Request for Grant of one increment as provided in MOF OM No. 10/2/2011.E.III/A dated 7-1-2013 to ASPs in the identical GP of Rs. 4600/- to ASPs w.e.f 1-1-2006 .


Sir as tweeted in the Postal Officers Whatsapp Group below place is a separate letter for our demand of addition of one increment as provided in MOF OM No. 10/2/2011.E.III/A dated 7-1-2013 to ASPs in the identical GP of Rs. 4600/- who were working  ASPs w.e.f 1-1-2006 . Kindly go through this letter and submit your kind views if any change is required. Two more letters will be drafted for Grant of GP of Rs. 5400/- after completion of 30 years of service and other for grant of one increment in GP of Rs. 5400 on completion of four years of service in PS Group B. Sir cooperation of our esteemed members is required.

Respected Sir,

        Postal directorate vide letter number 2-12/2013-PCC dated 24-10-2017 had issued orders revising the GP of Inspector Posts from 4200/- to 4600/- but without resolving the anomalies taken place in the hierarchy. In view of this proviso Postal officer Association had already requested your kind honour to issue orders for grant of one increment to other officers who had worked as ASP as on 1-1-2006, besides revision in ACP/MACP to maintain hierarchical balance. But no specific orders for Group B officer who were at that time working as ASPs or PS Group B officers have been issued along with above orders despite our demand for issuing simultaneous orders in chain of command.

It is reiterated that under 5th pay commission IPs were in the pay scale of 5500-175-9000, the ASPs in 6500-10500 and PS Group B officers in 7500-250-12000. On merger of three scales, IPs were given GP of Rs.4200/-, ASPs 4600/- which was replacement of upgraded scale of 7450-225-11500. Though pay scale of ASPs was upgraded to 7450-225-1150 from 6500-200-10500 facilitating placement of ASPs in GP of 4600/- yet no financial benefit of this up-gradation was conferred to ASPs as on 1-1-2006. Now consequent upon grant of GP of Rs. 4600/- to IPs w.e.f 1-1-2006 with consequential benefit of fixture of pay at the minimum of 17140/- the equation has changed. As such keeping ASPs at the same GP of Rs.4600/- without financial benefit of addition of increment or fixture of pay given under the rules is great injustice and discriminatory to senior officer.

 Moreover as provided in MOF OM No. 10/2/2011.E.III/A dated 7-1-2013(copy enclosed), the fixation of pay on promotion from one post to another where promotional post carries the same GP as the feeder post, in such cases fixture of pay will be done in the manner as prescribed in Rule 13 (i) of CCS (RP) rules 2008.  Apparently the officer who were working as ASPs as on 1-1-2006 are also eligible for fixture of pay w.e.f 1-1-2006 in the identical scale for two different cadres after giving benefit of increment and bunching.
         
Furthermore, since ASPs and IPs have been placed in the same scale 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. Obviously, the promotion granted to the post of ASP from the lower pay scale of IP is required to be ignored. 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.

 In the light of above submissions and the fact that cadre of Inspector Post (Non-Gazetted) and ASP (Gazetted) have been placed in the identical GP of Rs. 4600/-, it is most humbly prayed that pay of the all eligible Group B officers who were working as ASPs as on 1-1-2006 may kindly be ordered to re-fix w.e.f 1-1-2006 by giving addition of one increment and redefined the prevision of MACP/ACP as submitted above keeping in view  the provision of ACP/MACP . This will meet the end of justice.
       
With profound regards.

Sir
Why the demand of just addition of one increment to ASP on 01.01.2006.
Since before upgradation of IP grade pay to 4600 the ASP scale/grade pay is higher than IP. In 7th pay commission also ASP scaleb is placed higher than IP. Then why it identical for ten years from 2006 and 2016.
Our demand should be 4800 for ASP and 5400 for Group B w.e.f 01.01.2006. Demand of mere one Addisonal increment for ASP from 01.01.2006 is not correct. Pl reconsider and place demand of refining ASP and GROUP B as 4800 and 5400 w.e.f 01.01.2006.

Sir,
I fully endorse the view of Sri. S. Balachandran Madurai.
In the ACP orders after VI CPC it is clearly mentioned that the promotion given to the higher post should be ignored when the pay scales of lower post and higher post are merged or when the pay scale of lower post is upgraded to that of higher post.
Accordingly the promotion or ACP II in the Grade pay of 4600 given to the officials on or before 01.01.2006 should be ignored and they should be given ACP II in the grade pay of 4800 and MACP III with GP of Rs. 5400.
Since the IPs are given higher pay fixation 17140 with bunching benefit ASP officials should also be given fixation benefits with bunching.
We should argue on these lines only and asking simply one increment is not at all correct.
with regards

Sir we are taking all these issues one by one.You are absolutely correct and we are placing our demands accordingly. Actually many officers who have completed 24 years of service prior to 1-1-2006 are not eligible for fixture of pay under 2nd ACP but are eligible for 3rd MACP in GP of Rs.5400/- on completion of 30 years of total service in the department. Hence we have demanded one increment of higher responsibility as on 1-1-2006 for those who were ASPs on 1-1-2006 with bunching benefit if any. However those who have completed 20 years of service after 1-9-2008 will get 2nd MACP in GP of Rs 4800/-( Benefit of MACP w.e.f 1-1-2006 is pending in the court of law). Here bunching for others will work individually and we can not take up this issue at association level. However we are demanding 3rd MACP on completion of 30 years in GP of Rs.5400/- with addition of one increment one completion of 4 years of service in PS Group B.

Sir
As per point of doubt no.1 of Annexure of ACP order no.45034/1/97-estt(D) dtd 09.08.99,when the lowerpay and the higher pay are equal the ACP (financial upgradation) and also the ASP promotion (In our case) has to be ignored and fresh ACP should be given fresh. Hence those who completed 24 years also will get benefit.The demand of additional increment is not correct. So please consider again and demand ACP fresh on 01.01.2006 or demand fixation of ASP grade pay of 4800 and SP grade pay as 5400 w.e.f 01.01.2006.
Thank u

Sir in my view court judgementis not fully implemented( given in c/w upgradation of IP) in that it is clearly mentioned that ASP to be given higher scale. So we have to file a case in court asking to implement fully to meet Justice.
