before 7CPC. Hon’ble
Chairman and all Members heard the grievances very patiently in
a positive manner. During the course of discussions, queries raised by
Hon’ble
Chairman and his team were actively replied by GS and his team to their
satisfaction. GS further
requested
Hon’ble Chairman that the pay parity among Inspectors of other Central
Government Departments i.e. Income Tax, Central Excise and Customs,
Assistants
and Personal Assistants in Central Secretariat Services etc. and
Inspector
Posts should be maintained. The duties and responsibilities (i.e. annual
inspections of post offices, cash conveyance without police escorts,
MGNREGS payments, recruitment of GDS staff etc.) of Inspector Posts
and Inspectors working in other departments were also explained in
details before
7CPC. Secretary of 7CPC took note of all new and important points
discussed in the meeting. GS
proposed pay scale to Inspector Posts Rs. 70000-150000 with GP Rs.
14400/- and pay scale to ASP Rs. 70000-150000 with GP Rs. 16200/-.
Shri
Manjunath Hubballi, Circle Secretary, Karnataka Circle Branch presented power
point presentation in a effective manner. He briefed that Inspector Posts and
Assistant Superintendents Posts are Middle Level Managers and they should get more
pay than the staff being supervised by them.
Shri
Roop
Chand, Ex-GS and President Delhi Circle Branch explained the
promotional
avenues available to the IP/ASP cadre also bequeathed an example
of long span of promotion and its stagnation etc. During the course
of discussion, the issue of merger of ASP cadre with PS Group "B"/ IP
cadre was also discussed in detail. Hon’ble Chairman advised us to
pursue this vital issue with the Department of Posts/ Ministry of
Finance and outcome of the same should be reported to 7CPC by separate
note.
Shri
S.S. Kulkarni, Ex-CHQ Treasurer and Ex-Circle Secretary, Maharashtra Circle and
Shri M. S. Ahirrao, President, Maharashtra Circle also took active part in
the discussion. Both the members brought
to the notice of Hon'ble Chairman that Inspectors recruited through
Direct Recruit quota in Department of Posts through SSC are quitting
department immediately due to less Grade Pay than the Inspectors in
other Central Govt. departments and therefore large number of posts of
Inspectors in the department are lying vacant for years together.
The meeting ended with thanks to chair.
