I shall explain here all the situations here for the Re-Fixation of Pay by Using Option after Allowing Annual Increment. This situation may face every employee during his / her service. If the employee is promoted/upgraded/reappointed after 1st June to 30th November, he/she must have to think about his pay fixation. The employee may have a loss till her/his service and even during his pension if his/her pay is not correctly fixed by the accounts office.
Re-Fixation of Pay by Using Option after Granting Annual Increment
There are many employees who faced this issue and ultimately had to bear a loss of increment. If the employee is promoted, upgraded, or re-appointed from lower to higher scale through proper channel on or before 1st June then there is no issue. But if the situation occurs after 1st June then there may be an issue.
Examples of Re-Fixation of Pay
Let’s explain the situation with examples.
Suppose an employee gets a promotion on 15th June 2020 from BPS-07 to BPS-11. His basic pay in BPS-07 was 19530/- as on 14-6-2020, let’s fix his/her pay with option and without option.
Without Option
| Sr. No | Date | Pay | Remarks |
| 1 | Pay on 14-06-2020 | 19530/- | BPS-07 |
| 2 | Pay on 15-06-2020 | 19610/- | BPS-11 Next Above |
| 3 | Pay on 15-06-2020 | 20490/- | BPS-11 (1x Premature Increment) |
| 4 | Pay on 01-12-2020 | 20490/- | NO Annual Increment as the employee did not complete 6 months of service in BPS-11 |
In this example, the employee fixed his / her pay on 15-06-2020 without using the option. He / She will get the benefit of pay and allowances with effect from his pay fixation i.e 15th June 2020. But the employee will not get the annual increment on 1st December as he/she has not completed a continuous service of six months on 1st December. So the employee gets benefits of pay and allowances from his/her promotion date but will not get the annual increment. This annual increment is the loss for him/her throughout his/her service.
With Option
| Sr. No | Date | Pay | Remarks |
| 1 | Pay on 14-06-2020 | 19530/- | BPS-07 |
| 2 | Pay on 30-11-2020 | 19530/- | BPS-07 |
| 3 | Pay on 01-12-2020 | 20140/- | BPS-07 (Annual Increment) |
| 4 | Pay on 01-12-2020 | 20490/- | Pay Fixed in BPS-11 (Next Above) |
| 5 | Pay on 01-12-2020 | 21370/- | BPS-11 Premature Increment |
In this example the pay of the employee they will fix after the annual increment. He/She will get the benefits of promotion after annual increment but not from the actual date of the promotion. So the employee will get the loss of pay and allowances for wef 15th June to 1st December. But eventually, he/she will get more basic pay that will be worth for whole of his /her service. In 1st Example, they fixed the pay of the employee Rs. 20490/- while in 2nd example they fixed the pay as 21370/- So the employee gets 1x increment benefit by just sacrificing a few months’ pay and allowances.
Note: There may occur in a few cases that the fixation is the same by using options and without using the option. In such cases, it is better the employee may not use the option. For Federal Government employees, they can use this option on promotion, up-gradation, and re-appointment. Federal Government employees can use option for fixation of pay on reappointment from lower to higher pay scale. While the case may differ for provincial employees except on promotion. On promotion, all Pakistan employees can use this option.
IAM a sst teacher since 2018 and my basic pay is 37110 now IAM selected as lecturer in public service commission through proper channel.now what will be next procedure and how my pay will effect?
37110 in which scale?
When did you join as a lecturer?

in July An regular employee get promoted from 17 scale THQ hospital and appointed in 18scale at DHQ hospital where House rent allownce is more (Rs.4433 for 17scale at THQ and Rs.6650 at DHQ for 17th scale)and an extra allownce called uniform/wardi allownce is admissible.using option is beneficial for him/her.if he/she uses option his pay will remain in previous scale till 1st December.My Question is will he get House rent as per LPC of previous place of posting or his House rent of July to December will be increased as per new place of posting.And will he get Uniform (wardi) allownce from July to December as this allownce was not permissible at her previous place of posting but is permissible at the new assignment.

Respected sir,
I was working as computer Operator BPS-16 in KP Mineral department till 25-09-2018. On 26-09-2018 I was selected as SST BPS-16 in KP Elementary and Secondary education department on contrat basis. Now my services are regularized from the date of initial appointment as SST. I had joined SST through proper channel. On 25-09-2018 my basic pay was 20430, and on SST I was given fresh initial pay 18910.
Now my question is that can I exercise an option or not? How my pay will be fixed and how much increments I may b granted using option?
You have to check whether you have benefits with option or without option. Your pay will not be fixed at the initial if the previous service was also regular. Then ur pay will be fixed as per the LPC of ur previous job.
Sir my previous service was regular. Sir can you please write me the entries to be made in my ledger account in account office because auditor don’t know how to do this. I shall be extremely thankful to you.
You can email me full details at [email protected]. All details of pay year wise
pay as per LPC etc all dates
Thanks, sir sent through mail.
ok, welcome I shall check.
sir i was appointed BPS-11 in 2010 and promoted through proper channel in BPS-12 about 2017 all my period as a contract bases and on dated 2017 when i promoted all 6 increment removed and reappoint initial stage now i am regular but not include previous 6 years increment kindly suggest me
If the previous contract service is not regularized you will not get the increments of these years.
Sir we were given time scale promotion on 9 sep 2022, though we have completed the required service in March and April 2022. Now tell me is there any rule to get increment in that year in which pay revision is occurred or you suggest us to go to the court and they may give the order to grant us the increment as we have completed service before 31st May.
Ragards
It would be better to grant the TSP with effect from the date of completion of the required service.
Dear,
If Superintendent (BPS-17) is promoted to Assistant Director (BPS-17) after 1st June 2022, he will be entitled to two increments on promotion but my question is whether he can exercise option that he may get annual increment in Superintendent (BPS-17) and then allowed two extra increments on 02.12.2022 as Assistant Director.
so in total, he will get three increments.
Yes, he can opt to fix his pay after getting annual increment in previous pay scale.
assalam-o-Alaikum sir.
I was in bps-04 appointed 10-03-2015 and i apply through proper channel to another deptt and select in bps-11 on 04-08-2022. Now plz tell me about my pay rule plz
You have to get from your department your previous pay protected and counting of the previous service. After the approval, your pay will be fixed next above plus one premature increment under the rules.
I was appointed in BPS-15 in 02 August 2006 through proper channel in my same department after 10 years service in BPS-5. It came to my knowledge in year 2021 that annual increment of BPS-5 as admissible in the rules was not given to me at the time of fixation of pay in 2006. Therefore, application forwarded to accounts department for re-fixation of pay. However, same has been returned un-actioned stating that option for annual increment can only be exercised in the year in which an employee is promoted/appointed and not at later stages of service. Therefore, case cannot be entertained.
Therefore, I am looking for such rules that indicate that the option for annual increment is time bound or not.
Thanking you,
Ali
ali sb men increment ly chuka hon or option kisi time ly sakty ho

I was regularizes on 16.08.2012 and my basic pay was started from first stage. But in December 2012 I was given annual increment and still included in my pay. Is this annual increment applicable to me. Pls guide me.
If you regularized on 16-08-2012 and your previous service is not counted and regularized then you are not eligible for the annual increment for that year.
If yu regularized on 16-08-2012 and your previous service is not counted and regularized then you are not eligible for the annual increment for that year.

No.1 BPS-5 w.e.f 11/06/1998 to 16/12/2005 (over 7 years)
No.2 BPS-12 w.e.f 17/12/2005 to 14/11/2006 (11 months)
No.3 BPS-15 w.e.f 15/11/2006 to date & upgraded
Questions:
1) Entitled for pre-mature increment from Apptt No.2 to No.3 or not (rules pls)
2) Entitled for exercising Option for re-fixation or not (rules pls)
You can try for the same, however, I have heard that there should be 3 years of service for the next premature increment.
You should apply for the re-fixation with using the option.

I was promoted from grade 15 to 17. I joined on 1.9.2020. My pay was fixed in grade 17 by granting premature increment w.e.f 1.9.2020. But I was not granted annual increment on 1.12.2020. I am going to retire on 19.4.2021.
Will annual increment be paid to me on my retirement ? If not can I use option of refixation of my pay in grade 17 w.e.f 01.12.2020 at this stage while 18 days left to my retirement.
Your urgent guidance is required please.

Welcome
AOA
On your good advice I had submitted my case for reification with option on 2.4.21 but the same has not been finalized and ag Office has informed that the same is under process. On the other hand I have gone retired on 19.4.21. Please advice that should I wait for finalization of my pay refixation or submit my pension paper by quoting the already drawing.
What should I do please.
It is better you personally meet the Accounts Office concerned person and give him the reason of ur retirement.
Dear Admin,
After availing such option on promotion as discussed above, what about seniority, may it lose or not?
No effect on seniority, it is just a pay benefit.
Thank you Sir,
Any supporting notification in this regard, plz share if possible
Regards!
I have shared documents on my website and you can search the same at my website.
Sir plz apni website btaa dein

Sir AoA!
Hope this will find you all the best!
My Q is that availing of such option on promotion can lose or affect the Seniority.
Pls also share notification in this regard, if any.
Thanks a lot.
This is just a pay/allowances benefit and it will not affect seniority. Thousands of employees have used this option.
AoA Admin,
May such option on promotion affect Seniority?
Pls share notification in this regard, if any.
Hoping for early response
No effect on Seniority.
I had got the Time Scale Upgradation from BPS14 to BPS-16 as C/Asstt: on 01/07/2016. I opted for getting the Annual increment in my lower scale BPS-14 & then fixation in BPS-16 on 01/12/2016. Meanwhile, the post was upgraded on 10/10/2016 from BPS-14 to BPS- 15 & one time dispensation to BPS-16. My question is that after availing the Annual increment in lower scale BPS-14, whether I can get the benefits of both the up gradation I.e, the benefit of up gradation of post from BPS-14 to BPS-15 & BPS-16 (one time dispensation) & then Time Scale Up gradation to to BPS-16 on 01/12/2016.
Please, tell me about the fixation method in this unique case.
A.o.A Sir,
Sir I m promoted from UDC bps-11 to Assistant bps-15. Promotion date is 6 Nov 2020. My running pay in bps-11 is Rs. 14330, and initial pay of bps-15 is Rs. 16120. What should I do to get premature increment. Someone said that you cannot re-fix your pay on 1 Dec 2020 as after getting annual increment on 1 Dec in bps-11 your pay in the next stage remains same as Rs. 16120
Just try
Pay on 30-11-2020 Rs. 14330/- BPS-11
Pay on 01-12-2020 Rs. 16120/- BPS-11 (Annual Increment) Using Option
Pay on 01-12-2020 Rs. 17450/- Next Above BPS-15 On Promotion
Pay on 01-12-2020 Rs. 18780/- Premature Increment
Dear sir, Can any Federal employee apply to avail option of annual increment in lower scale after few years of service?
If mistakenly done then he/she has the right to claim it.
Please provide any notification,om, office order in this regard, because I have faced the same situation. I was appointed in a higher scale in the same organization on 26-08-2011. I have not aware of any option for fixation nor my organization told me about this. Now I have came to know through your post that any such option is available. Also please guide me if I move my application for annual as well as premature increment, so I will get the said benefits?
I have shared the link of these orders by the Federal Govt in this post.
sir please answer this question in detail I did not give option for premature increment in time due to unawareness on reappointment through proper channel in the same department in October 1998. In this way I could not got premature increment
on reappointment . Now after passing 23 years I can apply for re-fixation on 1st December 1998 with the option to give me premature increment on 1st December 1998 . Is it possible ?
You can apply for the same with all details.

What is Presumptive Increment
As per my information presumptive increment is for those employee who utilize the option of fixation at the time of promotion (in case of promotion after 30 June)
Yes, it is the same and also applicable in up-gradation and re-appointment for Federal and some provinces.
What is the rule for pay fixation in case of promotion from higher to lower scale..? Premature incrementallowed or not?
Premature increment on greater responsibilities/ duties allowed or not?
Thanks
First, there is no fixation on promotion from higher to lower pay scale.
Can i use the option certificate twice in calender year. One for my up gradation of post from 12 to 14 on 11 sep 20 and second promotion from bps 14 to 15 on 18 nov 20 to protect my annual increment. Plz advice
I think u can use but there may be an issue for the premature increment.
Sir in which month the option of re-fixation of pay will apply??
Re-fixation of pay on option on 2-12-2020 is not in order.
Re-fixation must be wef 1-12-2020 as per fin div letter dt 14-10-1975
