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.
Respected Sir,
With due respect, it is submitted that consequent
upon placing IP and ASPs in the same GP of Rs.4600/-, this association made a
representation dated 15.10.2018 and 17-12-2018 followed by reminder
dated 11-3-2019 (Copies enclosed) for grant of 2nd ACP/MACP in GP of
Rs.4800/- with effect from 1-1-2006/1-9-2008 and 3rd MACP in GP of Rs.5400/-
on completion of 30 years of service to all eligible officers at par with IPs.
It is pertinent to mention here that
many of our deprived members have already made representations in the regards
to respective Circle heads but no action has been taken by CPMGs for want of
clarification on fixation of pay in the revised Grade Pay. The up-gradation
benefit of GP with consequential benefits has already been given to IPs, but no
such benefit has been extended to ASPs who are senior in hierarchy despite
repeated requests.
It is requested that suitable orders may kindly be issued to
circles to conduct review DPC for grant of ACP-II/ 2nd MACP in the
GP of Rs. 4800/- from 1-1-2006/1-9-2008 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.
Yours sincerely,

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.
Respected Sir,
Kindly
refer to this association letter dated 15.10.2018 and 17-12-2018 on above mentioned
subject through which Postal Officers had requested for extending benefits of 2nd and 3rd MACP in Grade
pay of 4800/- and 5400/- 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. Copy
of the earlier letters is enclosed for your reference.
In
this respect, it is to be stated that consequent upon placing
the ASP and IP in the same GP of Rs. 4600/- corresponding to the old pay scale
of 7450-225-10500, the promotion granted in the ASP cadre who were working in
that capacity as on 1-1-2006 is required to be ignored. Directorate in the
letter 4-7/ (MACPS) 2009-PCC dated
11-1-2013 had clarified that prior to introduction of MACPs,
promotion/ financial up-gradation in the posts which carry the same grade pay
due to merger of pay scales/ up-gradation recommended by CPC are to be ignored
in terms of clarification given on point of doubt 1 of ACPs in the letter dated 10-2-2000.
As
such the pay fixture benefit to those ASPs who were promoted prior to 1-1-2006 or
who got financial up-gradation prior to 1-1-2006 needs revision as on 01-01-2006 in the same manner as was done in case
of other cadres in their respective hierarchy. In our cadre it should be GP of
4600/-, 4800 and 5400/- for 1, 2 & 3rd financial up-gradations.
Following illustrations would explain the position:
1.
|
Date of appointment of an applicant in entry grade
as PA in the pre-revised pay scale of
260-480
|
DOJ in the department 30-12-1981
|
Entry in department It is common for all.
|
2.
|
1st promotion in IP cadre in the pay
scale of 1400-2300, up-graded to 5500-9000 by 5th pay commission
now upgraded to the scale of 7450-225-10500
in the GP of 4600 (1-1-06)
|
Date of promotion in the cadre of Inspector
Post 30-01-1989
|
Both the cadres have now been placed in the same GP w.e.f 1-1-06 which should
be treated as 1st promotion or MACP.
|
3.
|
2nd
promotion in ASP cadre 6500-200-10500. The ASPs were given GP of Rs. 4600/- corresponding to the upgraded old
pay Scale of 7450-225-10500 as on
1.1.2006. At that time no bunching benefit was given and pay was fixed
with multiple of 1.86 what was drawing in scale of 6500-200-10500.
|
Date of promotion in the scale of 6500-200-10500
7-12-2001
|
|
4.
|
3rd MACP
in GP of 4800/- now level 8 which has
been conferred to ASPs w.e.f 1-1-2016 and are given 2nd promotion
or MACP as the case may be.
|
7-12-2011
|
This should be treated as 2nd MACP to ASP promoted prior to 1.1.2006
|
5.
|
Now 3rd MACP is being conferred in the GP
of Rs. 5400/- on completion of 30
years of service to all ASP eligible for MACP or promotion.
|
Still virtually
working in 5400/- as fixation is not done on 1-1-2016
|
This should be
treated as 3rd MACP to ASP
promoted prior to 1.1.2006 when it is considered for those promoted after
1.1.2016
|
Apparently both the
scales of IPs and ASPs have been merged and granted GP of Rs. 4600 w.e.f.
01.01.2006 corresponding to old pay scale of 5500-9000 in which applicant get 1st
promotion & 6500-225-10500 upgraded to GP of Rs. 4600/- equal to the old
pay scale of 7450-225-60500 w.e.f. 01.01.2006.
Consequent upon merger
of two scales and placing both the scales in GP of Rs. 4600/- the applicant
become eligible to 2nd MACP on completion of 20 years of service in
the GP of Rs. 4800/- w.e.f. 01.01.2006.
However, if the department considers it that financial up-gradation
under MACP cannot be conferred from the date prior to 01.09.2008 in such a case
2nd financial up-gradation in GP of Rs. 4800/- can be given from
01.09.2008. The applicant will
accordingly become eligible for 3rd MACP in the GP of 5400/- on
completion of 30 years of total service or after rendering of 10 years service
in 2nd MACP.
Since the review DPC is
applicable for other similar placed officers in all the circles as promotion in
ASP cadre can vary from circle to circle so this association request you to
please issue common orders to all the circles to conduct review DPC for all the
ASP/ P S Group B officers so that no one feel discriminated.
Thanking you and remains.

No. CHQ/POA/1-26/2017-18 Dated 17.12.18
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.
Respected Sir,
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
higher pay are equal then the promotion or the ACP (financial up gradation) already
given has to be ignored and fresh ACP should be positioned.
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 up-gradations.
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

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/-
|
Pay in pay band PB-2 of Rs. 9300-34800/- after
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 PB-2.
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.
