What Does the Government Order Permit?
The Andhra Pradesh Government has accorded permission to extend the Automatic Advancement Scheme benefit to eligible SGSW functionaries appointed through the 2019 and 2020 notifications. Those who complete six years of qualifying service in the same post or cadre may be granted the Special Grade Post Scale, after verification of all prescribed eligibility conditions.
Who May Be Eligible?
- Swarna Gramam and Swarna Wardu functionaries appointed under the 2019 or 2020 recruitment notifications.
- Employees who have completed six years of qualifying service in the same post/cadre.
- Employees who satisfy the conditions of the Automatic Advancement Scheme under the 11th Pay Revision Commission and subsequent instructions.
- Final sanction is subject to scrutiny by the competent authority; completion of six calendar years alone should not be treated as automatic sanction.
Background of AAS
The Automatic Advancement Scheme is intended for employees who remain in the same post/cadre due to limited promotional opportunities. The periodicity referred to in the order is 6/12/18/24 years. On completion of six years of qualifying service, an eligible employee can be considered for the Special Grade Post Scale, which is the next higher scale above the scale of the post held, subject to scheme conditions.
Action to Be Taken by Departments
The order directs the concerned Line Departments, Heads of Departments and Competent Authorities to initiate necessary action for sanction of the Special Grade Post Scale to eligible functionaries. The Director, SGSW, Vijayawada, is also instructed to take further action.
