Preamble :

In Government Order dated : 24-03-2010 read at (1) above orders were issued extending the 2006 Revised UGC/ICAR Pay

scale benefits to the faculties working in Agriculture Universities of the State with effect from 01.01.2006.

The UGC in its communication dated: 31.01.2018 read at (3) above had informed the State Government to adopt the central

Government pay scheme contained in GOI, MHRD letter dated: 02.11.2017 referred at (2) above, as recommended by the 7

th Central

Pay Commission to Universities and colleges in the state. Further, the ICAR in its letter dated: 09.01.2019 read at (6) above has

informed the State Government that ICAR would reimburse 50% of its share of the total financial expenditure on account of pay

revision for the period 01.01.2016 to 31.03.2019, provided, the state Government should implement the revised UGC/ICAR pay scale

w.e.f. 01.01.2016 as per MHRD notification dated: 02.11.2017.

The revised Central Government Pay Scales have been structured by merging the Dearness allowance of 125% sanctioned

from 01.01.2016 in the pre-revised pay scale. Subsequent to the revision of Central Government pay scales w.e.f.01.01.2016, the State

Government, in G.O. dated: 30.10.2018 read at (7) above have sanctioned 148% of Dearness Allowance subsequent to 01.07.2016 till

01.07.2018 to the faculties in State Agriculture Universities in the State and who are drawing pay in the 2006 Revised UGC/ICAR Pay

scales. Resultantly, the State Government have sanctioned 23% of Dearness Allowance in the pre-revised pay scales to these category

of employees as against 09% of D.A. sanctioned by the GOI in the 2016 RPS. Further, these employees are paid HRA at the rate of

30%, 20% and 10% of Basic pay till date, as against 24%, 16% and 8% of revised HRA rates applicable to the Central Government

employees w.e.f. 01.01.2016. Accordingly, while implementing the Revised Pay Scheme to the faculties of Agriculture Universities in the

State, the Government have kept these aspects in mind.

Accordingly, as a matter of precedent and in the light of the instructions from GOI to revise the Pay Scales of Teachers,

Librarians and equivalent cadres working in State Universities, following orders are issued.

GOVERNMENT ORDER NO: AGD 127 AUM 2017, BENGALURU, DATED:21.03.2019.
