Fundamental Rules to sanction annual increments in the case of the Government Servants

who have rendered one full year of service and retires on superannuation on the last date

date of increment of a Government Servant falls due on the day following superannuation

on completion of one full year of service, such service may be considered for the benefit

of a notional increment purely for the purpose of pensionary benefits and not for any

other purpose. Such concession may be made applicable prospectively.

The Government have decided to accept the above recommendation of Pay

Grievance Redressal Cell. Accordingly the Government have directed that a Government

Servant _whose increment falls due on the day following the day of superannuation, en

completion of one full year of service which are countable for increment under

Fundamental Rules 26, be sanctioned with one notional increment at the rate as

described under rule 6 of Tamil Nadu Revised Scales of Pay Rules, 2009, purely for the

purpose of pensionary benefits and not for any other purpose. The above concession of

sanction of notional increment shall take prospective effect from the date of issue of this

order.
