both of you in junior grades?

Different ministries and stat boards also different. Teachers aka GEOs get lowest PB

yup, so those ppl should stop asking what pb is for c grade etc..

For MX13 (fresh grad)?

isnt it just enough to know your own pb quantum, why care about others 🤷*♂️

By mid March we will know ?

yes before pb announcement promotees would be notified

are u mx11a? look like a 5% cut.

5% cut i guess. can share your increment? 5% or less?

Not necessarily true that you will know your promotion before pb.For both times I was promoted, once I knew it just a few days before 1 April (before I can see the merit increment) and the second time, I only found out at the same time as all other colleagues during the announcement in staff meeting.
