In the implementation phase, many anomalies arose out of this.</p> <p>In the 7<sup>th</sup> CPC, two dates of increment were proposed instead of the previous single date of increment in the 6<sup>th</sup> CPC. It was done with the intention to provide similar scope for all the employees. In the 7<sup>th</sup> CPC, date of increment in the case of employees joined in government service or promoted in between 2<sup>nd</sup> day of January and 1st day of July (both inclusive) on next 1st day of January, and the increment in respect of an employee appointed or promoted or granted financial up gradation during the period between 2<sup>nd</sup> day of July and 1<sup>st</sup> day of January (both inclusive) shall be granted on 1st day of July.</p> <p>However, in case of Assam, the government is not following the two dates of increments. Instead of it, it is providing one increment to those who have already completed three months of service. This worsens the situation for almost half of the employees. We understand that Education is a State issue but such modification seems both unusual and uncalled for especially where it adversely affects the career prospects of the half of all the employees.</p> <p>The modification in the 7th CPC by the Government of Assam divides all the employees into two groups- one with more avenues and another group with fewer avenues. In the following, an example is cited to describe the problem in detail.</p> <p> In Case-1, a Person-A has joined as Assistant Professor with Master Degree and UGC NET on 30/3/2016. His basic pay on 1/7/2023 will be Rs. 73,100.00. However, in Case-2, a Person-B has joined as Assistant Professor with Master Degree and UGC NET on 2/4/2024 (just after two days from the date of joining of the Person-A). His basic pay on 1/7/2023 will be Rs. 68,900.00 and to get the Basic pay equivalent to the Person-A mentioned in the Case-1, Person-B need to spend another two years. The situation will worsen when both the people will move to the Academic Level-12, 13-A, and 14. For example, on 1/7/2029, Person-A will get a basic pay of Rs. 95,300 whereas Person-B on the same date will get a basic pay of Rs. 87,200.00.</p> <p> So, considering the sensitiveness of the matter, I request your honour to take the matter seriously and initiate appropriate action in this regard.</p> <p> Thanking you in anticipation.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Yours Sincerely<strong><br/></strong></p> <p><strong>Case-1</strong></p> <table width="676"> <tbody><tr><td width="562"><p><strong>Description</strong></p> </td> <td width="114"><p><strong>Basic Pay</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr><td width="562"><p>Date of Joining of <strong>Person-A</strong> with Master Degree along with UGC NET is: 30/3/2016.
