Dear sir,I was working in armed forces medical services as a short service commissioned officer Wef 25 April2008.in July 2014 I applied for a post of deputy manager in a psu of MoD,while attending the interview in February 2015 I submitted NOC and pay slip of January 2015.Then on last 31 March 2015 I was released from service after putting7 yrs of service.Surprisingly in September 2015 I got an offer letter from the psu for the applied job asking me to join in November 2015.Now they r offering me pay scale E2 of IDA (20600-3%-46000) with minimum basic of 20600 but when now I am joining I m not in active service..
Can I ask for pay protection as per pay slip(PB3 scale 15600-39000 grade pay 6600,)basic 22950 of January2015 which I submitted during interview.also on the ground that my candidature was as serving candidate.

Yes, your pay can get protected,apply before joining the PSU.
If denied then contact, consult and engage a local lawyer (dealing in service matters) for proper guidance, advise and proceeding.
Alternatively, find out some other "suitable" job and leave this opportunity/organisation.

You can claim protection of pay. On account of NOC of your previous employer, your pay cannot be fixed less than what you were receiving already in your previous post.

Since you have applied for job duly furnishing the NOC from the present employer, you are entitled for pay protection.

Since your past service and future under same ministry you may stand a better chance though there is a break in service. Normally break in service not considered for pay protection and it is a protection measure for serving employees.

Well advised by experts, since you have already obtained NOC and also have submitted your salary slip along with the application form, you may get the pay protection.
