10% Cap for Higher AGP for Universty Professors: Lifted or Scrapped?

It appears from the UGC Regulations relating to the new pay scales for university and college teachers that there is a 10 per cent cap on professors eligible for a higher AGP of. This 10 per cent cap should be lifted. The 10-per cent limit certainly will lead to nepotism and politics involving institute administrators in picking beneficiaries of the higher salary. Academic Grade Pay of Rs.12,000.00 should be given to all professors who have completed ten years of service and there should be no cap of 10 per cent as is the case now. If this is not agreeable to the government the system of 10 per cent cap should be scrapped.
