This is true. Salary in the public sector is pegged to your grade, but title need not necessary be pegged to your grade. For example, an AM with MX11 may earn more than a M with MX12. Reason being the AM has been in the system longer and had more grade promotions, but just no title re-designation yet. Even within the same grade, the gap could be wide.
Title is a reflection of your current potential. But there's an informal rule that if you resign and join a new organisation, you will need to "waste" 1 year to prove your worth again. Hence sometimes you may start with a lower title than what you previously had. In that kind of situation, it is not uncommon to see someone with a lower title earning a higher salary than someone with a higher title.
