Illustration - I:
ï‚· 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:
ï‚· 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.
| YEAR | MONTH | DATE | CALCULATION | MARKS AWARDED (%) | |
| Difficult Hill (10%) | 5 | 20 | =(5/12 X 10) | 4.167% | |
| Difficult Plain (9%) | 1 | 5 | 5 | =1 X 9 +(5/12 X 9) | 12.75% |
| Rural (5%) | 7 | 3 | =(2/12 X 5) | 0.833% | |
| Total | 1 | 17 | 28 | 17.75% |
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:
ï‚· 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:
| YEAR | MONTH | DATE | CALCULATION | MARKS AWARDED (%) | |
| Difficult Hill (10%) | 5 | 20 | =(5/12 X 10) | 4.167% | |
| Remote (8%) | 1 | 2 | 8 | =1 X 8 +(2/12 X8) | 9.33% |
| Rural (5%) | 4 | 20 | =(5/12 X 5) | 2.08% | |
| Total | 1 | 11 | 38 | 15.58% |
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.
