I joined a central government job in January 2009 after clearing an interview. Even though I’m senior to my batchmates, I received my appointment letter late and joined in February. Due to this delay, I missed the salary increment implemented in July 2009 under the 6th Pay Commission. My batchmates, who joined in December 2008, benefited from the increment, resulting in a pay discrepancy that widened with the 7th Pay Commission. What steps can I take to rectify this pay anomaly?

You can approach the concerned department or the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions with a representation highlighting the delay in your appointment letter and the resulting pay discrepancy. You can cite relevant rules and regulations regarding salary increments and the 6th and 7th Pay Commissions to support your claim. If necessary, you can seek assistance from a legal professional to pursue this matter further.
