Dear Brig Dhand Sir,
1. A number of members and non-members of TSEWA have been requesting me to explain NFU in simple terms and how does it affect serving and retired officers of Armed Forces. I have taken inputs from Col Mukul Dev’s table of empanelment of IAS Officers of various batches to the post of Director / Joint Secretary / Additional Secretary in central government and how Organized Group A services are benefited of higher pay by NFU.
I also used data available from SAI 2 / S / 2008, Circular 555 of OROP – 2013 and New Defence Pay Matrix issued in the form of Gazette Notification dated 22 June 2017 to arrive at approximate pay of all Officers as on 01 Jan 2016.
