JAMMU, Feb 4: It has been brought to the notice of Finance Department that the Pay and Advance increments of Junior Engineers are not regulated correctly in various departments. The Junior Engineers even after issuance of Government Order No: 296-F of 2010 dated 21-12-2010 are irregularly placed in higher Pay Band-2 of 9300-34800 + Grade Pay of 4260 (Pre-Revised) after completion of eight years of service. Again, the Diploma holder Junior Engineers who acquire Degree in Engineering while in service are also irregularly granted the benefit of six advance increments. Consequent to issuance of Government Order No: 296-F of 2010 dated 21-12-2010, Finance Department, vide U. 0. No: A/24(98)-1-223 dated 11-10-2018, has amply clarified that there is uniform/single tier pay structure for Junior Engineers in Pay Band-2 of 9300-34800 + Grade Pay of 4200 (Pre-Revised) and placement in next higher pay scale after completion of eight years of service is not admissible since the date of issue of ibid Govt.
