NEW DELHI:  Central government employees retiring a day before their annual pay hike date would be eligible to get notional increment for the purpose of calculating the pension admissible to them, an official order said.

The move follows a Supreme Court order in this regard.

“It is advised that in pursuance of the above referred order dated 20.02.2025 of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, action may be taken to allow the increment on July 1/January 1 to the Central government employees who retired/are retiring a day before it became due, i.e., on June 30/December 31, and have rendered the requisite qualifying service as on the date of their superannuation with satisfactory work and good conduct for calculating the pension admissible to them,” the order issued by the personnel ministry said.
