Dear Seniors,
I need your guidance on the reduction in the salary of an employee who is on probation in a school where 7CPC is applicable. Can an employer reduce the basic salary of an employee without any fault of the employee?
I am working in a private school under the CBSE Board, where the 7th Central Pay Commission is adopted by the school. I joined the school on 01/01/2018 on probation as per the appointment letter received. I received the correct salary until January 2019 as per my original fixation. However, in February 2019, the management revised my appointment letter, changing the date of appointment to 02/01/2018 and the pay fixation. Due to that, my basic salary has been reduced, resulting in a decrease in my take-home pay.
I have already raised this issue with my management, but I am not getting a satisfactory answer from them. Is it legally correct? What can I do? Please suggest and provide any judgment or act for the same matter for reference.
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Seniors,
I need your guidance on the reduction in the salary of an employee who is on probation in a school where 7CPC is applicable. Can an employer reduce the basic salary of an employee without any fault of the employee? Due to the reduction in basic pay, the gross salary is also reduced.
I am working in a private school under the CBSE Board, where the 7 Central Pay Commission is adopted by the school. I joined the school on 01/01/2018 on probation as per the appointment letter received. I received the correct salary until Jan 2019 as per my original fixation. However, in Feb 2019, the management revised my appointment letter, changing the date of appointment to 02/01/2018 (they made this change to avoid my first increment within six months as per the 7CPC rule) and altered the pay fixation. As a result, my basic salary has been reduced, leading to a reduction in my take-home salary.
I have already raised this issue with my management, but I am not getting a satisfactory answer from them. Is it legally correct? What can I do? Please suggest and provide any judgment or act for this type of matter for reference.
