As per Rule 7 of CCS (Revised Pay) Rules 2008 the pay in the pay band / pay scale will be determined by multiplying the existing basic pay as on 01.01.2006 by a factor of 1.86 and rounding off the resultant figure to the next multiple of 10. If the minimum of the revised pay band/pay scale is more than the amount arrived at as per above calculation, the pay shall be fixed at the minimum of the revised pay band/pay scale. In addition to the pay in the pay band, grade pay corresponding to the existing scale will be payable.

As per Rule 11 of CCS (Revised Pay) Rules 2008 where a Government Servant continues to draw his pay in the existing scale and is brought over to the revised pay structure from a date later than 1/1/2006, his pay from the later date in the revised pay structure shall be fixed by adding the basic pay applicable on the later date, the dearness pay applicable on that date and the pre-revised dearness allowance based on the rates applicable as on 01/01/2006. This figure will be rounded off to the next multiple of 10 and will then become the pay in the applicable pay band. In addition to this, the grade pay corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale will be payable.

(b) to (e): On reference from DOPT, during the course of implementation of revised pay structure under the CCS(RP) Rules 2008, this Department vide U.O.
