Pay fixation

G Saravanan (Querist) 20 November 2017 This query is : Resolved
Sir

I was a Steno C before as Dec. 2006 and my date of increment was February 2007. Based on the Department of Expenditure up-gradation order, my pay was to be fixed w.e.f 1st February 2007, in the scale from Rs.5500-9000/- to Rs.6500-10500/- with effect from 15.9.2006, based on option exercise by me. But, after I qualified in the Section Officers Examination and nomination was also made by DOPT, I chose to join as Section Officer in December, 2006 (before my next date of increment viz., February, 2007). After joining I gave my option to fix my pay w.e.f. February, 2007. But on DOPT's advice taken by my Office, my earlier option was treated as ceased to operate and my pay was fixed in the new post of Section Officer under the normal pay fixation rules (with notional pay). But they took my pay in the previous post as on 15th September, 2007 (as per up-gradation) as the basis, but not my pay in the previous post w.e.f. my date of increment viz., February, 2007. Is this right or not?

No Sir. Because, department obtained the comments of DOPT before fixation of pay. So, i gave revised option for fixation of pay. I need to know whether it is the right decision by Department/DOPT or not? Is there any scope for representation now?
