----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Respected Sir,
Your kind attention is invited towaeds
the meeting held in your chamber on 27.12.2017 with members of this association
regarding issuance of clear cut directions to field units to refix the pay of
IP/ASP in compliance to orders issued by Pay Commission Cell of Directorate vide
letter No. 2-12/2013-PCC dated 24.10.2017. A memorandum was also submitted to
your kind honour by the then General Secretary vide letter of even no. dated
27.12.2017 for issuance of clarification in this regard.
The 40th all India Biennial
conference of this association was recently held in Rajgir (Bihar) in which all
members have shown great disappointment on the issue that after a lapse of almost
two months no fruitful order regarding clarification on refixation of pay of
IP/ASP have since been issued by
directorate in this regard.
The matter is therefore, once again
briefed to your kind honour with submission that after a long battle in hon’ble
CAT Ernakulam Bench, this cadre has succeeded in getting upgraded pay scale at
par with their counter parts working in CBDT/CBEC and assistants in CSS. The
orders issued vide Directorate No. 2-12/2013-PCC dated 24.10.2017 in compliance
to orders of Hon’ble CAT Ernakulam Bench is still not implemented in circles
for want of clear cut directions regarding the manner in which the pay of
IP/ASPs are to be fixed w.e.f 01.01.2006. Only a few directly recruited IPs
have been given the benefit in some of the Circles so far.
It is pertinent to mention here that
various Tribunals, High Courts and even Apex Court has already given judgments
with directions to fix minimum pay of the promottee candidates as per criteria
fixed for direct recruits also in revised pay structure. The nodal department
DoE has also issued certain circulars in this regard to fix pay in respect of
promottee officials w.e.f 01.01.2006 in 6th CPC pay structure. But,
it’s a matter of great concern for this cadre that despite issuance of order by
the Directorate on 24.10.2017 the same has not been implemented in its true
spirit because of want of clarification from higher ups about the manner in
which the pay is to be refixed in case of promottee officials. In this regard,
submission of Association was made as under:-
1) The
pay of IPs promoted through LDCE AND Direct recruited IPs through SSC, who joined
as IP prior to 01.01.2006, has to be re-fixed @ 4600 Grade pay in revised 6th
CPC pay structure w.r.t fitment table S-13 corresponding GP of Rs. 4600.
2) The
pay of IPs, who were promoted through LDCE and joined between 01.01.2006 to
30.08.2008 and opted to fix their pay from the date of promotion, shall be
re-fixed @ 4600/- Grade pay under Rule 11 of 6th CPC gazette.
(Annex-03) equal to pre revised upgraded pay scale of Rs. 7450.
3) The manner of fixation of pay of
officials promoted as Inspector Posts between on or after 01-09-2018. It is to
mention that various Tribunals, High Courts and even Apex Court has already pronounced judgments with
direction that initial Pay of the officials promoted on or after 01-01-2006 may
not be fixed lower than the entry level pay which could be drawn by a direct
recruit appointee on or after 01-01-2006”.
Therefore
association once again urges to Secretary Posts to take necessary action for
issuing early clarification regarding the manner in which the pay of IPs/ASPs
is to be refixed in revised pay structure of 6th CPC in pursuance of
para 7.6.14.
For
the sake of uniformity it is once again requested to your kind honour to kindly
issue common order regarding upgradation of pay of Inspector Posts w.e.f
01.01.2006 in pursuance of para 7.6.14 in 6th CPC w.r.t fitment
table S-13 corresponding GP of Rs. 4600.
This association hopes an early and
favorable order for strengthening the backbone of the department by granting
the benefit in its true spirit to all IP/ASP w.e.f 01.01.2006.
With
regards
Yours sincerely
