In accordance with the provisions contained in Rule 11 of the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008, where a Government servant opts to continue to draw his pay in the existing scale from the 1st day of January 2006 and switch over to the revised scale from a date later than the 1st day of January, 2006, his pay from the later date in the revised scale is required to be fixed under Rule 11(i) of the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008. As per Rule 5 of these Rules, this option to switch over to the revised pay structure from a date later than 1.1.2006 is available to a Government Servant:

Desperately.....
I fully endorse the above comments. The basic question is how to regulate the subsequent increments due in July 2006 in respoect of those who submit later option. In case the person opted for Revised Pay from a date after 02.01.2006 does not get his next increment in July, 2006, the very purpose of later option is defeated. Therefore, a decision has to come to allow next increment in July, 2006, irrespective of the later option to remoe the anomaly. ...
Thanks.....
What is 1. Revised pay
2. Recommended revised pay
3. Higher replacement scale
4. Revised pay structure
5. Pay Band.
6. Merged scale
7. Merged and upgraded scale.
Unless I know, the scale to be opted, what is the need of revised option. The MOF/DOPT allowed only 3% hike in the existing scale as increment and difference of GP, what is need of revised option and all these many imaginary scales.
It is also not known who is mad after reading the latest OM permitting revised option.
Further, on implementation of 6 CPC the pay scales of S.O, A.A.O were merged & upgraded to the pre-revised scale of 7500-12000 vide para 7.56.9. In view of the above merger & upgradation a clarification was issued stating that promotions from S.O to A.A.O on or after 01-01-06 may be treated as 'NULL & VOID'. Hence, my pay in the revised scale was fixed based on the pay that I was drawing on 01-01-06 i.e., in the S.O cadre (Rs.7100/-).
Recently, DoE vide O.M dtd 05-07-10 has permitted the GS to revise the initial option to switch over to 6 CPC from a date later than 01-01-06 on account of promotion, upgradation or from the DoNI if such option is beneficial.
Based on the above O.M, I revised my initial option to switch over to 6 CPC from 01-06-06 considering the pay drawn in the promoted scale i.e,Rs.7675/-.
In reply, my revised option was rejected by my office quoting the clarification issued treating promotion from S.O to A.A.O as 'Null & Void'.
In this regard can anyone please clarify why i cannot revise my option since i am electing to draw my pay in the pre-revised scale until my DoNI where neither the scale nor the posts were merged and i had also performed the duties of the promoted post till the Notification w.r.t 6 CPC were issued. Can anyone retrospectively merge two posts/scales to the disadvantageous of the GS. PLEASE clarify.
if your promotion order with retrospective date was geven to you after 19 march 2012 ( dt of order ) you can very well give ur option once
again
