ORDER:

In the Government Order 1^st read above, orders were issued introducing Automatic Advancement Scheme from 1-4-1981. In the Government Order 2^nd read above, orders were issued extending the scheme to the teachers working in the schools of Government, Municipalities, Municipal Corporations, Zilla Parishads and Panchayat Samithis and also Aided Managements. Consequent on regrouping the pay scales of Teachers vide G.O.Ms.No.1000, (S) Education Department, dated 17-12-1982 and constituting a separate category of Headmasters vide G.O.Ms.No.883, Education Department, dated 5-11-1982, orders were issued modifying the Automatic Advancement Scheme pertaining to Teachers with effect from 1^st December, 1982, vide Government Order 3^rd read above. In the Government Order 4^th read above, orders governing the Automatic Advancement Scheme as recommended by the Pay Revision Commissioner, 1986 were issued. In the Government Order 5^th read above, orders were issued extending the orders issued in the 4^th read above the teachers working in Schools under all managements viz., Government, Municipalities, Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, Vijayawads and Visakhapatnam, Zilla Praja Parishads, Mandal Praja Parishads and also Private Aided Schools. In the Government Orders 7^th to 10^th read above orders were issued modifying the Scheme as recommended by the Pay Revision Commission 1993, including the Teachers, Junior Lectures and Physical Directors in Junior Colleges. In the Government Order 12^th read above, orders were issued modifying the scheme as recommended by the Pay Revision Commission, 1999.

2. In the Government Order 13^th read above, Government have constituted Pay Revision Commission. The recommendations of the Pay Revision Commissioner, 2005 on Automatic Advancement Scheme are as follows:

(a) The Scheme will be applicable up to and inclusive of scale of Rs.10845-22955.

(b) The Commission examined various alternative periodicities suggested for the application of Automatic Advancement Scheme. The present pattern is time tested and is working well. Apart from that, it is felt that by increasing the span of each scale and also by reducing the period for earning the next higher increment, the employees have been given enough opportunity to earn higher emoluments in the normal course without facing any stagnation. The current periodicity of eligibility for getting special grade after eight (8) years, Special Promotion post scale/ Special Ad-hoc Promotion Post Scale after 16 years may be continued. The Commission recommends that in place of an increment at the end of 24 years, the scale of 2^nd level promotion post, i.e. Special Promotion Post Scale-II/ 2^nd level ad-hoc promotion post, i.e. Special ad-hoc Promotion Post Scale-II may be given for those who do not have any promotional posts on the earlier conditions only. The purpose of the Scheme is to ensure that employees with limited promotional opportunities, for reasons beyond their control, are assured of at-least increase in emoluments as a compensation for lack of promotions at least 3 (three) times in the total service.

(d) Most of the Associations have asked for the giving benefit of FR 22-B. The Commission sees merit in the request and recommends that the benefit of FR 22-B may be given to those who have been promoted to the regular post after enjoying the benefit under Automatic Advancement Scheme i.e. Special Grade/ Special Promotion Post Scale-I.

3. Accordingly Government hereby order that :-

(a) (i) The existing system of awarding Automatic Advancement Grades for every Eight (8) / Sixteen (16) years shall be continued. The existing Special Promotion Post Scale / Special Adhoc Promotion Post scale shall be called as Special Promotion Post Scale - I/ Special Adhoc Promotion Post Scale-I.

Special Grade Scale (ii) On completion of eight years of service which counts for increments,

an employee is eligible to be placed in the Special Grade Scale, in Revised Pay Scales 2005, notified in the order 14^th read above, as indicated in Annexure-I appended to this order.

Special Promotion (iii) On completion of 16 years of service which counts for increments, an

Post Scale-I employee shall be eligible to be placed in the scale of the post next above the post held by him which happens to be the promotion post under the relevant service rules, provided he is fully qualified to be promoted to such promotion post and provided also that such a post should belong to the regular line and not outside the regular line. This scale shall be called the Special Promotion Post Scale-I.

Special Adhoc (iv) In case an employee is holding a post for which there is no promotion

Promotion Post post under the relevant service rules, he shall be eligible to be placed,

Scale-I on completion of 16 years of service in the scale of pay next above the Special Grade Post, which he holds. This scale shall be called the "Special Adhoc Promotion Post Scale-I".

(b) The existing orders governing sanction of one increment in the existing scales i.e., Special Promotion Post Scale / Special Ad hoc promotion post scales as the case may be after completion of 24 years of incremental years of service are withdrawn and replaced by the following:

Special Promotion (i) On completion of 24 years service which counts for increments, an

Post Scale-II employee shall be eligible to be placed in the scale applicable to the next promotion scale over the First Special Promotion Post which happens to be the next promotion post to the first level promotion post to the original post held by him under the relevant rules. This is subject to the condition that he is fully qualified to be promoted to such promotion post, and also that such post should belong to the regular line and not outside the regular line. This scale shall be called “Special Promotion Post Scale – II”. Such of the employees only who have put in 24 years of service in one post without getting any promotion shall be considered for appointment to the Special Promotion Post Scale-II and in case the employee holds First Promotion post regularly, prior to the completion of 24 years, such employee shall not be entitled to Special Promotion Scale – II.

Special Adhoc (ii) In case an employee holding a post for which there is no promotion post

Promotion Post under the relevant service rules, he shall be eligible to be placed on

Scale-II completion of 24 years, in the scale of pay, next above the scale applicable to Special Ad hoc Promotion Post Scale-I. This scale shall be called “ Special Adhoc Promotion Post Scale – II

4. (i) These Orders shall be applicable to all those who are drawing pay in Grade–I to XXI i.e., upto and inclusive of Revised Scale of Rs.10845-22955 as indicated in Schedule-I of the Government Order 14^th read above.

(ii) Wherever orders are required to be issued in respect of employees other than Government employees, the Administrative Departments of Secretariat concerned with those employees shall issue necessary orders in this regard in consultation with Finance (PC) Department.

(iii) Fixation of pay on appointment to Special Grade, Special Promotion Post scale – I/Special Adhoc Promotion Post scale - I and Special Promotion Post scale – II/ Special Adhoc Promotion Post scale - II shall be under F.R. 22(a)(i) read with F.R. 31 (2).

(iv) Fixation of pay of an employee who is holding Special Grade / Special Promotion Post Scale – I when he is promoted regularly, shall be under F.R. 22-B.

He shall continue to draw pay in the Special Promotion Post Scale – II while holding the First Level Promotion post. In no case an attempt shall be made to fix the pay with reference to Special Promotion Post Scale-II when an employee while holding such scale got promoted to the first level promotion post and has since completed 8 years of service in that post and starts claiming Special Grade Scale.
