[G.O.Ms. No. 274, Fin. & Plg., (Fin.-Wing. F.R.-I.) Dept., Dt. 8-8-1977]
Order :—In the Government Order G.O.Ms.No. 256, Finance, dated 3-9-1969, orders were issued that in the case of a Government servant who has a lien or no lien on a permanent post the pay which he draws in a higher officiating post from time to time but for appointment to one or the other of the higher posts may be considered as substantive pay for purposes of the Instructions, subject to the condition that he is an approved probationer and that he has put in a continuous service of three years in that post and that the delay in his confirmation is not due to his fault or shortcoming. Consequent on the issue of above orders, Government servants who were not approved probationers and also temporary Government servants who were having no lien on permanent posts were denied the payment of additional pay for holding additional charge of another post.
After careful consideration, Government direct that in case where an un-approved probationer or a Government servant holding post in temporary capacity without having a lien on a permanent post holds additional pay for holding additional charge of another post, and for this purpose the pay drawn by him shall be treated to be substantive pay. This principle shall also apply to permanent employees of local bodies who hold temporary posts or officiate in posts under Government if they have no lien on a permanent posts under Government. Then a pensioner is re-employed, his substantive pay prior to retirement shall be considered as substantive pay for this purpose.
These orders shall have restrospective effect from 3-9-1969 but the cases in which additional pay was paid already need not be re-opened. All pending cases on the date of issue of these orders shall however be decided in the light of these orders.
