MASTER CIRCULAR
Master Circular No. 58
Increments - Consolidation of Orders
The instructions issued by the Railway Board from time to time, on the subject of
'Drawal of Increments of Non-Gazetted Staff' were consolidated in Master Circular
No. 46 issued on 29.06.1992. It has now been decided to supplement these
instructions by covering orders applicable to Probationary Officers in various
Railway Services Gr. 'A', Efficiency Bar and other clarificatory instructions about ad
hoc increment to officers stagnating at the maximum of
their pay scales.
2. General :
Drawal of increments is regulated by Rule 1320 (FR 26) R.II. This rule
relates to the counting of service and periods of leave for increments.
The following periods count for increments :
a. Duty
b. Service in another post, other than a post carrying less pay
referred to in clause (a) of Rule 227 (FR 15) R-1
c. All kinds of leave including E.O.L. granted on
i. medical certificate
ii. without medical certificate but due to inability of the railway
servant to join or re-join duty on account of civil commotion,
and
iii. for prosecuting higher technical and scientific studies.
d. E.O.L. taken otherwise than on medical certificate may be allowed
by the President or the competent Authority declared under Rule
1320 (FR 26)R.II to count, if it was taken for any other cause
beyond the control of the railway servant.
e. Deputation out of India under Rule 1339 (FR 51) R.II
f. Foreign service.
g. Joining time in continuation of duty
h. Joining time in continuation of leave if the last day of the leave
immediately before the commencement of joining time counts for
increment in that post.
Note: 1. In respect of a post on which the Railway servant was officiating, service
in a higher post counts for increment in the lower offg. post if he is re-
appointed to the Lower offg. post or is appointed or re-appointed to a post
in the same time scale. The period will however be restricted to the period
during which the railway servant would have officiated in the lower post
but for his appointment to the higher post.
2. Certificate of continued officiation but for proceeding on leave is necessary
in respect of periods referred to in (c) (d) (e) above.

3. In respect of a post on which the Railway servant was officiating the period
counting for increment will be restricted to the period so long as he would
have continued to officiate in that post or a post in the same time scale,
but for his going on foreign service.
4. Contract officers will be treated as officiating Government servants but the
certificate of continued officiation will not be necessary in respect of posts
in which they are on contract. Such a certificate will however be
necessary, in respect of the posts in which they are officiating.
3. Grant of advance increment to Probationary Officers in Railway Services Gr. A on
passing departmental exams.
