Dear Ashim
You are not eligible for fixation of pay on 01-01-2006 in the grade of STA. However there is some ambiguity regarding the re-option that can be exercised at the time of promotion as OS as some ZAOs are demanding specific order permitting the re-option.

I got promotion to the post O.S. on 06.06.2006 and pay fixed on 06.06.2006.As Sr.T.A my date of increment was in the month of July. Am I eligible for, employees for whom increment of pay in pre-revised scale had fallen due from February 2006 to June 2006 and eligible for one time increment as on 01.01.2006 in the pre-revised pay scale.
The Union has not only taken the pain to pursue the matter with the competent authority, but also got the issue resolved in a positive note. I really appreciated it.
