"52.90 Upgradation of pay scale of Registered
Pharmacists is sought from Rs.1350-2200 to Rs.1400-
2600 at par with diploma holders of other disciplines
like Engineering Nursing etc Pharmacy Council of
India, recommended in 1976 and 1994 that the pay scale
and promotion avenues of Pharmacists should be at par
with other technical diploma holders in Engineering and
Technology as the post of pharmacist is also technical.
We recommend that Pharmacists in view of the
prescribed entry qualifications should be placed in the
scale of Rs.1400-2300 at entry qualifications should be
placed in the scale of Rs.1400-2300 at entry. The grade
structure in existence at present should be modified as
follows: -
Nomenclature Pay Scale Qualification
Pharmacists Gr. I Rs.1640-2900 2nd ACP
Pharmacists Gr. II Rs.1600-2600 1st ACP
Pharmacists Gr. III Rs.1400-2300 10+2+2 yrs.
Diploma + 3
months training
and registration.
Wherever there is a post of Chief Pharmacists it should
be placed in the pay scale of Rs.2000+3500. Posts of
Chief Pharmacists may also be created in the hospitals
in the pay scale of Rs.2000+3500 based on functional
justification. In future no recruitment should be made in
this cadre with qualifications of less than diploma. All
those incumbents who possess a diploma in Pharmacy
and are in lower scales at present may also be brought
into the scale of Rs.1400+2300. Incumbents not
possessing Diploma in Pharmacy may continue in the
replacement pay scale corresponding to their existing
scales with ACP only."
