Illustration - I:

 When a Medical Officer has worked in 2 years 8 months 23 days in Difficult Hill area, Incentive Marks will be awarded for 2 years.

Illustration- II:

 If a medical officer works in different areas for different periods (Incentive marks allotted areas) with completed year and fractionalized months, the following methodology is applied for calculating incentive marks: "X" works in difficult hill area for 5 months, 20 days, in his next postings he works in difficult plain for a period of 1 year, 5months, 5 days and in another postings he works for 7 months, 3 days respectively as on 31.03.2022. 

Total incentive years = 1 completed year in difficult plain plus 17 months (5 months in Difficult Hill+ 5 months in Difficult plain+ 7 months in Rural). 12 months = 1 year. Rest of the 5 months (Least incentive mark area) will be left, since fractionalized months will not be accounted for calculating marks.  

Illustration III:

 From service rendered in incentive work station, when there is shortage for a completed year in incentive places and days are more than 30 days, marks will be awarded as follows:  

In 38 days, 30 days is added to 4 months, since the Medical Officer worked more number of days in rural area i.e. 20 days.
