In the revised pay scales, while PSEB has given the pay scale of Rs.16650-39100 (with grade pay of Rs. 8500) to Sr. Xens, corresponding pay scale of Sr. Xen. given by HSEB (i.e. HVPNL, UHBVNL, DHBVNL and HPGCL) is Rs.37400-67000 (with grade pay of Rs.8800). It implies that initial basic pay of Sr. Xen in PSEB is Rs. 33240 against Rs. 46200 in case of HSEB. While Sr. Xen of HSEB with about 15 years service after induction, is drawing a basic pay of about Rs.53000/-, a PSEB Sr. Xen with equivalent length of service shall draw a basic pay of only Rs.39000/-.

A typical comparison of two engineers from PSEB and HVPNL, working in BBMB with nearly same length of service and almost similar date of promotion as Sr. Xen, is given in the table below.

DATE OLD BASIC HVPNL PSEB DIFFERENCE REMARKS
01.01.2006 14100 46100 33080 13020 AS AEE IN PSEB AFTER 12 YRS (26230 + 6850)
01.07.2006 14500 47490 34080 13410 ANNUAL INCREMENT
01.07.2007 14900 48920 35110 13810 ANNUAL INCREMENT
16.01.2008 15350 49020 36760 12260 Promoted as Sr. Xen (Grade Pay 8500)
01.07.2008 15800 52020 39010 13010 ANNUAL INCREMENT
01.07.2009 16250 53590 50900 2690 AFTER 16 YRS (41300 + 9600)
01.07.2010 16700 55200 52430 2770 ANNUAL INCREMENT

As is evident, the PSEB incumbent shall draw about Rs 13000 less basic pay during the period of 12 to 16 years of service. Further, even after 16 years of service, there shall be a difference of over Rs 2600/- in the basic pay, which shall keep on increasing as the career progresses since the rate of increment is same and the increment is based on previous basic pay, which is lower for PSEB incumbent.

Further, HSEB has allowed the above mentioned scale of Sr. Xen (i.e. Rs.37400-67000 with grade pay of Rs.8800) to their AEs with 12 years of service. It implies that while an AE of HSEB with 12 years service shall draw a basic pay of Rs. 46100/- whereas an AE or even Sr. Xen of PSEB with 12 years of service shall draw only about Rs 33000/-.
