Sir,
I am a permanent employee of Govt. of West Bengal. My present basic pay is Rs. 28,620/- (Band pay Rs. 22,020/- and Grade pay Rs. 6,600/-) in the Pay Band-4A (Rs.15,600-42,000/-).
Recently I have got an offer of appointment from a Central Govt. Undertaking Organisation where IDA pattern exist. The organisation while publishing the advertisement last year mentioned the Grade of the post will be E2A in the scale of pay of Rs. 24,900-50,500/- (IDA). Now, they are offering me the post in the scale of pay of Rs. 60,000-1,80,000/- in E3 as the wage revision has taken effect. In their offer letter they have mentioned that my initial basic pay will be Rs.60,000/- i.e. at the base level of the scale. Before appearing the exam I have been given NOC by my parent organisation.
It is also to mention that wage revision in my parent organisation i.e. in the Govt. of West Bengal is yet to finalise.
Now, if the organisation where I am willing to join would have not revised their pay, according to them my basic pay could have been fixed at the bottom of the scale i.e. Rs. 24,900/-, which is lower than what I receive in my parent organisation. Similarly, if my present organisation revise their scale of pay the pay will definitely be higher than Rs. 60,000/-, which they are offering me.
The main contention of the issue is the wage revision in my parent organisation is yet to finalise, whereas wage revision in the organisation where I am willing to join has given effect and therefore though my Basic Pay will increase but I believe I should have been get more than Rs.60,000/-.
Kindly suggest as to whether I can claim for pay protection and if yes, on what basis/how.
Regards,
Suman Biswas
