The agenda as follows: 

             1.Convening of JTS DPC meeting:    From association side it was placed that no DPC has been held for the vacancies after 2016. Hence, many officer are retiring without getting their due JTS promotion. Matter was discussed in details and it was stated by DDG (P) sir that they are preparing for DPC. However, it will depend on outcome of pending court case. 

             2. Extension of Non Functional Grade to PS Group B Offices: From association side it was strongly placed that in VI th pay commission, NFU was granted to PS Gr. B officer due to stagnation in cadre but in VIIth CPC, neither it has been granted nor denied. Still in PS Gr B cadre we are facing stagnation that will continue even after we get timely promotion. It was stated by DDG(Estt) that proposal was already rejected in the year 2019. On request of association administration is ready once again to submit the proposal to MOF.
