(a) Where, in the fixation of pay, the pay of Teachers etc.drawing pay at two or more

consecutive stages, in an existing scale gets bunched, that is to say, gets fixed in the revised pay

structure at the same stage in the pay band, then, for every two stages so bunched, benefit of one

increment shall be given, so as to avoid bunching more than two stages in the revised running pay bands.

For this purpose, the increment will be calculated on the pay in the pay band. Grade pay would not be

taken into account for the purpose of granting increments to alleviate bunching.
