Sir,
Sub: Tamil Nadu Revised Scales of Pay Rules, 2009 – Grant of notional
increment to Government Servants who retires on superannuation
on the preceding day of increment due date - Further clarification –
Regarding.
-:2:-
Ref: 1)G.O.Ms.No.234, Finance (PC) Department, dated:01.06.2009.
2) G.O.Ms.No.311, Finance (CMPC) Department,dated:31.12.2014.
3) Government Letter No.5085/CMPC/2015-1,dated:01.06.2015.
*****
In the Government Order second cited, orders were issued to the effect that the
Government servant, whose increment falls due on the day following superannuation, on
completion of one full year of service which are countable for increment under Fundamental
Rule 26, be sanctioned with one notional increment at the rate as described under Rule 6 of
the Tamil Nadu Revised Scales of Pay Rules, 2009 purely for the purpose of pensionery
benefits and not for any other purposes. The above concession of sanction of notional
increment shall take prospective effect from the date of issue of the order (i.e.) 31.12.2014.
2) While implementing the above Government Orders, doubts have been raised in
the following cases:-
(i) Entitlement for the benefit of notional increment in the case of employees who
retired prior to 31—12—2014, completed one full year of service and increment due falls on
the date of following superannuation.
(ii) Entitlement for the benefit of notional increment in cases of re-employment,
especially re-employment of teachers beyond the date of superannuation till the end of
academic year.
3) In this connection, I am to clarify that:-
(i) the benefit of notional increment sanctioned in the Government Order second cited
shall take prospective effect from the date of issue of the order i.e. 31—12—2014 only and
the employees whose increment falls due on completing one year of service on the day
following superannuation and retired prior to 31—12—2014 are not entitled for the benefit of
sanction of notional increment for the purpose of pensionery benefits, and
(ii) The period of re-employment continuously after superannuation for a specific
period, till the end of academic year in case of teachers, is not eligible for the benefit of
notional increment.
4) All the Departments of Secretariat / Heads of Departments are requested to follow the
above instructions scrupulously.
