Grant of Ration Money Allowance to the Non-Gazetted personnel of Andaman & Nicobar Police, including personnel of India Reserve Battalion

The Union Cabinet today approved the following:

(i) The grant of Ration Money Allowance at the rate of Rs.1697/-per month per head to the non-gazetted personnel of A&N Police and such personnel of India Reserve Battalions (IRBn) as are posted in Andaman & Nicobar Islands with immediate effect; and

(ii) The revision of the rate of Ration Money Allowance from time to time in accordance with the same formula as is currently applicable to the non-gazetted personnel of Central para military forces.



This will fulfill a long pending demand of the non-gazetted police personnel and personnel of IRBn posted in the Union Territory and bring them at par with the personnel of Delhi Police.

As per the existing strength of non-gazetted police personnel and personnel of India Reserve Battalion posted in the UT, annual expenditure is estimated to be in order of Rs.87.8 crore

As per existing instructions, Ration Money Allowance is paid to Police personnel of A&N Police posted at Look Out Posts (LOPs) only. LOPs are situated at Chowra, Teressa, Kondul, Pillow-Millow, Tillongchang, Narcondum, East Island and Interview Island. As a result only a few A&N Police personnel get Ration Money Allowance and that too only for their tenures at LOPs. However, the present approval allows all the 4314 non-gazetted staff of Andaman & Nicobar Police and such personnel of India Reserve Battalion as are posted in A&N Islands to be extended this benefit at the rates applicable to Central Para Military Forces.

How to calculate annual or promotional increment for Central Government employees as per 6th CPC..?

How to calculate annual or promotional increment for Central Government employees as per 6th CPC..?




The logic is very simple, but everyone should know about the procedure of calculation.



We explain with some illustrations...



The increment is an increase in pay for each year in a particular date. As per 6th CPC the annual increment has been granted on 1st July of every year and the qualifying period for earning an increment is six months on 1st July. One increment is equal to 3% (three per cent) of the sum of the pay in the pay band and the grade pay will be computed and rounded off to the next multiple of ten.





"As per the Rule No.13 of CCS(Revised Pay) Rules 2008, “In the case of calculation of increments under the revised pay structure, paise should be ignored, but any amount of a rupee or more should be rounded off to next multiple of 10".





To illustrate, if the amount of increment comes to Rs.1900.70 paise, then the amount will be rounded off to Rs.1900; if the amount of increment works out to be Rs.1901, then it will be rounded off to Rs.1910.”





And finally the increment amount will be added to the existing pay in the pay band.



For example :







An employee's pay in the pay band is Rs.10,230 and his grade pay Rs.2800, his basic pay = 10,230 + 2,800 = 13,030



His increment will be calculated as follows...

13,030 x 3% = 390.90

after rounded off to ten, it will be Rs.390 only.



Whereas, the another employee's pay in the pay band is Rs.10240 and his grade pay Rs.2800, his basic pay = 10,240 + 2,800 = 13,040

His increment will be calculated as follows...

13,040 x 3% = 391.20

then it will be rounded off to Rs.400.
