Employee Under Suspension--- Revision Of Pay scale as per 6th pay commission

 The pay scale of Central Government employees and Maharashtra state government employees have been revised as per recommendations of 6th pay commission. However from the e mails received from the viewers of the blog it appears the departmental officers are not fully aware as to how and when  the pay of the employees under suspension is to be revised with the result that the pay of the  employees  who were not under suspension on 1-1-2006 but suspended thereafter has not been revised and they are being paid the subsistence allowance calculated on the basis of old pay scale. Therefore the following clarification is issued as regards pay revision in case of employees under suspension.

1)  In case of  an employee who was suspended prior to 1-1-2006 and who is still under suspension, the revision of pay will not be done and he will be continued to draw the subsistence allowance fixed on the basis of his pay in the prerevised pay scale.
2) In case of an employee who was suspended prior to 1-1-2006 and then reinstated after completion of conduct of departmental inquiry, the pay will have to be fixed considering the order  passed by the disciplinary as regards the treatment of suspension period and the option of selection of pay scale exercised by him.

 3 )   An  employee suspended after 1-1-2006 and who is continued to be under suspension,  should be allowed to exercise the option of electing the revised pay scale , even if the date by which he is to exercise the option falls during the period of suspension. Such employee is entitled to the benefit of increase in pay, if any, including the arrears in respect of the period from 1-1-2006 to the date of suspension  and also in the subsistence allowance (including arrears) consequent  to increase in pay.
4) An employee suspended after 1-1-2006 and then reinstated after completion of departmental  inquiry against him,  should be allowed to exercise the option and his pay should be fixed as per revised pay rules.  He should be paid arrears if any for the period from 1-1-2006 to the date of suspension.His pay from the date of reinstatement should be fixed considering the final order imposing penalty  passed by the competent authority and also the order regarding treatment of suspension and payment of  pay and allowances during the suspension period.
