A lot has been said on this blog at Wages down the ages, comparative analysis and elsewhere on the Indian Police Service and the Army. As remarked here earlier by a retired flag officer of the Indian Navy, the 6th CPC has been less than honest while visiting history. The historical tables on Page 73 have faced much flak here and elsewhere. Other than IPS, another service having close links with the military has been the Indian Forest Service (IFS) which forms the triumvirate of ‘All India Services’ alongwith the IAS and IPS. Military and Forest Service Officers have enjoyed close and cordial ties through the ages, maybe it has something to do with the close proximity of the IMA and FRI, I don’t know :-). But here is how the salaries and pensions have compared through the Pay Coms with reference to the rank of Lt Col :
III CPC
BASIC PAY SCALE
Selection Grade of IFS: Rs 1650- 1800
Lt Col: Rs 1750– 1950
BASIC PENSION
Selection Grade of IFS: Rs 825
Lt Col: Rs 875
IV CPC
BASIC PAY SCALE
Selection Grade of IFS: Rs 4100- 5300
Lt Col: Rs 4700-5900
BASIC PENSION
Selection Grade of IFS: Rs 2050
Lt Col : Rs 2350
V CPC
BASIC PAY SCALE
Selection Grade of IFS: Rs 14300-18300
Lt Col: Rs 15100-18700
BASIC PENSION
Selection Grade of IFS: Rs 7150
Lt Col: Rs 7550
VI CPC
BASIC PAY SCALE
Selection Grade of IFS: Rs 37400- 67000 + Grade Pay Rs 8700
Lt Col : Rs 15600-39100 + Grade Pay Rs 7600
BASIC PENSION
Selection Grade of IFS: Rs 23050
Lt Col: Rs 17063
(Note IFS is Indian Forest Service not Indian foreign Service)
Guess these were the tables that were required to be placed in the 6th CPC for a better idea of history! Now these tables will be recorded for prosterity making it a record of sorts.

Comment: Thanks to maj Navdeep to bring out the sordid state of Pay Parity. What is the AHQ Pay Cell doing? Pushing files- no brains!.....Is the Pay cell bugged? We need to disband this cell and reduce the defence budget.
