What have you been doing so far from the year 2009 till 2019?

You have wasted 10 very good years in between.

Well, dont show as if you know that this may be barred by limitation.

you can make a representation to the top management explaining that the revision in pay structure is the government decision and it was revised to the pay while you were in Air Force, hence your pay and the last pay drawn at Air Force has been clearly changed to the one what you have submitted as documentary evidence and request to consider your request to  accommodate your pay as per the last pay (revised) given by Air Force and to pay you the arrears of salary till this date.

Let them reject your application once again with the reasons mentioned therein, you may file a writ petition before high court seeking relief and remedy.

Please note that do not approach Armed forces tribunal, because they have nothing to do with the civil department pay fixation problems.

PHHL is wrong so you file a representation to the Head of the Department stating the relevant provision of MOU stating that the previous LPC was provisional if they decline to do so then file a Writ before the Hon'ble High Court , you will get the relief.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that the rejection is in itself not legal at per se.
  2. It is true that the MOU makes mark on the issue of pay governance.
  3.  But, it is also true that sending the revised pay scale to the PHHL also shows that there might be an implied understanding of approving the pay governments as per the government norms otherwise no one would leave the job early and come to them.
  4. Still, would be able to guide you more precisely once I get a chance to go through the said MOU.
