ANNEXURE - "C" To illustrate fitment and
increment as per clauses 1(c) and (e) of the agreement, the example is given
below of an employee in Grade III whose basic pay on 31.3.82 in the
pre-existing scale was Rs. 161.00
Pre-existing scale of pay
As at 31.3.82 New scale of pay
As at 1.4.82. (on revision)
Basic.............. Rs. 161.00 Basic ...................Rs. 180.00
D.A. (14%) Rs.
22.54 Increment ............Rs. 5.00
V.D.A.
(24%) Rs. 38.64 D.A. (40% of Rs. 185/-) 74.00
Total ..... Rs.
222.18 Total ... Rs. 259.00
Thus, difference on revision on is
RS. 36.82
If the employee was given an
increment on 1.4.82 of Rs. 4.00 in the old scale, and his basic pay become Rs.
165.00 for the purpose of fitment his basic pay will be taken as Rs. 161.00
which was his basic pay on 31.3.82 and he will also be fitted at Rs. 130.00 as
before. The position is shown below:-
As at 1.4.82
As at 1.4.82 (on revision )
Basic
...... Rs. 165.00 Basic .... Rs. 180.00
D.A. (14%) Rs. 23.00 Increment .... Rs. 5.00
V.D.A. (24%) Rs. 39.00 D.A. ..... Rs.
74.00
Total Rs. 227.70 Total..... Rs. 259.00
The difference on revision in this
case is Rs. 31.30 P.
The difference, as the case may be on fitment,
will be payable to the employee concerned.
The difference, as increment of
employees in Grade II per clauses 1 (d) and 1 (e) of agreement will be
determinated in the same manner,
