Respected
Sir,
Subject:- Discrepancies in
Fixation of new Pay and Allowances of the VII Pay
Commission for IPs/ASPs in Tamilnadu Circle
- regarding
Ref: - Arising
With reference to the above, we
submit the following few lines for favor of kind consideration.
The VII Pay
Commission has recommended for upgradation of Grade Pay of IPs from Rs.4200 to
Rs.4600 and for ASPs from Rs.4600 to Rs.4800 vide Para 11.8.21 of Pay Commission
Report communicated in OM No. 7-2/2016-PCC dated 27.7.2016. Correspondingly the
existing Grade Pay of Rs.4800/- of Superintendent Posts has also been upgraded
to Rs.5400/-[PB-2] under L-9 vide Para 11.8.21 of the above report.
Accordingly, the Grade Pay of all the IPs , ASPs and SPs in the Department have
been fixed as Rs.4600/- , Rs.4800/- and Rs.5400/- respectively with effect from
1.1.2016.
In this connection,
the following discrepancies were noticed in fixation of Pay and Allowances of
the Assistant Superintendent Posts by the Accounts Officers of the Tamilnadu
Circle.
The Grade Pay of the
PSS Group B officers of the Department has been up graded by the Pay Commission
and accepted by the Government. Accordingly, the GP of all PSS Group B officers
are to be up graded to Rs.5400/- with effect from 1.1.2016 under L-9 of the new
Pay Matrix. But, the Grade Pay of ASPs who are working as Assistant Directors
in office of the PMG, Western Region, Coimbatore has been fixed as Rs.4800/-
only under L-8 of the new Pay Matrix and arrears of Pay drawn from 1.1.2016.
This is totally incorrect. There are no valid reasons stated by the Accounts
Officer of the RO, Coimbatore.
Similarly, the
upgradation of Grade Pay of Rs.5400/- under L-9 of new Pay Matrix has not been
given to senior most ASPs who were
already got promotion under MACP-III [after completion of 30 years of service]
and drawing Grade Pay of Rs.4800/-
before 1.1.2016. . As a result, the revised Pay of all the ASPs will be fixed
in L-8 with upgraded GP of Rs.4800/- irrespective of promotion got under MACP-3
in the ASP cadre. This will lead to anomaly in the fixation of pay for the
Senior ASPs in the Department. Since the promotional Grade Pay of Rs.4800/-
obtained for ASP cadre under MACP-3 is the same Grade pay of the Superintendent
Posts in the pre-revised scale of pay, this should have been automatically
upgraded to Rs.5400/- since the GP of Superintendent Post has been up graded
with effect from 1.1.2016 by Pay Commission vide Para 11.8.21.As a result, the
junior ASPs who will get promotion under MACP after 1.1.2016 will be placed in
higher Grade Pay of Rs.5400/- under L-9 of new Pay matrix whereas the senior
most ASPs who were promoted much earlier will get less pay than the juniors which will lead to
anomaly.
The issues relating
to Allowances has been referred to a Committee by the Government of India. But,
the HRA and Transport allowances for the upgraded pay of IPs and ASPs are
denied by the DDOs on the plea that this has been referred. But, as on
1.1.2016, the pay has been up graded for IPs and ASPs and hence the admissible
allowances for the Pay as on 1.1.2016 should be drawn and paid.
Considering the
above, it is requested that orders may kindly be issued to concerned DDOs to :-
a. To fix the upgraded
Pay scale and allowances admissible to all the ASPs officiating as Assistant
Directors in the office of PMG, Western Region, Coimbatore.
b. To fix the Pay of
senior ASPs who got MACP-III before 1.1.2016 in L-9 of new pay matrix.
c. To draw admissible
allowances to all IPs and ASPs whose pay has been up graded with effect from
1.1.2016.
Thanking You,
Yours faithfully,
Babu G
Circle Secretary
