A
delegation of Civil Service officers representing the “Confederation of Civil
Service Associations” called on the Union Minister of State (Independent
Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel,
Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh here
and sought his intervention for implementing the recommendations of the 7th
Central Pay Commission (CPC) report, so as to address their long standing
grievance of discrimination vis-a-vis certain other All-India Services.
In a memorandum presented to the Minister yesterday, members of the delegation acknowledged that the 7th CPC, while recommending the status-quo, had addressed their long pending demand for "parity" with other services. But, the memorandum alleged that the main cause of resentment among the non-IAS Civil Service Officers was that all the senior level posts covering majority of Departments, be it technical or administrative, are today manned by IAS Officers, which is the main cause of grievance among the non-IAS Civil Service Officers. The memorandum called for giving equitable treatment to all the Services so that the gap between the IAS and other Services does not widen and lead to, what they described as, chaotic situation.

The
memorandum claimed that the majority view in the 7th CPC was in favour of
changing the status-quo on the issue of pay disparity also. They said, at
present, there is a clear edge enjoyed by the IAS and Indian Foreign Service
over other Services in terms of additional increments.
The
memorandum requested that disparity in Pay may kindly be removed altogether. In
addition, it also requested that the new system of cadre restructuring be
adopted and a comprehensive cadre review may be undertaken by all Services so
that officers can get promoted in time.
The
memorandum also requested that in the Committee of Secretaries, appointed by
the Government to examine the report of the 7th CPC, such members should be
appointed who represent all different sections of stakeholders and may function
with neutrality.
Dr
Jitendra Singh gave the delegation a patient hearing and said that he will
forward their case to the Union Finance Ministry.
