(a) both the junior and senior Sailors belong to the same group or branch and the rank to which they have been promoted are identical in the same group or branch.

(b) the existing grade pay and the revised Level in the Pay Matrix of the lower and higher ranks in which they are entitled to draw pay are identical.

(c) the senior Sailor at the time of promotion is drawing equal or more pay than the junior.

(ii) The senior Sailor shall be entitled to the next increment on completion of his required qualifying service with effect from the date of re-fixation of pay.
