Re: Service matter

The applicability of scheme depends upon the relevant service rules.

Normally, one should be entitled to the higher scale from the date of appointment made 'in accordance with the statutory service rules'. Thus is your initial appointment is as per rules, that may be the date for counting of your service for the purposes of higher scale.

Re: Service matter

Your service count starts from the year 2003.However kindly check the rules as per your state government or UGC,whatever.
