b) Change in the basic pay and allowances because of grant of Normal Grade
Increment/Stagnation Increment/Promotion to the higher cadre;

Finance & Accounts Department in this regard may be followed.
33. INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED TO THE CENTRAL OFFICE:
After payment of arrears, the Divisional Office should furnish the information in respect
of total amount paid by the offices under their control under various components
mentioned in the proforma to the controlling Zonal Office. Information only in respect
of consolidated amounts paid by way of arrears under each head should be furnished and
not the amount paid to the individual employees. The Zonal Offices shall, in turn,
19
furnish the consolidated information in respect of the zone as a whole to the
Personnel/ER Department, Central Office. All other offices not covered by the above
shall directly furnish the information to the Personnel/ER Department, Central Office.
