Sir,
Sub: Pay Anomaly in implementation of 6 CPC with regard to S24 & S25Pay Scales with same Grade Pay –reg.
Ref: F.No.1/1/2008/IC dated 30/08/2008 issued by Ministry of Finance
I belong to Indian Telecom Service (1986 Batch) and as on 1/1/2006 I was inSGJAG (NFSG) grade with basic pay as Rs.16700 in the old scale (S24) of14300-400-18300. As per the practice so far, the IAS cadre will have same scale as that of other Central Services with an exception of 2 extra increments at the beginning of the scale up to SGJAG (NFSG) level.Accordingly, the 5th CPC has placed SGJAG (NFSG) IAS officers in 15100-400-18300 (S25) Scale, while other services were fixed in 14300-400-18300 (S24) Scale. Further, in 6th CPC also, the benefit of two increments for IAS over other services was proposed and accepted by Government.In view of the above, all officers with basic of Rs.15100 as on 1/1/2006belonging to different services, either in S24 or in S25 should be getting same basic as on 1/1/2006 in revised scales. But, on careful examination of all scales with same Grade Pay, it is found that Rs.15100 basic in old pay of S25 was fixed at Rs.39,690/-, where as the same basic in S24 was fixed at Rs.38,530/- as shown below.S-24 S-25

18300 43390 18300 44700
Because of this anomaly, as my basic was Rs.16700 as on 1/1/2006 (in S24), my pay was fixed as per Ref-1 mentioned above as Rs.40,890/- as on 1/1/2006 in revised scale, while an officer with same basic in S25 (with same Grade Pay) being fixed at Rs.42,120/-Also, a basic of Rs.15900/- in S25 itself was fixed at Rs.40,890/-(with Grade Pay of Rs.8700/-), higher than that of Rs.16700/- basic in S24 with similar Grade of Rs.8700/- after 6CPC.In fact, in the case of Officers of IAS and other Central Services at STS & JAG level belonging to S19 & S20 and S21 & S22 were taken care of without such anomaly. Further, it is also violation of Para 2.2.21 of 6th CPC which states that "It has also been ensured that a person drawing higher basic pay in any Fifth CPC pay scale is not fitted lower vis-a-vis a person drawing a lower basic pay irrespective of the pay scale". As it is "in contravention of the principle or policy enunciated by the Sixth Central Pay Commission itself without the Commission assigning any reason", it is a clear case of anomaly.Hence, I request you to kindly take early action for the re-fixation of my basic as Rs.42,120/- in the revised scale as on 1/1/2006, and redress the anomaly caused to me at an early date, since this increment is carried forward, it will have bearing on almost my entire career/life.
Thanking you in anticipation,
Yours faithfully,

The worse case is here: how an employee belonging to S-24 drawing a basic pay of Rs. 19,100 in the pre-revised scale, could be given a fitment that entitles him to get more salary than an employee drawing the basic pay of Rs. 19,100 but belonging to a higher S-26 category. The same is true with respect to an employee belonging to S-25 who after application of these fitment tables, becomes entitled to a higher salary than an employee belonging to S-26 drawing pre-revised pay scale of Rs. 19,100. Nobody has disputed that S-26 is a higher pay bracket than S-24 and S-25 and ordinarily therefore, a person drawing a pre-revised basic pay of Rs. 19,100 in S-26 should not be fitted in a pay scale which gets him a lower salary than similarly placed persons drawing pre-revised basic pay of Rs. 19,100 in S-24 and S-25. It is conceded by everybody that this is an anomaly. But, the justification for continuing with this anomaly is not forthcoming . Sir if your anomaly is resolved , provide a copy of the same at smkrtomar@gmail.com
