OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Regulation of the Date of Next Increment in case of Extra-Ordinary

leave (without medical certificate) after implementation of the

CCS(RP) Rules, 2008 – clarification regarding.

Consequent upon the implementation of CCS(RP) Rules 2008, the

increments in the revised pay structure are to be regulated in terms of Rule 10

of the CCS (RP) Rules 2008.This rule states that ‘there will be a uniform date of

annual increment viz. 1st of July every year. Employees completing 6 months

and above in the revised pay structure as on 1st July will be eligible to be

granted the increment.”

2. The issue of regulation of date of next increment in case of EOL (without

medical certificate) after implementation of CCS(RP) Rules 2008, has been

examined in consultation with the Department of Expenditure.

3. It is clarified that except as provided under the conditions laid down in

this Department’s OM dated 18.2.1986, qualifying service of less than six

months on account of EOL (without medical certificate) between 1st July of the

previous year till 30th June of the year under consideration shall have the

effect of postponing the increment to 1st July of the next year. The same

stipulation will also be applicable to those cases where the increment became

due on 1.7.2006. In terms of this Department’s O.M. No. 13017/20/85-Estt. (L)

dated 18.2.1986, EOL granted for the following purposes automatically counts

as qualifying service for pension and for increments without any further

sanctions:-

(i) EOL granted due to inability of a Government servant to join or rejoin

duty on account of civil commotion.

(ii) EOL granted to a Government servant for prosecuting higher technical

Thank you very much sir.

First of all wait ti see when

First of all wait ti see when they will call you for training. From what I see and from experiences of those who posted on this site it is taking many many month between each stages of recruitment process. If they actually start training before next 6 months, join it and ask for leave. Of course it will be without leave and your training will be extended to that extent with loss of seniority.
