I feel morally and ethically strong against the exploitation done by Army Public School

1. I am working as PGT in Army Public School, Pune since 01 Apr 2009.
2. At the time of joining a contract was drwan and notarised in the court, which assured me a salary of Rs 12090 plus Rs 4800/-. After one year, I was confirmed and assured an increment wef 01 Apr 2010.
3. Suddenly in July 10 I was verbally informed that the AWES has decided to refix the salary wef 01 Apr 2009. As per the revised conditions, all newly appointed (wef 01 Apr 2009) PGT / TGT / PRT who are in the pay scale 9300 to 34800 (PB2), will start from a common starting salary, viz. Rs 9300/-. The only difference will be the grade pay i.e Rs 4800 / 4600/ 4200.
4. They implemented a salary cut with effect from the salary for June 2010. This was followed by a written letter which stated that the excess paid over the past 14 months will also be reduced.
5. On going through the Govt of India gazette for 6 PC, the State of Maharashtra orders, the Maharashtra Private school Act, RTE Act 2009 and Kendriya Vidyalaya rules, I found it totally unjustified.
6. Implementation of this draconian interpretation of the 6PC recommendation means that the difference between newly appointed PRT/TGT/PGT will be merely Rs 200-Rs 400/- despite there being a wide difference in the prerequisite qualification and quantum of responsibility of a PGT. Further, it will widen the gap between pre 2009 PGT and post Apr 2009 PGT though both are dispensing the same duties.
7. The concerned authorities have turned a deaf ear to the problem and are willing to pay heed only if there is a court order. Since individually it will not be possible to fight it out against an organisation like the AWES, I seek your help to explore the possibilities of finding a resolution to the issue.
8. The school hides behind the Society Act and avoids paying full DA / HRA rates to the teachers (except for APS, Dhaula Kuan, Delhi), and do not extend any other benefits to the teachers. I am not sure about the legal issues but morally and ethically I feel strongly against it and would want to find as to how you can be help me.

We are also of the same opinion that Army Public Schools are being run by wives of top brass officers only and they are widely violating the rules of pay commission and CCS rules for the educationists working there.

There is little follow up of rules in their offices and we should interfere.

We will take some better decisions in coming days.

dear Bipasha,
i'm sorry to be responding to your query with another one.
I joined an army school in Jammu as PRT Computers in Sep 2009 and was given a consolidated pay of Rs 13,500. I was assured that my engagement will be extended for full session after Mar 2010 and so i should refrain from applying elsewhere (thought i have nothing in writing in this regard).
Later in Mar 2010, interviews were conducted and there ware very few candidates appearing for Computer faculty vacancies. The results of the interview were not notified. About a week or 10 days later, another LSB interview was held in which non-CSB qualified candidate was interviewed and appointed in my place.
My query is, is it not a violation of rules to appoint a non CSB test qualified candidate if a CSB qualified candidate is available?
