This article explains the calculation of increment for Central Government employees and particularly, how to rounded off the fraction of rupee. Most of the Central Government employees are knowing that the calculation of increment, computing 3% of the basic pay (Pay in the pay band plus Grade pay) and it rounded off to the next multiple of ten rupee. That will be added to the pay in the band.

As per the 6th CPC revised pay rules, the fraction of rupee should be ignored, but any amount of a rupee or more should be rounded off to next multiple of ten. The Finance Ministry order stated clearly that if the amount of increment comes to Rs.1900.70 paise, then the amount will be rounded off to Rs.1900, if the amount of increment works out to be Rs.1901, then it will be rounded off to Rs.1910.

In case of any increment calculation whether an annual increment or promotional increment, the above rule will be strictly followed. Even if a ten rupee will create huge monetary loss to the employees, whose pay in the pay band is reaching Rs.7440. This is the limit to get the Transport allowance from Rs.600+DA to Rs.1600+DA per month(Classified cities A/A-1). Whereas the transport allowance of Rs.3200 + DA, will be eligible for the Grade pay of Rs.5400 and above.
