unfit running staff in alternative (stationary) post, an amount equal to such
percentage of basic pay (pay in Pay Band + Grade Pay) representing pay element
of running allowance as may be in force from time to time may be added to the
existing pay in Pay Band and the resultant figure (ignoring the fraction of
rupee. if any) rounded off to the next multiple of 10, would be the pay in the
Pay Band in the alternative post with no change in the Grade Pay of substantive
post, in suitable alternative post. An
illustration in this regard is enclosed as Annexure-I.
