Important Question regarding Premature Increment to ESTs
If SSTs can get the benefit of premature increment/ re-fixation of pay then why not PSTs appointed as ESTs, having the same situation, can get this benefit? To answer these questions please comment below. You also can get the help from the Recruitment/Service Rules of the Punjab Government Education Department.
