The biggest myth of the sixth Central Pay Commission is the military service pay to defence officers.
It has been hyped as an additional pay over their civilian counterparts. The fact is that in every other service, officers will be at least four to six years ahead of defence officers in reaching in pay scales.
For example, a Colonel will reach pay band PB-4 after 18 to 19 years of service whereas in every other central service, officers will get into PB-4 within 12 to 14 years.
When we add the jump in pay, grade pay and increments in the next four to five years, Colenel with his MSP of Rs 6000 will be well below his civilian counterpart.
As usual the armymen have been short charged. The public has already been fed on hype of MSP.
But who cares? Who will speak for the fauji?
