Pay Protection/ Training Exemption to PSU Employees

This query is : Resolved
I worked as Assistant(W5) in a Central Govt. PSU for last 8 years.
Recently, a post of Trainee Jr. Officer (Supervisor) was advertised by my company to which I applied and was selected after topping the written test and interview. Now when I am about to join to the new post I am faced with two problems:-
1. As per HR Manual of the company in case of internal candidates partial pay protection is granted during the training period i.e. only Basic+DA+HRA will be protected the allowances are not. Hence I will be suffering direct financial setback to the tune of Rs. 200000 in one year in addition to loss of many entitlements & benefits. I have represented before the management but the management is adamant that my request cannot be entertained as the terms were mentioned in the offer of appointment as well as HR Manual.
My first question is that even if such conditions exist in the offer letter/ HR manual can they be challenged & set aside on the plea of Fairness & Natural Justice.
Secondly, I have work experience of 8 years in the same department (at a lower cadre) where I was wholly and solely handling all the work. I have got "Excellent" rating in my ACRs year after year for all 8 year. After aforesaid advertised recruitments 3 officers have been appointed to handle the same amount of work. As such I will be required to handle just 1/3 of the work that I was already handling. On the basis of my experience I requested the management to exempt me from training or to grant me service weightage for next promotion which they grossly refused saying that the experience is at a lower cadre and cannot be considered.
Do I have remedy / recourse in the case. It seem that management is blatantly and unilaterally bulldozing its decisions through some cruel and unjust policies in gross disregard of principles of fairness, equity and natural justice which is cornerstone of any law, rule, regulation or policy.
A copy of my representation to management is attached.
May kindly advice. will be highly obliged.

Dear Gaurav,
Attachments made by you, which are merely your own representations, can't help any expert to give you any proper advice. Unless you make a mention of what are the other salary elements, which are being affected during your training period of one year on account of the policy of your organization.
