The Judgment of the Court was delivered by
\nKULDIP\tSINGH, J.- Chander Bhan Gill (Gill)  joined  Central
\nGovernment service on 25-1-1985.  The Central Civil Services
\n(Revised  Pay)\tRules, 1986 (the Rules) came into  force  on
\n1-1-1986.   On\tcompletion of one year’s  service  Gill\t was
\ngranted annual increment in the existing scale\t(unrevised).
\nHis  claim for grant of annual increment in the revised\t pay
\nscale  was rejected by the Government.\tGill challenged\t the
\naction of the Government by way of an application before the
\nCentral Administrative Tribunal, Principal Bench, New  Delhi
\n(the  Tribunal).  The Tribunal by its judgment\tdated  13-4-
\n1992  dismissed\t the application.  This appeal\tby  Gill  is
\nagainst the judgment of the Tribunal.\n<\/p>\n
2.   We\t may notice the necessary facts.  Gill was  selected
\nfor  appointment as Assistant (Legal) in the  Department  of
\nLegal  Affairs, Ministry of Law and Justice,  Government  of
\nIndia.\t He joined the Ministry as such on 25-1-1985 in\t the
\npay  scale  of\t425-15-500-EB-15-560-20-700-EB-25-800.\t One
\nS.S.  Dhaiya  was also selected and appointed  as  Assistant
\n(Legal) along with the appellant.  He joined service on 4-3-
\n1985 in the same pay scale.\n<\/p>\n
3.   The  existing  pay\t scale for  the\t post  of  Assistant
\n(Legal)\t (425-800)  was revised\t to  1640-60-2600-EB-75-2900
\nunder  the Rules with effect from 1-1-1986.  Gill  completed
\none  year’s service on 26-1-1986 and became entitled to\t the
\ngrant  of  an  annual increment.   The\tshort  question\t for
\nconsideration is whether he was entitled to the increment in
\nthe  revised scale of pay (Rs 60) or in the unrevised  scale
\n(Rs 15).\n<\/p>\n
4.   The  Government of India Instructions contained in\t the
\noffice memorandum dated 7-1-1971 are as under:\n<\/p>\n
\t      “The  undersigned\t is  directed  to  invite  a
\n\t      reference\t on the recommendation of the  Third
\n\t      Pay Commission contained in para 29 of Chapter
\n\t      8\t in Volume I of their Report to\t the  effect
\n\t      that in future, an increment should be granted
\n\t      from  the 1st of the month in which  it  falls
\n\t      due  instead of from the actual date on  which
\n\t      it accrues, and to say that
\n\t      330<\/span>
\n\t      Government   have\t  accepted   the   aforesaid
\n\t      recommendation of the Commission vide Item No.
\n\t      5\t in the annexure appended to the  Resolution
\n\t      No. 70(34)-Imp.  Cell dated 1- 11- 1973.\t The
\n\t      sanction\tof  the\t President  is\t accordingly
\n\t      conveyed hereby to the increment of  employees
\n\t      being  admitted from the 1 St of the month  in
\n\t      which it would fall due under the operation of
\n\t      the   general  rules  and\t orders\t  regulating
\n\t      increments.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\t      2.    These  orders shall take effect from  11
\n\t      1-   1973\t  and  shall  cover   only   Central
\n\t      Government  employees in Classes 11,  III\t and
\n\t      IV.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
5. The Government of India issued office memorandum dated 4-
\n5-1987\ti wherein various clarifications in respect  of\t the
\nRules were given.  The clarification at Serial No. 1 of\t the
\nmemorandum, which is relevant, is as under:\n<\/p>\n
 ———————————————————-\n<\/p>\n
     \"SI.\t   Points raised     Clarifications\n     No.\n<\/pre>\n

———————————————————–\n<\/p>\n
     1.\t  In case of a government    Increment in the Pre-

\n\t  (RP) Rules 1986 latter or pay
\n\t  fixed in the revised scale
\n\t  first and increment allowed
\n\t  latter in the revised scale.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
     6.\t  The  appellant  completed one\t year’s\t service  on
\n26-1-1986  and\tas such an increment accrued to him  on\t the
\nsaid  date but keeping in view the  Government\tinstructions
\ndated  7-1-1971 he was to be given the increment  from\t1-1-
\n1986.\tRelying\t upon the clarification dated  4-5-1987\t the
\nGovernment  of India granted the increment to the  appellant
\nin  the\t pre-revised scale.  Rs 15 were added to  his  basic
\npre-revised pay of Rs 425 thereby making a total of Rs\t440.
\nAfter  doing the exercise of granting him increment  in\t the
\npre-revised scale he was given the revised pay scale and his
\nbasic pay on 1-1-1986 was fixed as Rs 1640.\n<\/p>\n
7.   It\t is not necessary for us to go into the question  as
\nto  whether the clarification dated 4-5-1987 is contrary  to
\nthe Rules.  The clarifications are, ordinarily, issued\twith
\na view to remove the anomalies in the working of the  Rules.
\nIn the facts of this case, however, the clarification has
\nrather\tcreated\t an  anomaly.\tWe  see\t no  logic  in\t the
\nclarification.\t It  is applicable only\t to  the  government
\nservants whose increment accrued on 1-1-1986.  All those who
\nearned the increment any time between 1-2-1986 to 31-12-1986
\nwere  given  the increment in the revised  scale.   Had\t the
\nappellant joined in the month of February 1985 or thereafter
\nhe  would have got the increment in the revised\t scale.\t  As
\nmentioned above S.S. Dhaiya was selected and appointed along
\nwith the appellant.  He joined on 4-3-1985 and was given his
\nannual\tincrement with effect from 1-3-1986 in\tthe  revised
\nscale.\tThe Government
\n331<\/span>
\naction\tbased  on  the\tclarification  dated  4-5-1987\t has
\nobviously worked to the detriment of the appellant.\n<\/p>\n
8.   We\t may examine the appellant’s claim under the  Rules.
\nRules 5, 6(3), 7 and 8 of the Rules, to the extent relevant,
\nare reproduced hereunder:\n<\/p>\n
\t      “5.   Drawal  of pay in the  revised  scales.-
\n\t      Save  as otherwise provided in these rules,  a
\n\t      government  servant  shall  draw\tpay  in\t the
\n\t      revised scale applicable to the post to  which
\n\t      he is appointed:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\t      Provided\tthat a government servant may  elect
\n\t      to continue to draw pay in the existing  scale
\n\t      until  the date on which he earns his next  or
\n\t      any subsequent increment in the existing scale
\n\t      or until he vacates his post or ceases to draw
\n\t      pay in that scale ….\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\t      6.    Exercise of option.-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
(3)  If\t the  intimation regarding option  is  not  received
\nwithin\tthe time mentioned in sub-rule (1),  the  government
\nservant\t shall be deemed to have elected to be\tgoverned  by
\nthe revised scale of pay with effect on and from the 1st day
\nof January, 1986.\n<\/p>\n
7.   Fixation of initial pay in the revised scale.- (1)\t The
\ninitial pay of a government servant who elects, or is deemed
\nto have elected under sub-rule (3) of Rule 6 to be  governed
\nby  the\t revised scale on and from the 1st day\tof  January,
\n1986,  shall,  unless in any case the President\t by  special
\norder  otherwise directs, be fixed separately in respect  of
\nhis substantive pay in the permanent post on which he  holds
\na  lien\t or  would  have held a lien  if  it  had  not\tbeen
\nsuspended, and in respect of his pay in the officiating post
\nheld by him, in the following manner, namely-\n<\/p>\n
\t      (A)   in the case of employees,-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\t      (i)   an\tamount representing 20 per  cent  of
\n\t      the  basic pay in the existing scale,  subject
\n\t      to  a minimum of Rs 75, shall be added to\t the
\n\t      ‘existing emoluments’ of the employee;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\t      (ii)  after the existing emoluments have\tbeen
\n\t      so  increased,  the pay  shall  thereafter  be
\n\t      fixed  in the revised scale at the stage\tnext
\n\t      above the amount thus computed:
\n\t      Provided that,-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\t      (a)   if\tthe minimum of the revised scale  is
\n\t      more  than the amount so arrived at,  the\t pay
\n\t      shall  be fixed at the minimum of the  revised
\n\t      scale;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\t      (b)   if the amount so arrived at is more than
\n\t      the  maximum  of the revised  scale,  the\t pay
\n\t      shall be fixed at the maximum of that scale.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
8.   Date of next increment in the revised scale.- The\tnext
\nincrement  of a government servant whose pay has been  fixed
\nin the revised scale in accordance with sub-rule (1) of Rule
\n7  shall  be  granted on the date he would  have  drawn\t his
\nincrement had he continued in the existing scale:\n<\/p>\n
332<\/span><\/p>\n
9.   It is not disputed that the appellant did not give\t any
\noption under Rule 5 of the Rules and as such under Rule 6(3)
\nhe became entitled to the revised scale of pay “with  effect
\non  and\t from  the 1st day of  January,\t 1986”.\t  Since\t the
\nminimum of the revised scale of the appellant was more\tthan
\nthe  amount worked out under Rule 7(1)(A)(i)(ii)  he  became
\nentitled under Rule 7(1)(A)(a) to be fixed at the minimum of
\nthe revised scale.  It is clear from the combined reading of
\nRules  6 and 7 of the Rules that the appellant was  entitled
\nto  be\tfixed at Rs 1640 as his basic pay with\teffect\tfrom
\n1-1-1986 in the revised scale.\tThe pre-revised scale ceased
\nto operate on 31-12-1985.  Rule 8 of the Rules clearly\tlays
\ndown that “the next increment of a government servant  whose
\npay  has been fixed in the revised scale in accordance\twith
\nsub-rule (1) of Rule 7 shall be granted on the date he would
\nhave  drawn his increment, had he continued in the  existing
\nscale”.\t  The language of the rule makes it clear  that\t the
\nappellant,  whose annual increment became due  on  1-1-1986,
\nwas  entitled  to  the grant of the said  increment  in\t the
\nrevised pay scale.  We are, therefore, of the view that\t the
\nappellant-Gill\twas  entitled  to  the grant  of  Rs  60  as
\nincrement with effect from 1-1-1986 and his basic pay in the
\nrevised\t scale\tshould have been fixed at Rs 1700  from\t 11-
\n1986.\n<\/p>\n
10.  We\t allow the appeal and set aside the judgment of\t the
\nTribunal.  We allow the application filed by Gill before the
\nTribunal  in the above terms.  We direct the respondents  to
\nfix the pay of the appellant as Rs 1700 with effect from  11\n<\/p>\n
–  1986 and give him all the consequential  benefits.\tThis
\nshould\tbe  done within three months from the  date  of\t the
\nreceipt\t of this judgment.  The appellant shall be  entitled
\nto his costs which we quantify as Rs 10,000.\n<\/p>\n
