Subject : Meeting with Staff Side Representatives of Departmental Council (JCM) to discuss issues relating to recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission.
Respected comrade,
I wish to following points to be brought to the notice of the directorate , Department of Posts India during the discussion Staff Side Representatives of Departmental Council (JCM) to discuss issues relating to recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission.
- The commission had recommended Rs.18000 as minimum wages. The same should be enhanced to Rs.26000
- Some of the cadres of Department of Posts are restructured by the 7th CPC. On the line of that following cadres are also required to be restructured and awarded pay fixation benefits:
a. Postal/Sorting Assistants may be upgraded to the Grade Pay of Rs. 2800.
b. PO/RMS Accountant, System Administrator, Marketing Executive, MACP-I may be upgraded to Grade pay of s. 4200.
c. In the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th CPC, the Inspector of Posts, Lower Selection Grade (Normed Base) Supervisor and TBOP (Time Bound One Promotion) official were placed in the same Pay Scale. Now the 7th CPC has upgraded the cadre of Inspector of Posts with Grade Pay to Rs. 4600, neglecting other equivalent cadres. Hence, Lower Selection Grade (Normed Base) Supervisor and TBOP (Time Bound One Promotion) official now MACP-II may be upgraded to the Grade Pay of Rs. 4600 at par that of Inspector of Posts.
d. In the 3rd, 4th and 5th CPC, Higher Selection Grade-II (HSG-II), BCR official and the Assistant Supdt. of Posts were placed in the same Pay Scale. The 7th CPC has upgraded the cadre of Assistant Supdt. of Posts with Grade Pay to Rs. 4800, neglecting other equivalent cadres. Hence, Higher Selection Grade (HSG-II) and BCR now MACP-III official may be upgraded to the Grade Pay of Rs. 4800 at par that of Assistant Supdt. of Posts.
e. In the 3rd, 4th and 5th CPC, the cadre of Higher Selection Grade-I (Non-gazetted Gr. ‘B’) and the Superintendent of Posts were placed in the same Pay Scale. In the 6th CPC HSG-I is upgraded from the pay scale of Rs. 6500 to the pay scale of Rs. 7450. However, same is ignored in recent recommendation of 7th CPC.
H.S.G-I is over all Incharge of the actual revenue generated functional works and whole responsibility lies on them. Ignoring the cadre of Supervisor (LSG NB
With effect from 2003, 75% Supervisory posts are being fed buy conducting competitive examinations (Fast Track Promotion) from the feeder cadre of Sorting Assistants/Postal Assistants but no any financial up gradation consider till today. In the cadre restructuring it was considered by Directorate and proposed to upgrade to the Grade Pay of HSG-I cadre from Rs. 4600 to Rs. 4800 i.e. equivalent to the Superintendent. The 7th CPC has upgraded the cadre of Superintendent of Posts with Grade Pay to Rs. 5400, but not considered the same for the equivalent cadre of HSG-I.
According to the revised Recruitment of Rules of the Assistant Supdt. of Posts issued by the Dept. of Posts, HSG-I is the promotion to the ASP after rendering two years of regular service. The 7th CPC has upgraded the Grade pay of the cadre of ASP to Rs. 4800/- To award natural justice, the cadre of Higher Selection Grade (HSG-I) may also be upgraded by the higher Grade Pay than that of ASP Cadre.
Recently the Department of Posts has issued Revised Recruitment Rules of the superintendent wherein some posts of reserved for the HSG-I cadre. For the Superintendent and HSG-I, the feeder cadre is same i.e. Sorting Assistant/Postal Assistant. Hence, as the Grade Pay of the Superintendent is upgraded to Rs. 5400 on the same line the Grade Pay of the H.S.G.-I cadre is also to be upgraded to Rs.5400 by the 7th CPC.
- The fitment benefit recommended may be increased from 2.57 to 3.00 for all cadres.
- The House Rent Allowance (HRA) has also been reduced from 10, 20 and 30 per cent to 8, 16 and 24 per cent respectively. The same may be kept as it is.i.e.10, 20 & 30 %
- Two increments at the time of promotion may be provided to compensate the enhancement in grade pay at the time of promotion as the commission had scrapped out the Grade Pay system.
- The rate of increment may be increased from 3% to 5%. Performance based increments after 20th years of service should be scrapped. Increment should be allowed every year.
- Bench marks should be scrapped for the MACP. At least 4 MACPs should be awarded during the service i.e. after completion of service 8th 16th 24th and 30thyears.
- As recommended by the 6th pay commission, the official who has rendered six months service during the year was eligible for yearly increment on 1st July. On this line the official who had completed six months qualifying service and being retired between 1st January to 30th June, one increment may be allowed for pensionery benefits.
- Allowances and advances are being allowed on the basis of National policies. Hence, various allowances and advances disallowed by the 7th CPC may be restored.
I shall remain highly thankful to you for doing the needful.
