With the introduction of Grade Pay system in 6th CPC. the 4th scales of actually drawn by Superintendents, Postmasters etc. were wrongly shown in the annexure to Circular O.M. in F.No.38/37/08- P&PW(A) dated 28.1.2013 comparatively with Lower Scales of 5th CPC drawn by their subordinate cadres. This item was raised as Item No.1 as seen from the Minutes copy enclosed. It was mistook by the administration as of MACP issue and closed it with a reply not connected to the item raised. The GOI in its Notification dated 25.7.2016 upheld and clarified at Sl.No.6 of doubts favorably for application reiterating that there is no question of down gradation of post at any stage and further asserted that pay for the post held should be given.
