MONTH  The period from a specific date to the previous day of the same date in the next month is called a month Example : January 02 to February 01 January 31 to February 28/29 Example:01 Calculate the date of 1 year, 5 months and 18 days from 24-05-2016 ? First Year is counted -      23-05-2017 Secondly Month is counted - ( 5 Months) 23-10-2017 Thirdly 18 days                         -  10-11-2017  Example 02 25-10-2014 - 18-04-2019  is a leave period .

 The Fund , utilization right of which rests with the body that raises the fund is called a Local Fund Example : University Fund/ municipal fund/ Panchayat Fund etc

 Lien  Is a right of the officer in his lower post (substantive) when he is promoted or otherwise to a new post.

 Joining Time Joining time constitutes Journey Time plus Preparation Time (if applicable, preparation time is not an everyday affair, and allowed in certain conditions only)in the case of a Transfer.

 Accepting pay and allowances from a fund other than Government Fund and discharging duties in an entity whose fund is not treated as Govt Fund is called with due Government permission is called a Foreign Service. Not to be confused as serving a foreign country. This is possible only when prior Government sanction is obtained by the officer. Ex. If a DySP in the Kerala Police Department chooses to accept the post of Chief Security Officer of Titanium Products, Tvm , his salaries and allowances are met from the said corporate fund and not from the Consolidated Government Fund. In this case he is said to be in Foreign Service 

  SOME DEFENITIONS/EXPLANATIONS  IN KSR 1. APPRENTICE 2. HONORARIUM 3.  FEE 4. DAY 5. SPECIAL PAY  6. PERSONAL PAY 7. COMPENSATORY ALLOWANCE 8. CADRE 9. Lien 10. Local fund 11. Month 12. Foreign Service

 Is paid out of CONSOLIDATED/GEN/ PUBLIC Fund for special duties which normally do not form part of their routine duty Ex. Departmental Exam valuation, Election Duty, Census Duty etc.

 Fee is the sum distributed out of any fund other than CONSOLIDATED FUND / PUBLIC FUND/GENERAL FUND Consolidated fund means Vehicle Tax, Land Tax etc.  The exchequer receives other funds such as University Fund etc. which is not a typical Govt fund. Govt is only a custodian of such a Fund. If a University professor receives paper valuation fee out of University Fund, it is an example of FEE.

A day is counted as  12.00 am to 12.00 pm  FOR CALCULATION OF DAILY ALLOWANCE If his absence is less than 24 hrs, without considering the time of beginning of absence and end of absence, it is counted as JUST ONE DAY But if an officer stays away from his quarters for less than 24 hrs, its just calculated as one day. An officer traveled from Kottayam to Thiruvananthapuram on 7 th July afternoon and reached his destination at 5.00 pm on the same day. He stayed in Tvm up to 8th July 1.00 pm . His stay : 5.00 pm to 12.00 am (July 7)= 7.00 hours  12.00 am to 1.00 pm (July 8) = 13.00 hours  In normal cases , if stay is more than 6 hours but less than 12 hours he is eligible for 1/2 Daily Allowance and for more than 12 hours but less than 24 hours for one Daily Allowance. But in this case, he is eligible for one DA only as his stay is less than 24 hours.( 20 hrs in this case )

Case 1. Additional responsibility of a higher post  Case 2. Additional responsibility of any other nature  Special Pay is now allowable only in the above case 1. All other cases, Special Allowance is allowed with specific rates in the Pay Revision order of 2016 (Case 2) Special Allowance ranges between 60/- and 4000/- pm

 Additional pay to compensate a fall in Basic Pay not due to any disciplinary action. This is allowed only up to the stage where the difference is fully compensated. Example.  An officer was drawing a 57440/- as BP in 40640-57440 scale. The post is abolished and he is absorbed into another post with a scale 36140-49740. As per Rules his new pay is ordinarily fixed at 49740/- which is the maximum in the new scale. But he was drawing 57440/- which is not in his current scale of pay. His last salary of 57440/- needs to be protected , salary will not decrease in any normal event except in case of disciplinary demotion etc.  Hence 7700/- is allowed as Personal Pay to compensate this loss. This Personal Pay portion decreases with the rise in the pay.

 Eg: TA, DA, HRA etc are examples

Belonging to a segment of class or division based on certain criteria . Example : Executive, ministerial , non-gazetted executive , non gazetted ministerial cadre etc

  An apprentice is a trainee on consolidated pay usually called stipend  as decided by the govt from time to time.     

A Brief History of KSR W hen Kerala was formed in 1956, the following Rules existed which were applicable for the State Govt servants serving at that time viz,  (1) The Travancore Service Regulations,  (2) The Cochin Service Regulations and  (3) The Fundamental Rules (Madras), the Madras Pension Code and the Madras Manual of special Pay and Allowances.  The need for a unified code was obvious. It is stated in the Constitution of India that every state government shall form appropriate rules to govern service conditions of their respective services (PART XIV, CHAPTER 01 , ART. 309). Accordingly the Kerala LA passed the 19th Act of 1968 viz, Kerala Public Service Act 1968 , based on which KSR was validated which came into being in 10.11.1959 Applicability of KSR as a whole -Rule 2 Only to those in the whole time employment of the Government. Thus in general other categories are not bound by KSR But before the Kerala Public Service Act 1968 (Act  19 of 1968 )was pa...
