Subject:-IAS (Pay) Rules; 1954 - fixation of pay of

SCS/non-SCS officers promoted in the IAS -
revision of pay scales from 1.1.96 -
clarifications regarding.
. . . . . . ...
Sir:

I am directed to say that subsequent to the

revision o f the pay scales for the Indian Administrative
Service w.e.f. 1.1.1996; a question has been raised in
regard to the made of pay fixation of the SCS/non-SCS
officers promoted in the IAS, in case the pay scales o f
the respective State/non-State Civil Services have not
yet been r e v ~ s e d . It is clarified in this connection
that in these cases, the pay of such promoted officers
would first be fixed on the basis of the reckonable
State pay in the pre-revised IAS pay scales unless this
has been already done. The corresponding stages in the
revised IAS scales would then be allowed in the
component o f the Senior Scale in which such officers
happen to fall in the pre-revised IAS pay scales. This
has to be done t i l l the State pay scales are revised by
the respective State Governments at CPI 1510 which is
the base for the revision o f IAS pay scales from 1.1.96.
Illustrations in this regard are appended with this
letter.

2. The above clarifications will apply

mutatis-mutendis to the promoted officers of the Indian
Police Service and the Indian Forest Service.

Yau s faithfully;
