2. It’s brought to your kind notice that there are vast gap between PB3 & PB4 also PB1, & also in other Pay Bands. The following fact is brought to your kind notice for suitable remedy to regulate the anomalies in fixation of Pay & GP between PB3 & PB4 from 1-1-2006 and adjust the same proportionately in the interest of “Natural Justice” as many Senior Officers in the PB3 also other categories of staff affected their proportionate share when compared to PB4 as follows:
1) Rs .5,500 x 1.69 = Rs. 9,300 B2
2) Rs .8,500 x 1.95 = Rs.15,600 B3
3) Rs.14,300 x 2.74 = Rs.39,200 B4
3. The Government of India have issued orders implementing recommendations of Sixth Pay Panel Report with effect from 1-1-2006. As agreed by the GOI, the average benefits to all categories of posts are in the range of about 40% increase in emoluments and on promotion an increase of 3% of basic Pay plus Grade Pay will be taken on promotion to higher post.. This increase of about 100% to 300% in many cases benefitted only to PB4 when compared to pre-revised Pay & allowances prior to 1-1-2006. There is wide gap in the revised Pay between PB3 & PB4 also in other Pay Bands. The following simple statement as per Fitment Table speak for itself, the wide gap between PB3 & PB4:
Rs. 15,200 (S-19) -------------- Rs.34,880 + increased GP
Rs. 15,000 (S-20) -------------- Rs.35,550 + increased GP
Rs. 15,100 (S-24) -------------- Rs.47,230 + increased GP
Rs. 15,100 (S-25) -------------- Rs.48,390 + increased GP
Rs. 15,200 (S-28) -------------- Rs.48,530 + increased GP

4. If you look at the above statement for a pre-revised basic pay in the pay range of Rs.15,000/- there is vast difference in the revised pay fitment. The gap should be reduced drastically from 1-1-2006 based on length of service one put in a category etc. In many cases. Senior Officers put in more than 30 years of Service getting less emoluments/Pension when compared to many junior Officers after implementation of Sixth Pay Panel Report from 1-1-2006. The suggestion to Govt. is that length of Service in a category coupled with duties & responsibilities should be given its due weight-age to relieve heart-burning among Senior Officers of Non-IAS cadre and similarly placed Officers in other Ministries. In many cases the increase in emoluments ranging about more than 100% to 300% in PB 3 & PB 4 posts. Due weight age should be given to PB 3 category with effect from 1-1-2006
5. The picture of fair salary would be incomplete without taking length of service in a category/post contribution of his similarly placed fellow colleagues (generalists in Administration other than Scientists) at next level of hierarchy into account and their fitment table should also be increased proportionately to a fair level . After all it’s a team management/work disparity, skills, individual and collective performance and adequate internal communication and collective bargaining on salary issues. When many are paid very lesser pay & perks, they have a tendency to work with heart-burning. The Seventh Pay Panel should consider this aspect with open mind to reduce vast gap between PB 3 and PB4 and it should be rectified or adjusted from 1-1-2006 in the interest of “Natural Justice” In Tamil Nadu State, the Govt. have constituted an Administrative Reforms Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. Justice A..K. Rajan, Retd. Judge of Madras High Court to ensure corruption free and transparent Administration & also to go into the implementation of various provisions of RTI Act, 2005. The Committee submitted in its final Report among others recommended an EXCELLENT Recommendations in its Report in para 22.01 “Rules shall be modified prescribing minimum Service at all Levels, periodical promotion (like IAS cadre) may be given to all category” The 7th Pay Panel may consider this suggestion to all categories of staff & also proportionately regulate the gap uniformly to all categories from 1-1-2006 or atleast notionally and recommend for revised Pay structure from 1-1-2016 accordingly.
6. The greatness of Model Employer i.e. Government lies only in its courage and ability to correct the mistakes. Justice is more precious than discipline.
