Our
members are aware that the following issue was brought to the notice of Secretary
(Posts) by CHQ vide letter No. CHQ/AIAIPASP/GP-TPA/2016 dated 31/8/2016 and
finally clarification was received from Nodal Ministry. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE LETTER.
“It is bring to your
kind notice that most of the Director of Accounts (Postal) has not drawn GP of
Rs. 5400/- to the incumbents working on Sr. Postmaster post w. e. f. 1/1/2016.
There may be interpretation in understanding the meaning of the enhancement of
GP of PS Gr. B from Rs. 4800/- to 5400/-. Sr. Postmaster cadre is also a PS Gr.
B cadre like ADPS working in RO/CO and Dy. Directors working under Director
GPOs.
The pre-revised grade
pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB-2 entitles all the PS Group officers (including Sr. PM)
to allowances corresponding to Grade pay Rs. 5400/- but most of the DAP/GM
Finance offices of various circles didn’t allowed drawal of GP of Rs. 5400/- to
Sr. Postmasters and corresponding allowances as admissible w.e.f. 01-01-2016
for no rhyme or reason, for such Group- B officers.
Needless to mention
that Para 4 of letter No.1-5/2016-AC dated 29-07-2016 of Implementation Cell 7thCPC,
Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, prescribes that until a
decision is taken with regard to revision of all the allowances, these
allowances shall continue to be drawn and paid as per the pre-revised pay
structure which in the case of PS Group-B officers (including Sr. Postmasters
presently promoted as PS Group B officers) is Rs.9300-34800+GP 5400/- in PB-2
w.e.f. 01-01-2016 and thus there is absolutely no ambiguity with regard to
payment of allowances corresponding to Grade pay of Rs. 5400/-, which has
already been implemented in the case of PS Group-B officers cadre
w.e.f.01-01-2016”.
