No. CHQ/POA/1-29/2017-18 Dated 17.12.18
Sub. Request
for grant of Non-functional
Grade Pay to PS Group ‘B’ officers on
completion of four years of regular service in PS Group B.
Respected Sir,
Your kind attention is invited towards this Associations letter
number CHQ/POA/1-22/2017-18 dated 23.08.18 (Copy enclosed as Annex-A) wherein it was requested to issue necessary orders for grant of Non Functional Selection Grade to PS Group ‘B’ officers on completion of four
years of regular services as was granted during 6th CPC
recommendation and now same has been extended in all cadres. Whereas no such orders have been passed for
Group B officers extending the benefit of Non-functional Grade Pay and fixture benefit of higher
responsibility on promotion as required under rule FR 22 1(A) 1 to PS Group B
officers.
It is retreated that on the recommendation of
7th CPC, Postal Superintendents (PS Group B officers) of DOP have
been given upgraded GP of
Rs. 5400/- w.e.f 1.1.2016 without withdrawing benefit of NFGP after four years
of service in Group B. Apparently benefit of pay fixation as required under
Rule 13 of CCS (Revised Pay Rules) 2016 covered under FR 22 1(a) 1 is required
to be bestowed on completion of four years of service at level 10.
Unfortunately this benefit of NFSG has not been conferred to PS Group officers
on completion of four years of regular service. Merely placement in GP of
Rs.5400/- without actual pay fixture is against the fundamental rules in view
of Rule 13 of CCS (Revised Pay Rules) 2016. As such, it is clear that PS Group
B officer has been given GP of Rs. 5400/-( Level 9) as a replacement to Rs.
4800/- w.e.f 1.1.2016 without withdrawing benefit of NFGP after four years of
service in Group B that should be at level 10.
In this regards
attention is also invited towards Ministry of Finance letter No.
26017/219/2016- Ad.II.A dated 10-4-2017 (copy enclosed as Annex-B) wherein it
has been clarified to the revenue department that since 7th CPC
recommended only normal replacement pay level for Superintendents so NFSG
introduced on the basis of 6th CPC recommendation will continue
under 7th CPC regime by replacing the pay structure of pay band and
Grade Pay with the corresponding Pay Levels/ Cells in Pay Matrix. As such PS
Group B officers are also eligible for fixture of pay on completion of four
years of service in Group ‘B’ with corresponding pay levels/cells in Pay Matrix.
It is pertinent to mention here that NFSG is being allowed in all the cadres as
given in the recommendation of 6th CPC. Hence putting PS Group B
officers at disadvantageous and detrimental position by not extending the benefit
of NFGP is great injustice.
From the foregoing submissions it unambiguously clear that as given in
the various GoI notifications PS Group B officers are eligible for grant of non
functional up-gradation after four years of regular service in PS Group “B” by
replacing the pay structure of Pay Band and grade Pays with corresponding Pay
Levels/Cells in Pay Matrix i.e level 10 with all
consequential benefits.
With warm regards
Yours sincerely,

No.
CHQ/POA/1-30/2017-18 Dated 15.10.18
Sub: Request for redefining the financial benefits
in term of 2nd ACP and 3rd MACP at appropriate GP to
senior IPs/ASPs , consequent
upon placing IPs & ASPs in the same GP of
4600/- w.e.f 1-1-2006 and extending benefit of bunching.
Respected Sir,
Your kind attention is
invited to a letter written by Postal officer association (Copy enclosed as
Annex-I) to remove the anomaly occurred due to placing IPs and ASPs at the
identical level of 4600/- w.e.f 1-1-2006. These orders nullified the promotion of
ASPs (Gazetted) and placed ASPs now working as PS Group B officer in a
detrimental and disadvantageous position.
Though
briefed in earlier letters, it is again detailed that on the recommendation of
6th pay commission, the pay scale of ASPs was upgraded to
7450-225-10500 from 6500-200-10500. At that time pay of the ASPs were fixed
with the multiple of 1.86 with addition of GP of 4600 with reference to what
ASPs were drawing in the old scale of 6500-200-10500. This was done without
extending benefit of bunching. Thus Department of Expenditure OM No.1/1/2008-IC
dated 30.08.2008 given under Rule 7(1) (a)(i) & (ii) of CCS (RP) Rules-2008
was completely ignored which otherwise clearly envisages that whose scale has
been upgraded from 6500-10500/- to 7450-11500/- in the pre-revised scale and placed
in the pay band Rs.9300-34800/- in such cases bunching benefit should be
extended in the following manner.
Stage
|
Basic Pay in the
pre-revised pay scale of 6500-200-10500 with multiple factor of 1.86
|
Revised initial Pay in
pay band PB-2 of Rs. 9300-34800/- without
addition of GP of Rs.4600/-

including benefit of bunching in the pre revised scale 6500-10500

Furthermore,
consequent upon placing ASPs and IPs in the same GP of 4600/- corresponding to
the old pay scale of 7450-225-10500 that ASPs never enjoyed even prior to
1-1-2006, the promotion already given to ASPs in the lower scale of 6500-200-10500 has become redundant
and need to be discarded. As clarified in DoPT OM No.
35034/1/97-Estt (D) (Vol. IV) dated 12.02.2000 and 18.7.2001, the ASPs are
apparently eligible for 2nd ACP in the scale of 7500-250-12000 (GP
of 4800/-) on completion of 24 years service. On introduction of MACP, the ASPs become eligible for 3rd
MACP on completion of 30 years of service in the GP of Rs.5400/-.
It is
pertinent to mention here that Postal Directorate while circulating salient
features of MACP has also clearly mentioned in para 5 (a) & (b) of the MACP
scheme circulated from file number 4-7(MACPS) 2009-PCC dated 18-9-2009 that:
(a)
A Government servant who was recruited in the
pre-revised pay scale 5000-8000 and who did not get a promotion even after 25
years of service prior to 1-1-2006 in his case as on 1-1-2006 he would have got
two financial up-gradations under ACP to the next grades in the hierarchy of
his organisation to the pre-revised scales 5500-9000, 6500-10500.
(b)
Another
Government recruited in the same hierarchy in the pre-revised scale of
Rs.5000-8000 has also completed 25 years of service but not got two promotions
to the next higher grades of Rs.5500-9000 and Rs. 6500-10500 during his period.
Thus in both the
cases, since GP of Rs. 4200 will be granted so the promotion/Financial
up-gradations given under ACP Scheme to the pre-revised scales of Rs.
5000-8000, 5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 so financial up-gradation will be
granted both in the case of (a) and (b) above to the next higher grade pay of
Rs. 4600/- and Rs.4800/- in the pay band PB2.
Besides,
DG (P) in letter number 4-7/(MACPS)2009-PCC dated 11-1-2013 after taking
clearance from DoPT has further clarified that prior to introduction of MACPS,
promotion/financial up-gradation in Posts which carry the same GP due to merger
of pay scales/up-gradation recommended by the CPC are to be ignored in terms of
clarification given on point of doubt 1 of ACP dated 10-2-2000 for the purpose
of ACP. Accordingly all promotions/ financial up-gradations in Posts which
carry the same grade pay due to merger of Pay scales/ up-gradation under the
MACPs provided the posts carry the same grade pay have been merged. In view of
this, ASPs should be given GP of Rs.4800/- from 1-1-2006 i.e two promotion upto
1-1-2006 who completed 24 years of service. Thereafter 3rd MACP on
completion of 30 years of continuous service from the date of joining in PA
cadre in the GP of Rs. 5400/-.
In
view of the clarifications issued by Directorate and DoPT, It is requested that
suitable orders may kindly be issued to circles to conduct review DPC for grant
of ACP-II in the GP of Rs. 4800/- from 1-1-2006 for those who completed 24
years of service as on 1-1-2006 and 3rd MACP in the GP Rs.5400/- on
completion of 30 years of service with all consequential benefits. Also as per Department
of Expenditure OM No.1/1/2008-IC dated 30.08.2008 given under Rule 7(1) (a)(i)
& (ii) of CCS (RP) Rules-2008
bunching benefit as required under the rules may kindly be ordered to extend.
Thanking
you and remains.
Yours sincerely,
(R N YADAV)

sir,
After the up gradation of grade pay of IP to Rs. 4600, both IPs and ASPs are in the Pay Band PB2 Rs 9300 - 34800 with GP 4600 w.e.f.01.01.2006.
Hence as per VI CPC fitment table S - 13 the minimum of Rs 13860 + 4600 = 18460 should be given both to IPs and ASPs.
Accordingly Bunching Table has to be prepared as from 13860 for 5500 and not as from 13860 for 6500. Bunching Table should be prepared for IPs and after that ASPs should be placed in the appropriate place.
This will give benefit to all senior IPs and ASPs.
Please check up this and act as deemed fit.
Otherwise the draft is fine and act quickly.
