Date of Effect of Promotion

Sir, I am a HR manager of a leading PSU State Power Transmission Company. Actually I am putting this question with the request to provide your clarification in the following Promotion matter which relates with Vigilance Angle also. Case: One of our Sr. Officer whose normal Promotion under APS(Assured Promotion Scheme where two assured promotions are granted after 8years & 8years interval on joining of initial date) was due on 05.06.2013 as his initial date of joining was 05.06.1997 and got 1st APS on 05.06.2005. This officer was charge sheeted on 10.03.14 and the Disciplinary Authority issued order on 19.11.14 with the punishment that ; “Reduction of two Annual increments with cumulative effect i.e the deprivation shall continue till he is in the service of the Company. It is also ordered that on completion of one year’s satisfactory service from the date of effect of the order he will earn his next increment from the stage to which pay would be so reduced.” The date of normal increment is 1st day of June of every Year. Later by the Central Recruitment & Promotion Department issued his promotion order on 31st March’2017 to the next higher post under 2nd APS w.e.f 19.11.2015. Now, some of the recognized trade union submitted their representation stating that the date of effect of Promotion of the referred officer should not be before 19.11.2016 under any circumstances, as per the union 19.11.14 to 19.11.16 will be the Punishment Period, hence no Promotion will be effected within the said period. Being a IR Manager of my organization the case is referred to me for urgent clarification. It is my kind request to you kindly issues your reply at the earliest to resolve the above issue. I also assured you that this is my personal request and should not be treated as Officials. Any case you have some case reference in this regards may please be forwarded to me through mail. The service regulation of our Company remain salient in this matter. Thanks & Regards
