Non-Practicing Allowance was paid only to Officers in a few cadres in the Department of Health and Family Welfare and Medical Education Department till 30-9-1996 and the same was stopped from 1-10-1996. Therefore, there is no point in continuing payment of Non-Practicing Allowance. The Pay Commission has also recommended for discontinuance of Non-Practicing Allowance. (iii)

Incentives:-

The Pay Commission has recommended that Government may examine separately, whether the existing system of grant of incentives can be extended to other fields also like Research and Development, Higher Education, Biotechnology, Computer Software Development etc. (iv) The Pay Commission has observed that wherever no specific recommendation has been made regarding rates of allowances etc., the existing rates and facilities may be continued at the existing level and at the existing rates. (v)

Gazetted Probationers:-

With a view to rationalize the pay scales of Group -B Probationers and also considering the fact that they have to undergo same type of examination and common process of recruitment, the Commission has recommended assignment of uniform pay scale.

27 (vi)

Grant of Time Bound Advancement and Senior scale of pay:-

The Pay Commission has suggested certain modifications in the TBA and Senior Scale of Pay Rules. While noting that there is overlapping of pay scales relating to Senior scale of pay and promotional posts and in some cases there is possibility of employees getting TBA, Senior scale of pay and promotion in the same scale, the Commission has recommended grant of senior scale of pay in the pay scale next above the pay scale of the promotional post. At the same time, the Commission has recommended that various relaxations introduced over the years to the rules may be withdrawn.
