Rule 294 — GFR

Rule 294 Due date of a withheld increment. In the absence of any specific order withholding an ordinary increment under FR 24 before the date on which it falls due for payment, the period of one year should be counted from the date on which it falls due and not with reference to the date on which the Increment Certificate is signed by the competent authority. Even where an increment is withheld, the time- limit should be reckoned from the date on which it falls due after taking into account the period for which it is withheld.
