Explanation

                     In 2013, the Deputy District Education Officer of Lukky Marwat issued a notification of Pre-mature increment of scale 14 to the promoted head teacher on a scale of 12 to 15. According to the rules, promotion was to be done on a scale of 12 to 14 and then to 15 in some districts. On the scale 12 to 15 was given, so a scale of 12 to 14 and then of 15 means a primary head teacher is entitled to two increments, he was given only one increment.

                     The simple case is that the Department promoted employees from BPS-12 to BPS-14. Then the department promoted these employees to BPS-15. The reason was that these employees were to directly promote from BPS-12 to BPS-15. The Department promoted these employees in two steps. Now the department allowed these employees two premature increments. We are waiting for further details whether they got a promotion or upgradation.
