DEAR SIR,
I AM AN EX SERVICEMEN, RETIRED FROM ARMED FORCES IN 2015 FTER COMPLETION OF INITIAL ENGAGEMENT. I JOIN BANK AS CLERICAL STAFF IN 2015 IN OBC CATEGORY AND THERE WAS NO RESERVATION FOR ESM. I APPLIED FOR FIXATION OF PAY IN LINE WITH THE LAST PAY DRAWN IN PREVIOUS SERVICE. INITIALLY THE HRM AFFIRM AND TOLD TO WAIT FOR SOME TIMES. BUT AT LAST THEY HAD DENIED STATING THAT I WAS NOT SELECTED IN RESERVED SEAT HENCE I SHOULD NOT GET THE PRIVILEDGE OF PAY FIXATION AS OTHER ESM STAFFS DOES. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN STATING I HAVE APPLIED IN ESM CATEGORY WHILE FILLING APPLICATION FORM AND AVAIL THE AGE RELAXATION TOO AND I AM AN EX SERVICEMEN BY DEFFINITION OF EX SERVICEMEN, SO I AM ELIGIBLE FOR THE PAY FIXATION. I EVEN TRIED TO EXPLAIN WITH AN EXAMPLE OF TWO ESMs JOINING THE SAME BANK, ONE IN RESERVED SEAT AND ANOTHER IN GENERAL CATEGORY (BY VIRTUE OF GETTING THE HIGHEST MARK AMONG GENERAL CANDIDATES): NOW WHO WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR PAY PROTECTION!? THE ONE IN RESERVED SEAT OR THE MERITOUS CANDIDATE SELECTED IN GENERAL??. BUT ALL ARE STILL UN-ANSWERED.
SO KINDLY GUIDE ME IN THIS REGARD, THE DOPT GUIDELINES SAYS ESM WHO RE EMPLOYED IN BANKS IN WORKMEN CADRE, NOWHERE IT MENTIONED JOINED IN RESERVED OR UNRESERVED. KINDLY SUGGEST ME AND GIVE REFERNCE OF ANY SUCH COURT VERDICTS IF ANY.
THANKS YOU SIRs.
