Committee under the Chairmanship of the Finance Secretary has since been issued
as per the Resolution No.11-1/2016-IC dated 6th July 2017 of Department of

As mentioned at Sl.No.46 of the Appendix-II of the said Resolution dated 6th
July 2017, the recommendation of the 7th CPC for enhancement of ceiling of
Deputation (Duty) Allowance for civilians by 2.25 times has been accepted and
this decision is effective from 1st July, 2017. Accordingly, the President is
pleased to decide that the rates of Deputation (Duty) Allowance and certain
other conditions relating to grant of Deputation (Duty) Allowance shall be as
under:-
The
Deputation (Duty) Allowance admissible shall be at the following rates:
(a)
In case of deputation within the same station the Deputation (Duty)
Allowance will be payable at the rate of 5% of basic pay subject to a maximum
of Rs.4500 p.m.
(b)
In case of deputation involving change of station, the Deputation (Duty)
Allowance will be payable at the rate of 10% of the basic pay subject to a
maximum of Rs.9000 p.m.
(c)
The ceilings will further rise by 25 percent each time Dearness Allowance
increases by 50 percent.
(d)
Basic Pay, from time to time, plus Deputation (Duty) Allowance shall not exceed
the basic pay in the apex level i.e. Rs. 2,25,000/-. In the case of Government
servants receiving Non Practising Allowance, their basic pay plus
Non-Practising Allowance plus Deputation (Duty) Allowance shall not exceed the
average of basic pay of the revised scale applicable to the Apex Level and the
Level of the Cabinet Secretary i.e. Rs.2,37,500/-.
Note:
1 ‘Basic pay’ in the revised pay structure (the pay structure based on 7th
Central Pay Commission recommendations) means the pay drawn by the
deputationist, from time to time, in the prescribed Level, in Pay Matrix, of
the post held by him substantively in the parent cadre, but does not include
any other type of pay like personal pay, etc.
Note:
2 In cases where the basic pay in parent cadre has been upgraded on account of
non-functional upgradation (NFU), Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme
(MACP), Non Functional Selection Grade (NFSG), etc., the upgraded basic pay
under such upgradations shall not be taken into account for the purpose of
Deputation (Duty) Allowance.
Note
3 In the case of a Proforma Promotion under Next Below Rule (NBR): If such a
Proforma Promotion is in a Level of the Pay Matrix which is higher than that of
the ex-cadre post, the basic pay under such Proforma Promotion shall not be
taken into account for the purpose of Deputation (Duty) Allowance. However, if
such a Proforma Promotion under NBR is in a Level of the pay matrix which is
equal to or below that of the ex-cadre post, Deputation (Duty) Allowance shall
be admissible on the basic pay of the parent cadre post allowed under the
proforma promotion, if opted by the deputationist.
Note
4 In case of Reverse Foreign Service, if the appointment is made to post whose
pay structure and/ or Dearness Allowance (DA) pattern is dissimilar to that in
the parent organisation, the option for electing to draw the basic pay in the
parent cadre [alongwith the Deputation (Duty) Allowance thereon and the
personal pay, if any] will not be available to such employee.
Note:
5 The term ‘same station’ for the purpose will be determined with reference to
the station where the person was on duty before proceeding on deputation.
Note:
6 Where there is no change in the headquarters with reference to the last post
held, the transfer should be treated as within the same station and when there
is change in headquarters it would be treated as not in the same station. So
far as places falling within the same urban agglomeration of the old
headquarters are concerned, they would be treated as transfer within the same
station.
5.
Para 6.1 of this Department’s OM No.6/8/2009-Estt(Pay-II) dated 17.6.2010
stands amended to the above effect.
6.
In so far as persons serving in the Indian Audit & Accounts Department are
concerned, these orders issue after consultation with the Comptroller &
Auditor General of India.
7.
These orders shall take effect from 1st July, 2017
