Sir, I m working in a Center Govt. PSU in IDA scale (20600-46500, further will revise w.e.f 01.01.2017) now I m selected for Center Govt. through direct interview conducted by UPSC for pay scale of 9300-34800+GP of 4600/- which is revised w.e.f. 01.01.2016 as Rs. 44900/- basic pay.
I have informed my present employer in writing before applying as per the UPSC's advertisement but NOC was not required.
The below sentence was written in my interview letter regarding pay protection:
“The fact that you have been called for interview by the Commission does not guarantee your selection for appointment or that your demand for a higher starting salary, if any, will be supported by the Commission in case, you are selected for appointment. The initial pay of a candidate already in Central Government Service will be fixed ordinarily in accordance with the rules on the subject.”
Office memorandum of DoPT in this regards is attached herewith.
Will my present pay be protected or not?, if yes, wt will be beneficial for me to join the same before or after 01.01.2017 as my present job pay will be revised w.e.f. 01.01.2017.
Regards
