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

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

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 30th years.
- 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.
