FIXATION OF BASIC PAY – ANOMALIES
OF THE PAST CENTRAL PAY COMMISSIONS METED OUT TO FAUJIs
We have suffered in our
careers when we found our junior by three years also got the same basic
pay in Jan 1986 when the recommendations of the 4th CPC were implemented by the Govt. This was due to bunching and has amounted to losing three years of seniority as if it has been imposed as
punishment by a Summary Court Martial. The 3rd CPC topped the list by being a General Court
Martial (GCM), by reducing the pension of JCOs and ORs from 70% to 50% in one stroke and by second stroke of 33 year rule, further reduced the pension from 50% to 37.8% of JCOs and ORs.
