IP Grade Pay

my appeal to all members, pl read it & act immediately so as to get higher pay.
k.ezhi, cs.

Dear friends,

Immediately after the release of 6th CPC, Our Association demanded higher grade pay of Rs 4600 to IP , Rs 4800 to ASP and Rs 5400 to PS Group B. The matter is still pending with Anomaly Committee for more than one year. During discussion, concerned officers in the Postal Directorate assured that the Grade Pay would be revised upwardly as soon as the Grade Pay of analogous cadre in other ministries/departments is revised.

Now the grade pay of Inspectors of CBDT/CBEC and Assistants in CSS has been revised from Rs 4200 to Rs 4600 vide Ministry of Finance Memo. No. F.No. 1/1/2008-IC dt.13.11.2009 and 16.11.2009. Referring this, I have already submitted letter No. CHQ/IASP/SCPC dated 16.11.2009 to Postal Directorate demanding Grade Pay Rs 4600 to Inspector Posts and a reminder was issued on 14.12.2009 besides meeting personally and had discussion with Director General (Posts) and DDG(Estt). But the file is not moving in the expected speed.

Enough time has already been given. We cannot prolong our patience furthermore. It is the time to react. Each one of us has to exert pressure on the Department. Then only we can get justice.

Please go through the following instructions carefully and do it immediately:

1. Every IP and ASP has to write a letter to DG individually with a copy to me.
2. Model letter is given below. Take print out. Two copies should be prepared. One should be sent to the following address:
Ms. Radhika Doraiswamy, Director General, Department of Posts, Dak Bhawan, New Delhi-110001
Another copy of this letter may be sent to the following address:
Shri. S.Samuel, General Secretary, AIAIASP, No.12.P&T Colony, Civil Lines, New Delhi-110054.
3. All Circle Secretaries and CHQ Office bearers are requested to personally request all members both IP & ASPs to send this letter.
4. All IP & ASPs are requested to pass on this message to all members and ensure that this letter is dispatched immediately as instructed above.
5. The letter writing campaign should be completed by 10.1.2010 positively.

Yours sincerely,

S.Samuel, General Secretary

IP Grade Pay

Merger of IP / ASP cadre : GS e mail.

I have attached one file containing information on merits and demerits of merger of IP & ASP. Lease offer your comments. I request all Circle Secretaries to send their opinion.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF IP AND ASP CADRES ARE MERGED?
Merits:-
1. All IPs will get GP of Rs 4600 w.e.f. 1.1.2006 and all will get arrears immediately.

2. As the IP and ASP cadre will be merged, the promotions already given from IP to ASP will be ignored for MACPS. The MACPS to IP cadre will be as follows:-
Promoted IPs* After 10 years of service in IP Cadre or 20 Years of total
GP Rs 4800 (2nd Promotion) After 20 Years of Service in IP Cadre or 30 years of total
GP Rs 5400 (3rd Promotion)
Direct IPs** After 10 years of service as IP
GP Rs 4800 (1st Promotion) After 20 years of service as IP
GP Rs 5400 (2nd Promotion) After 30 years of service as IP
GP Rs 6600 (3rd Promotion)
* It is presumed that no promotion will be given within 20 years of service in IP cadre.
**If we presume that direct IPs will get promotion to PSS Group B before completion of 30 years of service, they will be put into GP of Rs 4800 like BCR PA drawin g GP of Rs 4200 is promoted to LSG cadre having GP of Rs 2400/-
Demerits:-
1. There will no promotion for atleast 25 years in IP cadre. But there will no loss to IPs who have not passed PSS Group ‘B’ examination as they will get GP of Rs 5400 when they complete 30 years of total service or 20 years in IP Cadre.

2. IPs/ASPs who have passed PSS Group ‘B’ examination will be affected as follows:-

If promoted through examination within 10 years of IP service GP Rs 4800 will be fixed with one increment
If promoted through examination after 10 years of IP service As GP Rs 4800 would have been given already under MACPS no pay fixation will be done.
If promoted through examination after 20 years of IP service He may be drawing GP of Rs 5400, but will be promoted to GP of Rs 5400. No benefit at all

In all the cases IP/ASP having 20 years of service in IP cadre will get GP of Rs 5400 i.e more than the PSS Group ‘B’

3. A big question will be for Gazetted status. IP may be placed as Group ‘B’ non gazetted.

My conclusion: - Already there is anomaly in giving promotion to BCR PA who is getting GP of Rs 4200 to LSG with GP of Rs 2400. Then why we should worry about for promotion to PSS Group B (GP of Rs 4800) after 25 years of service as we would get GP of Rs 5400 when we complete 20 years in IP cadre. We can opt for merger with the condition that the gazette status already given should not be withdrawn.

FLASH FLASH : IP Grade Pay to Rs.4600

UPGRADATION OF PAY SCALE TO INSPECTOR POSTS

Ministry of Finance Vide Memo No F. No 1/1/2008-IC dated 13.11.2009 has revised the GP of Rs 4200/- granted to the existing pre-revised scale of Rs 6500-10500
to Rs 4600/- w.e.f 1.1.2006. The pay is to be refixed and the arrears will be paid immediately. Personal Secretaries of our Department who were in the pre-revised scale of Rs 6500 will be benefited immediately. Our demand for upgradation of pay scales to Inspector Posts at par with the Inspectors of CBDT/CBEC was considered by the Pay Commission and the recommendation given in the report is reproduced below:-


Extract of Para 7.6.14 of Pay Commission recommendations for Inspector Posts.

7.6.14 Postal Inspectors in Department of Posts have demanded a higher pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 on par with Inspectors and analogous posts in CBDT/CBEC as well as Assistants of Central Secretariat Service (CSS) on the ground that they are recruited through the same examination. The Commission is recommending the merger of pre-revised pay scales of Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 which will automatically bring Inspector (Posts) on par with Assistants in CSS/Inspectors and analogous posts in CBDT and CBEC. With this upgradation, Inspector (Posts) shall come to lie in an identical pay scale as that of their promotion post of Assistant Superintendent (Posts) [ASPOs]. ASPOs shall, accordingly, be placed in the next higher pay scale of Rs.7450-11500 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs.4600. The next higher post in the hierarchy, that of Superintendent (Post), which is also a promotion post for ASPOs, shall be placed in the pay scale of Rs.7500-12000 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs.4800. Parity exists between the posts of Inspector (Posts) and Inspectors in Mail
Motor Service (MMS). This parity would need to be maintained and Assistant Manager, Mail Motor Service shall be placed in the higher grade of Rs.7450-11500 whose corresponding replacement pay band and grade pay is PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with a grade pay of Rs.4600. Similarly, Manager, Mail Motor Service shall be placed in PB-2
pay band of Rs.8700-34800 along with a grade pay of Rs.4800 which corresponds to
the prerevised pay scale of Rs.7500-12000.

As the Inspectors are already placed at par with pay scale of Rs 6500-10500, the benefit should also be given to Inspector Posts. The case is being taken up with our Department for upgradation of Grade Pay to Inspector Posts from Rs 4200/- to Rs 4600/-

Simultaneously the grade pay of ASP and Gr B should upgraded to 4800 and 5400 respectively. Our Assoication is on the job. Specific orders will be got issued by the Directorate very soon.

Kindly take printout and circulate to all IP/ASPs, especially to all Circle Association office bearers.Please send your view also.

No.CHQ/IASP/09 date: 06th July 2009
To CHQ Office Bearers & All Circle Secretaries.
Dear friends,
Sub : Re-organisatiion of Sub Divisions.

Inspite of our request, the department is not willing to make ASPs, who are gazetted officers now, as Sub Divisional heads with financial and administrative powers. The department is bent upon exploiting IP as Sub Divisional head with an intention to extract more work without any status, infrastructure and powers.

It is high time to protest against the evil design of the department. The proposal will destroy our promotional avenue and also degrade the progress of the department itself. Sufficient numbers of IPs are not available. The department is planning to merge two Sub Dns into one to suit the number of IPs. We are already burdened with more work load. All Circle heads have recommended this proposal saying that IPs are young, they will work hard and bring more business to the department. They don’t want to upgrade the grade pay of the IP, but they expect IP to work more than a BCR PA who is also drawing the same grade pay now. This is purely exploitation. We have to raise the banner.

Hence I request all CHQ Office bearers and Circle Secretaries to consult members and consider whether we can show a minimum protest by sending postcards to DG Posts objecting the proposal of making all IPs as sub divisional heads? Your reply may be sent as quick as possible sothat I will send all of you the text message to be written in the postcard.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Sd/----

APAR ...

Department of Personnel and Training in OM No 21011/1/2005-Estt(A)(Pt-II), dated 14.5.2009 has issued orders to replace the exisiting ACR with Annual Performance Assessment Report (APAR). The full report of APAR should be communicated to the officer/official concerned with the remarks of the reporting officer and acceptance authority. This is applicable from the report for the year 2008-09.

It is learnt that in Tamilnadu Circle, the APAR has been communicated to Asst. Directors by the Chief PMG. All other officers/officials yet to receive the APARs.
It is a well known fact that DPCs are delayed only for wanting of CRs. Inefficiency in our department is generally pointed to the operating staff but the administration often forget that efficiency is also applicable to them, In most of the cases, the delay in promotin to any cadre is only because of gazetted officers who are responsible for writing and maintaining of CRs. Some of the officers are not writing CRs in time and some of them are are not capable of watching proper maintaining of CRs. The latest instruction issued as above by the Personnel Ministry will be somewhat helpful to us for getting promotion in time. The APAR for the year 2008-09 is being communicated and you will be also receiving in due course.
I want to bring to your atttention that the final assessment in the ACR (now APAR) should be any one of the following:-
(a) Outstanding (b) Very Good (c) Good (d) Average.

If any report is assessed by any other words/adjectives like satisfactory, poor etc and also if the assessment is "Average" you should appeal to the authority. If the grading is "Average", it is an adverse remark and the official/officer will not be considered for promotion. Further for MACPS (Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme) the grading should be 'Good' for promotion upto the GP of Rs 6600/- and 'Very Good' for the GP thereafter. Hence if any of the official/officer gets the remarks of "Average" (upto Group B), they should appeal to the authority within the stipulated time. i.e Fifteen days from the date of disclosure.
Further all are requested to keep the APAR in their custody so that the same may be submitted to the DPC in case of non production of APAR(s) by the administration.
