How to Fill Option Form

It is commonly seen that many employees after getting promotion face difficulties in filling up "Option Form". In this post we will see how is the Option Form should be filled after promotion. Let us see how's the Option Form look like:-

                            As you can see in above image there are two points, 1 and 2. If you want your next date of increment from the date of promotion then you have to fill point 1 only. This means that if you get promoted in the month of May and you want to get next annual increment in this month then you fill Point 1 only.
                            If you want to keep the date of annual increment of your lower post then you have to fill Point 2. In this way you can retain your old date of increment.
                             It should be kept in mind that only one point should be filled up. If you have filled both the points at once then your option becomes invalid.
Note: This option can be given only within a month from date of promotion as per Revised pay rules 2009.
