COMMON JUDGMENT
(Judgment of the Court was delivered by S.M.Subramaniam J.)

The present batch of intra Court appeals and writ petitions have been instituted questioning the validity of the Government Order issued in G.O.Ms.No.95, Human Resource Management Department dated 26.10.2023. Consequential directions are sought for to sanction advance incentive increment to the appellants / writ petitioners on their acquiring higher educational qualifications with all monetary benefits and arrears of pay.

2. Challenging the common writ order, both Government as well as the writ petitioners have instituted intra Court appeals. Connected writ petitions are also tagged along with the batch of cases. Since the issue raised is common relating to Government Order issued in G.O.Ms.No.95 dated 26.10.2023, all these cases are taken up together and common judgment is passed.

3. The writ petitioners are working in various Government departments in the Government of Tamil Nadu. The erstwhile policy of the Government in vogue would show that advance incentive increments are provided to the Government servants on acquiring higher educational qualification. Since the Government found financial constraints in extending the policy of advance incentive increment a decision was taken to cancel the policy of sanction of advance increments to Government servants for acquiring higher qualification and issued G.O.Ms.No.37 (Personnel and Administrative Reforms (FR-IV) Department dated 10.03.2020.

4. Policy decision was taken and the sanction of advance increments to Government servants was cancelled and it became final. Para 6(vi) of G.O.Ms.No.37 (Personnel and Administrative Reforms (FR-IV) Department dated 10.03.2020, reads as under :

“The cases of Government Servants who have acquired higher qualification prior to the issue of this General Order, and not sanctioned with advance increments be examined separately as per the previous orders issued, if any, by the administrative department concerned with reference to the posts specified in that order and if he/she is otherwise qualified, then the advance increment may be sanctioned by the administrative department concerned after obtaining concurrence of Finance Department. If no previous orders were issued by any of the department concerned, then they are not eligible for sanction of any advance increments for passing higher qualification irrespective of the post held / degree acquired. ”

5. Since several queries were raised between the departments, a clarificatory order was passed in G.O.Ms.No.116 (Personnel and Administrative Reforms (FR-IV) Department dated 15.10.2020. The writ petitioners and the aggrieved writ appellants have mainly relied on clarification Nos.3 and 7 which read thus:
S.No Points raised for clarification Clarification issued
3. Is there any cut-off date for sanctioning advance increment, if a Government servant recruited before 10.03.2020 and acquired the higher qualification or Departmental test (Account test for Sub-ordinate Officers Part – I) before 10.03.2020 and orders sanctioning advance increment was not issued either due to administrative reasons or belated claims by the individuals? Yes. All such cases should be processed immediately either as per para 6(vi) of the Government Order 1st read above or as per the conditions in rulings (3) and (4) under FR 31-A in consultation with Personnel and Administrative Reforms (FR-IV) Department, and orders are to be issued before 31.03.2021.
7. Whether the Government servants who have acquired higher qualification prior to issue of the Government Order 1st read above and not sanctioned with advance increment / not applied for sanction of advance increment by the Government servants are eligible for sanction of advance increment? The cases of Government Servants who have acquired higher qualification prior to the date of issue of the Government Order 1st read above and not sanctioned with advance increment / not applied for sanction of advance increment by the Government servant concerned may be examined separately as per para 6(vi) of the Government Order 1st read above and appropriate orders to be issued before 31.03.2021.

6. Respective learned counsels appearing on behalf of the employees would mainly contend that the cancellation of policy issued in G.O.Ms.No.37 will have prospective effect. Therefore, the applications received based on Para 6(vi) of G.O.Ms.No.37 is to be considered for sanction of advance increments.

7. Contrary to Para 6(vi) of G.O.Ms.No.37 dated 10.03.2020 and the clarificatory order in G.O.Ms.No.116 dated 15.10.2020, the impugned Government Order has been passed in G.O.Ms.No.95, Human Resources Management Department dated 26.10.2023, fixing cut-off date of 10.03.2020, thereby depriving the employees to secure advance increment based on their applications. Incentive increment granted as per old policy was converted as lump sum payment in the impugned G.O.Ms.No.95. Thus, the Government Order resulted in causing discrimination amongst the employees and thus the claim of the employees are to be allowed. The conditions stipulated in the impugned Government Order No.95 causing discrimination is bad in law. The applications submitted under Para 6(vi) of G.O.Ms.No.37 is to be considered for grant of incentive increment as per the old scheme.

8. Per contra, learned Government Counsel would oppose by stating that it is the policy decision taken by the Government to dispense with the sanction of incentive increments to government servants for acquiring higher educational qualifications. The policy decision was taken in G.O.Ms.No.37 dated 10.03.2020 and clarifications are issued in G.O.Ms.No.116 dated 15.10.2020 for considering the applications if any based on G.O.Ms.No.37. Thereafter, the Government found that large number of applications were pending and continuously being received by various departments and in the event of considering the entire applications based on the old policy, the very purpose of cancelling the policy of grant of incentive increment will be defeated.

9. Therefore, while affirming the policy decision taken in G.O.Ms.No.37, the date of Government Order ie., 10.03.2020 is fixed as cut off date. Fixing of cut off date cannot be construed as illegal or improper in view of the fact that the government order dispensing with the policy in G.O.Ms.No.37 was issued on 10.03.2020 so that the applications received prior to the policy decision alone was considered and applications submitted thereafter are not considered and therefore G.O.Ms.No.95 was issued affirming the policy decision cancelling the sanction of advance incentive increment for government servants for acquiring higher educational qualification and cannot be construed as a new policy. G.O.Ms.No.95 fixed a cut off date, which would show that the policy decision is implemented with prospective effect and it is not effected retrospectively. Therefore, the learned Single Judges dismissed the writ petitions while affirming the policy decision of the Government as well as the cut off date fixed, which has a nexus with the policy decision. Thus, the present writ appeals and the writ petitions filed by the government servants are to be rejected and the writ appeals filed by the Government are to be allowed.

10. This Court has considered the rival submissions made by the parties to the lis on hand.

11. Governing legal principles in the context of the facts on hand are that, advance increment is a concession granted to government servants. Concessions are not conditions of service. Such concessions would not constitute a vested right. Policy decisions are taken by the Government and certain concessions are granted to encourage the government employees for better performance of their official duties. Concessions cannot be equated with conditions of service. In the present case, grant of advance increment for acquiring higher educational qualification is a concession.

12. The object of the scheme is to encourage the government employees to acquire higher educational qualification, which which would be of some assistance to them for rendering effective public service.

13. Government announces certain concessions then and there for the welfare of the government employees and to encourage them. Withdrawal of such concession would not constitute a ground to the government employees to claim such concession as a matter of right. In the present case, the scheme of advance increment was cancelled mainly on the ground of huge financial burden. Large number of government employees have acquired higher educational qualification through correspondence courses, distance education courses and different other modes of education from various universities across the country. In present day circumstances, acquiring academic qualification has become easier and therefore the Government realised that grant of advance increment would cause huge financial burden and therefore took a policy decision and cancelled the scheme.

14. Doubts raised by the departments are clarified by the Government in G.O.Ms.No.116 dated 15.10.2020 in respect of the cancellation policy issued in G.O.Ms.No.37 dated 10.03.2020. Subsequently, the Government issued G.O.Ms.No.95 dated 26.10.2023 framing guidelines for grant of lump sum amount for acquiring higher educational qualifications in order to give a quietus to the disputes. Therefore, erstwhile advance increment scheme was modified to that of grant of lump sum to the government employees for acquiring higher educational qualification in terms of G.O.Ms.No.95 dated 26.10.2023. Further, a decision was taken in G.O.Ms.No.95 to deal with the applications pending prior to the issuance of G.O.Ms.No.37. Para 7 of G.O.Ms.No.95 reads as under:

“ 7. Now, it has come to the notice of the Government that substantial number of claims are pending from candidates with higher educational qualifications. Hence, to expeditiously process and bring clarity to the scheme of granting incentive, in partial modification of the orders issued in the Government Order second and third read above and clarifications issued in the Governing Letter fourth read above, the cut-off date for sanction of advance increments for having acquired higher educational qualifications ended and the new scheme of sanction of lumpsum amount is ordered to take effect from 10.03.2020. Thus, the clarification issued in Government Order second read above and the Government Letter fourth read above are harmonized to ensure that, all pending applications as on 10.03.2020 and claims made subsequently for sanction of benefits for having acquired higher educational qualifications shall be disposed as per this new scheme of granting lump sum incentives only and not the earlier scheme of granting increments in salary. This principle would ensure expeditious disposal of all pending claims and also maintain parity and equal treatment between the claims pending as on date and for the persons acquiring higher educational qualifications in future also.”

15. Policy decision as enumerated in G.O.Ms.No.37 dated 10.03.2020, G.O.Ms.No.116 dated 15.10.2020 and G.O.Ms.No.95 dated 26.10.2023 would show that a cut off date for sanction of advance increment was fixed and the scheme was modified to that of grant of lump sum amount to the employees who acquire higher educational qualification. The pending applications are directed to be considered under G.O.Ms.No.95. All the applications pending prior to 10.03.2020 and applications submitted after the above Government Orders will be considered for grant of lump sum in terms of G.O.Ms.No.95. The said position would ensure expeditious disposal of pending claims and will maintain parity on the applications pending as on date and for the persons acquiring higher educational qualification in future also.

16. Therefore, by issuance of G.O.Ms.No.37 dated 10.03.2020 the scheme of sanction of advance increment was cancelled. However, the Government modified the policy and issued G.O.Ms.No.95 granting lump sum amount to the employees who have acquired higher educational qualifications. Pending applications filed prior to 10.03.2020 will also be considered in terms of G.O.Ms.No.95 for grant of lump sum. The concession given was cancelled in G.O.Ms.No.37 dated 10.03.2020 and was modified to grant of lump sum to the employees who have acquired higher educational qualification.

17. Regarding the cut off date fixed by the Government, the constitutional courts reiterated that fixing of cut off date for implementing certain financial concession cannot be construed as illegal. In the present case, grant of advance increment was cancelled in G.O.Ms.No.37 dated 10.03.2020 and the said date is fixed as cut off date, which cannot be said to be infirm. Fixing of cut off date while implementing the pay commission or concessions relating to payment of additional monetary benefits is inevitable and fixation of such cut off dates are recognised by the Courts. The Government Order deals with the pending applications as well as future applications. Therefore, cancellation of the policy of advance increment cannot be said to be in violation of the principles of law.

18. In view of the factual and legal position as discussed above, the writ appeals and review applications filed by the Government of Tamil Nadu are allowed. Writ Petitions and Writ Appeals filed by the employees are disposed of.
