7 PERMANENT ADVANCE
Purpose of Permanent Advance

Permanent Advance is granted to officers who have to make


payments, before they place themselves in funds by drawing on the
treasury. The amount of advance is fixed by the Government up
to the amount advised as appropriate by the Accountant General.

7.1 Procedure to Draw Permanent Advance


The Head of Departments may sanction permanent advances for
their subordinate officers in consultation with the Accountant
General, but in the case of a Head of Department himself, it will
be sanctioned by the next superior administrative authority. The
officer submits a request along with a statement of expenditure
for the last 12 months under the various detailed objects, excluding
object heads relating to employees related expenses and other
objects under which petty expenses are not incurred to the Account
Office concerned. The Account Office after considering the need
of the office in view of quantum of expenditure and nature of duties
involved recommend appropriates amount of permanent advance.
Then the office submits the case along with recommendations of
the Accounts Office to the Sanctioning Authority for sanction. On
having been sanctioned the concerned DDO submit a bill to the
Accounts Office for drawl of cheque/cash. The advances should
not be multiplied unnecessarily. The holder of the advance is
responsible for its safe custody and he must always be ready to
account for the total amount of money.

7.2 Enhancement of Permanent Advance


All applications for revision or increase of advance should be
submitted to the sanctioning authority through the Accountant
General who will advise as to appropriate enhanced amount of
advance. The difference between enhanced and previous amount
of permanent advance would be drawn in the same manner as
stated in above para.

7.3 Classification
The permanent advance is drawn under detail Object head “F02101-
Permanent Advances (Civil)” which is an “Asset” / Object head of
account. It is a non-budgeted head (object head of Public Account).

7.4 Closing of Permanent Advance


Amount of Permanent Advance once drawn remained with the
concerned officer for indefinite period. The claims of amount of
Permanent Advance utilized, temporarily, on various departmental

expenses is drawn under the appropriate detailed objects and on receipt of cheque / cash the amount is
recouped under the column “Out of Permanent Advance” in the receipt side of the Cash Book and hence,

the amount is required to be deposited under the same detailed object head “F02101” in a branch of SBP
or designated branch of NBP.

himself that the services of the Government Servant concerned
are correctly recorded in each service book, should record in it
a certificate in the following form, over his signature:-

temporary or officiating. The head of the office in recording the
annual certificate of verification should in the case of any portion
of service that cannot be verified from office records, distinctly
state that for the excepted period (naming them) a statement in
writing by the Government Servants, as well as a record of the
evidence of his contemporaries, is attached to the book.

not be affected by the fact of the borrower being on leave of any kind and drawing leave salary. During the extra-
ordinary leave without pay and allowances, the installments should be recovered in cash. If the employee fails to
pay the installments in cash, the arrears of installments should be recovered in lump sum from the first payment
of pay and allowances, which may become due at the end of leave.

12 FIXATION OF PAY AND PAY /


SERVICE VERIFICATION
(SRs,DDO Hand Book, Notification of FD, Chapter-IV of CSR-Punjab)

The fixation of pay is within the competence of a Local Government,


except that if the personal pay is allowed to a Government Servant
on certain considerations, the pay of the Government Servant
cannot be so increased as to exceed the pay sanctioned for this
post. (F.R. 19)

12.1 Pay Fixation on Initial Appointment

12.1.1 On first appointment to a post The pay of a Government


Servant is fixed at the minimum of the time scale of the post.
[F.R. 22(b)]
12.1.2 Premature Increments In case of first appointment fixation
of initial pay can be done by grant of not more than six premature
increments subject to the conditions:
(a) In cases of persons recruited through the Federal Public Service
Commission (FPSC) premature increments should be granted on
the recommendations of the FPSC and in consideration of the fact
that suitable persons of requisite qualifications are not available on
the minimum pay of the post.
(b) No premature increment should be granted in cases of adhoc
appointments in anticipation of FPSC recommendations.
(c) In posts where recruitment is not made through FPSC premature
increments should be granted only after the appointing authority
certifies that suitable persons of requisite qualifications are not
available on the minimum of the sanctioned pay scale of the posts.
[Item 16 of Annex-II to the M.O.F.O.M.No.F1(5) R-12/80, dated
11.3.1981 and F.1(7) R-12/81, dated 14.10.1981)]

other or one government (Federal, Provincial or District) , to other
government the pay of the employee is protected and fixed as per
following procedure:
On appointment in the same pay scale the employee will retain
the same pay and period of previous service during the current
increment would also count for annual increment.
In case of appointment from lower to higher pay scale, the pay will
be fixed just like case of regular promotion i.e. after allowing
premature increment after next stage on appointment in a office
of a Federal Government. If the appointment is in an office of the
Provincial or District Government of Province Punjab then fixation
would be made at next stage and premature increment would not
be allowed.
If such appointment is made from higher to lower pay scale, the
pay will be fixed at immediate lower stage and difference between
previous and new pay will be granted as Personal Pay which would
be absorbed in the pay on earning of increment or other
enhancement in the pay.
The protection of pay is also admissible to contract employees
who apply, through proper channel, in terms of S & GAD OM Wing

12.2 Annual Increment


12.2.1 The increment in a time-scale is drawn as a matter of course, unless it is withheld by the competent
authority as a disciplinary measure due to misconduct or unsatisfactory work. (F.R. 24)
12.2.2 Annual increment is allowed in a pay scale on 1st December each year provided duty period, during the
period under increment (1st December - 30th November) is at least six months in that pay scale or higher
pay scale.
12.2.3 Conditions of service for increments (F.R. 26):- The service in a post on a time-scale counts
for increments as follows:
12.2.3.1 All duty in a post on a time-scale and periods of leave other than extraordinary leave count for increments
in that time-scale.
12.2.3.2 If a Government Servant holds lien or a suspended lien against a post, the service in another post, whether
in a substantive or officiating capacity, service on deputation counts for increment in that post.
12.2.3.3 If a Government Servant officiating in a post or holding a temporary post in a time-scale is appointed to
officiate in another post which does not carry pay less than the pay of his original post, his service in the
higher post shall count for increments in the lower post. This also covers the case of a Government Servant
who might not actually have been officiating in the lower post at the time of his appointment to the higher
post.
12.2.3.4 Foreign Service counts for increments in the time-scale of the post in Government service on which the
Government Servant holds a lien or a suspended lien.
12.2.3.5 Following are the important decisions having a bearing on the calculation of increments: -
(a) The joining time counts for increment in the same post.
(b) The period of training will count towards increment in the time-scale of the post.

12.3 Increment During the Year of Retirement


Increment during the year of retirement has been allowed to be included in the emoluments reckonable
for pension if the Civil Servant retired during the period 1st June to 30th November. This increment is
allowed only when all the conditions for the drawl of increment including minimum qualifying service of
6(six) months in the relevant pay scale are fulfilled.

12.4 Annual Increment as Personal Pay on Reaching Maximum of Pay Scale


All those Government Servant who exhausted the relevant pay scale (reached the maximum of their PS)
are entitled to draw annual increment, as Personal Pay, subject to having six months service in respective
PS, from 1st December 2005.The amount of personal pay on this account will not be reduced but treated
as part of Pay Scale for the purpose of fixation of pay, pension etc. The rate of such increments over and
above the maximum of basic pay will also be revised on revision of pay scales.
(FD OM # F.1(6)/Imp/2005 , dated 13th October 2006)

12.5 Fixation and Presumptive Fixation on Promotion


12.5.1 In cases where an employee, before reaching the maximum of a basic scale of pay, is appointed to another
post on a higher basic scale of pay between 2nd June and 30th November of a calendar year may, at this
option, get his pay in the higher scale re-fixed from 1st December of that year of promotion with reference
to his presumptive pay on that date, in the pre-promotion scale.
[Ministry of finance O.M. No.F.3(2)Gaz-Imp-1/75, dated 14.10.1975]
12.5.2 The above benefit of re-fixation of pay is also admissible when a Government Servant has already reached
the maximum of his pay scale and increment is to be allowed as personal pay in terms of Finance Division
OM # F-1(6) Imp/2005, dated 13 October, 2006.
[Finance Division O.M. No.F.3(1)R-2/2006-01, dated 23.01.2007]
(a) Occasions on which Fixation of Pay is made with One Premature Increment after Allowing Next above Stage
In the following cases, pay of a Government Servant is fixed at next above stage + one pre-mature increment,
but not beyond the maximum of scale. If his pay in the old scale is less than the minimum of his new scale,
the pay will be fixed at a stage which is not lower than the minimum of the new scale, and also gives a
benefit of more than one increment in the new pay scale. A simpler method would be to add, one increment
of the higher new scale to the Government Servant's pay in the old scale and fix the pay in the new scale
at a stage above the total so arrived at. However, where benefit of next stage and premature increment is

74
Fixation of Pay And Pay / Ser vice Verification

admissible in the same pay scale, the pay is fixed by granting two increments.
(a) Promotion from lower to higher post in the higher pay scale.
(b) Promotion to higher post in the same pay scale to which a Government Servant has already reached by
way of move-over.
(c) Award of Selection Grade to the same pay scale to which the Government Servant has already moved-
over.
(d) Appointment to higher post/pay scale, where previous pay is (pension able service) protected.
(e) Appointment on acting charge basis to higher post in the higher pay scale.
Only next stage in case of Punjab Government.
Period of acting charge appointment does not count for earning of annual increment until completion of
the prescribed length of service. However, the Government Servant may opt for re-fixation of pay on 1st
December each year with reference to his presumptive pay on that date in the pre-appointment scale.
In Punjab Government correspondence stage, if there is no equal stage then next stage.

(b) Occasions on which Pay is fixed only on the Next Stage


(a) Move-over to the next higher pay scale.
(b) *Up-gradation of post along with its incumbent.
(c) Promotion in the same pay scale which a Government Servant is already holding by way of selection grade.
(d) Promotion to higher post where the Government Servant is already drawing pay in the pay scale higher
than the pay scale of the post to which he is promoted (e.g. moved-over pay scale followed by Selection
Grade).
*corresponding stage or next stage if there is no equal stage in the higher pay scale

12.6 Combination of Appointment


12.6.1 The combination of appointments in terms of F.R.49 should be made as a temporary measure and should
not ordinarily be made for a period of more than 6 months and additional remuneration as special allowance
should not exceed an amount equal to 20% or Rs.6000 whichever is less. In case of additional charge of
lower post, the remuneration will not exceed @10% or Rs.3000 whichever is less. When an officer is
appointed to hold additional charge of an equivalent post, it will not be necessary to obtain the approval
of the Central Selection Board. The Ministry / Department concerned may make such an appointment in
consultation with the FD which comes under preview of Selection Board. But when an officer is appointed
to hold current charge of a higher post for a period exceeding two months, the approval of Selection Board
is necessary. (FD O.M No.26(13)/63-AI,dated 2nd July,1964)

should not be made for a period less than one month and should not exceed three months and it should
be allowed with specific approval of the Secretaries / Additional Secretaries / Heads of Attached Departments
/ Heads of Department not below BPS-21. However, it may be extended by another three months with
the approval of next higher authority.
(c) Immediately on the expiry of six months of the full additional charge of the particular vacant post, the post
shall be treated as having been abolished and its duties automatically becoming part of the normal duties
of the other existing posts of he same category in the Divisions / Departments concerned.

12.7 Current Charge / Pay of Higher Post


12.7.1 In current charge appointment cases where a vacancy in a higher post occurs and it is considered impossible
for good reasons to make arrangements for day to day work of that post to be carried on otherwise, the
current charge of the duties of that post may be given temporarily, with the approval of the authority
competent to make appointments to the said post, to the senior most officer in the cadre present at the
place or in the organization where the vacancy may have occurred if he is otherwise fit and eligible for
promotion.

75
Guide Book for Drawing & Disbursing Officers

12.7.2 In Province Punjab instead of 20% pay on holding current charge appointment the temporary fixation of
pay to the pay scale of higher post is granted and pay of the employee is fixed just like promotion case by
allowing one pre-mature increment over and above the next stage as laid down in the S&GAD letter No.
SOR-I (S&GAD) 16-32/94. The period of current charge should not be more than one year and posting
of a regular officer should be made within one year.

(a) Appointment on Acting Charge Basis


In accordance with Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules a Civil Servant can not
be promoted on regular basis to posts carrying BS.18 to BS.21 before completion of prescribed length of

2 Posts in BPS-19 12 Years of Service in BS-17 and above
3 Posts in BPS-20 17 Years of Service in BS-17 and above
4 Posts in BPS-21 22 Years of Service in BS-17 and above

(promotions in BPS-22 from BPS-21 are made without any restriction of length of service when promotion
is required to be made against a vacancy for which all other conditions are fulfilled except length of service,
the appointment on acting charge basis would be allowed, instead of regular promotion, till the time the
incumbent complete the requisite length of service period subject to following conditions:

(a) The Civil Servant will assume full duties and responsibilities of the post and exercise all statutory administrative
and financial powers vested in the regular incumbent of the post.
(b) The pay of the Civil Servant in higher Pay Scale would be fixed just like regular promotion. The service
rendered on Acting Charge basis in the scale applicable to the post shall not count for purposes of drawl

on presumptive basis, as on 1st December.
(c) In the event of regularization of promotion, after completion of the prescribed length of service, no further
benefit in pay fixation is admissible.

a penalty of stoppage of 2 increments was imposed on 15th September, 2005 the employee would not earn
increment falling on 1st December, 2005, 1st December, 2006. On 1st December, 2007 the employee would

employee can not be fixed more than the maximum of the lower pay scale and personal pay is also not
permissible in such case of reversion due to disciplinary measures.
12.8.2 The major penalties of reduction to a lower rank/post or time scale or to lower stage in the grade can
also not be imposed permanently under FR-29. Such punishments should, therefore, be for a specific period.

16. PENSION RULES


(CSR, DDO Hand Book, Pension Compendium, Notification, Circular
issued by the FD)

The word 'Pension' means an allowance for retired servants. In official


terminology, Pension is a periodical payment made by Government on
consideration of past services rendered by a Government Servant.

General
• The appointing authority of the Civil Servant is the pension
sanctioning authority.
• In case of death, salary is admissible for the day of death and pension
becomes due from the following day.
• If the suspension is followed by reinstatement but period is not
decided, it will be treated as spent on duty.
• 2 percent additional benefit (up to 30th November 2001), of gross
pension, was also admissible for each extra year of qualifying service
put in after 30 years service subject to maximum of 10% of gross
pension.
• When a Government Servant is required to retire on attaining a
specific age, the day on which he attains that age is reckoned as a
non-working day and Government Servant must retire with effect
from and including that day.
(Art.14
• No pension is admissible to a Civil Servant who is dismissed or
removed from service for reasons of discipline, but Government
may sanction compensatory allowance to such a Civil Servant, not
exceeding 2/3 of the pension or gratuity which would have been
admissible to him had he been invalidated from service on the date
of such dismissal or removal.
• Further good conduct after retirement is an implied condition for
grant of pension. (Art 351-CSRs)
• If a Government Servant died before signing pension papers /
completion of pension payment case, his pension case would be
processed as per live cases i.e. commutation (35% of gross pension
& 65% net pension) and family pension will be converted on the
next day of death.

Calculation of Penson
Gross Pension = Emoluments X Scale of Pension, as per following table:

Commutation
A pensioner can opt to commute his pension up to:
o 50 percent (%) of his total gross pension up to 30th November 2001
o 40 percent for the period 1st December 2001 to 30th June 2005
o 35 percent from 1st July 2005

Calculation of amount of commutation


Commutation= Amount of Gross Pension (Max. 35%) X 12 X Rate of Commutation
Note: The commutation is not subject to any medical certificate if it is asked within one year from the
date of retirement. If commutation is applied after one year of retirement it becomes subject to medical
certificate. A Civil Servant who is retired on medical grounds is also entitled to commutation subject to
production of medical certificate even if it is asked for within one year from the date of retirement.
