Request for issue of orders to grant financial benefits on 01/01/2006 to senior IPs, ASPs and Group B officers consequent upon placing IPs & ASPs in the same scale.

It is again requested to kindly go through both the letters so that Association may able to take up common issue with Secretary Post in right perspective and with the consent of all. Kindly must comment for correction if required to be made in the below mentioned draft. Kindly spare some time.  

To
Sh. A.N.Nanda,
The Secretary (Post)
                     Department of Post
                   DakBhawan, SansadMarg
                   New Delhi-100001

No.     CHQ/POA/1-26/2017-18                              Dated 15.10.18

Sub:  Request for issue of orders to grant financial benefits on 01/01/2006 to senior IPs, ASPs and Group B officers consequent upon placing IPs & ASPs in the same scale.
                Postal officer Association intend to refer to Postal Directorate letter number 2-12/2013-PCC dated 24-10-2017 and to inform you that consequent upon placing IPs and ASPs in the same GP w.e.f 1-1-2006, the Grade Pay of both the cadre has became identical at the level of 4600/-. This position has placed the ASPs (Gazetted) in a detrimental and disadvantageous level. As such the promotion already awarded at the level of ASPs prior to 1-1-2006 or working as ASPs on that day has now no meaning and thus stood nullified. Due to this disadvantageous position DoPT in a point of doubt no.1 of Annexure of ACP order no.45034/1/97-Estt(D) dtd 09.08.99 had clarified that when the lower pay and the higher pay are equal the ACP (financial up-gradation) given to ASP has to be ignored and fresh ACP should be given.
Furthermore, since ASPs and IPs have been placed in the same GP of 4600/- corresponding to the old pay scale of 7450-225-10500 so provision for grant of MACP or ACP will have to be redefined in view of the clarification issued on ACP scheme vide DoPT OM No. 35034/1/97-Estt (D) (Vol. IV) dated 12.02.2000 and 18.7.2001. As also provided in postal directorate letter no.4-7/(MACPS)/2009/PCC dated 18-9-2009 promotion earned /up-gradation granted under the ACP schemes in the past to those grades which now carry the same GP due to the merger of the scales/ up-gradation of posts recommended by the sixth pay commission shall be ignored for the purpose of up-gradation under Modified ACPs.
Apparently the pay fixture benefit to those ASPs who were promoted prior to 1-1-2006 from IPs or who got financial up-gradations prior to 1-1-2006 needs revision as on 01-01-2006 in the same manner as done in case of MTS when they were granted GP of 1900, 2000 & 2400 for 1, 2 & 3rd financial upgradations.
 Association, therefore urge Secretary Posts to issue orders with regard to extending benefits of Grade pay of 4800 and 5400 as on 01-01-2006 to all senior IPs/ASPs, who were promoted to ASP/PS group B cadre or had been granted 2nd financial up-gradation prior to 01/01/2006.

With profound regards

Yours Sincerely


R N Yadav
General Secretary

Sir,
In the first para, the last sentence to be corrected as follows.

".... had clarified that when the lower pay and higher pay are equal then the promotion or the ACP fiancial up gradation given already has to be ignored and fresh ACP should be given."

All other things are OK.

Shivaraj khindemath SP Chitradurga. Sir in my view we have to send this draft letter to Secretary and also file court case to implement fully judgement on upgradation of IP scale where it has been clearly mentioned that ASP to be given higher scale. Further file one morecase on giving 5400 grade pay on completion of 4 years worked in 4800 grade pay as given to other dept. Contribution from member will be collected and I am confident that judgement definetly in our favour.

Sir, Namasthe. I am subbarajan Dy Manager Networks CEPT CHENNAI.....Regarding one increment to ASPs as on 01.01.2006, two scenario can be discussed.(1). Those who got ASP prior to 01.01.2006. And (2) Those who got ASP by 01.01.2006.
In respect of case (1). It is clear case vide MOF No 10/02/2011.E.III/A dated 7th January 2013 is very clear and can straight away be applied. (2) In respect of case 2, those IPs getting promotion on 01.01.2006, and after will be in 4600 GP, should not opt for one increment. Since the notings sent to MOF, clearly ascribes, giving one increment in same grade pay....."In view of this fixation benefit shall promotion shall be counted towards ACPS/MACPS as IP/ASP cadres are covered by erstwhile ACP scheme................
Hence this will impact their MACP, as the grant of increment after 01.01.2006, will be counted against MACP as per ACP rules. If this is not demanded, they are eligible for 4800 after 10 years of IP cadre, as both are in same grade (identical sale).

Sir
We should not ask one increment for ASP in the same grade pay. We should immediately demand higher grade pay of Rs.4800 for ASP and Rs.5400 for Group B w.e.f. 01.01.2006 . ASP scale is always the promotional post and having higher pay scale than IP Scale before 6th pay commission and higher grade pay than IP in 6th and 7th pay commission. Already ACP rulings are there for fresh ACP when there is same grade pay for lower and higher post. Our demand should be higher grade pay for ASP and SP from 01.01.2006.

Sir
We should immediately demand higher grade pay for ASP and Group B w.e.f. 01.01.2006. and not one increment

Every thing is ok . You may forward and process the case on priority basis.several people/officers were retired/expired without enjoying the fruits

Besides the above letter to the Secretary, Deptt of Posts , all aggrieved officers must fwd their representations to the respective HODs/HOCs/ Secretary Posts, as the case may be to consider the representations at length and to issue appropriate orders timely and disposing the cases expeditiously thereby. In my view a maximum of three bunchings should be given to IPs having more than 12 years service as on 01-01-2006 in addition to one additional benegit of 3% increment of pay on 01-01-2006. I hope most of us shall agree to this reasoning
