Subject :
Submission of memorandum of All India Association of Inspectors and Assistant Superintendents Posts to 7CPC….clarification
regarding.
Ref. : 7CPC Acknowledgement slip dated
27-8-2014 (copy enclosed)
Respected Sir,
Kindly recall our
Association’s interaction with
your majesty at
‘Kumara Kripa’ during
your visit to
Banglore on 25.08.2014
at around 07.30 PM. As
per the discussions
and instructions, the copies
of Recruitment Rules [Annexure-1] of
both Inspector of
Income Tax/Central Excise
and Inspector Posts
are submitted herewith
for your perusal
and kind consideration.
Further, this
association likes to
bring the following
issues haunting our
cadre in a nutshell.
Point -1 : Non
implementation of 6 CPC
recommendations regarding upgradation
of Grade Pay of Inspector
Posts.
6th
Central Pay Commission
vide its Para
7.6.14 [Annexure-2] had rightly
recommended the upgradation
of scale of
Inspector Posts from
5500-9000 to 6500-10500
and equated the
scale of Inspector
Posts cadre with
that of counterpart
that is Inspector
Of Income Tax / Central
Excise and Assistants
in CSS and put
them in the identical
pay scales considering
that they are all
analogous posts.
But unfortunately, the
same was not
implemented though the
GP of Inspector
of Income Tax/Central
Excise and Assistants
in CSS are upgraded
subsequently by the
separate order of
Ministry Of Finance
vide OM No. 1/1/2008-IC dated
13.11.2009 & 16.11.2009 [Annexure-2A & 2B].
It is
pertinent to note
that the Honourable
CAT, Ernakulam Bench had
issued verdict to
consider the upgradation
of Grade Pay
of IP to
4600/-. [Annexure - 3]
This Association
earnestly requests the
benevolent to kindly
reiterate and recommend the
decision of 6th CPC.
Point
-2 : Considering of Promotion
acquired through LDCE for
the MACP purpose.
Since 66.66
% of the
Inspector cadre posts
are being filled
up through the
Limited Departmental Competitive
Examination, the three
financial upgradations under
MACP scheme has
not been deriving
virtual benefit to
this cadre.
So this
association requests to
delink the promotion
conferred on account
of LDCE with
MACP.
Point-3
: Conferment of similar
Grade Pay to
both the Supervisor
and the Supervised
violating the principle
of Natural Justice.
Inspector and
Assistant Superintendent Posts are the
supervisory cadre and
controlling cadre for
Postmasters, Postal Assistants,
Postmen, MTS. We have
to carry out annual
inspections, surprise visits
and also investigate
the fraud cases
during which the
statements of the
supervisory/operative staff has
to be recorded
and office records
to be seized. Further, the
honorarium bills, establishment
statistics, public complaints
against the operative
staff are to be
verified and enquired
into by our
cadre. To back, IP/ASP
cadre officers are
being nominated as
Inquiry Officer and
Presenting Officer in
the Departmental Inquiries
of Rule-14 of
CCS[CCA] Rules 1965.
Such being
the case, this cadre
could not enforce
required command and
control over the
subordinate staff in the
light of
the fact that
they remain in the
same Grade Pay
by virtue of
MACP and merger
of pre revised scales
of 5 Pay
Commission 5000/-, 5500/-
and 6500/- which
was given the
common replacement Grade
Pay of 4200/-. Actually, this
merger of three
scales has downgraded
the pay of
Inspectors instead of
upgrading. As a result,
the Clerical/supervisory staff
lie with the
identical Grade Pay
of 4200/- thereby
dismantling the entire
fabric of hierarchical structure
of the operative
and administrative cadre.[Copy
of Hierarchy is enclosed-Annexure-4]
So this
association fervently
request the benevolent
to consider this anomaly
and recommend the
Pay of the
Administrative Cadre over
and above the
pay of supervisory
cadre.
Point-4
: Injustice in fixation
of pay as
on 01.01.2006 for
Inspector Cadre.
Though Inspector Posts
scale was upgraded
from 5500-9000 to
6500-10500, while fixing
the pay as
on 01.01.2006, only
replacement Grade pay
of 4200 was
accorded and the
pay was fixed
with the pre revised
pay of 5500
and not on
par with the
upgraded pay of
6500/-. The minimum pay
of 6500 X 1.86 was
not allowed and
thus utterly disgusting
and depreciating the
morale of the
cadre due to huge
financial loss which
will have cascading
effect in our
entire career including
pension.
This association
humbly pray the
benevolent to consider
all the above
aspects and make
appropriate and favorable
recommendations and resolve
all our predicament.
With respectful regards,
Yours sincerely,
(Vilas Ingale)
General Secretary
