Sub:  Relieving of teachers from 2^nd July, 2012 - regarding.

                             ------------

Sir,

          I draw your kind attention to the orders issued by the Directorate of Education during the last few days transferring teachers from one place to other. In these orders, the date of stand relieving of teachers is mentioned as 25th June, 2012.  

          After the introduction of the Sixth Central Pay Commission, the date of increment for all the government employees under the Govt. of India   has been fixed as 1st July of every year. As per the rules,  if a government servant is on leave or is availing joining time on the 1^st of July,  the increased pay will be drawn only from the date on which  he resumes duty and not from the 1^st of July. A copy of the extract of the relevant rule is enclosed herewith for kind perusal.  The financial benefits on the annual increment will be available only on the date of joining duty by the government employee after availing leave, joining time, etc.        

          If the teachers working at outstations are relieved of their duties on 25^th June they can join duty at Port Blair and vice versa only on 6th July, 2012 after availing the permissible Joining Time.   For five days, they will be denied of the financial benefits of annual increment for no fault of theirs.  This problem can be avoided if the teachers are relieved of their duties from the afternoon of 2nd July instead of 25^th June, 2012.  

          Under the circumstances, I would request you kindly to issue immediate instructions  to all the Heads of Offices concerned to relieve  the  teachers  on 2^nd July, 2012 afternoon instead of 25th June, 2012  so that the transferred teachers will not be at loss of their  financial benefits on the annual increment.

          Yours faithfully,

(D. Ayyappan)
