Proposal for merger of ASP cadre with PS Gr. B cadre

All are aware that recently GS, CHQ President, CHQ Treasurer, OGS-II and CS WB Circle met with Member (P), DDG (Estt) and discussed the pending issues including merger of IP/ASP cadre.  During the course of discussion it was apprised to the administration that copy of the resolution passed in AIC Bangalore on merger issue was submitted to Directorate on 22/2/2012. Thereafter officers dealing our case asked this Association to submit a fresh proposal of merger of IP/ASP cadre immediately. The essence of the scheduled meetings at different level remains that association have to accept merger of ASPs to IPs and ASPs to PS Group “B” in a given ratio by surrendering gazetted status, ASPs presently enjoying. 

Now, time has come that we have to think with some broad mind. As such arguable proposal from our side should consist of upgradation of all the divisions to class-I having one or two posts of PS Group “B” with independent powers by up-gradating the existing post of ASP(HQ) to SP(HQ) and conversion of all the sub divisions to that of IPs in the GP of Rs.4600/- making them comparable with Inspectors in CBDT/ CBEC after merger of remaining posts of ASP to that of IPs. Where posts of OS exist that should also be upgraded to SP (HQ) or Dy SP. It will also be proposed that all post of ASPs presently held in Circles and Regions be upgraded to the level of Asstt. Directors. The post of IP (CO/RO) can be retained as it is.

The IP cadre will be benefited in the following way:

1. GP of Rs.4600/- at entry stage.
2. First MACP in GP of Rs. 4800/-(direct recruits)  & 2nd for promotee after 10 years service in IP cadre
3. Next promotion in PS Group “B’” in GP of Rs 4800/- after 16-17 years but without financial benefit.
4. 2nd MACP in the GP of Rs.5400/- after 20 years in IP cadre. Thus, the IP having total 26 years of service can get 5400/- which today we are not getting even after 34 years of service even if inducted to IP cadre after rendering 6 years service in PA cadre.
5. 3rd MACP in GP of Rs.5400/- in PB-3(direct recruits).  
6. Upgradation of PSG “B” to JTS and ASP(HQ) to SP(HQ)
7. In 6th cadre review of IPos, it is learnt that few STS posts would be down graded to JTS.

The Circle wise IP/ASP posts are furnished herewith for kind information.
