Sir, I joined the Central excise department as an Inspector ( Gp- 4600) after technical resignation from my previous post of Asst Accounts Officer (Gp-4800). Now I have applied for pay protection in the grade of Inspector as the starting basic salary of it is 44900 whereas my salary on previous job was 56900. But department is denying to provide pay protection on switching job from higher to lower grade.
There is DoPT letter dated 8th April , 2016 on technical resignation.
