7. A person who would be a person mentioned in the second column of the Schedule hereto at any particular reference number but for the fact that his basic salary exceeds the maximum basic salary specified in that column at that reference number shall not receive less total remuneration than he would have received if his basic salary had been equal to the said maximum basic salary.
