Dear friend,
Your concern about the next increment of the individual pales into insignificance as his case is that of double jeopardy. That's he stands punished twice for the same misconduct. The question here is not that the punishment of reduction in two stages of his time scale of pay is excessive. But the disciplinary authority treated the period of suspension also as punishment. On the contrary, the suspension period pending enquiry should have been regularised and he should have been paid the entire salary minus the amount of subsistence allowance already received in view of final punishment of reduction in pay by two stages. Thus it amounts to double punishment which is illegal. The employee can prefer an appeal, if there is such a provision or go to Labor Court by raising a dispute u/s 2(k) of the ID Act through his trade union , if he is a workman or to a Civil Court.

He was reduced to the basic pay of Rs. 13075 w.e.f. 10.11.17 but before suspension he had served one month and 4 days. So on reinstatement he has to serve the remaining period of approx. 11 months and from 1st October 2018 he would be entitled to the next increment, fixing his basic pay to be Rs. 13730/-. Thereafter his increment would be regulated w.e.f. 1st October every year.
As regards the point of double punishment pointed out by Umakanthan Sir, the applicable rules in certain organisations have a provision for the disciplinary authority to decide whether for the suspension period any payment other than the subsistence allowance already paid is allowed. Banks, I understand, have this Rule.
If more clarity is needed in the matter, pl enclose the rules regarding drawal of increment.
