I applied for the post Assistant Professor in Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology (State Agricultural University), Ayodhya, U. P. in 2019. My joining was technical resignation and joined immediately next date after relieved from my past job. Then I approached administration with proper written documents. However, it was totally futile and my requisition was rejected. My present post scale same i.e. 15600+6000 AGP and same level in 7 CPC. There point is to rejecting my application is grade pay is different and not at all equivalent to the present post. I request you to ask how to protect my pay. Whether am I eligible or not and moreover, can I approach for past service counting since the scale is same and only difference is grade pay. Please give the right solution for the above situations.

Not getting salary due to issue in my New Pension Scheme (NPS)

I’m a central government employee. previously i was working in a govt dept as an mts, and there my nps account was opened by them. after that i got selected in Delhi police as Sub inspector so, took normal resignation from mts. There (delhi police), for the first 3 months they pay without deducting NPS. After 2 months in training, I got selected in central excise dept, so applied for technical resignation from Delhi police. Meanwhile I submitted nps transfer form, but they said that for first 3 months training we pay without deducting nps, and the whole salary will be transferred to your salaried account, and when they will start deduction for nps, I will be resigned. so don’t transfer the nps here, transfer it directly to excise dept where I was going to join. And all i got in my salaried account.

Now it has been 4 months in excise department I got no salary here. they are saying that you took technical resignation from Delhi police means your service has to be added. But according to your NPS account, no data is found about Delhi police. No nps deduction from Delhi police is showing in NPS portal. that’s why they are not giving me any salary. Now I’m in a huge debt. please suggest me. isn’t there any rule to pay at least basic pay up to when the issue is not solved because here i have been working since 4 months? if they make me work, they should pay me. isn’t it? Please suggest what should I do. Thankyou

Whether it is legal for an employer to withhold an employee’s salary

The legal issue at hand is whether it is legal for an employer to withhold an employee’s salary for May 2020, on the grounds of treating the employee as absent, when the employee stayed at home during lockdown under the protection of vulnerable people clause. The employee in question is an employee of the WB Govt. STU and has multiple co-morbidities, making them vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic. The employer’s decision to withhold the salary may raise questions about the employer’s compliance with labor laws and regulations, specifically regarding the rights and protections of vulnerable employees during a pandemic. This legal issue could potentially involve an analysis of the terms and conditions of the employee’s contract, labor laws, and regulations related to employee rights and protection, as well as any government guidelines related to vulnerable employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.
