Past Tense using Time expression with Have and Had

Which one is correct statement?

  1. Last year also I have not received any increment, or
  2. Last year also I had not received any increment

Both statements are suggesting that one has not received any increment last year. Correct me if I am wrong.

My questions are:

  1. Which sentence is correct?

  2. Is the time expression "Last Year" correct to use in the sentences?

  3. "Had" is used to suggest past of Past. But the second sentence does not suggest that what has happen after he had not received increment?

     E.g. 2013__I have not received increment___2014 (Till the time)______________
          2013__I had not received increment___(Second Past?)___2014 (Till the time)_________
