Pay protection on joining a psu from central government

kapil sinsinwar (Querist) 21 July 2026 This query is : Resolved
I have joined a PSU in 2010 from a central government department, i have applied through proper channel and submitted an NOC and technical resignation as well. However, after my joining in a PSU the HR refused to protect my last pay in the central government. From 2010 to 2018 i keep on writing various letters to the authorities but to no avail, finally for the very first time in 2018 HR communicated that pay protection will not be given.

Kindly enlighten me on this with orders/circulars please

Quick Summary

An individual who joined a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) from a central government department in 2010 is seeking clarification on why their previous pay was not protected. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the issue, the PSU HR only confirmed in 2018 that pay protection would not be granted. The discussion highlights that while the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) does not mandate pay protection for central government employees joining PSUs, some PSUs may offer it through internal provisions or negotiation. The user questions the perceived discrimination, noting that PSU employees transferring to central government roles typically have their pay protected.

Unlike inter-departmental government transfers, DoPT mandates that PSUs are not required to protect the basic pay of incoming Central Government employees. However, some CPSEs have internal provisions where they may match your previous emoluments during negotiation

what if someone has not negotiated the pay at the time of appointment?
why there's a discrimination in the rules for pay protection- when a PSU employee is coming to central government his pay is protected but its not vice-versa
