Sir,
I was working in BEL (A cental govt. PSU) as Manger(Pay Scale 29100-54000). My basic pay was 39660/-.I had applied for the post of DGM in BSNL through proper channel as it was a mandatory condition for candidates working in Govt./Other PSUs.I was selected in BSNL as DGM(Pay scale 32900-58000).In appointment letter there is no mention of pay protection. I had given representation regarding pay protection but I have not received any reply from BSNL.On follow up I was told verbally that matter is still under consideration and no decision has been taken yet.In the mean time I joined BSNL. The firts salary I have recived in which my basic Pay is Rs.32900/- . Kindly let me Know wheather I am eligible for pay protection or not. Also,Kindly suggest some rules based on which I can give representation again for pay fixation protecting my pay in previous PSU.

Normally there should be pay protection in such cases. Otherwise it makes no sense for a person to switch a job from one PSU to another.
But, since BSNL itself is taking so much time to confirm the position, I am afraid you would be earning one more increment in the existing PSU!

If the posting is restricted to the departmental staff,protection of pay is to be given.If it was open to outsiders also,you cannot expect pay protection since it was made on merits and new pay scakes applicable for the post is entitled.
