Promotions are now effected without referring to vacancies by adopting the
methodology indicated at para 11.
2.3 A Special Scale (SS) equivalent to Grade-I is introduced in the Workmen Cadre above

Technical disciplines acquiring Degree in Engineering or its equivalent and in Non-
Technical disciplines acquiring 2 years Full Time or 3 years Part Time / Correspondence
Professional qualifications (viz. ICWA, CA, ACS, MBA etc.), in the relevant discipline,
while in service are given one year relaxation in their existing promotion span under
Time Scale Promotion Scheme in all Group / Scales as indicated in the above Table. In
any case, the period of uninterrupted service to be completed (span) for Promotion

for Professionally Qualified Workmen).
ii. To derive the benefits of Professional Qualification for Promotion within the same Group
/ Scale as at (i) above, the Workmen should have acquired the qualification in the
Discipline in which they are working (examples: employees working in the Finance
Department should acquire the qualification in the Finance Discipline; employees
working in the HR Department should acquire qualification in the HR Discipline,

3.1 BACKGROUND: A new Scheme known as Career Plan Scheme was introduced for the
new comers with effect from 16.4.97. In addition to the existing Wage Groups / Scales
of Pay, four more Pay Scales were introduced in respect of Workmen covered under this
Scheme. The Pay Scales would be known as Scales-1 to 10. The newly introduced
Scales are Scale-1 (before Group-A), Scale-3 (between Group-A and Group-B), Scale-5
(between Group-B and Group-C) and Scale-10 (above Group-F). Modifications in the
existing Career Plan Scheme were made with effect from 1.1.01 and again w.e.f 1.3.08
3.2 This Scheme would be applicable to all Workmen who have been / who would be
appointed in the regular Pay Scales of the Company on or after 16th April 1997.
There are 4 Channels / Cadres in the Workmen Category under this Scheme, known as
Channels A, B, C & D. Workmen are categorized into the respective Channels, based on
the qualification required to be possessed for entry into each Channel as indicated
below:
Channel / Qualifications
Skill Level
Scale of Pay Technical Non-Technical
A/1 No Induction SSLC Un-skilled
B/4 ITI PUC / Inter * Semi-skilled

(Minimum of 3 months duration), as the case may be. In respect of candidates
possessing the Qualification of Degree in Computer Science or Degree in Computer
Application, the certificate of proficiency in PC Operations need not be insisted upon.
$ would mean Bachelors Degree in Arts / Science / Commerce / Administration /
Management / Computer Applications (like BA/BSc/BCom/BCA/BBA/BBM).
~ In Trades wherever BSc / MSc is presently prescribed for Direct Recruitment
The Scales of pay to which appointments were made with effect from 16.4.97 to
28.2.08, Channel-wise are as follows:
3.5 Consequent to the upgradation of the Induction levels in Channels B, C & D w.e.f.
1.3.2008, Service Weightage equivalent to 75% of the service put in the Scale in which
the employee has been inducted (including the training period), subject to a maximum
of 3 years, in units of completed years, has been granted to Workmen inducted under
the Career Plan Scheme in Scales D5, C4 & B3 on or after 16.4.97 and who have been
promoted to higher Scales on or before 1.1.08, for their next promotion(s), in order
to eliminate seniority anomalies.
3.6 Workmen inducted in Scales-D5, C4 & B3 and continuing in these Scales as on 1.3.08
were elevated to Scales-D6, C5 & B4 respectively, w.e.f. 1.3.08. Further, they were
granted Service Weightage @ 50% of the service put in the Scale in which they are
inducted (including the training period), for the next Promotion. This Weightage has
been considered in units of completed years and months.
3.7 Workmen appointed in Scales-D5, C4 & B3 after 1.3.08 were re-fitted in Scales-D6, C5
& B4 respectively, depending on the qualifications possessed by them.
3.8 Workmen, if any, who were appointed under the Career Plan Scheme in the past in a
Scale of Pay higher than the one in which they would normally have been appointed as
per the qualifications possessed by them will not be eligible for grant of Service
Weightage or elevation to the next Scale of Pay.
Induction levels for posts in the Trades of Pharmacist, Nursing Staff and Clerical Cadre,
in respect of candidates possessing specific qualifications, will be as follows:
4
Channel and
Designation Qualification possessed Scale of
Induction
PUC/Inter + Diploma in Pharmacy
(D. Pharma) (2 years) C5
Pharmacist
PUC/Inter + Bachelors Degree in Pharmacy
(B. Pharma) D6
3.10 In certain Technical Trades like Tool & Die Maker, Millwright etc, the ITI course is of 3
years duration, as against 2 years in generic Trades like Fitter, Miller, Turner etc.
Personnel in such Trades have to learn about Trades like Fitter, Turner and Machinist
etc. also. As such, such personnel could be considered as possessing qualification on
par with Diploma in Engineering.
3.11 Considering the aspects at para-3.10, personnel possessing such qualifications will be
inducted in the next Scale, compared to the Scale in which normal ITI or NAC/NCTVT
qualified candidates are inducted.
3.12 Accordingly, personnel in Trades where the ITI Course is of 3 years duration (like Tool &
Die Maker) will be inducted in Scales & Channels as indicated below:
3.13 Policy provides for induction of Ex-Servicemen who are having relevant experience in
the Discipline / Trades in which requirements arise. Based on the qualification(s)
possessed, they are either appointed in higher Scales of Pay (compared to the induction
levels prescribed under the Career Plan Scheme) and / or are granted Advance
Increment(s), depending on the years of service put in the Armed Forces. In other
words, experienced Ex-Servicemen will continue to be appointed at higher levels,
compared to fresh candidates.
3.14 Appropriate Service Weightage, in line with the provisions of paras-3.5 & 3.6 was
granted to such Ex-Servicemen also.

Technical disciplines acquiring Degree in Engineering or its equivalent and in Non-
Technical disciplines acquiring 2 years full time or 3 years part time / correspondence
Professional qualifications (viz. ICWA, CA, ACS, MBA etc.), in the relevant discipline,

Discipline in which they are working (examples: employees working in the Finance
Department should acquire the qualification in the Finance Discipline; employees
working in the HR Department should acquire qualification in the HR Discipline,
Workmen in technical areas should acquire Degree in Engineering, etc.).
On elevation to the next higher Scale on account of upgradation of the induction levels,
the Basic Pay will be fixed by applying the normal Rules for fixation of Pay on Promotion
or at the applicable minimum Basic Pay in the elevated Scale, whichever is higher.
4.1. All promotions in Workmen Cadre under TSP / CPS would be effected only from one
date in a year, i.e. 1st January.

4.5. Employees elevated to the Special Scale and possessing the qualifications
prescribed for Promotion to Grade-I, will be eligible for movement to Grade-I parallely,
against vacancies notified for Promotion from Scale-10 to Grade-I, along with Workmen

such parallel movement to Grade-I.
4.6. Employees who have atleast one month of service left behind for superannuation would
be eligible for promotion under the Time Scale Promotion and Career Plan Scheme.
7
4.7 While effecting promotions, in cases, where the first of the month happens to be a

first of the month though it is a Sunday/declared Holiday for the Divisions / Offices.
However, the Financial benefits will accrue only from the next working day following the
holidays or from the actual date of assumption of charge in the higher Scale of Pay.
4.8 Workmen who are re-mustered or are re-categorized from Technical Trades to Non-
Technical Trades or vice-versa will be eligible for Time Scale Promotion / Career Plan
Scheme, taking into account their original date of Appointment / Promotion to the
Group and the Qualification relevant to the re-mustered / re-categorized Trade, subject
to fulfilling other stipulated conditions for effecting Promotions in respect of re-
mustered / re-categorized Workmen.
The Rules on reservation of posts for SC/STs are not applicable for effecting promotion
from one Scale to the next under the TSP / Career Plan Schemes, as the promotions
are Time Bound. However, in case the Govt. of India issues directions to the effect that
reservation of posts is to be made in TSP & Career Plan Schemes or to the effect that
reduced time span be prescribed for these promotions in respect of SC/ST employees
compared to employees in the General category, the same will be implemented in the
Company also.
4.10 Promotion under the scheme will be without reference to vacancies and Workmen
promoted will be given the Designation of higher Group / Scale and will not be adjusted
against regular vacancies in the higher Group / Scale. Workmen who are promoted
under the TSP Scheme / Career Plan Scheme will continue to perform the duties they
were performing in the lower Group / Scale prior to their Promotion.
4.11 Time Scale Promotion / Career Plan Scheme Promotion will not leave / result in
vacancies in the lower Wage Group / Scale as those promoted are held supernumerary
in the promoted Group / Scale.
4.12 Qualifying period of service should be the number of years preceding the due date for
Time Scale Promotion / Career Plan Scheme.
4.13 In case of Regulation of Time Scale Promotion for demoted employees, period of

a) The following types of absence would be reckoned for the purpose of consideration of
Physical attendance of 210 days:
8
ii. Deputation by the Company for Training courses, Seminars, Meetings etc.;
iii. Special leave for family welfare operation to the extent admissible under the
Rules;
iv. Maternity Leave as admissible under the Maternity Benefit Act or the ESI Scheme

vii. If a Workmen attends duty for half a day and avails half a day’s Casual Leave for
the other half on that day, such Workmen should be treated as having been
present for full day for this purpose;
ix. Additional paid holidays granted by the Company may also be treated as
physical attendance provided the Workmen had attended duty both on the
preceding and the following day of the holiday;
The above certification from the authorized Medical Officer of Government could
be considered on the following cases only:
Employees who apply for LWP on Medical Grounds need to enclose required
supporting documents along with the Leave Application. Further, the application
should be submitted at the earliest opportunity. In this regard, employees need
to submit applications for availing / regularizing already availed LWP on medical
grounds, within a maximum period of 1 month from the date of joining back for
duty.
b) In case of average LWP (per annum) above nineteen days and upto thirty eight days,
promotion / grant of additional increment(s) will get deferred by six months and
beyond that period by one year. For being eligible for said promotion / grant of
additional increment there should be no LWP during the extended period otherwise the
promotion gets further shifted by six months and so on.
4.14.2 Once the promotion is deferred on account of not meeting the condition of average 210
days of Physical attendance (on account of LWP) during the preceding two years, the
promotion can be effected in subsequent year, provided there was no LWP during the
9
extended period, without further checking whether the employee fulfills the condition of
average 210 days of Physical attendance during the preceding two years with reference
to revised date of reckoning.
4.15. Since the assessment of the employees for promotion under Time Scale Promotion
Scheme and Career Plan Scheme are determined based on Average Performance Index
and Committee Evaluation, the Promotion of Workmen will be notified individually and
their promotion will be made effective only on their assuming charge of the higher
Group / Scale in writing.
5.1.1 Workmen having the Qualification of SSLC / equivalent & above with unblemished
service in Scale-10 will be granted one Additional increment on completion of eligibility

of Service Weightage so arrived at will be reckoned for the purpose of their subsequent
promotion.
6.3.1 Service Weightage for their next promotion will be arrived at with reference to the total
service in the Un-skilled Trades in Scale-4 & 5 put together. The Service weightage
would be 50% of the Total service in the Un-skilled Trades in Scales-4 & 5 put together,

without any linkage to vacancies. The following criteria need to be fulfilled for such
movement to next higher Channel:
11
i. Workmen should possess qualifications prescribed for entry into the concerned higher
Channel;
ii. Movement from one Channel to next would be in the same Scale of Pay only (eg: B5 to
C5, C6 to D6 etc.);
iii. The Management will be free to decide the posting of such employees on their elevation
to the higher Channel;
iv. Criteria for movement from one Channel to the next would be merit. Suitability of
Workmen would be assessed by the duly constituted Selection Committee based on
Test & Interview and past performances as reflected in the Confidential Reports for the
last 3 years;
v. The Workmen should have met the Average Physical Attendance criterion as
enumerated at para 4.14.
vi. If any Workmen has been imposed with minor or major punishment during the
reckoning period, his movement from one Channel to another in the same Scale of Pay
gets postponed by six months and one year for each minor and major punishment
respectively.
vii. When Workmen move from one channel to another in the same scale of pay (eg: B5 to
C5, B6 to C6, C6 to D6) there would not be any change in the pay drawn.
Consequent to the up-gradation of the induction levels under the Career Plan Scheme
as at Para 3.4 and grant of Service Weightage as at Paras-3.5/3.6/3.14, seniority
anomalies may arise between Workmen possessing qualification of NAC / NCTVT
inducted in Scale 4 under the Time Scale Promotion (TSP) Scheme on or before 15th
April 1997 and Workmen possessing the same qualification inducted after 15th April
1997 in Channel C under the Career Plan Scheme (CPS). No seniority anomalies are
expected in respect of employees possessing other qualifications.
8.2 The total span for reaching Scale 10 under the TSP Scheme in respect of Workmen
possessing NAC / NCTVT qualification inducted in Scale 4, with the span for promotion
as indicated at Para-2.4, will be 28 years. The total span for reaching Scale 10 under the
CPS, after upgradation of the induction levels as at Para-3.15 in respect of Workmen
with NAC/NCTVT qualification, would also be 28 years. In respect of Workmen with NAC
/ NCTVT qualification inducted under the CPS in Scale 4 who have already been
promoted to a higher Scale, the total span for reaching Scale 10, with the benefit of 3
years Service Weightage as at Para-3.5 would be 30 years.
8.3 The procedure as at Paras-8.4 to 8.7 will be followed for settling seniority anomalies, if
any, which may arise between Workmen referred at Para-8.2 inducted under the TSP
Scheme on or before 15th April 1997 and those inducted under the CPS after 15.4.97
who have got the benefit of Service Weightage
12
8.4 As indicated at Para-8.2, the total span required in respect of a Workman with
NAC/NCTVT qualification under the TSP Scheme, to reach Scale 10, from Scale 4, would
be 28 years vis-à-vis 30 years required by a Workman possessing the same
qualification inducted in Scale 4 under the CPS who will derive the benefit of 3 years
Service Weightage. Considering this aspect, no changes would be made in respect of
the employees under the TSP Scheme. In other words, the case will not be considered
as a seniority anomaly;
8.5 Alternatively, in case a Workman under the CPS who is eligible for Service Weightage
becomes eligible for promotion to the next higher Scale earlier to a senior Workman
under the TSP Scheme, the senior Workman under the TSP Scheme will also be eligible
for promotion to the next higher Scale, on the same date as the Workman under the
CPS. In this case, further promotions of the Senior Workman who is presently under the
TSP Scheme, will be under the CPS only.
8.6 Concerned senior Workmen under the TSP Scheme would have to choose between the
options at paras-8.4 or 8.5.
8.7 Comparison as at para-8.5 would be made within the same Division / Office only.
8.8 The following guidelines are to be followed in respect of employees who have availed
Leave Without Pay / whose training period was extended / whose probation period was
extended / who have been imposed with punishment etc., and who are to be
considered for elevation to the next higher Scale of Pay / Grant of Service Weightage

that period like in the case of Time Scale Promotions as provided at Para 4.14.1. In
respect of employees who have not completed 2 years regular service as on 1.3.08, the
requirement of average Physical Attendance will be decided on a pro-rata basis;
b. Further, like in the case of Time Scale Promotions as provided at para 4.14.1, in cases
of average LWP (per annum) above 19 days and upto 38 days, the elevation will be
deferred by 6 months. In cases of LWP above 38 days, the elevation will be deferred
by one year. For being eligible for the elevation, there should be no LWP during the
extended period of 6 months / 1 year. Otherwise, the elevation will be further extended
by 6 months and so on.
c. In order to become eligible for the elevation, no punishments should also have been

imposed with major punishments during the service in the induction scale, will not be
eligible for any Service Weightage for their promotion to the next Scale;
14
9. EXTENSION OF DATE OF PROMOTION
9.1 In cases where the prescribed training / contract period is extended on account of
unsatisfactory performance / non-completion of training satisfactorily, the service
eligibility for promotion to the next higher Scale will be increased by the period by
which the training / contract period is extended in units of minimum 6 months or 1

postponement of his increment. Any further leave without pay availed by the employee
will result in postponement of his increment.
19.7 In cases where the annual increment in any year is deferred on account of leave
without pay / unauthorized absence, the due date of the next increment will be
determined notionally by reckoning a period equal to the period of leave without pay
from the date on which the increment would otherwise become due. If this happens to
fall between 1st to 15th of the month, the increment will be allowed on the 1st of the
month. Otherwise, the increment will be allowed on the 1st of the following month.

16. PROMOTION OF OFFICER WHO IS UNDER SUSPENSION OR AGAINST WHOM
DISCIPLINARY/ CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS ARE PENDING
16.1 While considering the suitability of Officers, who are within the zone of Vacancy Based
Promotions / Career Plan Promotions, details of Officer(s) falling under the following
categories should be brought to the notice of the Departmental Promotion Committee:-
(b) Officers in respect of whom a charge-sheet has been issued and disciplinary
proceedings are pending;
16.2 The DPC after assessing the suitability of the Officer coming under one of the categories
mentioned above, shall keep the assessment in a sealed cover with the superscription
that “Findings regarding suitability for promotion to Grade ____ in respect of
Shri_________________ not to be opened till the termination of disciplinary
proceedings / criminal prosecution / investigation / enquiry against
Shri_______________”
The proceedings of the DPC need only contain the note. The findings are contained in
the attached sealed cover.
16.4 If there is no vacancy available in the relevant discipline at the time of his promotion,
he may be promoted and adjusted against the next wastage vacancy. If any penalty is
imposed on the Officer as a result of disciplinary proceedings / investigations, the
findings of the sealed cover / covers shall not be acted upon. His case for promotion
may be considered by the next DPC in the normal course and having regard to the
penalty imposed on him;
16.5 It is necessary to ensure that the disciplinary cases / investigation instituted against
any Officer is not unduly prolonged and all efforts to finalise expeditiously the
proceedings should be taken, so that, the need for keeping the case in the sealed cover
is limited to the barest minimum;
59
16.6 However, if the disciplinary proceedings / investigation goes beyond the validity of the
panel i.e one year from the date of interview, the sealed cover shall not be acted upon
and the case of the Officer for promotion may be considered by the next DPC and the
recommendation of the DPC be kept in the closed cover in the event the disciplinary
proceedings and investigation is not completed at the time of conducting the DPC;
16.7 An Officer who is recommended for promotion by DPC but in whose case any of the
circumstances mentioned in para-16.1 above arises, after the recommendations of the
DPC are received but before he is actually promoted, it will be treated as if his case has
been placed in the sealed cover by the DPC. He will not be promoted until he is
completely exonerated of the charges against him and the provisions contained above
will be applicable in such cases also.
16.8 To ensure that promotion of Officers are not kept pending on account of frivolous cases,
the following procedure will be followed while considering an Officer for promotion,
against whom prosecution for criminal charge is pending (Refer para 16.1 (c)):
The existing system of sealed cover procedure will be followed in such cases also.
However, if the prosecution for the criminal charge is pending in a matter not related to
HAL / Service in HAL, and has arisen out of a private complaint / petition filed by a third
party, the authority competent to effect the promotion can review the matter, pending
closure of the criminal proceedings and decide to open the sealed cover, after
ascertaining the nature / type of the case and process the matter further. However, if
the private complaint is filed in a matter, which has already been decided in favour of
employee by a Competent Authority, it will have no impact on promotion. If pending
criminal proceedings are initiated by the State, though the matter may not be related to
HAL / service in HAL, the sealed cover will not be acted upon till the completion of the
proceedings.
60
17. EFFECT OF LEAVE WITHOUT PAY (LWP) / EXTENSION OF PROBATION /
EXTENSION OF TRAINING / CONTRACT PERIOD
17.1 The guidelines for considering Officers who fall into the following categories for
promotion are indicated at paras 17.2 to 17.8:
ii) Officers who are initially appointed on Contract basis for specific periods & whose
contract service is extended before regularization on account of unsatisfactory
performance during the specified contract period, wherein the contract period is
reckoned as service for the purpose of promotion to the next Grade;
iii) Officers whose probation period on initial appointment is extended on account of non
satisfactory performance during the probation; and
17.2 In cases where the prescribed training / contract period is extended on account of
unsatisfactory performance / non-completion of training satisfactorily, the service
eligibility for promotion to the next higher Grade will be increased by the period by
which the training / contract period is extended, in units of minimum 6 months or 1
year, as the case may be. Illustrative examples are given below:
61
17.3 In cases where the probation period on initial / fresh appointment is extended, the
prescribed period of service eligibility for promotion to the next Grade will be increased
by the periods indicated below, under all modes of promotion (i.e. IMS/DPC/CPP):
17.4 The prescribed period of service eligibility for promotion to the next Grade, under IMS /
DPC / CPP, in respect of Officers who take ‘Leave Without Pay’ during the service in the
existing Grade, will be increased by the periods indicated below:
17.5 Officers who take Leave Without Pay on Medical grounds would be required to produce
a Certificate from the Chief of Medical Services of the concerned Complex / Division,
indicating the sickness and certifying that they were unable to attend duty for the
period of LWP on account of the said sickness.
17.6 The effect of LWP availed by Executive / Management / Design Trainees during their
training period, on their promotion to the next higher Grade is as under:
62
i) The Training period in respect of Executive / Management / Design Trainees is reckoned
as service in the Grade in which they are absorbed, for the purpose of their promotion
under IMS/DPC/CPP to the next higher Grade, subject to meeting the other prescribed
conditions. Consequently, it is clarified that LWP, if any, availed by Executive /
Management / Design Trainees during the training period will be considered as LWP
availed during the service in the Grade in which they are absorbed, and their promotion
to the next higher Grade would be processed as spelt out Para 17.4 above.
ii) It is further clarified that extension of the date of absorption of Executive / Management
/ Design Trainees, from the actual due date, by the number of days of LWP availed
during the training period, will not fall in the category indicated at Para 17.2. Extension
of the normal period of training, by specific periods (say, 3 months, 6 months etc.) on
account of non completion of the training within the normal period / failure, will only be
reckoned under para 17.2.
17.7 The procedure to be adopted in determining the date of eligibility for promotion in
respect of Officers who avail further LWP during the extended period, whose promotion
was earlier extended on account of LWP availed during the normal eligibility period is as
under:
i) In respect of Officers who avail LWP other than on Medical Grounds during the extended
period, there would be further extension of service eligibility for promotion under
IMS/DPC/CPP to the next higher Grade, as indicated below:
Extension of Service Eligibility for further LWP availed during the extended
period
Quantum of LWP availed Further extension of Service Eligibility for
during the extended period promotion
Officers in Grades I to III
Upto 6 days Nil
7 to 45 days Six months
46 to 90 days One year
91 to 180 days One and a half years
181 to 365 days Two years
Two years for 365 days plus one year for each
Beyond 365 days
additional block upto 180 days
Officers in Grade IV & higher
ii) As regards Leave Without Pay availed on Medical Grounds during the extended period,
there would be no further extension of service eligibility. However, such Officers would
be required to produce Certificate from the Chief of Medical Services of the concerned
Complex / Division, indicating the sickness & certifying that they were unable to attend
duty for the period of LWP on account of the said sickness.
63
18. PROMOTION OF OFFICERS WHO ARE SPONSORED / DEPUTED FOR HIGHER
STUDIES / TRAINING OR GRANTED STUDY LEAVE
ii) Date of joining on promotion, reckoning of Probation Period and Confirmation in cases
of Officers promoted as at (i) above;
iii) System for raising PARs during the period of Deputation/Sponsorship/Study Leave;
iv) Procedure for reckoning Probation period, Confirmation etc in respect of Officers who
are sponsored/deputed for Higher Studies/Training or granted Study Leave, before
completion of Probation period;
18.2 Officers who are sponsored / deputed by the Company for Higher Studies / Training
would be considered for Career Plan Promotion w.e.f. the normal due dates and for
Vacancy Based Promotions during the year(s) in which they would have been
considered for promotion, had they not been on Deputation / Sponsorship. However,
promotion orders in respect of such Officers who are cleared for promotion (under CPP /
DPC / IMS / Selection) would be issued only after they join back for duties, w.e.f. the
original due date of promotion, with seniority and financial benefits. Annual increments
in such cases, in the promoted Scales / Grades, would be granted (after the promotion
orders are issued) as if the Officers concerned have been confirmed. Probation period in
such cases would start w.e.f. the actual date of joining the promoted post. Confirmation
would be processed depending upon the completion of the probation period and Annual
Increments already granted, pending confirmation, would be re-adjusted, if necessary,
depending upon the date of confirmation;
18.3 Officers who are granted Study Leave by the Company would be considered for Career
Plan Promotion w.e.f. the normal due dates and for Vacancy Based Promotions during
the year(s) in which they would have been considered for promotion, had they not been
on Study Leave. Promotion orders in respect of such Officers who are cleared for
promotion (under CPP / DPC / IMS / Selection) would also be issued only after they join
back for duties. Though they would be granted ante-dated seniority in the promoted
post w.e.f. the original due date of promotion, they would be eligible for financial
benefits in the promoted post only from the date of issue of the promotion order;
18.4 Requisite number of vacancies for promoting Officers who are on Deputation /
Sponsorship for Higher Studies / Training or who have been granted Study Leave and
who have been found suitable for Vacancy Based promotions as at Paras 18.2 & 18.3
above, should be kept aside by the Division / Office concerned, out of the total
vacancies available during the concerned year(s), for effecting promotions of such
selected Officers, after they join back for duties.
64
18.5 No Performance Appraisal Reports would be raised during the period of Sponsorship /
Deputation for Higher Studies/Training or Study Leave. However, if the Officer is
available for duties for a part of the year (more than 3 months), PAR for that period
would be raised and the same would be considered as for the full year, for the purpose
of promotions.
18.6 In respect of year(s) for which PARs are not available, the overall Gradation of the year
for which PAR was raised last would notionally be taken as the Gradation for the
concerned year(s), for the purpose of considering such Officers for Promotion.
EXAMPLE
PARs of 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 are to be reckoned for considering an Officer
for promotion to Gr-III. However, no PARs were raised during 2012-13 and 2013-14 as
the Officer was deputed for Higher Studies. Gradation of 2011-12 was ‘87’. Accordingly,
Gradations for 2012-13 and 2013-14 would be reckoned as ‘87’ for the purpose of
considering him for promotion.
18.7 In respect of Officers who are deputed / sponsored for Higher Studies / Training or
granted Study Leave, during the period of Probation, the probationary period of 12
months would be reckoned covering the period which such Officers would already have
served in the promoted post prior to Deputation/Sponsorship for Higher Studies /
Training or grant of Study Leave and the balance period after they join back for duties.
Such Officers who are deputed / sponsored for Higher Studies / Training would be
eligible for Annual Increments every year, irrespective of the fact that they have not
been confirmed. Annual Increments already granted to such Officers, pending
confirmation, would be re-adjusted, if necessary, depending upon the date of
confirmation.
EXAMPLE
An Officer who was promoted w.e.f. 1.7.12 was deputed for Higher Studies during the
period 6.10.12 to 5.4.14. The Probation period in his case would be from 1.7.12 to
5.10.12 and again from 6.4.14 to 31.12.14 (i.e., excluding the period 6.10.12 to 5.4.14
during which he is undergoing Higher Studies)
18.8 The methodology to be adopted for conducting the Interview of candidates who are
sponsored for higher studies aboard are as follows:
i) Written Test of Officers sponsored for Higher Studies abroad, granted Study Leave to
pursue courses abroad, posted abroad, etc. would be conducted through Internet, at
the same time when the Written Test is conducted for Officers within the Country;
ii) Conduct of Written Test through Internet can also be done in respect of Officers who
are within the Country but not at the Head Quarters (like sponsorship for Higher
Studies; granted Study Leave, posted at Outstations etc.). Alternatively, such
candidates can be called to attend the Written Test at the nearest Division / Office;
iii) Interview of Officers sponsored for Higher Studies aboard, granted Study Leave to
pursue courses abroad, posted abroad etc. would be done at the same time as that of
their counterparts within the Country, through Video Conferencing;
iv) Interview of Officers in the category at (ii) will also be conducted through Video
Conferencing. If Video Conferencing facilities are not available, they can be called to
the Division / Office for attending the Interview.
65
v) Promotion Orders in respect of Officers sponsored for Higher Studies or granted Study
Leave (both abroad & within the Country) and who are selected for promotion would be
issued only after they join back duty in the Division / Office, as specified in the Rules.
Requisite number of vacancies for promoting such selected Officers would be kept aside
by the Division / Office also, as specified. Promotion Orders in respect of Officers who
are posted abroad & selected for promotions will be issued alongwith their counterparts
within the Country. There will be no change in effecting the promotions in respect of
Officers who are being considered for promotion under CPP.
18.9 Officers should be confirmed in their existing Grade for consideration for promotion to
the next higher Grade.
18.10 In some cases, Officers who were sponsored to pursue higher studies could not be
considered for promotion to the next higher Grade as they had not been confirmed in
their existing Grade as on the date of eligibility for promotion. The issue has arisen due
to administrative delay in issuance of promotion orders. Further, Officers who are
sponsored for higher studies during the period of probation has to complete the balance
period of probation after they join back the Division. In other words, the period of study
/ sponsorship is not considered for the purpose of probation. Similarly, promotion
orders of the Officers who are sponsored for higher studies can only be issued after
they join back for duties and their probation will start thereafter, on assumption of
charge. In such cases, the following system need to be adopted:
To assess the suitability of such Officers for promotion after their confirmation in the
existing Grade, from the next earliest available date of promotion, along with other
fresh Officers due on that date, on fulfilling the other requisite criteria, against the
vacancies available as on the date of assessment. If found suitable, they will be
considered for promotion with ante dated seniority, from the original due date. Financial
benefits will be given only from the date of assumption of charge of the higher post.
Sample cases are indicated below:
Case I
66
Case II
Case III
Note: In all the above cases, Financial Benefits will be given from the actual date of
assumption of charge of the promoted post.
Officers who are due for promotion under CPP will be assessed wef the original due date
of promotion. However, promotion orders will be issued after their confirmation in the
existing Grade. Seniority will be reckoned wef the original due date of promotion.
Financial benefits will be granted wef the date of assumption of charge of the higher
post only (i.e after confirmation).
18.11 Grant of Financial Benefits in respect of Officers sponsored for Higher studies, whose
promotion orders were issued after they joined back for duties on completion of the
sponsorship:
i) Promotion Orders in respect of Officers who are Sponsored / Deputed for Higher Studies
would be issued only after they join back for duties, w.e.f the original due date of
promotion, with Seniority & Financial Benefits, provided promotion of other Officers in
the Division / Office were effected on the due date of promotion itself [i.e issuance of
Promotion Order on or before 1st Jan / 1st July];
ii) If normal promotions in a year have been effected later than the actual due date of
Promotion and Officers in the Divisions / Offices have been extended Financial Benefits
w.e.f the actual date of assumption of charge, Financial Benefits in respect of the
Officers Sponsored / Deputed would also be extended from the date from which the
benefits were extended to the other Officers who were in the Divisions / Offices. An
illustrative case is as under:
67
a) Date of release from the Division for higher studies : 16.7.11
iii) In any year, if effecting promotions is delayed due to administrative reasons and
Financial Benefits are extended w.e.f the actual due date of promotion, the same would
also be applicable in respect of the Officers Sponsored / Deputed for Higher Studies by
the Company;
iv) In respect of Officers of the categories covered in para 18.10, instructions contained in
the said para will be applicable.
19. OFFICERS WHO COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR PROMOTION DUE TO NON -
AVAILABILITY OF VACANCIES OR NOT FOUND SUITABLE BY THE SELECTION
COMMITTEE
19.1 Officers who qualify for promotion w.e.f. 1st July under IMS / DPC, but are not promoted
on account of lack of vacancies, can be considered for selection for promotion w.e.f. 1st
January of the subsequent year, under the same mode, against vacancies arising w.e.f.
1st January of the subsequent year, along with fresh candidates who would become
eligible w.e.f. that date. Similarly, Officers who qualify for promotion w.e.f. 1st January
under IMS / DPC, but are not promoted on account of lack of vacancies, can be
considered for selection for promotion w.e.f. 1st July of the same year, under the same
mode, against vacancies arising w.e.f. that date, alongwith fresh candidates who would
become eligible we.f. that date. The promotions will be effected subject to meeting
other stipulated requirements.
19.2 Officers who fail in the selection for promotion under IMS / DPC w.e.f. 1st January / July
will not be eligible to be considered for promotion under the same mode w.e.f. the
subsequent 1st July / January respectively. However, Officers who fail in the selection
for promotion under IMS w.e.f. 1st January / July will be eligible to be considered under
DPC w.e.f. the subsequent 1st July / January respectively, provided they are otherwise
eligible for DPC w.e.f. that date and meet the stipulated requirements.
68
20. SUPERCESSION OF SC/ST EMPLOYEES IN PROMOTION
As per rules, Orders of Reservation are applicable for effecting Promotions to posts in
the Lowest Rung of Group-A (i.e Grade-II in HAL). Promotion to posts in Grade-II is
effected under IMS Mode also where reservation is applicable as these promotions are
effected based on sanctioned vacancies and performance in Written Test / Interview.
21.2 The Committee will draw up a panel of selected candidates in the order of merit /
seniority, as the case may be. These select panels (Promotion / Internal Merit
Selection) are valid for a period of one year from the date of meeting of the selection
committee and not from the date of approval of the recommendations of the Selection
Committee by the Appointing Authority.
21.3 Although the Appointing Authority will as a rule, pay due regard to the
recommendations of the Departmental promotion committee, the Committees are
purely advisory bodies and the responsibilities for granting promotions and making
appointments are that of the Appointing Authority only.
22. APPEALS
69
23. PROBATION AND CONFIRMATION
i) Every Officer promoted to the higher Grade either by Departmental Promotion / Internal
Merit Selection / Career Plan Promotion will be on probation in that Grade for a period
ONE YEAR from the date they assume charge of the higher post;
ii) If the Officer does not acquire the standards required of him or his conduct and work
are considered unsatisfactory during the period of probation, the period of probation
may be extended at the discretion of the Appointing Authority. The reasons for
extending the period of probation are to be communicated to the Officer concerned in
writing. The Officer will be treated as on probation till they are confirmed. The Officer is
deemed as confirmed in their post, only if they are intimated to that effect in writing;
iii) In the case of Officers in Grade-I and above, the period of probation is to be closely
watched and monitored by the appropriate Initiating, Reviewing Authority. Deficiencies
found, if any, should be communicated in writing to the probationer concerned and this
should be indicated in the Sixth / Eleventh monthly probationary reports;
v) In the cases where the period of probation is extended, the Officer whose probation has
been extended will lose the seniority by a period equivalent to the period by which the
probation was extended. The due date of increment will also be postponed in the event
of extension of probation period. The revised due date of increment thereafter will be
reckoned with reference to the actual date of confirmation;
vi) Cases of Officers who are unable to perform duties during their probation satisfactorily,
on account of long sickness / deputation / study leave will be considered on merits
individually;
vii) In the case of an Officer who is charge-sheeted or whose conduct is under investigation
or against whom a CBI / Criminal case is registered, during probationary period, his
confirmation in the post to which he was promoted, kept in abeyance till the conclusion
of the proceedings initiated against him. If they are fully exonerated of the charges,
they may be confirmed in the post from the due date, if their performance was
otherwise satisfactory during the probationary period. In case the Officer is found
guilty, appropriate punishment commensurate with the gravity of charges has been
imposed, the fact that the Officer continues to be on probation should also be taken into
account while deciding about the penalty to be imposed.

24. INCREMENTS FOR OFFICERS
24.1 One notional increment @ 3% of the basic Pay in the pre-promoted Scale will be added
to the Basic Pay drawn in the pre-promoted Scale as on the date of Promotion. The
resultant amount will be rounded up to the next multiple of Rs.10/-. In case amount so
arrived at is less than the minimum of the promoted Scale, the pay will be fixed at the
minimum of the promoted Scale. Other existing provisions for pay fixation on promotion
(like re-fixation on the date of Annual Increment) would continue to be applicable.
a) Pay would be fixed in the promoted Scale with effect from the date of promotion after
reckoning the Annual Increment, if any, which would be due on that date in the pre-
promoted scale;
b) In case where the date of promotion and the date of Annual Increment do not coincide,
the pay would be re-fixed on the date on which the Officer would have drawn his Annual
increment in the pre-promoted scale, as if the Officer was promoted w.e.f. that date,
after reckoning the Annual Increment which would have been due to him as on that
date in the pre-promoted Scale had he not been promoted earlier. His next Annual
Increment would be due after one year from the date of such re-fixation of pay;
c) In case the pay on re-fixation as at para (b) above comes to the same stage in the
promoted Scale as was the pay fixed originally as at Para (a) above, re-fixation of pay
as at Para (b) is not to be done. In such a case, the Officer concerned would draw his
next Annual Increment after one year from the original date of promotion;
d) With the introduction of the above system for fixation of pay on Promotion, the system
of permitting Officers to postpone the date of joining on promotion, upto a maximum of
three months from the date of promotion, in order to derive the benefit of Annual
Increment, if any, due within this period of three months in pay fixation on promotion,
stands withdrawn;
e) The above methodology of pay fixation on Promotion was effected from 1.01.97.
Example
In cases of Officers promoted w.e.f. 1st July of the year, whose Annual Increment before
Promotion was due on 1st January, the Pay on Promotion would initially be fixed w.e.f.
1st July. Thereafter, the Pay would be re-fixed w.e.f. 1st January of the next year (i.e.
date of Annual Increment in the pre-promoted Grade, as if he was promoted from that
date), provided the re-fixation would be beneficial. Such re-fixation of pay w.e.f. 1st
January is not to be construed as grant of ‘Annual Increment’. The first Annual
Increment in the promoted Grade will be granted w.e.f. 1st January of the subsequent
year, provided the Officer is confirmed in the promoted Grade effective from 1st January
of the year or earlier. Otherwise, the Annual Increment will be granted w.e.f. 1st of the
month (after January) from which he is confirmed.
71
24.3 Annual Increments in the respective Time Scales of pay will accrue to the employees
automatically, unless it is withheld or postponed in the following circumstances:
i) As a penalty imposed in accordance with the HAL Conduct, Discipline and Appeal Rules
as a punishment;
ii) As a result of leave without pay exceeding 15 days in a year reckoned from the date of
last increment.
24.4 Where penalty is imposed, the orders imposing penalty are to indicate the period for
which the increment is postponed and whether it is to have cumulative effect or not.
24.5 The first spell of leave without pay, taken by an employee shall not result in
postponement of his increment. Any further leave without pay availed by the employee
will result in postponement of his increment.
24.6 In case of postponement of increment due to leave without pay exceeding 15 days in a
year, the increment will be postponed during the 1st year. In the subsequent year the

26. GRANT OF PERSONAL SCALES OF PAY TO OFFICERS IN GRADE-III to VI NOT
POSSESSING REQUISITE EDUCTIONAL QUALIFICATION FOR PROMOTIONS
26.1 Every year on a selective basis, higher Scales of Pay are granted to a limited number
(maximum of six only) of Officers in Grade-III to VI, who do not possess the requisite
minimum educational qualification prescribed for promotion, as personal to them in the
existing posts, subject to the following conditions:
b) they should not possess the prescribed minimum educational qualification for
promotion to the next higher post;
c) they should have put in a minimum of 4 years of service in their existing grade;
d) they should have been rated at least “ABOVE AVERAGE” in the Performance
Appraisal Reports consistently during the last four years;
e) this benefit should be admitted only once during the career of the Officer;
f) the Management may at its discretion revert the Officer who was granted the
higher scale of pay as personal to him to the lower scale of pay, if the Officer
does not maintain the requisite standards of performance on the job;
g) the Officer granted higher scale of pay as personal to him will continue to hold
the post in the lower scale which he was holding prior to grant of higher scale of
pay on a personal basis and will enjoy all the benefits applicable to the higher
scale including seniority.
26.2 PROCEDURE
i) Employees fulfilling the conditions of eligibility are called for interview by the
Departmental promotion Committee at Corporate Office on a selective basis. Based on
their performance on the job as reflected in their Performance Appraisal Reports and
their performance in the Interview, the Departmental Promotion Committee will select
Officers who are considered meritorious enough to be granted the next higher Scale of
Pay as personal to them. The names of Officers cleared by the Departmental Promotion
Committee for grant of higher Pay Scale as personal to them under this procedure
would be interpolated in the select list (panel) for promotion in the concerned discipline.
Orders of promotion will be issued granting them higher Scales of Pay when the Officer
junior to him in the select panel is to be promoted to the higher Grade on a regular
basis.
74
27. REMOVAL OF SALARY DISPARITIES ON PAY FIXATION – OFFICERS
In order to remove disparity in pay of Senior Officers who draw less pay than their
Junior Officers who are promoted at a later date, the pay of the Senior Officers should
be stepped up to equal that of the pay fixed for the Junior Officer promoted
subsequently. The stepping up should be done with effect from the date of promotion
of the Junior Officer subject to the following conditions:
i) Both the Senior and the Junior Officer should belong to the same discipline / sub-
discipline as the case may be before and after promotion;
ii) Both Senior and the Junior Officer should have been promoted from the same Scale to
the higher identical Scale;
iii) The disparity in pay between the Senior and the Junior Officer should have arisen
directly as a result of the application of normal pay fixation Rules and not attributable to
extraneous factors such as Junior having received any advance increments at the time
of appointment or deferment of increment on account of absence without pay etc;
iv) On the date of promotion of the Senior Officer from the lower Grade, the Senior should
have been receiving equal or higher pay, as compared to that of the Junior employee
who was promoted subsequently;
v) The subsequent date of increment of the Senior Officer would be reckoned with effect
from the date on which his pay was stepped up to equal that of the Junior. This would
not, however, alter their inter-se-seniority in the higher Grade which would be reckoned
with reference to the respective dates of appointment to the higher Grade;
vi) This disparity in pay should not have arisen between the Junior and the Senior officer as
a result of appointment of either of them through open selection;
vii) The rules of stepping up of pay would not apply to (i) cases of disparity, if any, arising
between promoted Officers and Officers appointed through open selection; and (ii)
cases of disparity, if any, arising as a result of fixation of pay of Junior in the revised
Scale of pay as compared to the Senior in the pre-revised Scale of pay;
27.2 Decided to permit comparison for the purpose of stepping up of pay with any Junior
Officer in the same Grade, in the Division / Complex / Company (depending on the
Grade), irrespective of their discipline / sub-discipline. Officers promoted to Grade-VII
and above can continue to make the said comparison on a company wide basis. Those
promoted to Grades-IV, V & VI can make the comparison within the Complex only. In
respect of Officers promoted to Grade-II and III, the comparison is to be restricted
within the Division / Office concerned.
27.3 Such adjustment of pay is to be effected on the basis of representations, if any, made
in this behalf by the concerned Officer within a period of one year from the date such
disparity in pay has occurred.
27.4 Since the rules on fixation of pay on promotion are the same for any channel of
promotion i.e., DPC or IMS or open selection, if an Officer is promoted to the higher
Grade through open selection and gets less pay than his Junior promoted subsequently
or if an Officer promoted through DPC gets less pay than his Junior promoted through
open selection, stepping up of pay of the Senior should be allowed provided other
conditions for stepping up of pay are fulfilled.

the date of his absorption in the company. The seniority of Officers on deputation who
are appointed to posts in the higher Grade on an officiating basis, is to be reckoned with

employees in Direct Trade vis-à-vis the employees in the Direct Trades to which the re-
trained employees are transferred will be reckoned as follows:-

Workmen retrained/transferred will be kept as a separate block;
ii) If a vacancy in the higher Group in the concerned Direct Trade to which surplus
personnel were (retrained) transferred is notified for filling up by promotion, eligible
retrained/ transferred Workmen may also apply and will be considered for promotion, if
found suitable;
iii) If the notified post is filled by Promotion of existing Workmen junior to the
retrained/transferred Workmen, the latter will be promoted to the higher Group as
supernumerary, if he is also cleared for promotion to the higher Group;
iv) The resultant vacancy in the lower Group will be kept unfilled so long as the
retrained/transferred employee is holding the supernumerary post;
v) Re-trained /transferred Workmen who are thus held supernumerary in the higher Group
will be adjusted against Direct Recruitment quota or regular vacancies in that
Trade/Group as and when occurring.
Services rendered by employees on contract in the company will be reckoned for the
purpose of fixing their seniority in the respective Grade after their appointment on a
regular basis.
The seniority of an employee demoted/ reverted to the lower Grade/ Group shall, in the
case of an employee directly recruited to the higher Grade/ Group, be reckoned from
the date of his appointment to the higher Grade/ Group and in the case of an employee
promoted/ appointed to the higher Grade/ Group from the lower Grade/ Group from the
date of his original appointment to the lower Grade/ Group to which he has
subsequently been demoted
