Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • The gazette notification introduces the Indian Forest Service (Pay) Amendment Rules, 2023. These rules amend the Indian Forest Service (Pay) Rules, 2016, specifically concerning pay fixation upon promotion for officers of the Indian Forest Service (IFS).

Key Changes

  • The amendment modifies sub-rule (10) of rule 5 of the Indian Forest Service (Pay) Rules, 2016.
  • The amended rule provides IFS officers with an option regarding pay fixation upon promotion. They can choose to have their pay fixed in the higher post's level either from the date of promotion or from the date they subsequently earn an increment in the lower scale.
  • If an officer chooses the latter option (pay fixation from the date of the next increment in the lower scale), they will be placed at the next higher cell in the level to which they are promoted on the date of promotion. Further re-fixation will occur from January 1st or July 1st, coinciding with the date of accrual of the next increment in the lower scale.
  • The amendment is deemed to have come into effect on January 1, 2016.

Impact Analysis

Impact on Indian Forest Service Officers

  • The explanatory memorandum certifies that no member of the Indian Forest Service is likely to be adversely affected by the retrospective effect of these rules.

Suggested Action Items for Government
