Dated 07th Nov., 2012
To
The Chief Secretaries of all States/UTs,
Subject:- Grant of advance increments to IAS officers — reg.
Sir,
I am directed to say that after the issue of IAS (Pay) 2nd Amendment Rules,  2008 regarding implementation of the recommendations of the 6th CPC, the provisions contained in rule 7 for grant of advance increments to direct recruit IAS officers have been engaging attention of this Department. The amended provisions  of rule 7 are as follows:

7. Grant of Advance Increments : “Notwithstanding anything contained  in rule 13 of the IAS (Probation) Rules, 1954, the State Government shall  sanction the 2nd and 3r increments due to a direct recruit with effect from the  prescribed date of increment after he passes the prescribed departmental  examination or examinations irrespective of the length of service, after which  he shall be entitled to draw pay at the rate corresponding to this position in the pay band.
Provided that the 3rd increment under this rule shall be granted retrospectively  from the prescribed date of increment after passing the prescribed departmental examination , or the last of the prescribed departmental examinations, as the case may be, on the successful completion of the probation and confirmation.”
2. It is observed that under the above rule, second and third increments can be sanctioned together from the same date of increment i.e.1st July of the particular year after the passing of departmental examination or examinations by the direct recruit IAS officers. However, as per further provisions of 1st Proviso to rule 7, the third increment shall be sanctioned from the said date of increment retrospectively after completion of probation and confirmation.
3. Any earlier clarification with regard to grant of 2nd and 3rd increment, issued by this Department may be treated as modified to the extent of this clarification.
Yours faithfully
s/d
(Deepti Umashankar)
Director (Services)

50% Dearness Allowance (DA) & Dearness Relief (DR) expected from Jan, 2024

-
Labour Bureau has published All-India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) for September 2023 which recorded a sharp decrease by 1.7 points, resulting in an index value of 137.5 (one hundred thirty-seven point five). This crucial economic indicator is instrumental in calculating the Dearness Allowance (DA) & Dearness Relief (DR) for Central Government Employees and Pensioners, and the recent dip in the CPI-IW index has far-reaching implications for their financial well-being. The decline in the CPI-IW Index may initially raise concerns; however, it leads to a promising development for Central Government Employees and Pensioners. Despite the decrease in the index, the expected DA/DR from January 2024 is anticipated to increase by a substantial 4%. This increase will propel the DA/DR to reach an impressive 50% in the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC), greatly benefiting those who rely on these allowances and benefits to maintain their standard of living. While the decl

India’s 8th Pay Commission: A Potential Windfall for Central Government Employees

-
  Amidst the rising cost of living and inflation, central government employees await a potential financial relief as the   8th Pay Commission   takes center stage in national discourse. This proposed commission, speculated to be implemented by 2026, could see a significant increase in salaries and benefits for central government employees. A Proposed Leap in Salaries According to sources, the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission could hike the salaries of central government employees by  44 percent  from next year. At present, the minimum salary for these employees fluctuates between Rs 18,000 to Rs 56,900 per month. With the new pay commission in place, their monthly compensation might see an increase to at least Rs 25,000. The Crucial Fitment Factor The debate over the  fitment factor  for the 8th Pay Commission also gains momentum. This factor determines the multiplication used to calculate the new minimum wage. If the government retains the current fitment factor at 2.57 times,

The Labour Bureau has published the All-India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) for the month of September 2023. The All-India CPI-IW declined by 1.7 points in September 2023, from 139.2 in August 2023. Based on the indices till August 2023, the expected DA for central government employees from January 2024 was expected to cross 50%. However, even with the CPI-IW declining by 1.7 points in October 2023, still the DA can be 50% from January 2024. However, the chances of it becoming 51% is less. For the calculation of the DA, CPI-IW indices for 12 months, i.e. January 2023 to December 2024 are required. The indices for three more months are required to calculate the exact DA. Based on the indices till September 2023, the expected DA for central government employees from January 2024 is almost certain to cross 50%. This is an increase of 4 percentage points from the current DA of 46%. However, the DA touching the 50% milestone will have additional benefits as a hike in
