer promoted or
appointed ‘by transfer’ to a post which is not equivalent to the Time Bound
Higher Grade enjoyed by him and carries lower, same or higher scale of pay,

Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III 105


Chapter-6: Promotional Avenues

fixation of pay will be made under the appropriate rules of fixation of pay in
KSRs.

(13) In the case of an employee enjoying the Time Bound Higher Grade
Promotion in the pre-revised grade scale, his pay revision shall be done in the
eligible Time Bound Higher Grade scale.

For eg:- Suppose there are two posts ‘A’ and ‘B’ - with ‘B’ as the immediate regular
promotion post of ‘A’. The pre-revised scale of pay of the post ‘B’ was ₹26500-
56700. The corresponding revised scale of pay of this scale is ₹37400-79000.
Suppose, the post of ‘B’ is placed in the revised scale of pay ₹39300-83000 by
giving one level upgradation in scale of pay in this pay revision. The post ‘A’ was
given 1st TBHG in the pre-revised scale of pay of ‘B’ [₹26500-56700] prior to
01.07.2019, Para 13 provides that the pay of the post ‘A’ should be revised in the
revised scale of pay of ₹39300-83000, and not in the corresponding revised scale
of pay of his existing scale of ₹26500-56700 i.e., ₹37400-79000”.

(14) In the case of Time Bound Higher Grade promotion, the pay in the higher
time scale will be fixed in terms of Rule 28 A Part I KSR i.e. one notional
increment will be given and thereafter the pay in the higher grade scale will be
fixed at the next stage above the pay in the lower time scale, arrived after adding
notional increment, as on the date of the higher grade promotion. However, he
will draw his next increment in the grade scale on the date he would have drawn
his normal increment in the lower scale. But in the case of an officer who got the
benefit of more than two increments on account of fixation of pay on sanction of
higher grade, he will draw his next increment on completion of one year service
in the grade scale. There will not be any option to elect a convenient date for
sanction of TBHG and the fixation on Time Bound Higher Grade Promotion shall
be done on the due date itself.

(15) In the matter of determination of scales of pay of TBHG on 2 nd / 3rd / 4th


THBG(s), in cases where the existing scale of pay of an incumbent by virtue of
his first/ second/third promotions/TBHG(s), is higher or equal to the respective
grade scales provided for 2nd /3rd / 4th THBG in the table provided, TBHG will
be granted in the next higher scale of pay of the existing scale of pay of the
incumbent in the list of standard scales as illustrated below:
For e.g., The scale of pay of post A is ₹31100-66800. The scale of pay of its 1st and
2nd promotion posts are B and C in the scales of pay ₹37400-79000 and ₹50200-105300.
Hence the second TBHG of an entry cadre post A will be given in the scale of pay ₹50200-
105300. Assume there is no further promotion posts above post C. As per TBHG table,

106 Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III


Chapter-6: Promotional Avenues

the scale of pay applicable for 3rd TBHG to categories having entry scale of ₹31100-66800
is ₹43400-91200. In this case, the incumbent is already in the scale of pay of ₹50200-
105300, but he has to be given 3rd TBHG and consequent fixation of pay as he has availed
only two promotions in his entire service. In such cases the above clause will apply and
the 3rd TBHG of the incumbent will be given in the next higher scale of pay of the second
promotion post i.e., ₹51400-110300 in the list of standard scales.

(16) The term ‘entry post’ shall be defined as the post to which an employee is
initially appointed in University service by direct recruitment by the competent
authority. Appointments made by “by transfer” from other categories will also
be treated as equivalent to direct recruitment for allowing the benefit of Time
Bound Higher Grade. In the case of an employee who has been initially
appointed in one post in University gets appointment subsequently by direct
recruitment (PSC) or by other means in another post in University, his entry post
will be the newly appointed post, and in such cases Time Bound Higher Grade
Promotion will be granted based on the new entry post only. Service in different
posts having same scale will not be treated as qualifying service.

(17) All promotions in the regular line of promotion from Subordinate Service
to State Service (e.g promotion as Section Officer from Assistant Section Officer)
are also termed as 'by transfer' appointment. However, further Time Bound
Higher Grade promotion will not be granted by reckoning the service in the
promoted posts ( Section Officer) taken as entry post on analogy with by transfer
appointment i.e., promotion to a post in the direct line of promotion in the
University made on the basis of select list prepared by the Departmental
Promotion Committee, will not be treated as direct recruitment for allowing the
benefit of Time Bound Higher Grade. All appointment 'by transfer' except the
promotions/appointments from Subordinate Service to State Service as
mentioned above will be treated as equivalent to direct recruitment for
sanctioning Time Bound Higher Grade

(18) The service rendered in the entry post and reckoned for normal
increments will be treated as the qualifying service for granting Time Bound
Higher Grades in that post.

(a) Following service period will be reckoned as qualifying service for TBHG:
(i) The period during which increment(s) are barred without cumulative
effect.
(ii) Dies-non period
(b) Following service period will not be reckoned as qualifying service for

(i) Period of LWA, not reckoned for increment
(ii) Increment bar period with cumulative effect
(iii) Service not counted for increment as a punishment
(iv) The period of temporary relinquishment of promotion
(v) The period in which promotion is barred

(19) Those who relinquish regular promotion, whether permanently or for


specified periods, will not be given the benefit of Time Bound Higher Grade
promotions. Similarly, an employee who got the benefit of Time Bound Higher
Grade promotion will on no account be permitted to relinquish regular
promotion to that grade either permanently or for specified periods.

(20) Employees in the entry scales of pay of ₹23700-52600 and ₹24400-55200 will
be eligible for reckoning their last grade service on ₹23000-50200 also for 3rd and
4th Time Bound Higher Grades. This benefit will not be allowed to 1 st and 2nd
Time Bound Higher Grades. However, the 4th TBHG will be given after
completion of 5 years from the date of effect of 3rd TBHG promotion.

(21) Rules for granting Higher Grade reckoning military service which counts
for civil pension of ex-servicemen will be applicable for University service also.
Existing rules in this regard may be continued.

(22) The general terms and conditions of TBHG promotions may be as follows:

(1) Since promotions to the time bound higher grade posts are granted on the
basis of completed years of service prescribed for each grade, after converting
the existing lower post held by the employee to a post on higher scale of pay,
there will be no resultant vacancy in the lower post to be filled up. The question
of resultant vacancy arises only when the employee is promoted to a regular post
in the same / higher scale in the usual manner. The Heads of Department /
Appointing Authorities are empowered to fix higher grades strictly observing
the provisions contained in orders issued by government. They are also
empowered to convert the existing lower grade posts into higher grade posts for
the purpose of accommodating the incumbents on higher grades. Number of
time bound higher grade posts sanctioned in excess of that admissible will have
to be adjusted against the regular vacancies arising in future. Promotions to time
bound higher grade post will not confer seniority on the promotee. When time

bound higher grades are granted, following designations will be given in the
following three circumstances.

i. TBHG on Scales of pay of promotion posts: The abbreviation ‘TBHG-


P’ will be inserted with the existing designation of the employee
within brackets.
ii. TBHG on Table Scales: The abbreviation ‘TBHG-T’ will be inserted
with the existing designation of the employee within brackets.
iii. TBHG on unqualified Scales: The abbreviation ‘TBHG-U’ will be
inserted with the existing designation of the employee within brackets.

(2) On acquiring test qualification or on becoming eligible for permanent


exemption from acquiring obligatory departmental test qualification in
accordance with Rule 13B of the general rules of KS & SSR 1958, on attaining 50
years of age, they will be granted scale of pay of promotion post with fixation
benefit as per government Decision under Rule 30 Part I KSR. Persons who are
not eligible for permanent exemption by application of Rule 13B of KS & SSR,
1958 even on attaining 50 years of age shall not be eligible for the scale of pay of
promotion post.

(3) Provisional service will be reckoned for TBHG promotion only if the
provisional service has been reckoned for increment in terms of Government
Decision No.2 below Rule 33 Part I KSR.

(4) Declaration of probation is not a necessary condition for sanction of time


bound grade promotion.

(5) Acquisition of test qualification for regular promotion post is not essential for
granting time bound higher grade. But for sanctioning first increment in the time
bound higher grade scale, declaration of probation period of the incumbent is
necessary.

(6) In the case of Last Grade Employees, their full-time service in the various
categories of Last Grade Service (both in the regular and full time contingency
service) in University will be reckoned as qualifying service in the Last Grade
post for granting time bound higher grade. Broken periods of service in the Last
Grade service (either in the regular service or in full time Contingency service)
reckoned for the grant of normal increments will also be taken into account for
purpose of calculating the qualifying service for grade promotions. Part time
Service will not be reckoned as qualifying service for time bound higher grade
promotions in the full-time posts.

Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III 109


Chapter-6: Promotional Avenues

(7) In the case of employees on deputation to other departments, the period spent
on deputation shall be treated as qualifying service for time bound higher grade
in the parent Department, with effect from 16.09.1985 irrespective of the scale of
pay assigned to them in the deputation post (G.O.(P) 944/86/(117)/Fin dated
24.12.1986).

(8) Time bound higher grade promotions will not be given for those who have
relinquished / relinquish regular promotions. Before giving time bound higher
grade promotions, an undertaking will be obtained from the officers concerned
to the effect that he/she will not refuse the regular promotion as and when it
becomes due.

(9) Those who are promoted for short spells but reverted to lower post for want
of vacancy and are continuing in the lower post, their service in the higher post
will also be reckoned for computing the prescribed qualifying service for
granting higher grade in the lower post. This order is applicable only to those
employees promoted on regular basis but reverted to lower post for want of
vacancy.

(10) Those who got appointment to higher posts/regular promotion to higher


posts with the benefit of 28A fixation within the period prescribed for grade
promotion are not eligible for further time bound higher grade promotion
during that period. In addition to the service reckoned for increment, the benefits
of 28A fixation enjoyed by the employees within the period prescribed for each
higher grade promotion shall also be taken into account for determining the
eligibility for time bound higher grade promotion.

(11) In the case of regular promotions from TBHG, if the fixation of pay made
under Rule 30 Part I KSR increases basic pay of the incumbent by two or more
increments, such promotions will be counted as promotions for the purpose of
further TBHG.

(23) Before granting TBHG promotions in scales of pay of promotion posts, an


undertaking of willingness will be obtained to the effect that the employee
would not opt any other channel of promotion by bypassing the normal line of
promotion to the post the scale of pay which has been granted as TBHG. In the
absence of such undertaking, time bound higher grade will not be given in the
scale of pay of promotion post even if he is qualified for the promotion post. He
will be given only the time bound higher grade in the scale of pay provided in
the Tables.

CHAPTER 8
___________________________________________
PENSION

Introduction
8.1 The Universities in Kerala have adopted for their employees the
pension system of State Government employees as laid down under Part III
Kerala Service Rules. The Statutes of the Universities have been structured
in that way. So, it has been customary for the last two Pay Revision
Commissions, and for this Commission also, to recommend Pension revision
of University Employees in the same lines as recommended for State
Government Employees.

8.2 The last Pension Revision of University Employees was effected from
01.07.2014 following recommendation of 10th Pay Revision Commission. The
Pensionary benefits were revised strictly in accordance with the principles
followed for revision of Pension of State Government Employees. The
minimum basic pension and family pension were enhanced to ₹8,500/- per
month. The maximum pension was revised to ₹60,000/- and the maximum
family pension (normal rate) to ₹36,000/-. The ceiling on Death cum
Retirement Gratuity was enhanced to ₹14,00,000/-. Commutation was
allowed to continue at 40%. Ex-gratia pension was also allowed on the same
parameters given earlier. Family Pension was extended to Ex-gratia
pensioners with eligibility limited to the spouse only.

8.3 Revised basic pension was arrived at by adding fitment benefit at 18%
of basic pension and by merging Dearness Relief at 80%. This was subject to
the provision that in the case of pensioners having qualifying service of 30
years and above, the consolidated pension so arrived shall not be lower than
50% of the minimum of the corresponding revised scale of the post from
which the pensioner retired.

8.4 Those who are recruited on or after 01.04.2013 have already been
brought under the National Pension System, and so the recommendations
on revision of pension would apply only to pre-01.04.2013 appointees who
are covered under the Statutory Pension System as in force under Part III,
Kerala Service Rules.

Revision of pension of those who retired/ expired prior to 01.07.2019


8.6 The existing basic pension may be multiplied by a factor of 1.38 and
rounded to the next multiple of ₹10.

Revision of family pension of those who retired/ expired prior to 01.07.2019


8.7 The existing family pension may be multiplied by a factor of 1.38 and
rounded to the next multiple of ₹10.

Revision of pension and family pension of those who have retired/ expired
after 01.07.2019
8.8 In respect of those who retire/ expire while in service on or after
01.07.2019, the pensionary benefit shall be calculated with reference to the
revised pay introduced with effect from 01.07.2019.

8.9 The existing system of computation of pension at the rate of 50% of the
average emoluments for the last ten months may be substituted with calculation
of pension on the last pay drawn i.e., pension may be fixed at 50% of the last pay
drawn, subject to the condition that the pay drawn by an employee on
promotion to a higher post in a temporary vacancy should not be reckoned for
calculating pension; in such cases, pension may be calculated on the last pay
notionally fixed as if he had not been promoted. This is recommended for
administrative convenience and may have effect from 01.04.2021. Past cases may

116 Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III

not be reopened. Any representation for reopening old cases may be summarily
rejected.

Qualifying service
8.10 The present system of full pension for 30 years of qualifying service and
minimum pension for 10 years qualifying service may continue.

Death Cum Retirement Gratuity


8.11 This is the lump sum payable to an employee on his retirement or to his
family in the event of his death. The ceiling on maximum amount of DCRG
may be raised to ₹17 Lakhs with effect from 01.04.2021. All other existing rules
on Gratuity may continue without change.

Commutation of pension
8.12 Present rate of commutation of pension @ 40% and the period of
restoration of commuted value of pension on completion of 12 years may
continue.

Voluntary retirement
8.13 As per the existing rules, Retiring Pension (Voluntary Retirement) is
admissible when an employee retires voluntarily after putting in a qualifying
service of 20 years, subject to certain conditions. The most attractive benefit of
voluntary retirement is that the actual periods of qualifying service as on the
intended date of retirement of an employee is increased by a period not
exceeding 5 years subject to certain other conditions mentioned under Rule 56
(vii) Part III KSRs.

8.14 The Commission recommends that the qualifying service for voluntary
retirement may be reduced to 15 years while discontinuing the provision for
addition of five years to the qualifying service, as recommended in the case of
State Government employees.

Higher rates of pension to older pensioners


8.15 Government of India grants additional pension to its pensioners on
completion of 80, 85, 90, 95 and 100 years of age as a measure to mitigate their
hardships at the advanced age. Adoption of such a system by the State is beyond
its fiscal sustainability. However, in consideration of their old age hardships,
Commission recommends to grant ‘Special Care Allowance’ @ ₹1,000/- per
month to the pensioners on completion of 80 years of age.

Report of the XI Pay Revision Commission, Kerala—PART III 117


Chapter-8: Pension

Medical Allowance
8.16 The Medical Allowance to pensioners and family pensioners may be
enhanced to ₹500/- per month and be continued till the implementation of a
Medical Insurance scheme for pensioners and family pensioners.

Full pension to mentally disabled children


8.17 As per the existing Rules, children suffering from physical/mental
disorder or disability are eligible for family pension. There were demands from
several organisations and individuals to grant the amount equal to basic pension
of the pensioner as family pension to the mentally disabled child of the
pensioner. Considering their pathetic and deplorable situation, the Commission
recommends that family pension at the normal rate of pension may be allowed
to mentally disabled children of the deceased employee/pensioner.

II. UGC/AICTE Pensioners


8.18 The minimum and maximum pension, DCRG, Commutation and Medical
Allowance may be fixed as per State pension rules for those who are covered by
UGC/AICTE schemes of pay. The benefit of the current revision including the
enhancement in the maximum limit of pension may be made applicable to them
also.

III. Part Time Contingent Pensioners


Minimum and maximum basic pension/family pension
8.19 Full pension may be at 50 % of last pay for 30 years of qualifying service.
Minimum service for pension may be retained at 10 years as it is now.

8.20 The minimum and maximum of basic pension/family pension may be


enhanced as shown below:

Sl Pension Minimum Maximum

1 Basic Pension ₹5,750 ₹11,485

Chapter-8: Pension

Revision of pension of those who retired prior to 01.07.2019


8.21 The existing basic pension may be multiplied by a factor of 1.38 and
rounded to the next multiple of ₹10. If the amount arrived at falls below 50% of
the minimum of the new scale in the case of a pensioner with 30 years of
qualifying service, then pension will be stepped up to 50 % of the minimum of
the new scale. In the case of pensioners having qualifying service less than 30
years, proportionate pension may be admissible.

Revision of family pension of those who retired prior to 01.07.2019


8.22 The existing family pension shall be multiplied by a factor of 1.38 and
rounded to the next multiple of ₹10/-. If the amount arrived at falls below
30% of the minimum of the new scale in the case of a pensioner then pension
will be stepped up to 30 % of the minimum of the new scale.

Revision of pension and family pension of those who retire/ expire after
01.07.2019
8.23 In respect of those who retire/expire while in service on or after
01.07.2019, the pensionary benefit may be calculated with reference to the
revised pay introduced with effect from 01.07.2019. As in the case of pension of
regular employees, the Commission recommends to substitute the existing
system of computation of pension of Part time Contingent employees at the rate
of 50% of the average emoluments for last ten months with calculation of
pension with reference to the last pay drawn i.e., pension may be fixed at 50% of
the last pay drawn, with effect from 01.04.2021.

Death cum Retirement Gratuity


8.24 DCRG may continue to be calculated by applying the formula i.e.
(Last Pay +D.A.) x QS/2.

Maximum DCRG may be revised to ₹ 3.25 Lakhs with effect from 01.04.2021.

Medical Allowance
8.25 Medical Allowance may be raised to ₹300/- and be continued till the
implementation of Medical Insurance Scheme.

IV. Ex-gratia Pensioners


8.26 Ex-gratia pension is available to the University employees who retired
from service with less than 10 years of qualifying service. The scheme is limited
to the employees who retire from service on superannuation, but do not have
the minimum QS for statutory pension. The Ex-gratia Pension may be revised

payment to ₹5.00 lakhs to the Government employees who die while on duty
under Chapter 11, Para 44 of the Report-Part I. It may be made applicable to the
University employees also.
