The Central Government has introduced new regulations for civil servants, specifically those belonging to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) who are serving on deputation to the Union Government. These significant updates, officially known as the Indian Administrative Service (Pay) Fifth Amendment Rules, 1998, came into effect retrospectively from August 1, 1997. A key provision is the establishment of a Central (Deputation on Tenure) Allowance. This allowance applies to IAS officers holding various Central Government posts, including Director, Deputy Secretary, and Under Secretary, particularly those in specific pay scales such as Rs.12750-375-16500 and Rs.15100-400-18300. The allowance is calculated at fifteen percent of the officer’s grade pay, with a maximum cap of Rs. 1,000 per month for certain roles and Rs. 800 per month for others. It is crucial to note that this allowance is only granted during the officer’s standard deputation tenure, and the total remuneration, including this allowance, must not exceed the maximum of the respective pay scale. These amendments were implemented to align with recommendations from the Fifth Central Pay Commission, updating the pay framework for these deputed officers. Importantly, the government has affirmed that the retrospective application of these rules will not negatively impact any member of the Indian Administrative Service.
