employees drawing pay upto Grade XVIII in the Revised Pay Scales 1986 and also
introduced another level of Advancement after completion of 22 years of service by
assigning second level promotion post scale/ next higher scale to the holders of SPP I/
SAPP I Scale as the case may be. In the G.O. 5th read above, orders were issued
modifying the Scheme as recommended by the Pay Revision Commission 1993.
According to these orders, the Scheme was modified by allowing Automatic
Advancement Grades on completion of 8,16 and 24 years of service instead of 10, 15
and 22 years of service. It was also ordered for fixation of pay under F.R. 22(a) (i) on
promotion to regular post after availing the benefit of Automatic Advancement
Scheme instead of fixation under F.R.22-B as ordered in G.O.Ms.No.2, Fin &Plg
(PRC.I) Dept., dated 04.01.1988 and also discontinued the SPP-II Scale (Second level
promotion scale) on completion of 24 years in a post, instead it was ordered that
employees who completed 24 years of service shall be allowed one increment in the
SPP-I scale only.
3. Government, based on the recommendations of Pay Revision Commission
1999 issued orders in the G.O. 8th read above continuing the Scheme as recommended
by the Pay Revision Commission 1993 and also exempting those employees who
crossed 45 years of age from passing the Departmental tests, for appointment to the
first level promotion post on the same conditions as were prescribed in
G.O.Ms.No.225, G.A. (Ser.C) Dept., dt.18.05.1999.

recommendations of the Eighth Pay Revision Commission 2003, orders were issued
reintroducing the fixation of pay under F.R.22-B on promotion after availing the
benefit of Automatic Advancement Scheme and also modifying the orders issued
sanctioning one increment in the existing scales of SPP-II/SAPP-II post scale by
reintroducing the SPP-II/SAPP-II Scales on completion of 24 years which is the next
promotion post to the first level promotion post. It was also clearly ordered that in the
case of an employee holding a post for which there is no promotion post under the
relevant Service Rules, he should be eligible to be placed on completion of 24 years
of service, in the scale of pay, next above the scale applicable toSpl.Adhoc Promotion
Post Scale-I.
5. On the recommendations of Ninth Pay Revision Commission, the Government
issued orders in G.O.Ms.No.93, Finance (PC.II) Dept., dt. 03.04.2010, modifying the
earlier orders issued by extending the Scheme to the employees upto and inclusive of
Grade XXV in the Revised Scale (i.e.) Rs.25600-50560 as against the scales of pay
upto under Grade XXI. It was also ordered for fixation of pay under FR 22-B for
those employees who are promoted after availing the benefit of Automatic
Advancement Scheme and if the above fixation results in, the senior drawing less pay
than that of junior, the pay of the senior shall be stepped up w.e.f. the date of
promotion of the junior to a figure equal to the pay fixed for the junior in the higher
post to which he/she is promoted on or after 01.07.2008, subject to the conditions laid
down therein, with monetary benefit from 01.02.2010. Further, Government also
ordered that if the Service Rules are changed imposing additional qualifications, for
promotion after the entry of the individual into service, he shall be allowed the benefit
of the next scale contemplated under Special Adhoc Promotion Post Scale instead of
denying the benefit of promotion and consequently the benefit of SPP-I/SPP-II Scales.
Those who benefited from this dispensation cannot claim the benefit of SPP-I or II
even if they acquire the necessary qualification at a later date.
6. Subsequently, the Joint Action Committee of Employees, Workers and
Teachers of the State, represented for change of periodicity of the Scheme as
6/12/18/24 years of service from the existing provision 8/16/24 years under
Automatic Advancement Scheme. Government have agreed for the change of
