2.16.3 CHECK OF PAY FIXATION CASES 2.16.3.1 From 1st April,1976 the distinction between gazetted and non -gazetted staff in regard to maintenance of service records, determination of entitlements (including pay fixation) and drawal of entitlements has been dispensed with and Heads of Offices have been made responsible for these-vide O.M. No. F.10(9)-B(TR)/76 dated 28-2-76 and O.M. No. F-3(1)E.IV-(A)/76 dated 17-3- 76. It would not, therefore, be necessary for the authorities responsible for pay fixation to consult the PAOs in respect of cases of pay fixation with reference to normal rules. However, in specific difficulty or complicated cases, Ministry may consult the Pr. CCA/CCA/CA concerned. Cases requiring fixation of pay in relaxation of the normal rules should be referred to the authority competent to relax the rules through the Internal Finance Section of the Ministry and not to the Head of Accounting Organisation. The scrutiny of pay fixation cases done by the departmental offices with reference to the initial records should be audited by the Internal Audit Wing of the Ministry/Department.
