Peculiar Increments of 6 th pay Commission
Congratulations, that we have got 6 th pay, which is an increase
in previous pay by20% -120%. In 6 th pay, annual increment is to be
given on 1 st July every year. Whichmeans that an individual will
get first increment after a minimum of 6 months & amaximum of
one & half year. The faculties who have date of joining (DOJ)
from Jan toJune will get first increment after more than 1 year;
where as the faculties who have DOJfrom July to Dec will get
increment after less than 1 year. The same principle is alsoapplied
for the retirement, which means that faculty who born on any date
in year yy willretire on 31 st Dec of year yy+65, which is unified
date of retirement. That means aneffective increment of one year
for those whose date of birth falls in January. Till nowthere is no
peculiarity. But, what about increments during career advancement
schemes.CAS will be given after full 4/5/6 years & not on 1 st
July of those years, which will create
peculiarity. Let us see how.Consider a case where an individual
ABC has joined as assistant professor during Jan-June of year YY.
ABC will be promoted to senior scale in year YY+5
(consideringM.E./M.Tech./M.Phil. as qualification). But, till that
period ABC has got only 4 annualincrements (not 5) as compared to
the individual who has joined in the months of July toDec (where he
has got 5 increments). Now, about the increment for the year YY+5,
asABC has not spent more than 6 months so he is not eligible to get
full increment of year YY+5. Later on ABC will be promoted to
selection grade in year YY+10, again he willnot get full increment
(as 6 months had not completed since previous increment). Later on
ABC will be promoted to the post of Associated Professor in the
year YY+13, againthe same thing will happen. Later on ABC will be
promoted to the post of Professor inthe year YY+16, same thing will
be applied again. So, in those years, how the incrementhas to be
calculated? As 6 months had not completed, so increment on only
basic had to
be given not on basic + AGP. As the individual had not completed
at least 6 months on
higher AGP. This is why; I termed it as peculiar increment.

This table shows the effect on salary if a faculty joins during
Jan-June. Clearly, there is adisadvantage as compared to faculties
whose DOJ falls during July-Dec. The cases of such peculiar
increments are still pending. For example SGSITS has forwarded
suchcases to DTE, MP. Here, in this table I have not considered
increments of any degree.
One can get benefit of such cases, if he has not got such
increments till now.
