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.

our GS Shri.Samuel.
our CS Shri.K.Ezhil.
