• Is it right to get promotional post without scale raise

The cadre of physiotherapist at AIIMS has junior physiotherapist post at scale of pay [deleted] with grade pay 4200. While next post of physiotherapist is also the same scale. So when person gets promoted after 15 years he remains in same scale only designation changes. Is there any way to correct this anomaly?

Scale may be same but you will get promotional increment. You can not do anything if scale is same.

Acceptance is your decision. What court will do? No cause of action .  writ shall not be maintainable.

- You must file the writ in High Court on correction of scale post having the AIIMS policy on this pay scale. If the policy has same pay scale as per guidelines then you are required to get into the correction of scale.

- Writ is undoubtedly required to file without accepting the higher rank as to take the post you shall have to give your NOC on terms and conditions, which will go against you in case.

1. On promotion from Junior Physiotherapist to Physiotherapist, even though the payscale remains the same, but the Grade Pay gets changed from Rs. 4200/- to Rs. 4600/- and corresponding financial benefits in DA and HRA also gets enhanced.

2. If at all, you feel injustice has been meted to you in service matter, accept the promotion and then  approach jurisdictional Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) and if the matter is not resolved to your advantage in CAT, approach the State High Court by filing a suit and finally you can approach the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

Thought he scale of pay may be appearing to be same as that of the scale drawn by the employee now, on promotion his salary will be re-fixed.

His current salary will be taken into consideration and accordingly the increments will be added to fix the higher salary on promotion  than what he is drawing now,

You may first accept the promotion and wait for the fixation of salary on promotion,.

If you are aggrieved by the irregularity observed by you then you may approach high court with a writ petition as proposed by you for relief and remedy.

When they offers a promotion that comes with additional responsibility, but not more money, it may be worth it to accept it initially.

You should file it and accept the promotion under protest if it is due. If not, then too you can file the same.

Yes the anomaly can be corrected.

But for that you have file writ petition before High court for changing the grade pay of Senior post.

Dear Sir,

Yes, you can file Writ petition in High Court.

I believe promotion can be defined as being placed into an improved position from the present, i.e. a change in an employee’s position from the current one to a better one, say from a lower level/rank to a higher/senior position which may or may not cause a hike in pay; while an Upgradation refers to improving an object, material or situation, i.e. the employee may remain in the same position but the terms of the job improve e.g. higher pay, more benefits, etc.
