This may not necessarily be so. You need to take into account the substantive grade of each officer. In my school, for instance, many LHs and HODs are GEO 4 or GEO 5. It means that there is a high chance some of the young teachers may get higher PB. One P in a neighborhood JC prefers to give more to young teachers than the experienced one. But generally, the previous post is largely true. It is an art to make sure every single cent is spent. Pray that your P may give the highest quantum to you.
