CHAPTER IV
PAY
25. Except in the case of personal pay granted in the circumstances defined in Rule 12 (26) (a), the pay of an officer shall not be so increased as to exceed the pay sanctioned for his post without the sanction of Government.
🆀The pay of an officer shall not be so increased as to exceed the pay sanctioned for his post without the sanction of Government. This condition is explained in Rule ____________ of Part I KSR.
A:-Rule 25B:-Rule 27C:-Rule 29D:-Rule 30
Correct Answer:- Option-A:-Rule 25
🆀 Normally, the pay of an officer shall not be more than the pay sanctioned to his post. But in one of the following cases the officer can draw more pay than that sanctioned to his post. Identify
A:-When he draws officiating pay
B:-When he draws special pay
C:-When he is granted the personal pay
D:-None of the above
Correct Answer:- Option-When he is granted the personal pay
26. When an officer is treated as on duty under Rule 12 (7) (iii), the Government may, at their option, authorise payment to him of the pay of his substantive appointment or of any lower rate of pay which they may consider suitable, provided that the pay admissible may, if the Government so direct, be instead of either of the rates just specified, the pay of any officiating appointment which the officer would have drawn but for undergoing such training, subject however to the condition that this rate of pay shall not be allowed for a period longer than that for which the officer would have held the officiating appointment had he not been placed on such course of training.
Note 1.-
A reservist of the Defence Services in the employment of the State Government, when called up for periodical training, receives the pay and allowances to which he is entitled under the Defence Services. He will also receive the excess, if any, of his pay under the Government over the pay under Defence Department. The periods spent in training and on the journey to and from the place of training will be treated as duty for purposes of leave, increments and pension.
Note 2.-
The expressions “the pay of his substantive appointment” and “the pay of any officiating appointment” occurring in the above rule should be taken to mean “the pay which the officer would have drawn in the post which he holds substantively” and “the pay which the officer would have drawn in the officiating appointment but for undergoing the training’’. In neither case, is there any restriction to draw the following kinds of emoluments which the officer would have drawn in the substantive or officiating appointment but for the training
(i) Basic pay
(ii) Special pay granted in lieu of a higher time-scale of pay
(iii) Personal pay
(iv) Any other emoluments specially classed as pay and which are
specifically allowed to be drawn during training
(v) Dearness pay
(vi) Dearness allowance(vii) House rent allowance
Ruling
An officer holding a provisional appointment deputed for training where the period of training is treated as duty will be allowed to draw for the period of training the pay and allowances attached to the provisional appointment, if it is certified by the competent authority that the officer would have held the provisional appointment but for his deputation for training.
27. Rules 28 to 37 apply to time-scale of pay generally. They do not, however apply to any time-scale sanctioned by the Government in so far as they are inconsistent with terms specially so sanctioned for such time-scale.
28. The initial substantive pay of an officer who is appointed substantively to a post on a time-scale of pay is regulated as follows :

If he holds a lien on a permanent post or would hold a lien on such a post had his lien not been suspended, he will draw as initial pay the stage of the time-scale next above his substantive pay in respect of the old post :
Provided that except in cases of re-employment after resignation or removal or dismissal from public service, if he either has previously held substantively or officiated in (i) the same post, or (ii) a permanent or temporary post on the same time-scale, or (iii) a permanent post on an identical time-scale or a temporary post (including a post in a body, incorporated or not, which is wholly or substantially owned or controlled by the Government) on an identical time-scale then the initial pay shall not, except in cases of reversion to the parent cadre governed by item
(iii) above be less than the pay which he drew on the last such occasion and he shall count the period during which he drew that pay on such last and any previous occasions for increment in the stage of the time-scale equivalent to that pay. The service rendered in a post referred to in item (iii) shall, on reversion to the parent cadre, count towards initial fixation of pay, to the extent and subject to the conditions indicated below:-
(a) The officer should have been approved for appointment to the particular grade/post in which the previous service is to be counted;
(b) All his seniors, except those regarded as unfit for such appointment, were serving in posts carrying the scale of pay in which the benefit is to be allowed or in higher posts, whether in the department itself or elsewhere, and at least one junior was holding a post in the department carrying the scale of pay in which the benefit is to be allowed; and
(c) the service will count from the date his junior is promoted and the benefit will be limited to the period the officer would have held the post in his parent cadre had he not been appointed to the ex-cadre post.

If the fixation of pay under this rule on the date of option does not make any change in the pay in the higher time scale, the pay will remain at the same stage till completion of one year from the date of initial fixation (date of promotion) of pay in the higher time scale. Next increment in such cases will be allowed on the completion of one year from the date of initial fixation of pay in the higher time scale of pay.
The competent authority shall incorporate in the promotion order a provision to the effect that the officer shall exercise option within one month from the date of order of promotion or of taking charge in the promoted post whichever is later. The option under this rule shall be in Form No. 18.
Provided that the provisions of this rule shall not apply to promotions *to posts carrying a scale of pay, the minimum pay of which exceeds ₹ 20700. This amendment shall be deemed to have come into force with effect from 26th March 2006.
The limit of ₹ 550 has been revised to ₹ 650 with effect from 1st January 1966[G.O. (P) 261/67/Fin., dated 4th July 1967, G.O.(P) 91/68/Fin., dated 5th March 1968]and from ₹650 to₹900 with effect from 1st July 1968[G.O. (P) 173/70/Fin., dated 20th March 1970]and from ₹900 to ₹1200 with effect from 1st July1973[G.O.(P)136/75/Fin., dated 1st April 1975and from ₹1,200 to ₹1,550 with effect from 1st July 1978[G.O.(P) 493/79/Fin., dated 28th May 1979]and from ₹1550 to ₹2100 with effect from 1st July, 1983[G.O.(P) 1109/87/Fin. dated 23rd December 1987]and from ₹2100 to ₹2640 with effect from 1st July 1988[G.O.(P) 1005/92/Fin. dated 27th November, 1992 **and from ₹12,600 to ₹20700 with effect from 26th March, 2006[G.O.(P) 145/2006/Fin., dated 25th March, 2006]and ₹20,700 to ₹36140 [ 1-7-2009 TO 30-06-2014and ₹36,140 to ₹68700 [ 1-7-2014 TO 30-06-2019and ₹68,700 to ₹95600 [ 1-7-2019 to
**Provided also that where a Government servant is immediately before his promotion or appointment to a higher post, drawing pay at the maximum of the time-scale of the lower post, his initial pay in the time-scale of the higher post shall be fixed at the stage next above the pay notionally arrived at by increasing his pay in respect of the lower post by an amount equal to the last increment in the time-scale of the lower post.
Effective from the date of order.
Provided that if he has either previously held substantively or officiated in (i) the same post or (ii) a permanent or temporary post on the same time-scale or (iii) a permanent post on an identical time-scale or a temporary post on an identical time-scale, such post being on the same time-scale as a permanent post, then the initial pay shall not be less than the pay which he drew, on the last such occasion and he shall count for increment the period during which he drew that pay on such last or any previous occasions.
Ruling No.1
In cases where the application of the rule would give rise to anomalies in as much as an officer officiating in a higher post could get his pay refixed at a stage higher than the pay drawn by another who stands confirmed in the higher post on the same scale of pay, the anomaly will be removed by refixing the pay of the senior officer at the stage equal to that fixed for the junior officer in the higher post, the orders of refixation being issued by the competent authority under Rule 34, Part I, Kerala Service Rules. The refixation of pay in such cases will be made subject to the following conditions:
(a) Both the junior and senior officers should belong to the same cadre and the post in which they have been promoted or confirmed, as the case may be, should be identical and in the
same cadre.
(b) The scale of pay of the lower post in which they would have drawn their pay but for their promotion or confirmation should be identical.
(c) The anomaly should be directly as a result of the application of Rule28A. For example, if the junior officer draws from time to time a higher rate of pay than the senior by virtue of fixation of pay under the normal rules or any advance increment granted to him, the provision contained in this ruling should not be involved to step up the pay of the senior officer.
(d) The refixation of pay of the senior officer should be done with effect from the date of refixation of pay of the junior officer. The next increment of the senior officer will however be drawn on the date on which it would have fallen due but for this refixation of pay.
Ruling No.2
*In the case of a Government servant, officiating in a post and whose pay had been refixed under this rule, if he is confirmed in that post with effect from a retrospective date, the refixation of pay done after the date of confirmation will have to be revised. The over payments consequent on such revision will first be set off against the arrears, if any, that might become payable to the Government servant for a portion of the period from the date of confirmation to the date of issue of orders of confirmation. The balance of overpayments that cannot be set off against the arrears, if any, shall be waived.
.
Ruling No. 3
*The refixation of pay in the higher officiating post on the date of change of pay in the lower time-scale contemplated in this rule cannot be allowed during the period of bar on increment with or without cumulative effect. But, in the cases of bar on increment without cumulative effect there is no objection to give the refixation on a notional basis and to give the monetary benefit after the expiry of the period of bar. Increments accruing in the lower substantive/officiating post from time to time cannot also be allowed during the period of bar.
Ruling No. 4
Increments barred with or without cumulative effect in the lower substantive officiating post shall not be reckoned for fixation/refixation of pay in the higher time-scale. But in the case of bar on increment without cumulative effect, there is no objection to grant the barred increments notionally for fixation/refixation of pay and to give the monetary benefit after the expiry of the period of bar.
🆀 Which of the following periods will not count for increment?
A:-Leave granted on the strength of a medical certificate
B:-Period of suspension treated as duty
C:-Period during which increment is barred without cumulative effect
D:-Overstayal of joining time regularised as leave without allowances
Correct Answer:- Option-D:-Overstayal of joining time regularised as leave without allowances
B:-Period of suspension treated as duty
C:-Period during which increment is barred without cumulative effect
D:-Overstayal of joining time regularised as leave without allowances
Correct Answer:- Option-D:-Overstayal of joining time regularised as leave without allowances
Ruling No. 5
# A revision of pay as contemplated in Ruling No.2 shall not be necessary in the case of retrospective confirmation ordered after the date of retirement of an officer.
Government Decision No. 1
1. The provisions of this rule will not apply to cases of revision of scales of pay referred to in Rule 30 ibid.2. An officer officiating in a post, when appointed to a higher post on the advice of the Public Service Commission or otherwise is eligible for his initial pay being fixed under this rule and is also entitled to the benefit of a refixation contemplated in the last sentence of the rule.
3. When a person who holds a post in a regular capacity is appointed to a post on a higher time-scale in the same service under Rule 31 or in a different service under Rule 9 of Kerala State and Subordinate Services Rules, fixation of pay under this rule is permissible with reference to the pay drawn in the regular appointment4. When a fresher is appointed provisionally to a post otherwise than on the advice of the Public Service Commission, under Rule 9 of Kerala State and Subordinate Service Rules and again appointed to a still higher post under the same rule, a fixation of pay in the higher post with reference to the pay drawn in the lower post is not admissible.5. A person holding a post in a regular capacity is appointed provisionally to a post in the same service under Rule 31 of the Kerala State and Subordinate Service Rules. He is again appointed to a still higher post in the same service under Rule 31 or to a post in another service under Rule 9 of Kerala State and Subordinate Services Rules. Fixation of pay with reference to the provisional pay drawn in the post to which he was appointed provisionally at first is not admissible in the other posts.†[The decisions 1,3,4 and 5 above will be deemed to have taken effect from 3rd February 1962, the date on which the rule came into force]6. **The pay drawn by an officer in an ex-cadre post can be counted for purpose of initial fixation of pay on promotion in the parent department.But the benefit of refixation of pay contemplated in the rule is not admissible to him as he loses connection with the ex-cadre post on appointment to the parent department.7. # The benefit of pay drawn in an ex-cadre post for purpose of initial fixation will not be admissible, if an officer is reverted to the parent department, to a post carrying a scale of pay lower than that of the ex-cadre post.
A clerk having 5 years service in the Revenue Department is appointed as Secretary Assistant in the Finance Secretary, on the advice of Kerala Public Service Commission, comment on his pay fixation as Assistant :
A:-His pay will be fixed as per GD No. 1 under Rule 28A Part I KSR
B:-His pay will be fixed as per Rule 25 Part I KSR
C:-His pay will be fixed as per Rule 30 Part I KSR
D:-His pay will be fixed as per GD No., 1 under 28A Part I KSR without the benefit of refixation
Correct Answer:- Option-A
Government Decision No. 2
The benefit of re fixation of pay contemplated in the last sentence in the first para of the rule is admissible even in cases where the change of pay is due to fixation of pay on account of revision of scale of pay. If both the lower and the higher time-scales are revised, the benefit will be restricted to the cases of options exercised in respect of both the posts simultaneously
.
Government Decision No. 3
Notional increment at the biennial increment shall be reckoned in the lower scale for fixation of pay in the higher scale under Rule 28A.
Government Decision No. 4
The benefit of reckoning notional increment beyond the maximum of the scale of pay of the lower post will also be admissible in cases where an employee reaches the maximum of the post in the lower time-scale of pay before he gets an increment in the scale of pay of the higher post and in such cases, he will be eligible for a re fixation consequent on the change ofpay in the lower time-scale.

29. The initial substantive pay of an officer who is appointed substantively to a post on a time-scale of pay which has been reduced for reasons other than a diminution in the duties or responsibilities attached to posts thereon and who is not entitled to draw pay on the time-scale as it stood prior to reduction, is regulated by Rule 28.
🆀The initial substantive pay of an officer who is appointed substantively to a post on a time-scale of pay which has been reduced for reasons other than a diminution in the duties or responsibilities attached to posts thereon and who is not entitled to draw pay on the time-scale as it stood prior to reduction is regulated by Rule 28. The Rule referred is
A:-Rule 37 (a) Part I KSR
B:-Rule 28 Part I KSR
C:-Rule 29 Part I KSR
D:-Rule 28(A) Part I KSR
Correct Answer:- Option-C:-Rule 29 Part I KSR
30. The holder of a post, the pay of which is changed, shall be treated as if he were transferred to a new post on the new pay; provided that he may at his option retain his old pay until the date on which he has earned his next or any subsequent increment in the old scale, or until he vacates his post or ceases to draw pay in that time-scale. The option once exercised is final.
Note 1.-
This rule applies to an officiating holder of a post as well. But any break in the officiating period such as that due to transfer to another post, or non-employment would operate as vacating of the post and the pay during a subsequent officiating period in the same post will be fixed only as if the officer was then appointed to the new scale of pay.
‘The holder of a post’ occurring in this rule applies also to a person who is not actually holding the post, the pay of which is changed, provided he has a lien or a suspended lien on that post.
The words ‘his old pay’ in the proviso of the rule should be held to include not only the rate at which the individual was drawing his officiating pay on the crucial date but also the time-scale of pay in which he was drawing that pay. Thus for the period of option the old scale of pay in which he was drawing his officiating pay should be treated as continuing for the individual concerned.
Note 2.-
Option under the proviso of the rule to officers under suspension is governed by the following :-
1. Cases in which the revised scale of pay takes effect from a date prior to the date of suspension.
In such cases the officer should be allowed to exercise the option under Rule 30 even if the period, during which he is to exercise the option, falls within the period of suspension. He will be entitled to the benefit of increase in pay if any, in respect of the duty period before suspension, and also in the subsistence allowance, for the period of suspension, as a result of such option.
2. Cases in which the revised scale of pay takes effect from a date falling within the period of suspension -
(a) Under suspension an officer retains a lien on his substantive post.
As the expression ‘holder of a post’ occurring in Rule 30 includes also a person who holds a lien or a suspended lien on the post even though he may not be actually holding the post, such an officer should be allowed option under Rule 30 even while under suspension. The benefit of option will however, practically accrue to him in respect of the period of suspension, only after his reinstatement, depending on the fact whether the period of suspension is treated as duty or not.
(b) An officer, who does not retain a lien on a post the pay of which is changed, is not entitled to exercise the option under Rule 30. If, however, he is reinstated in the post and the period of suspension is treated as duty, he may be allowed to exercise the option after such reinstatement. In such cases, if there is a time-limit prescribed for exercising the option and such period had already expired during the period of suspension, a relaxation may be made in each individual case for extending the period during which the option may be exercised.
Government Decision
The following principles will be followed for fixation of pay when the scale of pay of a post held on a provisional basis is revised :-
(i) If the pay drawn in the previous scale is less than the minimum of the revised scale then the pay in the revised scale may be fixed at the minimum.(ii) If the pay drawn in the previous scale is a stage in the revised scale the pay in the revised scale may be fixed at that stage.(iii) If the pay drawn in the previous scale is not a stage, then the pay in the revised scale may be fixed at the next lower stage, the difference being treated as personal pay to be absorbed in future increase in pay.
2. The above principles will also be adopted for regulating the pay of an officer holding a post on a provisional basis when appointed to a higher or a lower post provisionally, except in cases of reversion.

32. Where an efficiency bar is prescribed in a time-scale, the increment next above the bar shall not be given to an officer without the specific sanction of the authority empowered to withhold increments.
Note 1.-
On each occasion on which an officer is allowed to pass an efficiency bar which had previously been enforced against him, he should come over to the time-scale at such stage as the authority competent to declare the bar removed, may fix for him, subject to the pay admissible according to his length of service.
Note 2.-
The cases of all officers held up at an efficiency bar should be reviewed annually with a view to determine whether the quality of their work has improved and generally, whether the defects for which they were stopped at the bar have been remedied, to an extent sufficient to warrant the removal of the bar.
33. The following provisions prescribe the conditions on which service counts for increments in a time-scale :-
➧(a) All duty in a post on a time-scale counts for increments in that time-scale.

🆀LWA(without MC) not exceeding ......................in continuation of maternity leave will count for increment.
Answer: 60 days ( Rule.33(b)(2) 3rd Proviso
Note.-
In cases coming under sub-clause (2) the appointing authority should certify that the officer would have actually continued to officiate in the post but for his proceeding on leave and the period of leave will count for increments only to the extent it is covered by the certificate. Where no officiating arrangement is made in a leave vacancy and where the incumbent is likely to return to the same post after the expiry of the leave the authority sanctioning the leave may issue such a certificate at the time of grant of leave. In all cases
where the certificates are issued the fact should be recorded in the Service Book as and when such certificates are issued along with the leave particulars.
➧(c) If an officer, while officiating in a post or holding a temporary post on a timescale of pay, is appointed to officiate in a higher post or to hold a higher temporary post, his officiating or temporary service in the higher post shall, if he is re-appointed to the lower post or is appointed or re-appointed to a post on the same time-scale of pay, count for increments in the time-scale applicable to such lower post.
If an officer on reversion from an ex-cadre post to the parent cadre is appointed to a post on a scale lower than that of the ex-cadre post but not on the same time-scale as the post held at the time of his transfer to the ex-cadre post, the service rendered on the higher scale in the excadre post shall count for increments in the time-scale applicable to the cadre post subject to the same conditions as are laid down for cases falling under item (ii) of proviso to Rule 28.
In cases where the appointment is to officiate in a higher post or to hold a higher temporary post, in the regular line, the officiating and temporary service in the higher post shall count for increments in time-scale applicable to the lower post, even if the officer is not reappointed to the lower post or is not appointed or re-appointed to a post on the same time-scale of pay.
The period of officiating/temporary service in the higher post which counts for increment in the lower is, however, restricted to the period during which the officer would have officiated in the lower post but for his appointment to the higher post. This clause applies also to an officer who is not actually officiating in the lower post, but who would have so officiated in such lowerpost or in a post on the same time-scale of pay had he not been appointed to the higher post.
Note.- *
For the purpose of this rule, the officiating and temporary service in the higher posts will include the period of leave which counts for increments under clause (b).
(d) If an officer’s substantive tenure of a temporary post is interrupted by duty in another post other than a post carrying less pay referred to in clause (a) of Rule 21 or by leave other than leave without allowances or by foreign service, such duty or leave or foreign service counts for increments in the time-scale applicable to the temporary post if the officer returns to the
temporary post:
Provided that the Government may in any case in which they are satisfied that the leave was taken on account of illness or for any other cause beyond the officer’s control, direct that leave without allowances shall be counted for increments under this clause.

(e) Foreign service counts for increments in the time-scale applicable to—
(i) the post in Government service on which the officer concerned holds a lien as well as the post or posts, if any, on which he would hold a lien had his lien not been suspended, and(ii) any post in which he would have officiated or to which he may receive officiating promotion under Rule 143 below for the duration of such promotion.(iii) any post in the parent cadre on a lower scale of pay to which the officer is appointed on reversion from the ex-cadre post subject to the fulfilment of the conditions mentioned in item (iii) of proviso to Rule 28.
Note 1.Joining time counts for increments :-
(i) If it is under clause (a) of Rule 125, in the time-scale applicable to the post on which the officer holds a lien or would hold a lien had his lien not been suspended as well as in the time-scale applicable to the post, the pay of which is received by the officer during the period, and(ii) If it is under clause (b) of Rule 125, in the time-scale applicable to the post/posts on which the last day of leave before commencement of the joining time counts for increments.
Explanation.-
For the purposes of this rule, the period treated as duty under sub-clause (ii) of clause (7) of Rule 12 shall be deemed to be duty in a post if the officer draws pay of that post during such period.
Note 2.-
In the case of an officer who, while officiating in a post proceeds on training or to attend a course of instruction and who is treated as on duty, while under training, the period of such duty will count for increment in the post in which he was officiating prior to his being sent for training or instruction if he is allowed the pay of the officiating post during such period.

34. The Government may grant a premature increment to an officer on a timescale of pay.
Note.- In the case of increments granted in advance, it is usually the intention that the officer should be entitled to increments in the same manner as if he had reached his position in the scale in the ordinary course and in the absence of special orders to the contrary he should be placed on exactly the same footing, as regards future increments as an officer who has so risen.

Government Decision No. 1
In Rule 34 of Kerala Service Rules, Part I, it is laid down that Government may grant a premature increment to an officer on a time-scale of pay without prejudice to his normal increment. At present there is no ruling or Government decision as to the circumstances under which the rule regarding the grant of advance increments could be invoked in individual cases.
2. Good service entries and incentive awards are possible variants to advance increments for the recognition of meritorious service rendered by Government servants. In G.O.(Ms.) 849/59/PD, dated 24th September 1959, it has been provided that incentive awards could be made for outstanding performance of officers in the discharge of their duties and responsibilities. Under this system, cases of extraordinary originality, imagination or brilliance, or rare devotion to duty deserving recognition in a special way and suggestions for reduction of expenditure without affecting efficiency can all be considered for incentive awards. Government, therefore, consider that the system of awarding good service entries and incentive awards are eminently suited for recognising specific or individual cases of meritorious service/work on the part of Government servants; the grant of advance increment
being restricted to cases of sustained merit and continuous record of good work. In other words, good service entries, incentive awards and advance increments will be in an ascending order in the matter of recognition of meritorious services of Government servants.
3. *Government also wish to emphasise that there should be more or less uniform standards in recognising merit for the award of advance increments. The confidential report of the officer to whom advance increment is proposed to be given should, therefore, be looked into. All proposals for the grant of advance increments in recognition of the meritorious work of Government servants shall be scrutinised by the concerned Administrative Department, the Public Department and Finance Department before placing the cases for sanction before the Council of Ministers. This amendment shall be deemed to have come into force with effect from 22nd February 1974.

35. The authority which orders the transfer of an officer as a penalty from a higher to a lower grade or post may allow him, to draw any pay, not exceeding the maximum of the lower grade or post which it may think proper :
! Provided that the pay allowed under this rule shall not exceed the pay which he would have drawn under Rule 28 read with clause (b) or clause (c) as the case may be, of Rule 33.
36. If an officer is, on account of misconduct or inefficiency, reduced to a lower grade or post or to a lower stage in his time-scale, the authority ordering such reduction shall state the period for which it shall be effective and whether on restoration,
it shall operate to postpone future increments, and, if so, to what extent.
Ruling
1. Every order passed by a competent authority imposing on a Government servant the penalty of reduction to a lower stage in a time-scale should indicate :-
(i) The date from which it will take effect and the period (in terms of years and months) for which the penalty shall be operative.(ii) The stage in the time-scale (in terms of rupees) to which the Government servant is reduced in the following form :“The ……………………………………. has decided that Sri…………………should be reduced to a pay of `……………………………… for a period of …………………..with effect from…… …… ……..” and(iii) The extent (in terms of years and months), if any, to which the period referred to at (i) above should operate to postpone future increments.It should be noted that reduction to a lower stage in a time-scale is not permissible under the rules either for an unspecified period or as a permanent measure. Also when a Government servant is reduced to a particular stage, his pay will remain constant at that stage for the entire period of reduction.The period to be specified under (iii) should in no case exceed the period specified under (i).
2. The question as to what should be the pay of a Government servant on the expiry of the period of reduction should be decided as follows :-
(i) If the order of reduction lays down that the period of reduction shall not operate to postpone future increments, the Government servant should be allowed the pay which he would have drawn in the normal course but for the reduction. If, however, the pay drawn by him immediately before reduction was below the efficiency bar he should not be allowed to cross the bar except in accordance with the provision of Rule 32, Part I, Kerala ServiceRules.(ii) *If the orders specifies that the period of reduction was to operate to postpone future increments for any specified period, the pay of the Government servant shall be fixed in accordance with (i) above, but after treating the period for which the increments were to bepostponed as not counting for increments.
37(a) Subject to the provisions of Rule 33 (c) and Rule 39, an officer holding a permanent or officiating post, if appointed to officiate on a higher time-scale of pay, will draw as initial pay the stage next above his pay in the lower timescale irrespective of whether the pay in the lower time-scale is a stage in the higher time-scale or not.
A refixation will be allowed whenever there is change of pay in the lower time-scale, i.e., when his pay therein becomes equal to or greater than the pay which he draws in the higher time-scale.
37(b) In the case of officiating appointments from a higher time scale of pay to a lower time scale of pay, by direct recruitment, the officer’s officiating pay in the lower time scale shall be fixed at the minimum of the scale of pay of the new post without considering his pay in the higher time scale except in the cases where such appointments are made in accordance with the Special Rules applicable to such appointment and in the case of such appointments, the Officer’s officiating pay in the new time scale shall be fixed at his officiating pay in the previous appointment, if it is a stage in the new time scale or at the next lower stage, if it is not a stage in the new time scale, the difference being treated as personal pay to be absorbed in future increases. But nothing in this sub rule shall apply to cases of reversions.

equivalent to that pay. The service rendered in a post referred to in item (iii) shall, on reversion to the parent cadre, count towards initial fixation of pay to the extent and subject to the conditions indicated below
(a) the officer should have been approved for appointment to the particular grade/post in which the previous service is to be counted;(b) all his seniors, except those regarded as unfit for such appointment, were serving in posts carrying the scale of pay in which the benefit is to be allowed or in higher posts, whether in the department itself or elsewhere, and atleast one junior was holding a post in the department carrying the scale of pay in which the benefit is to be allowed; and (c) the service will count from the date his junior is promoted and the benefit will be limited to the period the officer would have held the post in his parent cadre had he not been appointed to the ex-cadre post.

Ruling No. 1
When a person in a post (whether within the cadre of his service or not) is for any reason prevented from officiating in his turn in a post on a higher scale or grade borne on the cadre of the service to which he belongs, he may be authorised by special order of the appropriate authority proforma officiating promotion into such scale or grade and thereupon be granted the pay of that scale or grade if that be more advantageous to him on such occasion on which the person immediately junior to him in the cadre of his service (or if that person had been passed over for reasons of inefficiency or unsuitability or because he is on leave or serving outside the ordinary line or forgoes officiating promotion of his own volition to that scale or grade, then the person next junior to him not so passed over) draws officiating salary in that scale or grade. But in case, where the person immediately junior to him happens to assume charge of the post on a later date than that of another junior, the senior who is outside the ordinary line shall be eligible for the benefit of proforma officiating promotion with effect from such date as the other junior assumes charge of the post:
Provided that all persons senior to the persons to whom the benefit under the substantive part of this rule is to be allowed are also drawing, unless they have been passed over for one or other of the reasons aforesaid, officiating salary in the said or some higher scale within the cadre :
Provided further that not more than one person (either the senior most fit person in a series of adjacent persons outside the ordinary line, or if such a person either forgoes the benefit on his own volition or dues not require benefits by virtue of his holding a post outside the ordinary line which secures him at least equivalent benefits in respect of salary and pension then the next below the series ) may be authorised to draw the salary of the higher scale or grade in respect of any one officiating vacancy within the cadre filled by his junior under this rule.

A fortuitous officiating promotion given to a person who is junior to one outside the regular line does not in itself give rise to a claim under the ‘Next Below Rule’.
Note 2.-
The provisions in item (iii) of the proviso to the above rule in respect of protection of pay and period of increment shall be applicable to Government Servants on their appointment directly or on transfer from a post carrying identical time-scale of pay without fulfilment of the conditions indicated thereunder subject to the condition that this benefit will not be admissible to an individual who enters Government service for the first time from a post in a body incorporated or not which is wholly or substantially owned or controlled by Government.
Ruling No. 2
2. Seniority for the purpose of Next Below Rule.- If Government have approved in any Department a list of officers in the order of merit for promotion to administrative rank or a selection grade, then that order will prevail as the order of seniority for the purpose of the Next Below Rule, over the order of seniority of the officers in the ordinary gradation list of their cadre.
🆀 Seniority for the purpose of next below rule is explained in
A:-Ruling No. 2(2) of Rule 37 Part I KSR

C:-Ruling No. 1(1) of Rule 36 Part I KSR
D:-Ruling 2(1) of Rule 36 Part I KSR
3. Promotions effected prior to the date of the Next Below Rule.- In G.O.(P) 393/63/Fin., dated 2nd July 1963 it has been ordered that the Next Below Rule would not apply to cases of promotions already effected. It has been laid down in the second proviso to the rule that not more than one person may be authorised to draw the salary of the higher scale or grade in respect of any one officiating vacancy within the cadre filled by his junior. A doubt may arise as to the application of this proviso in respect of promotions effected before the date of the rule. This is made clear by the following illustration. Suppose eight persons had been given the benefit of promotion before 2nd July 1963 outside the ordinary line against only 3 promotions within the ordinary line. In this case, the question of giving further promotion to the
persons outside the ordinarily line will arise only after five more persons are given promotion within the ordinary line so that all the eight persons outside are sustained. But those 5 persons who were given promotion outside the ordinary line before 2nd July 1963 will continue to get the benefit even after 2nd July 1963 notwithstanding the second proviso to the ruling.

*The refixation of pay in the higher officiating post on the date of change of pay in the lower time-scale contemplated in this rule cannot be allowed during the period of bar on increment with or without cumulative effect. But, in the cases of bar on increment without cumulative effect, there is no objection to give the refixation on a notional basis and to give the monetary benefit after the expiry of the period of bar. Increments accruing in the lower substantive/officiating post from time to time cannot also be allowed during the period of bar.
Ruling No. 5
**Increments barred with or without cumulative effect in the lower substantive/officiating post shall not be reckoned for fixation/refixation of pay in the higher time-scale.

Government Decision No. 5
The following principles will be followed for fixation of pay when the scale of pay of a post held on a provisional basis is revised :
(ii) If the pay drawn in the previous scale is a stage in the revised scale, the pay in the revised scale may be fixed at that stage.
(iii) If the pay drawn in the previous scale is not a stage, then the pay in the revised scale may be fixed at the next lower stage, the difference being treated as personal pay to be absorbed in future increase in pay.
2. The above principles will also be adopted for regulating the pay of an officer holding a post on a provisional basis when appointed to a higher or a lower post provisionally, except in cases of reversions.
3. *The pay of an officer holding a post on a provisional basis when appointed provisionally to another post on identical time-scale will be fixed in the new appointment at a stage equal to the pay he was drawing in the previous appointment but the period during which he drew pay at that rate in the previous appointment will not count for increment.. **Past cases settled otherwise, will not be reopened.
🆀An officer holding a post on a provisional basis on 15.4.2015 is appointed provisionally to another post on identical time scale on 13.7.2015 and pay is fixed at a stage equal to the pay he was drawing in the previous post. He will draw his next increment on:

Government Decision No. 6
# The pay drawn by an officer in an ex-cadre post can be counted for purpose of initial fixation of pay on promotion in the parent department. But the benefit of refixation of pay contemplated in the rule is not admissible to him as he loses connection with the ex-cadre post on appointment to the parent department.
*The benefit of pay drawn in an ex-cadre post for purpose of initial fixation will not be admissible, if an officer is reverted to the parent department, to a post carrying a scale of pay lower than that of the ex-cadre post.
Government Decision No. 7
The re-fixation of pay contemplated in the last sentence of sub-rule (a) is admissible even in cases where the change of pay in the lower time-scale is due to fixation of pay on account of revision of the scale of pay. If both the lower and higher time-scales are revised, the benefit will be restricted to cases of options exercised in respect of both the posts simultaneously.
Government Decision No. 8
† The principles enunciated in paragraph (1) of the Government Decision No. 5 above will be adopted for regulating the pay of an officer holding a post on a provisional basis when appointed to a higher or a lower post on a regular basis also, except in cases of reversions Effective from 5th July 1966.
Government Decision No. 9
(i) The pay of an officer holding a post on a provisional basis and appointed on regular basis to another post on identical time-scale will be fixed at a stage equal to the pay he was drawing in the provisional appointment. The period during which the officer has drawn pay at that rate on the provisional appointment will not count for increment.
(ii) The pay drawn by an officer in a post held by him on a provisional basis on initial appointment to Government service through the employment exchange or otherwise will not be reckoned for regulating his pay on appointment to another post carrying lower time-scale on a regular basis. Cases of persons appointed to a post on a provisional basis while holding regular posts and subsequently appointed to another post carrying a lower time-scale on a regular basis except cases of reversions, and cases of provisional hands appointed to higher posts on a regular basis will continue to be regulated by the Government Decision No. 8.
*Government Decision No. 8 will stand modified to the above extent. This decision will take effect from 5th July 1966. Cases already settled otherwise will not be reopened to the disadvantage of the persons concerned.
Government Decision No. 10
**The pay of a provisional appointee/promotee when re-appointed/repromoted provisionally to the same post shall be fixed at the same stage at which he was drawing pay on the last such occasion and the period during which he drew pay at that stage on such last and any previous
occasions will count for increment.

Government Decision
The following provisions shall govern the pay and increments of a Government servant whose promotion or appointment in a substantive or officiating capacity to a post is later found to be erroneous on the basis of facts :-
1. The orders of promotion or appointment of a Government servant should be cancelled as soon as it is brought to the notice of the appointing authority that such a promotion or appointment has resulted from a factual error and the Government servant concerned should, immediately on such cancellation, be brought to the position which he would have held but for
the incorrect order of promotion or appointment.
2. Service rendered by the Government servant concerned in the post he was wrongly promoted/appointed as a result of the error should not be reckoned for the purpose of increments or for any other purpose in that grade/post to which he would not normally be entitled but for the erroneous promotion/ appointment.
3. Any consequential promotions/appointments of other Government servants made on the basis of the incorrect promotion/appointment of a particular Government servant will also be regarded as erroneous and such cases also will be regulated on the lines indicated in the preceding paragraph.
4. Except when the appointing authority is the Government, the question whether the promotion/appointment of a particular Government servant to a post was erroneous or not should be decided by an authority next higher than the appointing authority in accordance with the established principles governing promotions/appointments. In cases of doubt Government may be consulted.
5. Cases of erroneous promotion/appointment should be viewed with serious concern and suitable disciplinary action taken against the officers and staff responsible for such erroneous promotion/ appointment under the Kerala Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1960.
6. In the case of a Government servant who has been erroneously promoted/appointed to a post in a substantive capacity, the following procedure may be followed for deconfirming the
Government servant in that post and only thereafter, the Government servant concerned should be brought down to the position which he would have held but for the erroneous promotion/appointment.
(a) An order of confirmation which is clearly contrary to the relevant statutory rules may be cancelled by the competent authority straight away. Here the order of confirmation was ab initio void as it was ultra vires of the relevant rules and cancellation of the order would be justified on the ground that there was no valid subsisting order at all and the act of cancellation is a mere formality. The effect of cancellation would be to put the employee concerned in a position of never having been confirmed.
(b) An order of confirmation which is contrary to executive orders or administrative instructions may be cancelled by the competent authority, if such erroneous order of confirmation has operated to the prejudice of some identifiable person who would otherwise have been confirmed, if the orders had been correctly applied.
Here the order of cancellation would be just and equitable as the confirmation of the employee concerned operates unfairly to the detriment of another employee who would have otherwise been confirmed. Such cancellation will not have the effect of doing any injustice to the employee whose confirmation is cancelled, since he was under the executive orders or administrative instructions in force,not entitled to confirmation.
It would, however, be in consonance with the principles of natural justice that a notice to show cause why the orders of confirmation should not be cancelled be given to the affected party in both the types of cases specified above.
7. *The orders re-fixing the pay in all the above cases should be issued expressly under Rule 37A, Part I, Kerala Service Rules.

C:-Rule 28 Part I K.S.R.
D:-Rule 37(b) Part I K.S.R
37. B ➧(a) Probationer in any service shall draw initial pay as follows :-
(i) while undergoing a course of instruction or training the pay, if any, specified in the ‘Special Rules’ in that behalf or by special orders of Government, and (ii) after completion of the course of instruction or training and when there is no course of instruction or training, the minimum of the time-scale of the probation post.
(b) (i) A probationer whose, period of probation is two years and whose increment is annual shall be entitled to draw the first increment in the time-scale of the probation post after putting in the service required to earn an increment.
(ii) In the case of a probationer whose period of probation is one year and whose increment is annual, the first increment in the scale of pay of the probation post shall be drawn only with effect from the date on which he is declared to have completed his probation. Delay in completing probation will not, however, affect his future increments and these will accrue on the normal incremental dates.
Note.-
*If any period of the service of a probationer does not count for probation, he shall complete the period of probation of one year or two year’s duty, as the case may be, by being on duty for an equal period from the date of expiry of one year or two years as the case may be after the commencement of the probation. In cases where the above period is expressed in terms of months and days, then such period shall be calculated as provided in Rule 12 (21) of Part I,Kerala Service Rules. In cases where the absence is expressed in days, the date of completion of probation shall be extended by the number of days of such absence.
Effective from 4th April 1983.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Rule 39 and notwithstanding the provisions of sub-rules (a) and (b) of this rule, an officer shall be entitled to draw in the probation post the pay for which he would be eligible from time to time under the provisions of Rule 28A, Rule 33 (c) or Rule 37, as the case may be.38. When an officer officiates in a post, the pay of which has been fixed at a rate personal to another officer the Government may permit him to draw pay at any rate not exceeding the rate so fixed or, if the rate so fixed be a time-scale, may grant him initial pay not exceeding that lowest stage of that time-scale and future increments not exceeding those of the sanctioned scale.39. The Government may in individual cases fix by special order the pay of an officiating officer at an amount less than that admissible under these rules.
40. The Government may issue general or special orders allowing acting promotions to be made in place of officers who are treated as on duty under Rule 12 (7) (iii).
Note.-
Acting arrangements may be allowed by competent authority if the period of training of an officer is one month or more. If it is less than a month, no arrangements can be made except under the special sanction of Government.
Government Decision
* In the case of deputation of a Government Servant for training or a course of instruction which is treated as duty under Rule 12 (7) (iii), Part I, Kerala Service Rules it is not necessary to create a new post in order to accommodate him during such training or course of instruction, since the very order sanctioning the deputation for training would be a sanction in
this behalf.
Effective from 2nd September 1964.
41. Personal Pay.- Except when otherwise ordered by Government personal pay shall be reduced by any amount by which the recipient’s pay may be increased and shall cease as soon as his pay is increased by an amount equal to his personal pay.
42. Pay of Temporary Posts.- When a temporary post is created which may have to be filled by a person not already in Government Service, the pay of the post shall be fixed with reference to the minimum that is necessary to secure the services of a person capable of discharging efficiently the duties of the post.
43. When a temporary post is created which will probably be filled by a person who is already in the service of Government its pay should be fixed with due regard to-
(a) the character and responsibility of the work to be performed, and (b) the existing pay of officers of a status sufficient to warrant their selection for the post.
Note.- Temporary posts by this criterion should be considered as temporary additions to the cadre of a service should be created in the time-scale of the service ordinarily without extra remuneration. Incumbents of these posts will therefore draw their ordinary time-scale of pay. If the posts involve decided increases in work and responsibility in comparison with the duties of the parent cadre generally it may be necessary to sanction a special pay in addition.
