Sir
The fixation at 18460 is not allowed to department of Post eligible officers. All other ministries have alliwed but despite favourable CAT judgement nothing is done by postal department . Department of postal Accounts people might have come from heaven to intrepret differently. Its very sad Postal officers promoted between 01.01.2006 to 30.8.2008 are not extended benifit of 18460 fixation.
