its not much more sir. you can give it on limits and many allowances should be abolished
Dr. M. K. Gajera President In Service Doctor's Federation Gujarat. says
Two scales of 14300-18300 and 14300-22400 under Fifth CPC with the same starting pay was given different starting pay by Sixth CPC with a difference of Rs. 6900/- and in stead of rationalization of it, the said gap is being widened by the Seventh CPC to 25700. With introduction of running pay bands, there was no necessity to have different grade pays for them, as it violates Article 14 of the constitution. The same is being overlooked by the CPCs, and Government of India deliberately.
