  1. Justice delayed is justice denied. Implementing it early shall save the govt. Some Rs 1,735,000 crore but there are other benefits also like govt. Shall have to pay oldage pension. Why pay without work. Poland retirement age is 67 yrs. If the mind is o.k. body sound why not take work from experienced hand. Or kill him by retiring him. For people die early when out of work.

    I am Working in NCERT as Store-Keeper (Grade-I). The pay scale in Central Govt is under the Grade pay of 4200.00. However the NCERT is paying me the grade pay 2800/-. The Recruitment rules and promotion rules are as per Govt. rules and maximum trades are being paid the Central Govt. Pay scale. Several request for upgrading my grade pay from 2800 to 4200 has been made and there is no reply from NCERT HQ. Kindly help me to take up my case to NCERT HQ and ministry of HRD.
