PS GR"B" LDCE & ASSOCIATION
We are aware that the result of LDCE for promotion to PS Group-B has not been declared due to pendency of cases before the honourable CAT. The PS Group-B exam was held on 18th December 2016 and already 14 months lapsed. Many candidates are eagerly waiting for results so that they may plan accordingly as this month is the most crucial being the end/beginning of academic year of children.It was also decided in AIC held at RAJGIR to pursue the case for early declaration of result.A team comprising of Myself (GS), CHQ President, Treasure, Vice-president and OG Secretary had contacted the Secretary , Member(P), DDG, Directors and other officers and requested for early declaration of result . The officers assured for early declaration of result. It was also intimated that CAT cases are also causing delay. At this stage , pursuing the O.As/M.As already filed will hamper not only the interest of the candidates, it will also cause delay to future LDCE. It is learnt that 02 MAs have been filed before CAT Ernakulam Bench by a member in individual capacity in this connection. All such members are requested to withdraw the cases filed by them and clear path for declaration of result.
It is also made clear that this Association has not filed any case as on date regarding LCDE PS Group-B conducted in the year 2016 and neither it supports nor sponsors such cases.
New CHQ body is having full of youth and is committed to take care of both Exam aspirants as well as of seniors so now onwards nothing one sided will take place. As far as declaration of result and DPC are concerned, CHQ is going to write it to DG for instant action.

The Secretary (Posts)
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi 110001.
Sub:- Non implementation of Directorate
Orders of dated 24.10.2017 vide which the Grade pay of Inspector of Posts has
been upgraded to Rs. 4600/- (PB-2) w.e.f. 01.01.2006 in the 6th CPC structure
in pursuance of Para 7.6.14 of its report.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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

Subject : Holding of DPC for promotion
and declaration of result to the cadre
of PS Gr. B.
Respected ,
IP/ASP
Association would like to invite your kind attention towards its letter of even
no. dated 30.09.2017, 11.11.2017 and 12.12.2017 wherein it was requested to call for records for convening regular DPC
for the year 2017-2018 & 2018 - 2019.
But till date Directorate has not issued the list of officers in the
zone of consideration to circles. All are well aware that this year DPC is badly
delayed for the one or other reasons.
Often it is quoted that as IPO cadre is the
backbone of the department and the cadre plays most vital role in
implementation of government’s/ department’s policies. But it is also true that IPO cadre is the most
deprived and suffered cadre in the department. Vacancies in PS Gr. “B” cadre,
which is promotional cadre for IPO cadre, are not being filled up timely.
Result of Limited departmental competitive examination conducted in the year
2016 (almost 14 months ago) has not been declared till date and neither the DPC
for the year 2017-2018 & 2018-2019 is conveyed till date. Many senior
IP/ASP who consider themselves under zone of consideration for DPC, are eagerly
awaiting DPC but it seems that many of them will retire without getting
promoted to Ps. Group Cadre due to non conveying of DPC on time, IPs/ASPs who appeared
in LDCE 2016 are also losing
patience . Senior ASPs are officiating in PS Gr. “B” on adhoc basis for a
period of 11 months and then repatriated to ASP posts. There is complete
uncertainty about tenure of such officers and same is the position with the IPs
working as Adhoc ASP. Confirm vacancies in IP/ASP cadre is not arising due to
non declaration of LDCE result and non convening of DPC.
This association
expects that the competent authority will look into the matter personally and
take all required action for redressal of genuine & deserving request being
made herein.
With due regards,
Yours
Sincerely

Respected Sir,
The 40th
All India Conference of ALL India Association of Inspectors and Assistant

on 9th and 10th February 2018 and above subject was
discussed in detail. After discussion, following resolution was passed unanimously by All
India Conference.
“ AIC Rajgir
unanimously resolved to request Director General (P) to issue necessary
directions not to resort to penal action against IP/ASPs for not achieving
BD/PLI/RPLI targets. It has been
observed that IP/ASPs are being subject to penal action for not achieving

We hope that an
