All Secretaries to Government including Tamil Nadu Assembly Secretariat, Madras-9.
All Heads of Departments/All Departments of Secretariat.
The Secretary, Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, Madras-2.

Sir,

                         Sub : Fundamental Rules – Regulation of pay and service in
                                 the substantive/officiating post while on transfer of service
                                 in the post outside the regular line.

                                                                        ……

 Of late, the departments of Secretariat are relaxing the provisions of sub-rule 26 of Fundamental Rules, so as to regulate the period spent on other duty in officiating/substantive post to which the Government servants are appointed on transfer from one service to another service. The Government servants on reversion to parent department request to regulate increments and to allow them to move to Selection Grade by counting the period spent on Other Duty.  According to Fundamental Rule 26©, the period spent on other duty in higher post by transfer of service are taken into account for regulation of notional increment as well as for movement to Selection Grade/Special Grade.  So, the service rendered by a Government servant in a post carrying lesser scale of pay than the officiating post held by him shall not be taken into account for regulation of pay in the officiating post.  The appointment to another post particularly in lower post is made only on the request of the Government servants.  In the circumstances, I am directed to inform that the requests from the Government servants for relaxation of relevant provisions of Fundamental Rule 26 in their favour to regulate increments by counting services rendered in a lesser scale of pay cannot be considered and their pay should be regulated as per Fundamental Rule 22.

                                                                                                Yours faithfully,
                                                                                                 Sd/xxxx
                                                (G.SANKARANARAYANAN)
                                                                        for SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT.
