However, the employees wishing to apply and appear for such Examination(s) will be required to take prior approval of the Competent Authority. Such permission will ordinarily not be withheld for identical and superior level posts. In the case of employees under bond wishing to join other Public Undertakings, the existing policy will continue. 15.4 It is clarified that the recovery of the bond amount and notice period pay in the case of employees under bond who resign should be regulated as follows: Both the bond amount and the notice period pay need not be recovered and only the greater of the two may be recovered, i.e., the amount payable as bond money or the pay for the notice period whichever is greater, only may be recovered. This will be applicable in cases of employees under bond for training within the country and those who are under study leave bond. In the case of employees under study leave bond, this will be applicable even if they submit their resignations without returning from study leave. This dispensation will however not apply in case of employees who are under bond for training abroad at Company's expenses.

If the employees have not availed any service benefit during the study leave period the resignation may be treated w.e.f. the date of proceeding on study leave, subject to remitting the notice period pay under extant rules.

2.1.6Ban on de-reservation in Direct Recruitment Where sufficient number of candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC are not available to fill up the posts reserved for them in direct recruitment, the vacancies shall not be filled by candidates not belonging to these communities. In other words, there will be a ban on de-reservation in direct recruitment If posts reserved for SC/ST can not be filled up and are carried forward as ‘backlog’ vacancies and remain unfilled for three successive recruitment years, the post earmarked for SC could be filled by ST candidate or vice versa in all subsequent attempts, if suitable candidates belonging to the category for which the vacancy is reserved is not available. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, in rare and exceptional cases of direct recruitment to Group ‘A’ posts where the vacancy cannot be allowed to remain unfilled in public interest, de-reservation of such reserved vacancies may be permitted with the approval of the Cabinet Minister in-charge of the administrative Ministry, on the recommendation of the Board of Directors. Further, if due to non-availability of suitable technically qualified SC/ST candidates even with relaxed standards, a reserved post in Group B and C, technical posts cannot be filled with SC/ST candidates and the post cannot be allowed to remain vacant due to the resultant adverse impact on the operations of the public enterprises, de-reservation of such reserved vacancies may be permitted with the prior approval of the Board of Directors. However, even in such cases where de-reservation may be resorted to, the interests of SC/ST will be taken care of by carry forward and exchange as here in before. to Section

4.1 Promotion from one Group/Cadre to another Group/Cadre

Section-B Section-C Section-D Volume-II Section-E Section-F Search E-Mail Home

Guidelines and Principles

Promotion from one Group/Cadre to another Group/Cadre is on the basis of merit as assessed through a selection process which may include an appraisal of performance and test/interview designed to determine the employees' skill, aptitude and abilities for effective functioning in the higher group/cadre. Employees are eligible for consideration for promotion to the higher group/cadre on completion of a specified number of years of service (to be referred to hereinafter as eligibility period) in the lower group/cadre, subject to organisational needs. This eligibility period will be notified by the Management from time to time keeping in view the requirements of the organisation. 4.2 Promotion within a Group/Cadre Employees are eligible for consideration for promotion from a lower grade to the next higher grade within the same group/cadre on completion of the number of years of service prescribed in the lower grade (to be referred to hereinafter as the 'qualifying period') and attainment of satisfactory standards in conduct and performance. The 'qualifying period' for promotion within a group will be notified by the Management from time to time keeping in view the requirements of the organisation. Employees promoted to or within the Supervisory Cadre or to/within the Executive Cadre upto E5 grade will be on probation for a period of one year. On satisfactory completion of probation such employees will be confirmed in the new grade. The Competent Authority for declaring successful completion of probation is ED/GM (in charge of the Division)/GM(P&A)/AGM (Head of Division) 4.3 'Fast Track' Promotions With a view to rewarding employees for sustained outstanding performance, and in order to provide motivation to them for further improvement, accelerated promotions are considered for eligible employees on completion of a specified period of service as may be prescribed for this purpose for each grade. The number of employees promoted under this clause, however, is generally limited to 10% of the total number of employees eligible for such promotions as the basic idea is to spot the best performers on work. 4.4 It may not be possible to ensure advancement/career prospects beyond a certain point for employees who either do not possess the requisite qualifications/skill needed for the higher post or are held up for want of requirements in the higher groups/cadre. Such cases are reviewed and employees are considered for the higher grade on completion of 10 years good and effective service provided their conduct and performance are otherwise satisfactory. This is normally not applicable to the position of E5 i.e. the Sr. Manager's grade and above.

4.5 There may be a certain percentage of employees who do not qualify for promotion under any of clauses provided above. These are so due to their consistently 'poor' performance and/or other reasons. Such employees treated under the category 'Drop-outs' are not eligible for promotion until there is recorded improvement in their overall performance and conduct. 5.

Section-F

Channels of Promotion Promotion of an employee means his movement from a post in a lower grade to a post in the next higher grade along with respective promotion channels specified for the purpose. The channels of promotion for the non-executive cadre are shown in the enclosed Annexure I&Annexure II.

6.

Rules and Procedures Promotions will be considered by Departmental Promotion Committees (DPCs) to be constituted at the Unit level for various grades falling under the purview of the Unit Management. The criteria adopted by the DPC for considering promotions will broadly include factors such as qualifications, experience, performance, general suitability and potential for higher responsibility. In case of promotion from Supervisory cadre to Executive cadre, the Selection Committee should include a Central Selection Board Member on it. Vigilance clearance should be obtained in respect of all employees, who are in the zone of consideration, before considering them for promotion. The promotion cases of eligible employees who are transferred after 31st March and before June, will be considered by the previous unit, if due for promotion, during that year. The recommendations of the DPC will be communicated to the latter unit for issue of orders.

7.

Preference for SC/ST The Government of India orders issued from time to time relating to reservations for SC/ST candidates will be observed in so far as these are applicable in the context of BHEL Promotion Policy.

8.

Seniority Seniority as between personnel promoted on the same date shall be determined in accordance with the order of merit drawn up by the Departmental Promotion Committee and approved by the competent authority.

9.

Representations from employees regarding Non-Selection or Super-session An attempt is always made by the Divisional/Departmental Head to explain to an employee the reasons for his non-selection so that the employee has an opportunity to make up his deficiencies in the relevant area. If the employee still has a grievance he may submit a representation to the competent authority through

proper channel. to Section

Promotion of Employees whose conduct is under investigation

11.1 Cases of Employees to whom sealed cover procedure will be applicable at the time of consideration of the cases for promotion, details of employees in the consideration zone for promotion falling under the following categories should be specifically brought to the notice of the Departmental Promotion Committee: - i) Employees under suspension. ii) Employees in respect of whom a charge-sheet has been issued and disciplinary proceedings are pending.iii) Employees in respect of whom prosecution for a criminal charge is pending. 11.2 The Departmental Promotion Committee shall assess the suitability of the employees coming within the purview of the circumstances mentioned above along with other eligible candidates without taking into consideration the disciplinary case/criminal prosecution pending. The assessment of the DPC, including 'Unfit for Promotion', and the grading awarded by it will be kept in a sealed cover. The cover will be superscribed "Findings regarding suitability for promotion to the grade/post of.................................in respect of Shri............................. Staff No...........................(name of the employee and Staff No.). Not to be opened till the termination of the disciplinary case/criminal prosecution against Shri..................................." The proceedings of the DPC need only contain the note "The findings are contained in the attached sealed cover." 11.3 The same procedure outlined in the above Para will be followed by the subsequent Departmental Promotion Committees convened till the disciplinary case/criminal prosecution against the employee concerned is concluded. to Section

11.4 On the conclusion of the disciplinary case/criminal prosecution, which results in dropping of allegations against the employee, the sealed cover or covers shall be opened. In case the employee is completely exonerated, the due date of his promotion will be determined with reference to the position assigned to him in the findings kept in the sealed cover/covers. However, whether the employee concerned will be entitled to any arrears of pay for the period of notional promotion preceding the date of actual promotion, and if so to what extent, will be decided by the Disciplinary Authority by taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances of the disciplinary proceeding/criminal prosecution. Where the Authority denies arrears of salary or part of it, it will record its reasons for doing so. It is not possible to anticipate and enumerate exhaustively all the circumstances under which such denials of arrears of salary or part of it may become necessary. However, there may be cases where the proceedings, whether disciplinary or criminal, are, for example delayed at the instance of the employee or the clearance in the disciplinary proceedings or acquittal in the criminal proceedings is with benefit of doubt or on account of non-availability of evidence due to the acts attributable to the employee etc. These are only some of the circumstances where such denial can be justified. 11.5 If any penalty is imposed on the employee as a result of the disciplinary proceedings or if he is found guilty in the criminal prosecution against him, the findings of the sealed cover/covers shall not be acted upon. His case for promotion may be considered by the next DPC in the normal course and having regard to the penalty imposed on him. 11.6 It is also clarified that in a case where disciplinary proceedings have been held under the relevant disciplinary rules, 'warning' should not be issued as a result of such proceedings. If it is found, as a result of the proceedings, that some blame attached to the employee, at-least the penalty of Censure should be imposed. 11.7 It is necessary to ensure that the disciplinary case/criminal prosecution instituted against an employee is not unduly prolonged and all efforts to finalise expeditiously the proceedings should be taken so that the need for keeping the case of employee in a sealed cover is limited to the barest minimum. It has, therefore, been decided that the authorities concerned should review comprehensively the cases of employees, whose suitability for promotion to a higher grade has been kept in a sealed cover on the expiry of 6 months from the date of convening the first Departmental Promotion Committee, which had adjudged his suitability and kept its findings in the sealed cover. Such a review should be done subsequently also every six months. The review should, inter alia, cover the progress made in the disciplinary proceedings/criminal prosecution and further measures to be taken to expedite their completion. 11.8 In spite of the six monthly review referred to in Para 7 above, there may be some cases, where the disciplinary case/criminal

prosecution against the employee are not concluded even after the expiry of two years from the date of the meeting of the first DPC, which kept its findings in respect of the employee in a sealed cover. In such a situation the competent authority may review the case of the employee, provided he is not under suspension, to consider the desirability of giving him ad hoc promotion keeping in view the following aspects :

Whether the promotion of the employee will be against public interest.

b)

Whether the charges are grave enough to warrant continued denial of promotion;

c)

Whether there is not likelihood of the case coming to a conclusion in the near future;

d)

Whether the delay in the finalisation of proceedings, departmental or in a court of law is not directly or indirectly attributable to the employee concerned;

e)

Whether there is any likelihood of misuse of official position, which the employee may occupy after ad hoc promotion, which may adversely affect the conduct of the departmental case/criminal prosecution.

The competent authority should also consult the Central Bureau of Investigation and take their views into account where the departmental proceedings or criminal prosecution have risen out of the investigations conducted by the Bureau. 11.8.1 In case the competent authority comes to a conclusion that it would not be against the public interest to allow ad-hoc promotion to the employee, his case should be placed before the next DPC held in the normal course after the expiry of the two year period to decide whether the officer is suitable for promotion on ad-hoc basis. Where the employee is considered for ad-hoc promotion, the Departmental Promotion Committee should make its assessment on the basis of the suitability of the individual's record of service without taking into account the pending disciplinary case/criminal prosecution against him. 11.8.2 After a decision is taken to promote an employee on an adhoc basis, an order of promotion may be issued making it clear in the order itself that:i)

The promotion is being made on purely ad-hoc basis and the ad hoc promotion will not confer any right for regular promotion; and

ii)

The promotion shall be 'until further orders'. It should also be indicated in the orders that the Company reserves the right to cancel the ad-hoc promotion and revert at any time the employee to the post from which he was promoted.

11.8.3 If the employee concerned is acquitted in the criminal prosecution on the merits of the case or is fully exonerated in the departmental proceedings, the ad hoc promotion already made if any be confirmed and the promotion treated as a regular one from the date of the ad-hoc promotion with all attendant benefits. In case the employee could have normally got his regular promotion from a date prior to the date of his ad-hoc promotion with reference to his placement in the DPC proceedings kept in the sealed cover(s), he would also be allowed his due seniority and benefit of notional promotion as

envisaged in Para 4 above. to Section

11.8.4 If the employee is not acquitted on merits in the criminal prosecution but purely on technical grounds and the Company further proposes to take up the matter to a higher court or to proceed against him departmentally or if the employee is not exonerated in the departmental proceedings, the ad-hoc promotion granted to him should be brought to an end. 12.

Keeping in view the changes in internal conditions and external environment, the Company may at any time and at its discretion, make any changes in the promotion policy and the rules as stated herein if it is satisfied that such changes are necessary in the overall interest of the organisation. to Section

A:5 TRANSFER POLICY AND BENEFITS

Section-A

1.

Section-B

Policy Every employee of the Company is liable for transfer from one Department/Section/Job within the same Unit/Division or from one Unit/Division of the Company to another or from the Company to any other Government Department/Public Sector Undertaking as and when required by the Company at the discretion of the Management. Such transferees are eligible, unless otherwise stated, for the following benefits subject to the conditions stated hereunder: Note:

Section-C Section-D Volume-II Section-E Section-F Search E-Mail Home

2.

While implementing the Transfer Policy the career based Promotion Policy has also to be reckoned with. Though the promotions are required to be made subject to Organisational needs, the same is not fully co-related to the vacancies existing. For business considerations and for Administrative exigencies, grouping and re-grouping of activities are undertaken. Stresses and emphasis are applied on a year to year basis in consideration of the targeted performance levels. It has been experienced that the number of employees promoted to a particular grade far exceeds the turnover of employees in that particular grade. The career growth promotion policy entitling the employee for consideration for promotion to the next higher grade after putting prescribed minimum period of service without regard to the vacancies arising or immediately anticipated has resulted an addition to the strength of the employees in the levels promoted. In order to suitably place all thus promoted in the higher grades in commensurate positions, it may become necessary to create new departments/sections and also to upgrade certain posts. The horizontal transfer does not involve alteration of status e.g. DGM would remain a DGM irrespective of the place of posting and the power, privileges, scale of pay that the DGM post has, is carried to the new post along with him. But it is not possible at all times to ensure that the executive powers and the amplitude of the jobs at the two places remain same due to the nature of our activities and dynamism. Posting and transfers are reviewed in the Company from time to time and it is a matter for the Company to decide in meeting the organizational needs. Hence, it should be possible to upgrade/downgrade posts and to post people suitably. Horizontal Transfer

Unless selected for a higher position, the transfer of an employee is made in the same grade and pay as held at the time of transfer (hereinafter referred to as 'horizontal transfer'). Such employees who are horizontally transferred are entitled to the following benefits: 2.1 The employee is entitled to one month's basic pay as advance (recoverable in three installments) and baggage allowance, transfer grant, disturbance allowance etc. as admissible under the TA Rules of the Company. to Section

2.2 The employee is entitled to carry forward the leave to his credit, if any, at the time of transfer. 2.3 Service already rendered by the employee in the Company at the time of transfer is counted for purposes of gratuity, provident fund etc. 2.4 The employee is entitled to payment of bonus at the rate applicable to identical employees in the Unit/Division to which he is transferred provided that the rate of bonus which an employee is eligible in the unit from which he is transferred out will be protected on his transfer and he will be compensated to the extent of difference between the bonus drawn by him in the latter unit and that admissible to the employees of the identical categories in the parent unit. This dispensation is admissible only if the employee has put in a minimum of two years of service on the date of transfer in the unit where higher rate of bonus is payable and his transfer is not consequent on his having been selected for the higher post in the new unit. The concession, will however, be discontinued when the rate of bonus admissible in his existing unit becomes equal to or higher than that admissible to identical categories in the parent unit. The protection will be only of the rate of bonus the employee was actually drawing at the time of transfer. 2.5 Subject to the provisions of Para 9 of this chapter, the employee is entitled to protection of his seniority held at the time of his transfer. 2.6 (a) Employees who are occupying Company accommodation/ leased accommodation at the place of their parent Unit are allowed to retain such accommodation for a maximum period of three months from the date of relief, provided such accommodation is retained for the bonafide use of the family (wife and children only) .

Permission beyond this period of one year would be given in exceptional circumstances with the approval of Director (HR) only, after being duly recommended by the Head of Unit to which the employee has been transferred. Once approval has been so given, the payment of lease rent may continue to be done by the earlier Division for the sake of ease and continuity and amount debited to the new Unit. In case the employee who has been transferred wishes to retain accommodation in Company's township at the earlier location, then in such cases also permission will be given by the Head of the Unit at the new location, but in consultation with the Head of Unit / Competent Authority at the previous location where the employee was earlier

posted. ( vide Corporate HR circular No.027/WLX/2005 dated 17/06/2005) (c ) In cases where no such permission is granted and the accommodation provided by the Company has not been vacated by the maximum period of three months as provided herein, then market rent/penal rent will be charged and/or admissibility of HRA in the new place will be reviewed. (d) The Head of Unit at the new location may also allot suitable Company accommodation (other than Guest House Accommodation) as Transitory Accommodation at the new location for the stay of such employees beyond the initial period of 3 months after transfer. Such transitory accommodation could also be shared accommodation. For such accommodation, double the applicable license fee will be recovered in case the said accommodation is allotted on individual basis .In case of allotment on shared basis single license fee as applicable will be recovered from each of the employees. In addition, for the accommodation retained at the earlier location, applicable license fee will be recovered. (e) The period of stay by an employee on transfer in the Company Guest House or Transit Flat at that particular location shall not exceed 90 (ninety) days in any manner i.e. in continuation or with breaks. In case of 'Unit Head' this condition can be relaxed with the specific approval of CMD. As far as possible Head of unit/ ED should also shift to the house earmarked for him after the period of three months. In case the Head of unit/ED opts to continue to stay in the Company�s Guest House after obtaining due approval of CMD, then for the period of stay, double the license fee as applicable to his entitled quarter at that location will be charged.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM Sub: Fixation of flat rate of license fee for residential accommodation under Central Government all over the country Recommendations of the Fourth Pay commission. In para 14.32 of the Report of the Fourth Pay commission (Part - I) , the Commission has made the following recommendations relating to charging of license fee for Government accommodation allotted to employees:Under the existing rules, the rent for Government accommodation other than hostel accommodation is recovered at 10% of emoluments (basic pay plus dearness pay upto 320 points CPI) or standard rent of the house, whichever is less. In the case of employees in receipt of pay below Rs.300/- the recovery is made at 7.5% of emoluments or standard rent whichever is less. Thus, considerable accounting work is required for calculating rent in each case. This also leads to disparities in recovery of rent among comparable employees in occupation of the same type of accommodation in different stations, and in different localities at the same station. We are of the view that rent for the Government accommodation should be recovered at a flat rate with reference to the type of accommodation allotted to the employees and the rate should be uniformly applicable throughout India. This will not only dispense with avoidable accounting work but will also bring about uniformity in rent recovery from the employees for the same type of accommodation in all places. We recommend that Government may examine the matter and take a decision. 2

The matter relating to fixation of flat rate of license fee for Government accommodation has been considered by Government and the recommendation of the Fourth Pay Commission for fixation of flat rate of license fee for residential accommodation all over the country has been accepted. The relevant provisions of the Fundamental Rules and the Supplementary Rules have also been amended for the purpose of fixation/recovery of flat rate of license fee and for its revision every three years. Copies of the notifications published in the Gazette of India amending FR-45A and SR-324 are enclosed (Annexure - I&Annexure - II).

3

In terms of GFR-45-A-IV(C)(ii) , it has been decided by the Central Government to prescribe flat rates of license fee for the residential accommodation available in general pool and also under various Ministries/Departments of Government of India all over the country (except in respect of sub-standard/

unclassified accommodation of Ministry of Defence, accommodation for service personnel/Officer of Ministry of to Section

Defence and accommodation under the control of the Ministry of Railways). The flat rate of license fee for different types of accommodation fixed by Government is indicated in the statement attached with this O.M. (Annexure -III). The formula for calculating the living area of the accommodation is indicated in Annexure-IV. For common services/ conservancy and for fire tax and scavenging tax payable for residences, no additional charges are to be recovered. The flat rate of licence fee is to be recovered with effect from 1.7.87 i.e. from the salary for the month of July,1987. This is in partial modification of the date of effect communicated in this Ministry's Confidential O.M. of even number dated the Ist June,1987.

4.

It has also been decided that no additions/alterations of structural character may be carried out in residences at the request of the allottees. Such additions/alterations, if considered necessary, may be carried out in all similar residences in a standardised manner and no additional licence fee or charges may be recovered from the allottees for such additions/alterations.

5.

Normally, water and electricity charges are payable by the allottees to the local bodies. Where, however, such charges cannot be recovered from the allottees due to non-availability of separate motors etc., this will continue to be recovered by the Government from the allottees. Similarly, charges on account of issue of furniture, electrical appliances, air conditioning appliances etc., would also be recovered from the allottees, if issued.

6.

The living area of the quarters indicated in Annexure III has been assessed on the basis of the living area of the bulk of general pool quarters as these quarters have been constructed over a long period of time. However, there may be cases, where the living area of the quarters may be slightly less than the minimum specified or the relevant type or slightly more than the maximum specified. In such cases, license fee may be recovered on the basis of the classification of the types of accommodation and based on the lowest or highest rates depending on the lower living area or higher living area of the quarter and in such cases, the license fee may be fixed on a provisional basis and such anomalies brought to the notice of the Directorate of Estates indicating the type of accommodation, plinth area, living area, year of construction and number of rooms available etc., so that such cases can be considered and decision taken.

It is requested that immediate action may please be taken to recover license fee in accordance with these orders in respect of accommodation under the control of various Ministries/Departments all over the country. Sd/(I.Chaudhury) Joint Secretary to the Govt. of India.

PAY FIXATION RULES

1.

These rules may be called BHEL Pay Fixation Rules.

2.

Pay on initial Appointment The initial (basic) pay of an employee appointed to a post will be fixed normally at the minimum of the time scale of the post to which he is appointed. Exceptions to this rule are given in Annexure -I. Higher initial pay may, however, be granted at the discretion of the Management in deserving cases.

Section-D Volume-II Section-E Section-F Search E-Mail Home

3.

Pay fixation on Promotion On promotion to a higher post/grade, the initial pay of an employee in the new time scale shall be fixed at the stage next above the pay notionally arrived at by increasing his pay in respect of the lower post by one increment. In case this happens to be lower than the minimum of the scale, the pay may be fixed at the minimum of the scale. The first increment will be drawn after completion of 12 months service from the date of such fixation of pay and subsequent increments will be preponed to one of the standard dates as per rules. If an employee is drawing pay at the maximum of the scale and is promoted, his pay will be increased notionally by adding one increment (last increment in the existing scale) and then fixed at the next above stage in the higher scale. In case an employee in receipt of Stagnation Increment(s) is promoted to the next higher grade, he/she would be entitled to One Notional Increment (3%) on his Basic Pay + Stagnation Increment(s), if any, and pay would be fixed (rounded off to the next Rupees Ten) in the promoted scale. However, on promotion, the pay so fixed shall not exceed the maximum of the scale to which the employee is promoted. In case his/her pay so arrived at is less than the minimum of the promoted scale, he/she would be entitled to get the minimum of the scale. The above will be made effective for promotions effective from June, 2011. Note:(1) The rule may be applied irrespective of the period of service in the lower grade and the grades of the posts.

Section-A Section-B

Treatment of Special Pay/Personal Pay on Promotion Where special pay has been given in lieu of higher grade, it should be taken into account for the purpose of fixation of pay. Special pay which is granted as an incentive for specific purposes under the Company Rules (other than Family Planning) and which forms part of basic pay under these rules is also similarly taken into account for the purpose of fixation of pay on promotion subject to rules prescribed there for. In other cases, pay including special pay and personal pay may be protected and personal pay, where necessary, granted in the higher post to be absorbed in future increments.

Drawal of Increment

5.1 Annual increment will be drawn in a time scale on completion of one year's satisfactory service. It shall ordinarily be drawn as a matter of course unless withheld by a specific order in writing to that effect. 5.2 No increment will be allowed during period of probation. The first increment will be drawn with effect from the date of completion of probation or on the anniversary date of joining the post, whichever is later. All subsequent increments will, however, be given on the standard date determined with reference to the anniversary date of joining. Where the period of probation is extended, no increment will be given till the probation is successfully completed. The increment will, however, be given with retrospective effect from the date of completion of 12 months of service in the post although no arrears would be paid on that account. Subsequent increments will be regulated from the standard date in accordance with the principles stated above. 5.3 On Promotion to higher grade or where no probation is stipulated in case of initial appointment The first increment on promotion/appointment shall be allowed to be drawn on completion of one year in the grade. All subsequent increments will, however, be given on the standard date determined with reference to the anniversary date of promotion/appointment. to Section

5.4 The date of increment will not be changed due to an employee being on authorised leave (full pay/half pay) of any kind or on Company sponsorship for higher studies or availing joining time on transfer. Monetary benefit of increment falling due during such period will also accrue from the due date. (Vide Corporate HR circular No 066/PPX/2005 dated 22/12/2005) 5.5 Leave without pay exceeding 6 months if it is not on medical grounds, period of suspension where the orders of disciplinary authority state so, period of overstayal of sanctioned leave, period of over- stayal of joining time and period of study leave where the employee is allowed to rejoin duty without successfully completing the course of study for which leave was granted will not count for increment. 5.6 The standard date of drawal of increment will be 25th June/25th December. 6.

Removal of anomalies in Pay Fixation

6.1

Where an employee promoted to a post draws a lower rate of pay in that post than another employee promoted subsequently to the same or identical higher post, the pay of the senior employee, in the higher post, should be stepped up to a figure equal to the pay fixed for the junior employee in that higher post. This should be done with effect from the date of promotion of the junior employee and will be subject to the following conditions: (a)

Both the junior and the senior employees should belong to the same cadre (line of promotion) and the posts in which they have been promoted should be identical and in the same discipline/channel of promotion.

(b)

The scales of the lower and the higher posts in which they are entitled to draw pay should be same.

(c)

The anomaly should have arisen directly as a result of the application of normal pay fixation rules. If in the lower post a junior employee drew a higher rate of pay than a senior by virtue of grant of advance incentive increments, provisions contained in these rules will not be invoked to step up the pay of the senior employee.

(d)

The employee whose pay is to be stepped up should be senior in the higher grade and should not be junior in the lower grade.

(e)

Comparison of pay has to be made first in the lower post when an anomaly arises in the higher post. A notional figure for the senior employee is to be arrived at in the lower post and then compared with the junior in the lower grade just before the promotion. The benefit of stepping up can be allowed to the senior employee only if he was not drawing or would not have drawn less pay in the lower post than the junior. to Section

Note:

1. For the purpose of rectification of pay anomaly the principle of seniority of the employee has to be first satisfied which presupposes that the two employees should belong to the same unit and function/discipline. It cannot be extended to cover inter-unit comparisons. 2. The pay anomaly, if any on "redesignation" of a DGM (E6) as a Sr. DGM (E6A) will be rectified in accordance with the above Rule.

6.2 In respect of employee going into certain apprenticeship or training by positive selection with a view to being considered for a higher post or otherwise, his notional progress in the original post and scale has to be proforma protected vis-�-vis his juniors who have not been so selected. This will be done till the senior selected for such apprenticeship or training is appointed in a different post pursuant to such apprenticeship or training. In case he reverts to his original post he should then be restored to his original position. 6.3 In cases where the pay has been stepped up under the above rule, the first annual increment subsequent to the date on which pay is so stepped up, be drawn only after the completion of one year's service from the date of such stepping up and not from the original date of increment. Subsequent increments will be governed by the normal rules of preponement. 7. Employees on Deputation. 7.1 Government servants on deputation to BHEL will have the option of either getting their pay fixed in the Deputation Post or to draw pay in their parent department scale plus deputation (duty) allowance in accordance with the Government Orders as amended from time to time. 7.2 Deputation to top posts in BHEL will be governed by the orders issued by Government from time to time. 7.3 Rules relating to the pay fixation of the deputationists absorbed in the Company or those who joined the Company from the Central Government on immediate absorption basis, the treatment of their PDA etc., will be regulated as per the orders of Corporate Office. 7.4 Detailed rules governing deputations and normal standard deputation terms as prescribed by GOI will form part of the Handbook of Deputation which will be brought out separately. to Section

Pay protection initially granted, shall not be granted any further, based on comparison drawn with the notional pay progression of the employee in his parent organization. (Vide Corporate HR IOM AA/HR/IR/521 dated 20.8.10)

9.

Reversion to lower grade/post on disciplinary grounds

9.1

In case of reversion of an employee from higher grade/post to a lower grade/post, the fixation of pay will be done in the manner decided by the authority ordering such reversion and based on Government rules framed from time to time.

9.2

These rules inter-alia, provide that the disciplinary authority may allow the concerned employee to draw any pay not exceeding the maximum of the lower grade or post which it may think proper; provided that the pay so allowed to be drawn should not exceed the pay that would have been fixed by counting the service rendered in higher grade or post as service in the lower grade or post.

10.

Miscellaneous

10.1 In the case of employees who are given alternative appointment due to medical disqualification, the pay last drawn by them should be protected subject to the condition that it should not exceed the maximum of the scale applicable to the post to which they are appointed on medical advice. 10.2 No charge allowance will be paid for holding additional charge of higher or equivalent post. to Section
