Bureaucrats will never get promotion if their promotion/raise was based on appraisal. They never have anything to show but their Rs8 tie the buy from Janpath footpath market.

They take care of their brethren beautifully and the cozy club continues unabated. 

Don't you think, performance based appraisal will separate the Chaff from the grain ?

They think Rs 2.5 lac is not justified for the great talent they have.

In a bureaucratic structure same job is done by everyone in the hierarchy, so it becomes difficult to assign roles and no one wants to dilute role of anyone. So real appraisal of an individual does not come out. The group always shines. 

That's a different thing. What the employees and pensioners think will not matter. It's only What the Government thinks matters.

It seems you are not aware, but PA's are filled by one above and not the government.

Yes PA is filled at two levels after the candidate tells something about himself in the first place.

Therefore they as a class take care of each other. It is very rare they will ever spoil the PA of anyone. 

Very rare, it is always a favorable report in all cases unlike private sector where they suggest points of improvement.
