The three Services, in the Joint Services Memorandum submitted by them to the Seventh Central Pay Commission have projected following major parity issues:

• Review and enhancement of Grade Pay of Service Officers and Personnel Below Officer Rank (PBORs);

• Initial Pay fixation of Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel and Brigadier equivalents;.

• Placing of all Lieutenant General / equivalent in Higher Administrative Grade + (HAG+) scale;

• Grant of Non-Functional upgradation to Defence Services Officers; and
