Central Pay Commissions over their civil counterparts. This was done by keeping in mind their serviceconditions but with the passage of time they were granted higher grade pay by the 6th Central Pay Commissionand their demand to get risk allowance in the form of Military Service Pay was also granted to them. The 6thCPC recommendations in its letter and spirit never advocated for the inter-functional comparison of grade payas a status symbol. But, at implementation level since most of the entitlements were clubbed with Grade Pay,the latter automatically became the status symbol. Therefore, ranks upto Major in the Indian Army and theirequivalents in the Indian Navy and Indian Airforce are having protocol equivalent to that of Group'B' Gazettedofficers of Central and State Government Service. An army Lt. Colonel and his equivalent in the Indian Navyand Airforce is thus equivalent to a group'A' gazetted officer of the Central Government and State CivilServices.
