Under this, in the scenario of the Seventh Pay Commission, the government employees will be protected from salary after appointment to a new post in a separate service or cadre through direct recruitment in the central government. It will be found inside FR 22-B (1) of Seventh Pay Commission.
The office memorandum further states that the President was allowed protection of pay under the provisions made within FR 22-B (1) after the seventh CPC report and the CCS (RP) Rules 2016 came into force Those who have been appointed as probationers in other services or cadres, whether they have more responsibility or not. This order is effective from 1 January 2016.
The Office Memorandum states that after several references from the Ministries or Departments regarding Protection of Pay under FR 22-B (1), the need was felt that the Central Government employees who technically passed the Central Government Guidelines should be issued to fix pay under the Seventh Pay Commission if they are appointed by direct recruitment to a new post in a separate service or cadre.
