The promoted officers of certain other class I services carrying the integrated scale of Rs.400-1250, did not become eligible for this benefit where due to administrative or other organisational reasons, the conditions of group charge (viz., supervision ove another class I Officer) could not be fulfilled.

It is also clarified that in the case of officers whose pay before the grant of the above benefit stood at the stage of Rs.1060/- the pay after the admission of the above benefit would be fixed at Rs.1100/- (Second stage in the integrated scale) only so as to allow to the officer the same extent of benefit in the integrated scale as would have accrued in the normal span of two incremental stages in the scale.
