GRANT OF HEALTH ALLOWANCE TO HEALTH PERSONNEL (DEFENCE PAID EMPLOYEES) IN FEDERAL GOVT

Hon'able FST issued the judgment in favour of Applicants in Appeal Nos 867(R)/(CS)/2013 to 872(R)/(CS)/2013

Case filed by by Assistant Health Inspector Mubashir Iqbal Zafar, Muhammad Luqman, Allah Bakhsh, Muhammad Riaz, Zulfiqar Ali, Attiq-ur-Rehman  of Station Health Organization(SHO) VS  1. The Secretary, M/o Defence,   2. The Secretary, M/o Finance , 3. Surgeon General/DG, Medical Dte GHQ, Rwp, 4. Military Accountant General (MAG), through Matloob Hussain Malik, Advocate

JUDGMENT

Significant to note that even the MAG had not the audacity to deny the claim of the appellants. It is simply trying to hand them on the tenterhooks and to await the endorsement of the Finance Division O.M dated 06-02-2012 by the M/o Defence. As observed earlier, on the basis of the delay by the M/o Defence, the appellants cannot be deprived of their right incessantly which has accrued in their favour because of the notification of 06-02-2012 issued by the M/o Finance. That being the case, we are having no hesitation in accepting these appeals and to direct the respondents to grant the health allowance equivalent to one basic pay of running salary to the appellant w.e.f 01-01-2012. The needful be done within a period of four months.

Special Thanks to Mr. Mubashir Iqbal Zafar for providing the judgment. Congratulation to all health personnel

CLARIFICATIONS SOUGHT BY VARIOUS MINISTRIES / DIVISIONS / DEPARTMENTS/ ORGANIZATION ETC. REGARDING GRANT OF PREMATURE INCREMENT ON UP-GRADATION

Finance Division (Regulation Wing) O.M. No. F.11(4)R-2/2013-1427 dated: 22 October, 2013

Govt of Pakistan Finance Division Regulation Wing has issued Office Memorandum (Notification)  dated 22nd October 2013 regarding the clarification about the Premature Increment on Upgradation. The queries arisen by various Departments/Divisions/Departments/Organizations etc were examined in connection with the premature increment on upgradation.

 The clarification of the same is as under:

S/No	Querry	Clarification
1	Whether the employees of BPS-01 to 04 who were moved one scale up wef 01-07-2007 without upgrading their posts are eligible for one prematureincrement under O.M F.No.11 (4) R-2/2011-1153 dated/2013 dated 31-05-2013.	No. Finance Division’s O.M dated 31-05-2013 provides for grant of premature increment on upgradation and not on move up.
2	Whether the employees who were holding Selection Grade prior to up-gradation of their posts in BPS already held by them are also eligible to the benefit of premature incrementon up-gradation of their posts.	Yes. Just as in same scale promotion.
3	Whether the employees who were holding Selection Grade and were drawing pay at the maximum of their pay scalesin which their posts had been upgraded are entitled to one premature increment as personal pay beyond the maximum of pay scales or otherwise.	Since the annual increment beyond the scope of pay scales was first time allowed wef 01-12-2005 in BPS-2005, therefore the employees who were at the maximum of their pay scales in which their posts have been upgraded are entitled to get one premature increment as personal pay as is granted to same scale promotion wef 01-12-2005.
4	Whether the employees who have been upgraded or granted one scale move up on or after 2nd June of a calendar year can opt for re-fixation of their pay on 1st December of that calendar year in the light ofFinance Division O.M No. F.3 (2) GAZ.IMP.I/75 dated 14-10-1975.	Yes
5	Whether premature incrementwill be granted to inspectors of FBR who were upgraded twice 1st in 2008 and 2nd in January 2013 from BPS-11 to BPS-14 and BPS-14 to BPS-16 respectively.	Yes
6	Whether premature incrementis admissible on upgradation of contractual staff employed on standard terms and conditions of contract or otherwise.	Contract Employees who have been appointed in a BPS on standard terms and conditions of contract appointment if upgraded along with post are entitled to get one premature increment as in case of regular employees.
7	a- Whether the Private Secretary/Stenographer (re-designated as APS), Steno Typist, who have been upgraded Vide O.M No. 19 (55) Legal-II/2010-1055 dated 23-12-2011, are entitled for premature increment on upgradation.	a- Premature Increment is admissible in case of Steno Typists, Stenographers, only whose posts have been upgraded. The post of Private Secretary has not been upgraded rather they have been granted time scale on completion of prescribed length of service, therefore they have not been allowed premature increment.
	b- If yes, what would be the criteria of admissibility of grant of premature increment and arrears on up gradation?	b- Whether the stage in BPS of higher (upgraded) post next above the pay admissible in BPS of lower (pre-upgraded post), gives the increment in pay equal to or less than a full increment of higher post will be fixed after allowing a prematureincrement in BPS of higher post.
