Order:
Background:
In G.O.Ms.No.105 (2011), Government accorded pay protection under FR 22(a)(iv) to employees from local bodies who were later selected to Government service via APPSC/DSC on or after 10.12.2004, with monetary benefits applicable from 02.06.2011.
Further Extension in 2014:
As per G.O.Ms.No.45 (2014), the same pay protection benefit was extended to those appointed between 02.06.2011 and 31.12.2013, with monetary benefit from 19.02.2014.
Representation in 2018:
The Andhra Pradesh Secretariat Association requested that the 2018 batch Assistant Section Officers (ASOs) from local body services, particularly teachers, also be granted the same pay protection benefits as earlier batches.
Government Decision:
After careful review, the Government decided to amend G.O.Ms.No.105 (2011) by removing the phrase in paragraph (6):
“and who are continuing in Government service as on today”
This amendment broadens eligibility for pay protection without limiting it to employees who are still in service on a particular date.
By Order and in the Name of the Governor of Andhra Pradesh

Secretary to Government (Finance & Planning)
Distribution:
Copies forwarded to all departments of Secretariat, Accountant General (A.P.), Pay & Accounts Officer, A.P. Secretariat Service Association, Heads of Departments, District Treasury Officers, APGENCO/TRANSCO, APSRTC, District Educational Officers, Municipal Commissioners, and other concerned authorities.
Key Takeaway:
The amendment removes the restrictive clause, ensuring wider coverage of pay protection benefits for eligible employees from local bodies who join Government service through APPSC/DSC, regardless of their current service status.
If you want, I can also prepare a crisp notification-style version suitable for attaching in a circular or office order so departments can directly circulate it.
