(1) The initial pay of a Government servant referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of rule 6 shall, unless the Government by a special order otherwise direct, be fixed in the ‘revised scale’ applicable to him separately,-
(a) in respect of the post held by him as on 1st April 2012; and 7
(b) in respect of the lower post, if any, which he would have held on that date but for his holding the higher post on officiating basis.
(2) The initial pay shall be fixed at the stage specified in column (2) of the Fourth Schedule corresponding to his ‘basic pay’ in the ‘existing scale’ appearing in column (1) thereof.
(3) The personal pay specified in column (2) of the Fourth Schedule shall count as pay for all purposes including fixation of pay on promotion.
(4) If the ‘basic pay’ of a Government servant does not appear in column
(1) of the Fourth Schedule, such a case shall be referred to the Government for orders.
(5) (a) Where a Government servant has entered service on or after 1st April 2012, his pay shall be fixed in the ‘revised scale’ applicable to the post to which he is appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Karnataka Civil Services Rules.
(b) Where a Government servant has been promoted or appointed on or after 1st April 2012 to any post other than that held by him prior to that date, his pay shall be fixed in the ‘revised scale’ applicable to the post held by him prior to 1st April 2012 in accordance with the provisions of sub-rules (1) to (4) of this rule and thereafter, on the basis of the pay so fixed, his pay shall be fixed in the scale of pay applicable to the post to which he has been promoted or appointed, in accordance with the provisions of the Karnataka Civil Services Rules.
8
(6) Where a Government servant has been granted ‘selection time scale of pay’ or the ‘senior scale of pay’ on or after 1st April 2012, his pay in the ‘revised scale’ applicable to the post held by him shall be fixed in accordance with the provisions of sub-rules (1) to (4) of this rule and thereafter, on the basis of the pay so fixed, his pay shall be fixed in the selection time scale of pay or senior scale of pay, as the case may be, in accordance with rule 4 of the Karnataka Civil Services (Time Bound Advancement) Rules, 1983 or rule 7 of the Karnataka Civil Services (Automatic Grant of Special Promotion to Senior Scale of Pay) Rules, 1991 respectively.
(7) Where in the fixation of pay under sub-rule (2) or sub-rule (4) of this rule, the pay of a Government servant, who in the ‘existing scale’ was drawing immediately before 1st April 2012 more pay than another Government servant junior to him in the same cadre, gets fixed in the revised scale at a stage lower than that of such junior, his pay shall be stepped up to the same stage in the ‘revised scale’ as that of the junior.
(8) Where a senior Government servant promoted to a higher post before 1st April 2012 draws less pay in the ‘revised scale’ than his junior who is promoted to the higher post on or after 1st April 2012, the pay of the senior Government servant shall be stepped up to an amount equal to the pay fixed for his junior in the higher post. This stepping up of pay shall be done with effect from the date of promotion of the junior Government servant, subject to fulfillment of the following conditions, namely:-
(a) both the senior and the junior Government servants should, before their promotion, belong to the same cadre and the posts to which they have been promoted belong to the same cadre;

(b) the ‘existing scale’ and the ‘revised scale’ of the lower and higher posts in which they are entitled to draw pay are identical;
(c) the junior Government servant was not drawing more pay in the ‘existing scale’ than the senior Government servant in the lower post;
and
(d) the anomaly is the direct result of the application of the Karnataka Civil Services Rules or any other rules or orders regulating pay fixation on such promotion in the ‘revised scale’.
