Attention all public service professionals! A significant update to the Indian Administrative Service (Pay) Rules, 2007, has been announced, effective retrospectively from January 1, 2006. These new provisions, officially known as the Indian Administrative Service (Pay) Third Amendment Rules, 2009, introduce crucial changes to the pay structure for officers.
Specifically, the previous Pay Band-4 of Rs.37400-67000 plus Grade Pay of Rs.12000, applicable to the Above Super Time Scale of IAS, has been replaced. The new structure implements a Higher Administrative Grade (HAG) scale ranging from Rs.67000 to Rs.79000, with an annual increment of 3%.
For officers promoting to the Super Time Scale, their pay will now be fixed by adding a 3% increment to their current pay in Pay Band-4 and existing grade pay, rounded up to the nearest multiple of 10. This amount, combined with the Super Time Scale’s grade pay, forms the new pay in the pay band.
Furthermore, for those moving from the Super Time Scale to the HAG scale, the pay fixation involves a similar 3% increment calculation based on Pay Band-4 and existing grade pay, plus an additional Rs.2000. This calculation ensures the new Basic Pay in the HAG scale adheres to the minimum of Rs.67000 and does not exceed the maximum of Rs.79000.
It’s important to note that these amendments are designed to ensure fair compensation and have been certified not to adversely affect any member of the Indian Administrative Service, despite their retrospective application.
