There are Lt Cols(Select list), the Lt Col (Time Scale) who got promoted on completion of 21 years of service but seniority fixed as on Dec 04 on implementation of AVS Phase1 and the third category of those who promoted on 13 years of service. While selection to Lt cols rank no more existing, those who attained the rank by selection were not abrogated. Similarly the erstwhile LT Cols(TS) who attained the rank after 21 years cannot be clubbed those promoted through AVS-1. Hope those working on the pay fixation is giving due consideration to this facts.

Logically speaking, both (TS) & (S) are lt col now. Only difference is pre 16 Dec 04 lt col(s) are senior to pre 16 Dec 04 lt col(TS). Lt Col(TS) gets their seniority from the date they got rk pay of 1600/- ie 16 Dec 04. Now all are lt col and no TS/S. While fixing new scales, there will be bunching for every two consecutive stages as per SAI(ref para 7(a)(iii) of SAI2/S/08) . That means 13500+1600=15100 and 13900+1600=15500 will get fixed at same stage what ever fixation is decided. For every two pre-rivised increments one would get one increment at the time of fixation in revised scale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-31769051030832533992009-02-23T11:16:00.000+05:302009-02-23T11:16:00.000+05:30GentlemenI was talking about the fact that all Lt ...Gentlemen<BR/><BR/>I was talking about the fact that all Lt Cols who retired between 1/1/06 and 1/8/2008 are being governed by pre-6PC laws, ie,their pension is still governed by the no.of yrs of service they have on retirement.<BR/><BR/>For example, an Officer with 20 years service will still get 27/33 of the full pension, as against anybody who retires on or after 2/8/2008, who wll get 50% of last pay drawn, irrespective of the no. of years he has served.<BR/><BR/>MOD has made the Office Memorandum as the authority, without considering Officers retiring between 1/1/2006 and 1/8/2008.<BR/><BR/>This anomaly must be corrected as it makes for a drop of 15% in pension for such officers and corresponding reduction in commutation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-66058211938272521682009-02-22T23:55:00.000+05:302009-02-22T23:55:00.000+05:30I hope all Time Scale officers will get the same p...I hope all Time Scale officers will get the same pay based on years of service and there is no anomaly as Commander (TS) of Navy have not been promoted to Capt(TS) after 26 years service whereas Army Lt Col (TS) and IAF Wg Cdr (TS)officers have been promoted to Col (TS) and Gp Capt (TS) after 26 years service.
