No apex pay scale for next chief of Intelligence Bureau Tapan Kumar Deka

Parallel rules governing the apex pay scales of IPS officers

Pay rules for senior IPS officers still maintain their salary tied to post they hold, but govt gives them apex pay scale on the basis of seniority. As a result, the next IB Chief Tapan Deka cannot get apex pay scale since he is not in 11 senior most IPS officers as of now. IPS officers say pay rule should prevail over seniority order
