Four increments are given if one is Ph.D at the time of recruitment. Here recruitment means date of application or date of selection ?

A selection grade lecturer / associate professor if retired after rendering 33 years of service before 01.01.2006 would get more pension as compared to a professor retiring on 18450/- with 32 years 6 months service due to sixth pay commission revision whereas the basic pay and pension both of the professor were more. Is there any remedy ? Is is not unfair ?
