a. Salary could be fixed only from the date of joining.
b.You are not entitled that there is no loss in your gross salary.
c.Lesser pay that has been fixed is patently unreasonable.
d.You are entitled on additional increment with reference to your last pay in the last employment, but not o the basis you have suggested.
e. This aspect is not of much relevance. You also had the option not to join or at least to bargain before you joined.
You can represent. If not successful, seek judicial review.
