Respected members
I am in need of your guidance in the following matter:
I am working in the Junagadh Agricultural University and benefited with Career Advancement Scheme before 1.1.2006 from Associate Professor to Professor (PROMOTION) in the Pay sale 16400 -22400, which was in 6th Pay commission revised in pay band 37400-67000 + 10000 AGP and now I am drawing basic pay 69,720/- (59720+10000 AGP). To remove the world “PROMOTION” from my designation, I appeared in direct selection and have been selected as Professor and it equivalent post in the same pay band 37400-67000 + 10000 AGP in the same university, i.e. Junagadh Agricultural University with probation period of two years. I joined my new duty on 24.03.2015. Now, my pay is fixed as 69,720/-(59720+ 10000AGP) at 24.03.2015 with Date of Next Increment 1-7-2016. So, there is no monitory benefit due to direct selection, but I do have loss of one increment which was due on 1-7-2015 in original position.
Kindly guide me that pay fixation done by authority is correct or not. If no, then what should be my protected pay on 24.03.2015 and Date of Next Increment? Please clarify with quoting rules.
Thanks in advance....

Since you have been selected through through direct selection process and also placed on probation for a period of 2 years (which is prescribed for direct recruitees), the pay fixation done by the authority is in accordance with the rules.

Respected sir,
Our university accepted Gujarat Civil Service Rules (GCSR). There are several Rules for pay fixation in different situation. But I think that for new appointment as in my case, pay should be fixed under the Rule 23 of Gujarat Civil Service(Pay) Rules, 2002. Is it correct one? If not, please let me know proper rule or if yes then clarify about Date of Next Increment.
Thank U.
