Th Jammu and Kashmir School Education Department is likely to withhold ‘Annual Increment’ to the teaching faculty having poor performance in annual regular results of 10th and 12th standard.
Top officials of the department told that the School Education Department has not set any parameters to determine the output of annual regular results of 10th and 12th standard.
“However, we have sought a report from the concerned CEOs about the schools and teaching staff who have not given good output as per the expectation and requirements,” the official said.
It also said that the government will soon make a decision on the issue.
On Tuesday, CEO Kathua said not to release the Annual Increment of any teaching staff whose result is less than 50 percent.
“As the academic session 2022-2023 is over and the result of 8th to 12th classes has been declared and annual increment of most of the teaching staff falls due on July-01-2023,” CEO Kathua said.
The officer accordingly directed the concerned DDOs of School Education Department of district Kathua not to release the Annual Increment of any teaching staff whose ‘result is less than 50 percent till the direction received from the higher authority.”

The CEO has also said that the concerned shall also submit an application for release and sanction of Annual Increment which shall be released on the basis of performance achieved during the academic year 2022-23.
“The DDOs shall adopt same procedure for their subordinate staff and released Annual Increment accordingly,” it reads
