I have 14 years of service in state government Kerala in a technical post of gazetted rank. Afterwards I joined as Assistant Professor in State Government service (Collegiate Education Department) through separate State PSC recruitment. Since I have Ph.D. degree I got 5 additional increment from the beginning. Moreover, I am in continuing service counting my pensionary benifits including GPF and others. But, since the last pay I received in the previous service is higher than the pay I receive in the Asst. Professor cadre, I am not getting any pay protection. I want to know, whether I am eligible for any pay protection?
