ORDER:
As per Rule 8(2) of the Tamil Nadu Revised Scales of Pay Rules, 2009 as
notified in the Government Order first read above, the option shall be exercised by
the employees to come over to the revised scales of pay within three months from
the date of publication of the Rules / Notification.
2) As per the clarification issued in the Government letter second read above,
employees have been permitted to exercise re-option within a period of three months
from the date of issue of clarification or orders revising the scales of pay, grant of

made by individual employees / Employees Associations that several employees
failed to accrue the full benefit of the Pay Commission revision due to exercising of
the option date wrongly and deprived of the benefits. The Pay Grievance Redressal
Cell has recommended that employees may be given final opportunity for exercising
re-option as a one time measure in cases where option could not be exercised within
the time limit due to the delayed reach of instructions issued by Government and
also to cover the implementation of any of the recommendations of the Committee,
the Government accepts and that such re-option should not be in any case lead to
fixation of a lower pay than what has already been fixed.
3.) After careful examination, the Government has decided to implement the
above recommendation of the Pay Grievance Redressal Cell. Accordingly,
Government direct that in exercise of the powers conferred under Rule, 12 of the
Tamil Nadu Revised Scales of Pay Rules, 2009, accord permission to the employees

option could not be exercised within the time limit to the advantage of the individual
employees. However, such re-option should not be in any case lead to fixation of
