Second-in-command/Commandant(junior grade)/LTCol

It is a good news that DGs of almost all the CPMFs/CPOs have met Home minister and taken up the case of our officers in the rank of Second-in -command/Commandant(junior grade) in the old scale of 12000-16500 for shifting into PB-4.These are the officers who are equals to LTCol rank in Army, and this needs to be preserved at all cost , any change in this equation will disturb the common deployment between CPMF and Defence forces. Our fight should not finish here and early sanction CPMF Pay should come at the rate of 5999/- for officers and 1999 for other ranks

EQUATION OF RANKS-It has been observed since last few days that officer of Defence Forces are trying to equate Commandant of CPMF (BSF/COAST GUARD/CRPF/ITBP/ASSAM RIFFLES) with that of Lt col of Army. The pay scale of Lt col is 13500-17100 and not 15100-18700 and that of Commandant is 14300-18300.The Defence forces will next time mix MSP and state Lt col Senior to Joint Secy. The equivalent pay scale of Lt col in Central Govt is 12000-16500 which is held by Second-in-command or commandant(Junior Grade) in scale of 12000-16500. Going by the logic of Lt cols the rank of Brigadier (16700+2400 rank pay) WITH total basic of 19100 should be equivalent of Addl Secy.There is no end to it let us equate correctly and same is done by govt by keeping Lt cols in PB-3
