Dear Sir,
what is your opinion about the HAG acale (GOI additional secretary scale) being given to senior professors? do you think the IAS lobby gave on their own (to attract the best)or because of faculty, media and Kapil Sibal's pressure? I know you may refarin from commenting, but a hint will be welcome.
you may refer to me as DPS (I commented on the HAG scale)
He has already commented on the HAG scale in the blog post on prospective faculty. Look there.
Also, why do you think he would be in a position to comment or hint on the motivations of the IAS officers behind giving the HAG scale to IIT profs? It would be much better for everyone if we use this wonderful forum to know facts and information rather than seek gossip and rumours.
See Prof. Giri's statement:
Moving from PB4 to HAG scale will yield no additional benefits. A newly promoted professor will be placed in PB4 with the pay of 48,000 + 10,500 grade pay. Thus, he/she will get 58,500 in the first year. Subsequently, in 6 years or so, they will cross 67000, which is the starting scale for HAG.
Therefore, I do not think there is any monetary benefit.
