Non drawal of Grade Pay of Rs.5400/- in
pre-revised pay scale of Rs.9300-34800 as per the admissible pay band fixture
to PS Group B officers working on the post of Sr. Postmaster.
Respected
Sir,
In accordance with the
recommendation of 7th Pay Commission and as accepted by the Govt. of
India the pre-revised of Grade Pay of PS Group 'B' Officers has been revised from
Rs. 4800/ to Rs. 5400/- in the pay scale of Rs. 9300--34800 in PB-2 w.e.f.
01-01-2016.
It is pertinent to mention here that
none of the officers presently working as Sr. Postmasters were promoted in Sr.
Postmaster Cadre. Rather they were promoted in PS Group Cadre. As such all the Group
B officers presently working on the post of Sr. Postmasters are entitled to
Grade pay benefit of Rs. 5400/- in pre-revised scale w.e.f. 01.01.2016 and
accordingly their pay fixture would be fixed in the revised matrix.
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 7th CPC,
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.
In order to remove this deliberately
created faux pass and clear any doubt, if any, you are requested kindly to direct
all the DAPs/GM Finances in the Department to allow to draw GP of Rs. 5400/- to
Sr. Postmasters and allowances as appropriate to the grade pay from 01-01-2016.
An early action is solicited please.
Yours faithfully
