Increments: All duty in a post on a time scale of pay for increments in that time scale. A person appointed to a category/post in the Council on a time scale of pay, shall ordinarily draw increment by putting in the required service to earn the same, unless it is withheld as a measure of punishment. An increment may be withheld from a Council employee by the authority competent to do so, if his/her conduct has bot been good or his/her work has not been satisfactory. In ordering the withholding of an increment, the withholding authority shall state the period for which it is withheld and whether the postponement shall have the effect of postponing future increments. The authority shall also expressly state in the order, whether the period for which the increment has been withheld will be inclusive or exclusive of any period spent on leave before the period of stoppage of increment is completed. If the order does not state that the withholding of increment shall have the without cumulative effect and it shall be acted upon accordingly. In all cases of stoppage of increment with cumulative effect, the authority imposing the penalty should append a certificate in the order itself to the effect, that he has duly taken into account the effect of such stoppage of increment on pension of the individual and passed orders on that basis only. In all cases of suspension on account of imprisonment for debt or reasons other than misconduct, the period of service preceding the suspension may be allowed to count for increment but not the actual period of suspension. Where an Efficiency Bar is prescribed in a time scale, the increment next above the bar, shall not be given without the specific sanction of the authority empowered to without the increment. All leave except extra-ordinary leave taken otherwise than on Medical certificate, shall count for increment in the time scale of pay applicable to the post held by the employee, when he/she proceeded on leave and would have continued in the said post but for his/her proceeding on leave. The period which should could for increment will be restricted to the period during which he/she would have actually held the post but for his/her going on leave. The appointing authority should issue a certificate specifying the period that would count for increment for such cases.
