The Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC) has approved a Home Ministry proposal for granting the apex pay scale to Jain, a 1980 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, with prospective effect, an order issued by Department of Personnel and Training said.
The ACC had in May this year given the top pay package to BSF Director General D K Pathak and National Investigation Agency DG Sharad Kumar, both 1979-batch officers of the Indian Police Service.
These officers have complained of not getting Rs 80,000 pay scale which is fixed for Director General-level officers.
