This Department’s OM No. 6/8/2009-Estt.(Pay-II) dated 17.6.2010

Expenditure’s Resolution No.1-2/2016-IC dated 25th July, 2016, the
matter regarding allowances (except Dearness Allowance) based on the
recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) was referred to a
Committee under the Chairmanship of Finance Secretary and until a final
decision thereon, all Allowances have been paid at the existing rates
in the existing pay structure.
3. The decision of the Government on various allowances based on the
recommendations of the 7th CPC and in the light of the recommendations
of the Committee under the Chairmanship of the Finance Secretary has
since been issued as per the Resolution No.11-1/2016-IC dated 6th July
2017 of Department of Expenditure.
4. As mentioned at Sl.No.46 of the Appendix-II of the said Resolution
dated 6th July 2017, the recommendation of the 7th CPC for enhancement
of ceiling of Deputation (Duty) Allowance for civilians by 2.25 times
has been accepted and this decision is effective from 1st July, 2017.
Accordingly, the President is pleased to decide that the rates of
Deputation (Duty) Allowance and certain other conditions relating to
grant of Deputation (Duty) Allowance shall be as under:-
The Deputation (Duty) Allowance admissible shall be at the following rates:
(a) In case of deputation within the same station the Deputation (Duty)
Allowance will be payable at the rate of 5% of basic pay subject to a
maximum of Rs.4500 p.m.
(b) In case of deputation involving change of station, the Deputation
(Duty) Allowance will be payable at the rate of 10% of the basic pay
subject to a maximum of Rs.9000 p.m.
(c) The ceilings will further rise by 25 percent each time Dearness Allowance increases by 50 percent.
(d) Basic Pay, from time to time, plus Deputation (Duty) Allowance shall
not exceed the basic pay in the apex level i.e. Rs. 2,25,000/-. In the
case of Government servants receiving Non Practising Allowance, their
basic pay plus Non-Practising Allowance plus Deputation (Duty) Allowance
shall not exceed the average of basic pay of the revised scale
applicable to the Apex Level and the Level of the Cabinet Secretary i.e.
Rs.2,37,500/-.
Note: 1 ‘Basic pay’ in the revised pay structure (the pay structure
based on 7th Central Pay Commission recommendations) means the pay drawn
by the deputationist, from time to time, in the prescribed Level, in
Pay Matrix, of the post held by him substantively in the parent cadre,
but does not include any other type of pay like personal pay, etc.
Note: 2 In cases where the basic pay in parent cadre has been upgraded
on account of non-functional upgradation (NFU), Modified Assured Career
Progression Scheme (MACP), Non Functional Selection Grade (NFSG), etc.,
the upgraded basic pay under such upgradations shall not be taken into
account for the purpose of Deputation (Duty) Allowance.
Note 3 In the case of a Proforma Promotion under Next Below Rule (NBR):
If such a Proforma Promotion is in a Level of the Pay Matrix which is
higher than that of the ex-cadre post, the basic pay under such Proforma
Promotion shall not be taken into account for the purpose of Deputation
(Duty) Allowance. However, if such a Proforma Promotion under NBR is in
a Level of the pay matrix which is equal to or below that of the
ex-cadre post, Deputation (Duty) Allowance shall be admissible on the
basic pay of the parent cadre post allowed under the proforma promotion,
if opted by the deputationist.
Note 4 In case of Reverse Foreign Service, if the appointment is made to
post whose pay structure and/ or Dearness Allowance (DA) pattern is
dissimilar to that in the parent organisation, the option for electing
to draw the basic pay in the parent cadre [alongwith the Deputation
(Duty) Allowance thereon and the personal pay, if any] will not be
available to such employee.
Note: 5 The term ‘same station’ for the purpose will be determined with
reference to the station where the person was on duty before proceeding
on deputation.
Note: 6 Where there is no change in the headquarters with reference to
the last post held, the transfer should be treated as within the same
station and when there is change in headquarters it would be treated as
not in the same station. So far as places falling within the same urban
agglomeration of the old headquarters are concerned, they would be
treated as transfer within the same station.
5. Para 6.1 of this Department’s OM No.6/8/2009-Estt(Pay-II) dated 17.6.2010 stands amended to the above effect.
6. In so far as persons serving in the Indian Audit & Accounts
Department are concerned, these orders issue after consultation with the
Comptroller & Auditor General of India.
7. These orders shall take effect from 1st July, 2017

Under Secretary to the Government of India
