It's absolutely bananas that your pay is correlated more strongly with age/YOE than anything else, including the impact of your work.

What's ridiculous is that in private sector, remuneration is based on one's appointment, less so on pay grades.
A person working in the capacity of HOD will be paid a HOD salary, not an exec's salary. Yet we see people taking on appointments 2-3 pay grades higher on top of their normal work, while drawing a low pay.
And salary increments can increase by 10-20% jumping across companies. It is also possible to negotiate one's salary.
This is not possible in CS. Jumping across ministries or stat boards usually see a pay cut. And there is no room to negotiate for salaries. You either take whatever salary HR offers, and don't take the job.
