PREFACE
Consequent on the recommendation of the 5th Pay Commission and
enhancement of Pay & Allowances of PBOR w.e.f. 1.1.96 & 10.10.97 (Pay) and
1.8.97(allowances), there was a growing need for a Compendium of Orders on Pay &
Allowances of PBOR, which can be consulted effortlessly for any clarification. Working
in that direction a PBOR Hand Book was published by CDA, Bangalore on 01.01.2001.
The 1st edition of the Hand Book received on overwhelming response from all the
users.
Thereafter, many Govt.Orders/Instructions were issued introducing ACP Scheme
for PBOR, revising the allowances, clarifying classification of trades, etc.
Shri Virendra Diwan, IDAS, CDA therefore, desired to publish an enlarged and revised
edition by incorporating the latest orders on P&A of PBOR. Accordingly under his able
guidance, a team of Officers & Staff of ORs Cell of CDA, Bangalore has made concerted
efforts in updating this revised and enlarged edition.
I gratefully acknowledge and thank Shri Virendra Diwan, IDAS, CDA for his
valuable advice and unstinted support for bringing out this 2nd enlarged & revised
edition. I am sure that this Hand Book will be of immense use to the department as
well as to the units/formations and PBOR.
I take this opportunity to compliment the Officers & Staff of ORs Cell of CDA
Bangalore, in particular Shri M.R.Krishna & Smt.Vidyavathi, AAOs, Smt.Valsamma. T.
Varghese and Shri L. Bheesma Sr. Auditors for their efforts in bringing out this edition.
I also place on record the enormous efforts made by Shri.G.B.R.Prasad,SAO
(Retd),Shri.Y.Babu,SAO(EDP),and Shri Reghunathan,AAO who brought out the 1st
edition.
The matter presented in this Hand Book is not an exact reproduction of the
rules & regulations as notified by the Govt. The contents of this book are only for

In pursuance of the recommendations of 5th Pay Commission, Rates
of Pay in respect of JCOs, (including Hon Commissioned Officers are

(including Hon Commissioned Officers)/ORs who were on the effective
strength of the Army as on 1.1.96.
The Salient features relating to the revision of pay of the above
categories of personnel are as under:
PAY GROUPS:
(a)
(b)
(c)
w.e.f. 1.1.86 existing 8 Pay Groups A to H
Regrouped to form new 5 Groups i.e., “A to E”
W.e.f. 1.1.96 common pay scales have been prescribed
for Group „C‟ and „D‟
Further w.e.f. 10.10.97 these A, B, C & D, E Groups have been
recategorised keeping in view their entry educational qualification in
relation to trade, combat and leadership skills as X, Y, Z.
For the Revised trade group‟s structure, the minimum entry qualification
would be:
(a) Combatant Gp “X”
All trades with Diploma
(b) Combatant Gp “Y”
All trades with Matric
(c) Combatant Gp “Z”
All trades with Non – Matric
The rank, group and the class to which he belongs determine the Pay of a
PBOR.

Basic Military training and Technical training and verification of
antecedents.
This will be carried out by OC Unit or by the OC of Training

Fixation of Initial Pay in the Revised Scales w.e.f. 1.1.96.
[Para 7 of SAI 1/S/98]
Fixation of pay in the revised scales is regulated as follows:
(a) 40% of Basic pay in the existing scale shall be added to the
existing emoluments of JCOs / NCOs/ORs as on 1.1.96.
For Pay fixation purpose, the “Existing Emoluments” means –
(i) The Basic Pay in the existing scale (ie, Basic Pay + Class Pay)
(ii DA appropriate to Basic Pay at the Index Average of 1510
(iii)The amount Interim Relief (1st and 2nd instal)
From the total of the above element, the existing rate of class pay
is deducted to arrive at “Existing Emoluments”.
After the existing emoluments have been arrived at, the pay shall
be fixed in the revised scale at the stage next above the amount so
arrived.
If the minimum of the Revised Scale w.e.f. 1.1.96 is more, the pay
will be fixed at the minimum of the Revised Scale.
If the amount arrived as above is more than the maximum of the
Revised Scale, the Pay will be fixed at maximum.
In this type of cases, the difference shall be allowed as personal
pay to be absorbed in future increases in Pay (Para 7 (f) of AI 1/S/98)
Date of Next Increment in the Revised Scale effective from
1.1.96.
(i)
The next increment of JCOs/NCO s/ORs whose pay is fixed in the
normal manner will be granted on the date he would have drawn his
increment, had he continued in the existing scale.
However, in the case of Bunching and stepping up cases the next
increment will be granted on completion of 12 months qualifying service
from the date on which his pay was stepped up in the revised scale.
[Authy: Para 9 of AI 1/S/98]
(ii) A JCO/NCO/OR drawing the maximum in the existing scale for more
than one year as on1st Jan 1996 shall be allowed the next increment in
the revised scale with effect from 1.1.1996.
[Authy: Para 11 of AI 1/S/98]
Transition to New Revised Scale w.e.f. 10.10.1997.
Personnel on the revised scale effective from 1.1.96 will transit on
to the new revised scales effective from 10.10.1997 at the same stage or
if no such stage is available in the stage, next above in the new revised
scale.
[Authy: Para 8 of AI 1/S/98]
„Hand Book on Pay & Allowances‟
6
Increment in respect of PBOR transit to new revised pay scale
effective from 10.10.1997.
In case of PBOR whose pay has been fixed at the same stage
consequent on bringing them to the new revised pay scale effective from
10.10.1997, the next increment will be granted on the normal date he is
entitled in the existing scale.
However, if the pay is fixed in the new revised pay scale at a next
above stage on 10.10.1997 the next increment shall be granted after 12
months qualifying service ie, from 1.10.1998 so on and so forth.
[Authy. Para 12 of AI 1/S/98]
Stepping up of pay of a senior if a junior promoted after 1.1.1996
draws more pay:
In cases where a Senior JCO/NCO/OR Promoted to a higher rank
before 1.1.1996 draws less pay in the revised pay scale than his Junior
belonging to the same pay groups (same trade and of the same Arm /
Service) promoted to the same higher rank after 1.1.1996, the pay of the
senior will be stepped up to the equal pay as fixed to his junior in the
higher rank.
The stepping up should be done w.e.f. the date of promotion of the
junior, subject to the following conditions.
(a)
Both Junior and Senior should belong to the same
Arm/Service. Trade and Rank to which promoted should be
identical.
(b)
The pre-revised and revised scales of pay of the lower and
higher ranks in which they are entitled to draw pay should
be identical.
(c)
The senior was not drawing less pay than the junior in the
lower rank in the pre-revised scale of pay.
(d)
The anomaly should be a direct result of the application of
Rule 25A of the Pay & Allce Regns for JCOs/Ors of the Army
1979 in fixation of pay on such promotion in the revised
scale. In such a case the next increment of the senior will
be drawn on completion of the required qualifying service
from the date of the stepping up of pay.
[Authy: Para 13 of AI 1/S/98]
Stepping up of the Pay in respect of the JCO/NCO/OR who are
brought to the new revised pay scales w.e.f. 10.10.1997.
The provisions (i.e., Para 13 of AI 1/S/98) of stepping up of pay of
a senior if a Junior promoted after 1.1.96 draws more pay is equally
applicable mutatis mutadis to the JCOs/NCOs/ORs who are brought to the
new revised pay scales w.e.f. 10.10.1997 as per Para 8 of AI 1/S/98.

ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION (ACP) SCHEME FOR PBOR
„Hand Book on Pay & Allowances‟
16
Effective w.e.f. 07.08.2003
Sepoys and equivalent will be granted first financial up-gradation in the
pay scale of NK and equivalent after completion of ten years of service.
The second financial up-gradation of ACP will come into effect to the scale of
Hav and equivalent on completion of twenty years of qualifying service.
The PBOR may exercise option within one month of grant of ACP for
fixation of his pay in the pay scale of Naik/Hav from the date of next increment
in the existing scale, that date is to be indicated in the Part II order under “TO
DATE” in col. 4.see- Appendix J format item 149 and 150.
Points to be seen while granting ACP Scheme.
1.ACP DO II effective from 7.8.2003.
2.First financial upgradation to NK Scale after completion of ten years of service
if no regular promotion granted during that period. Service is counted from the
Date of Enrolment. PBOR should have been attested.
3.Second financial up gradation to Hav Scale after completion of 20 years service
provided no regular promotions availed during the prescribed period.
4. If a PBOR already got one regular promotion, second financial up gradation is
due on completion of 20 years service, under the ACP Scheme.
5.If two regular promotions already granted during the 20 years of service, no
ACP is admissible.
6. PBOR already completed 20 years of service with or without a promotion,
second financial up gradation is admissible direct without the first ACP from the
date of issue of MOD letter, if other wise qualified.
Example:
Date of Enrolment
: 10.10.1980
Rank
: Sep
Second ACP date
: 07.08.2003 (Direct).
6. For PBOR already having service more than 10 years service but less than 20
years service on the date of issuee of MOD letter without a promotion, first
financial up gradation can be granted from the date of issue of MOD letter and
the surplus service beyond 10 years can be reckoned for the completion of next
ten years service for grant of second. In other words, the basic condition of
completion of ten years service from the date of first for the second is not
mandatory in this contingency.
Example:
Date of Enrolment : 10.10.1985.
Rank
: Sep
First ACP due
: 07.08.2003
Second ACP date : 10.10.2005.(i.e. without completion of 10 years
Service from the date of first ACP).
7. With the implementation of ACP for PBOR, Grant of TSNK will be limited to
those who are not covered by the ACP.
8.Although, placement in first ACP is not treated as a promotion, it is felt that the
appointment pay due to the PBOR (L/NK & TS L/NK) to be ceased on grant of
ACP.
„Hand Book on Pay & Allowances‟
17
8.If ACP is granted to a PBOR in the NK Scale of Pay and subsequently regular
promotion is granted to the same rank, then no further fixation of pay is due to
the PBOR, which means the promoted rank updation in the IRLA with date is a
formality.
9.In order to track the ACP promotion with the pay and allowances drawn, on
grant of first ACP, the paid acting rank field in the IRLA will be updated as
“ACPNK” for identification. The same procedure will be followed for second
financial up gradation and paid acting rank field will be up dated as “ACPHAV”.
In these cases if the regular promotions are received, then the Substantive rank
fields will be updated with respective rank as SBNK or as the case may be.
10.Fixation under ACP scheme is purely personal and hence no financial
upgradation is envisaged to set right the anomalies etc for senior personnel on
the ground that junior personnel in the rank got higher pay scale under the ACP
Scheme.
11.Although ACPNK and ACPHAV are not treated as ranks, the fixation of pay
and adjustment of Increments on these are to take place on par with the
promoted ranks and hence the structure available in the system to be modified
by including appropriate code values. This, it is proposed to be achieved by
allotting 29 for ACPNK and 39 for ACPHAV. This is necessary to handle grant
and cancellation of Promotions, ACPs, Increments and also re-drawal on receipt
of any old DOs II.
