32. If the appointment of an officer who is acting in a vacant office is confirmed, he shall receive the full salary of that office, if available, from the date on which he entered on the duties, but from the date from which he receives such full salary he shall not be entitled to salary on account of any other office which he may have held at the same time.
33. An officer who is promoted in the ordinary course in the Territory in which he is serving shall be eligible to receive the salary of his new scale, grade, or office, if it be available, as from the date when the vacancy occurred, even if he is on leave of absence at the date in question.
34. When the salary of an office is on an incremental scale, the holder shall not be entitled to draw any increment as of right, but only by sanction of the Governor, or other officer authorised by the Governor for the purpose. No formal increment certificate will be required; but it will be the res- ponsibility of the head of department or other authorised officer to review all increments as they become due; to make an appropriate record as to whether or not an increment has been allowed, and to notify the paying authority at least one month before the increment is due in cases where it is proposed that the increment should be deferred, withheld or suspended.
35. Except as otherwise provided an officer's incremental date shall be the date on which he takes up his appointment in the Territory.
In the case of transfer on promotion, the day on which the officer proceeds to take up his new duties will normally be his incremental date.
36. Except in a case of promotion from a non-pensionable to a pensionable office, the following rules shall apply when an officer is promoted in the ordinary course in the Territory in which he is serving to an office carrying salary on an incremental scale:
(i) If immediately prior to his promotion the salary of the officer was less than the minimum of the new office, he shall receive the minimum; but if he was qualifying for increment in his former office and had already earned such an amount of increment as would bring his salary up to the minimum of the scale of his new office, then any balance of the increment in his former scale shall, subject to rule (iv), be taken into account in fixing the date of his first increment in his new scale.
(ii) If his salary was not less than the minimum of the new office he shall, subject to rules (iii) and (iv), continue to receive his existing salary until by length of service at his new incremental rate he has earned such an amount of increment as will bring him to the next higher incremental step in his new scale. But, if he was qualifying for increment in his former office the date of increment in his new scale shall, subject to rule (iv), be advanced proportionately even though
