[Referred to in Rule 12 (31) and Rule 44 of Part I]  

In the service rules provision is made for grant of special pay [Rule 12 (31), Part I] and compensatory allowances (Rule 44, Part I).  

The additional pay and allowances granted to officers under these rules will be sub-divided into the following classes:-  

Class I (a) Special pay in lieu of higher time scale of pay  

(b) Special pay for specifically arduous nature of work

 

Class II Special pay for work in addition to the normal duties attached to the post

July 1968.

 

Class III [Deleted]  

Class IV Mofussil (Compensatory allowance) hill stations  

Class V *Class V: Deleted  

Class VI Miscellaneous (compensatory allowance)  

Class I.-Special pay in this class are assigned to posts to which special responsibility is attached or which involve work of a specially difficult and arduous nature. No special pay of this class will be granted unless the particular duties for which an allowance is claimed so far differ, in kind or in intensity, from those for the performance of which the service in question was recruited, as to justify a special remuneration.

* [G O(P) No. 252/2002/Fin., Dated 25/04/2002] 

 

Class II.-The cardinal rule which the Government have adopted is that every officer to whom a variety of duties is assigned or to whose post a  number of duties is attached should carry out those duties without extra remuneration unless they involve more than a reasonable days work. In this respect Government are merely giving effect to Rule 14, Part I. If the volume of work assigned to an officer is more than a full day’s work the most suitable course is either to increase the staff, should  

the amount of work, justify a fresh whole time appointment, or to redistribute the work among the members of the sanctioned staff.

Special pay in this class will be granted only when neither of these alternatives is possible.The grant of a special pay under this class will be restricted to cases which strictly satisfy the following test :-  

If the duties are of a kind outside the normal duties of the service, is in addition to the normal work of the service, which the performance of these duties involve really so material as to justify the grant of a separate remuneration in order to secure the contended discharge of those duties by the staff. 

Note.-The allowance sanctioned to the Typists and Stenographers with higher qualification in Typewriting and Shorthand, as the case may be, shall however be treated as ‘Special pay’ falling under this class.
