Notional Fixation of Pay pre and post 1996 AVMs
You may like to publish it in REPORT MY SIGNAL so that Major Generals, both pre and post 1996 may take action to get their notional pay, pension and other retirement benefits revised.

I had to go up to Central Information Commission to know the modalities of how notional pay of pre 1996 AVMs was fixed. There when I enquired how pension of Major General with stagnation increment was fixed as 20000/- while for AVM with one stagnation increment was fixed at 20400/-. Air Hq representatives replied that they can talk only about Air Force. Again, when I asked how notional pay of AVMs retiring even in October 1996 was fixed at 19550/-, they said it must have been a mistake and the concerned officers must apply for rectification.

Finally I have got the modality for fixation of notional pay of pre 1996 AVMs vide Air Hq letter No Air HQ/23401/204/4/1315/E/PS dated 27 Sep 2010 which is as given below. As per this, minimum notional pay of a post 1996 officer had to be 19900 and in case of those who were on top of the scale for more than one year, it had to be 20400/-

Pay last drawn in IV CPCRs. 6700+200 (Stagnation Pay)
