To rationalize the pay scales and bring them under one Pay Band namely, PB-2, all the scales were merged and were brought under the Pay Band of ₹ 7,450-11,500. It is to be noted that those in ₹ 6,500-10,500 were getting the pay in that scale of pay right from 1-1-2006 whereas the others in the pay of ₹ 5,000-8,000 and ₹ 5,500- 9,000 were brought in that pay scales after 1-1-2006. The question that arises for consideration is, whether all the three scales of pay namely ₹ 5,000-8,000, ₹ 5,500-9,000 and ₹ 6,500-10,500 when brought up to PB-2 should get same grade of pay℃ To decide the issue, the Office Memorandum, dated 13-11-2009 of Finance Ministry of Government of India is relevant. Para. 3 of the OM is relevant. It, in short, said that "Grant of the revised pay structure of grade pay of ₹ 4,600 in the Pay band PB-2 to posts that existed in the prerevised scale of ₹ 6,500-10,500 as on 1-1-2006 and which were granted normal replacement pay structure of grade pay of ₹ 4,200 in Pay Band PB-2. Further, in terms of the Memorandum aforementioned provisions of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, in case a post already existed in the pre-revised scale of ₹ 7,450-11,500, the posts being upgraded from the scale of ₹ 6,500-10,500 should be merged in the scale of ₹ 7,450-11,500". From the above, it is evident that employees drawing pay scale of ₹ 6,500-11,500 as on 1-1-2006 to get benefit when merged with the pay scale of ₹ 7,450-11,500 were given the grade pay of ₹ 4,600. But the employees who were on pay scale of ₹ 5,000-8,000 and ₹ 5,500-9,000 after 1-1-2006, were brought on to the pay scale of ₹ 7,450-11,500 later than 1-1-2006. That rationalization of these two pay scales cannot be compared with pay scale of ₹ 6,500-10,500 right from 1-1-2006. That makes the difference in the grade pay. Hence those in the pay scale of ₹ 5,000-8,000 and ₹ 5,500-9,000 when brought on the PB-2, namely ₹ 7,450-11,500 cannot equate themselves with those pay scale holders of ₹ 6,500-10,500 right from 1-1-2006. Hence the grade pay can only be ₹ 4,200 for the two pay scales.
