Why officiating pay & allowance has not been paid to officiating arrangements?

 Kayveeyes’ Daily Rules Recap

Grant of officiating pay & allowance to Selection Grade officials

• This DG(P) order outlines the guidelines for granting officiating pay and allowances to Selection Grade officials in the Postal Department.

• Eligibility: Selection Grade officials who meet the criteria for a higher supervisory post (LSG, HSG.II, HSG.I) and are appointed to officiate in that role on a full-time basis are eligible for the pay and allowances of the higher post.

• Conditions: 
• Officiating arrangements must adhere to relevant rules (Rule 27 or 50 of Postal Manual Vol. IV) or instructions from DoP&T and the Ministry of Finance.

• The provisions of FR-35 (dealing with appointments in exigency of service) should not be invoked, as this usually applies to ineligible officials.

Officiating arrangements may be made in accordance with Rule 27 or 50 of Postal Manual Vol. IV or as per the instructions of DoP&T and Ministry of Finance, as the case may be. Such an official who fulfill the criteria laid down in the Recruitment Rules prescribed for such post and is thus eligible to be appointed to higher post is posted to officiate against the norm based supervisory post in LSG, HSG.II & HSG.I  cadre on a whole time basis should be remunerated by allowing the pay and allowances in the pay scale/pay band + grade pay attached to the higher posts, for the period the official continues to officiate in it, provided the provisions of FR-35 are not invoked by the appointing authority, which is normally done in case of ineligible officials being appointed to the higher posts in exigency of service.
(DG (P) No. 137-64/2010-SPB.II Dated 28.07.2011)

Unless the provisions of FR35 is invoked, the officials who are not having required service will not get officiating pay. This order has to be changed
