I tried to nego but HR said even though they will take it up to managment to discuss it also means that I am rejecting current offer so be mentally prepared

Which mx grades have 2 ranges? What of someone hits the ceiling of even the higher range, will they be notified or will they just get a rude shock the following year when there is no increment?

Don't listen to the other guy. 4.5k is the civil service average for MX12 with 2 YOE.

Correct, under contract law, once you make a counteroffer (trying to negotiate for higher salary), the original offer is considered legally rejected. So HR is in the right if they decide to ghost you after that.
