The Full Form of NFSG is Non Functional Selection Grade.

In the Non-Functional Selection Grade, the duties and responsibilities attached to the posts are the same as those of the next lower grade, i.e. JAG. Such selection grade is given to a specified number of officers in the JAG under certain conditions and does not involve a change of command.

4.1 In organised Central Group `A’ Services, there is a non-functional selection grade in the pay scale of Rs.14300-18300. This is inter-mediary scale between the pay scales corresponding to Junior Administrative Grade (Rs.12000-16500) and Senior Administrative Grade (Rs.18400-22400). In the Non-Functional Selection Grade, the duties and responsibilities attached to the posts are the same

as those of the next lower grade, i.e. JAG. Such selection grade is given to a specified number of officers in the JAG under certain conditions and does not involve a change of command. As per decisions taken by Government in the light of the Fourth Central Pay Commission’s recommendations, the revised orders regarding non-functional selection grade (Rs.14300-18300) will apply to the organised Group `A’ Civil Cadres and the orders will apply to such cadres uniformly. Secondly, there will be no functional selection grade in such cadres.
