Irrespective of the pay equivalence, the President’s Secretariat vide notification No 33/Pres-79 dated 26 July 1979 (Amended upto Oct 2008) has laid down the status of military and civil appointments till Maj Gen / Jt Secy to Govt of India for official functions. The layout of the same is as follows :

[1] Both STS and JAG Officers can be posted as DCs/DMs/Collectors. STS officers at times can also be posted as Addl DCs/DMs. The nomenclature of Secretarial Ranks for STS and JAG officers also varies from State to State.

[2] Ditto as Footnote 1 above

[3] Is equivalent in status to Maj Gen only if selected for empanelment as Jt Secy to Govt of India (Footnotes Continued on next page..)

[4] Is equivalent in status to Lt Gen only if selected for empanelment as Addl Secy to Govt of India

*Note on Appointments in the Indian Police Service : The Distt police in charge is known by variable nomenclature in different States. For example, irrespective of Grade, the said officer is known as SSP in Punjab & UP but SP in Haryana and DCP in Metros. A Selection Grade IPS officer is also sometimes referred to as SSP.  JAG Officer posted in Police HQrs is known as AIG.

*Officers of the rank of DIG, IGP, Addl DGP and DGP are only equated with their respective counterparts of the Army if selected to hold these appointments through Central empanelment under Govt of India. For example, there may be an officer holding the appointment of DGP in a State but when the same officer is posted at the centre in a CPO, he/she may be placed two steps lower as an IGP. An officer of the rank of DGP is placed as Special Secretary to Govt of India if posted on a Secretarial appointment as are other HAG+ officers. 

# Corps Commanders not placed as Army Commanders due to lack of residual service are upgraded to Apex Scale of Rs 80,000 (fixed)
