Revised Pay Scales of Sr. Xens and AEEs disproportionately lower and de-motivating.
Received with thanks from Er. Naveen Gupta

Dear brother Engineers I draw your attention to the fact that a gross injustice has been done to the Sr. Xens and AEEs of PSEB in the revised Pay Scales notified by PSEB vide Office Order No. 478/PRC-302/2006 dated 15.10.2009. PSEB has always maintained an edge in providing remuneration to its employees and engineers in order to attract and retain best talent. The revised pay scales of Sr. Xens and AEEs are not only disproportionately lower in the overall salary structure but also much lower than the scales being offered by other electricity utilities of the Region such as HVPNL, UHBVNL, DHBVNL and HPGCL. Whereas the complete salary structure of PSEB as per the revised pay scales is better than these utilities, in line with the tradition of PSEB to provide a leading edge to its employees and engineers, gross injustice has been done to Sr. Xens and AEE/AEs whose scales are much less and disproportionate by any means and dimension.
In the revised pay scales, while PSEB has given the pay scale of Rs.16650-39100 (with grade pay of Rs. 8500) to Sr. Xens, the corresponding scale of Sr. Xen. given by HSEB (i.e. HVPNL, UHBVNL, DHBVNL and HPGCL) is Rs.37400-67000 (with grade pay of Rs.8800). It implies that initial basic pay of Sr. Xen in PSEB is Rs. 33240 against Rs. 46200 in case of HSEB. While Sr. Xen of HSEB with about 15 years service after induction, is drawing a basic pay of about Rs.53000/-, a PSEB Sr. Xen with equivalent length of service shall draw a basic pay of only Rs.39000/-. A live example of engineers from PSEB and HVPNL, working in BBMB with nearly same length of service (DOJ January 1994) and almost similar date of promotion as Sr. Xen, is given in the table below:
