Primary school teacher will get 4200/- GP but one accountant will get 2800/- GP .It is not good fixation of Govt..Becuase one primary teacher qualification is +2 with teaching trainig but one accountant qualification is B.Com.That's why accountnat scale should be more than one primary teacher.

sir, am a tax assistant in income tax deptt selected through staff selection commision whose required qualification is graduate with computer proficiency in the grade pay of Rs.2400 only. Tax Assistants are the most sufferers and neglected categories in this 6th CPC. So why govt is not at all worried about this poor fellows as their job responsibilities, work load as well as job status are much raised now-a-days. No union/associations are trying hard to bring the equilibrium position of their work load with pay status. So kindly requesting to examine the matter for these neglected categories. Regards.

I am working in an organisation under MHA as PAa. I was in the pay scale of Rs.5,500 and it was drawing a basic of Rs.7,600 as on 1.1.2006. May pay was fixed in the grade pay of 4200. whether I will get Rs. 4,600 as grade pay w.e.f. 1.1.2006. Some say that our organisation is not eligible for it. Please confirm it and reply. Moreover, I would like to know that in case they give us Rs. 4,600 grade pay what would be my basic pay as on 1.1.2006. I have also got my ACP from 1.9.2008.
