    4.9.1    In cases of Employees, who were undergoing punishment of postponement of increment and reduction in pay on 1 April 1997, their pay shall be fixed as if they were not undergoing such punishment and the effect of punishment would be enforced in the Revised Scales of Pay 1997.  In regard to Employees undergoing the punishment of reduction in rank on 1 April 1997, their pay shall be fixed both in the lower and higher ranks and on expiry of the punishment, their pay would be drawn as fixed in the higher ranks.
