            The draft Special Army Instructions submitted by the Army HQ is at encl 1-A.

2.         The draft was examined by the group of officers consisting Dir (AG), Dir (Fin/AG), ACGDA & Dy CDA (O), Pune. The draft prepared by the group of officers at encl 5-A was further discussed with Addl. FA (D), and CDA (O), Pune and, thereafter, with FA (DS) on 17-12-97. Based upon their suggestions, the draft was further modified and the final draft is placed at encl 6-A for approval.
  
3.         The following points have been kept in view while finalising the draft: -

(i)        The Fifth Central Pay Commission has recommended different scales of pay for each rank as against the earlier integrated pay scale.

(ii)       The Rank Pay has been allowed depending upon the rank held by the officer upto the rank of Brigadier.

(iii)      The method of pay fixation recommended by the V CPC is that in respect of substantive promotions, the pay may be fixed at the same stage available in the pay scale of the promoted rank and if no stage exists, at the next above stage. However, in respect of acting promotions, the criteria suggested by the V CPC is that till such time an officer completes the required number of qualifying service for promotion to a particular rank on substantive basis, the officer may draw pay only in the lower rank. However, the rank pay will be admissible on the next rank actually held by the officer either acting or substantive.     

(iv)      The above principle has been adopted in respect of pay fixation as on 1-1-1996.    
           
(v)       The provisions contained in our letter dated 21-11-1997 regarding the special provisions in respect of Majors, have been suitably incorporated in the S.A. I. 

(vi)      The Army officers  also are entitled to the benefit of bunching rule like that for civilians. Since in the integrated pay scale, specific minimum pay has been prescribed earlier (AI 1/S/87), the same has been suitably adopted in the Special A.I. for determination of minimum pay of each rank for determination of the number of stages in the pay fixation.

3.                  Submitted for approval of S.A. I. (Officers).

It has also been incorporated that Rank Pay will be reflected as Basic Pay at all times and for all purposes including accounting purposes.

(d)       “Pay for All Purposes” for Under-trainee Officers. The definition of “pay for all purposes” to which the stipend is to be converted after the officers complete their initial training as given in MOD letter at Encl 4A (Para 1(b) has been amplified to remove ambiguities.
