While
thanking the Circle Administration in solving the pay fixation and drawl of
allowances in respect of ASPs who are working in PS Group-B cadre on adhoc
basis in Tamilnadu Circle it is resolved to request the Circle administration
to settle the following issues which are
still pending to be finalized.
a.
Shri.M.Dharmaraj,
ASP who was working as Assistant Director[BD&Tech],Office of the Postmaster
General, Western Region, Coimbatore on adhoc arrangement had retired on
31.8.2016 on superannuation as Assistant Director in PS Group-B cadre. But, the
Pay and Pension of the above officer has been fixed as applicable to ASP cadre
only. The above officer has submitted a representation to the CPMG on 1.9.2016
which is still pending to be disposed.
b.
Shri.R.Loganathan, ASP,Chennai City Central
Division was promoted to PS Group-B cadre on Ad-hoc arrangement and posted as
SP, PSD,Tiruchirapalli vide Circle Office memo no. STB/20-3/2016/CCR dated
27.01.2017 and he assumed charge on 15.2.2017. Consequently, the Pay of the
officer has been fixed as 73400/- under Pay matrix level-9 as applicable to PS
Group B officer. But subsequently, before his retirement on 30.7.2017, the
entitlement slip of the above officer has been revised by the GM Postal
Accounts and Finance, Chennai and ordered for the recovery of the so called excess
payment and his pensionary benefits fixed as applicable to ASP Cadre.
In
both the cases, even though the orders were issued clearly by the Circle Office
for making Ad-hoc arrangement in PS Group-B cadre, the Postal Accounts of TN
Circle has taken a different view unilaterally ignoring the orders of the CO
and rules on the subject. A detailed representation has been given to the CPMG
on the above case and the officer has also represented individually. This CWC
requests the CPMG TN Circle to intervene and issue necessary orders for the
fixation of Pay and Pensionary benefits to Shri.M.Dharmaraj and
Shri.P.Loganathan and render justice.
c.
After
the implementation of VII CPC, the Grade Pay of the IP,ASP and SPs in the
Department of Posts have been up graded as 4600/-, 4800/- and 5400/-
respectively. Accordingly, the Pay of the ASPs was fixed as 4800/- under
level-8 of the Pay matrix as per VII CPC with effect from 1.1.2016 correctly.
Shri.V.Gunaseelan, ASP,CCR and
d.
Shri.A.Venkatesan,
ASP,CCR were eligible for Financial Upgradation under MACP-3 after completion
of 30 years of service as on 17.1.2016 and 28.2.2016 respectively. The
Financial Up gradation of Pay of the above officers should have been fixed as
5400/- under Level-9 in the Pay matrix as per the orders of the Department and
VII CPC. But, this has not been done and they were denied financial up
gradation under MACP-III by Chennai City Region. In this connection, it is
pointed out that an order issued by CPMG, Andhra circle for fixing financial up
gradation under MACP-III for ASPs who have completed 30 years of service or 10
years of service in ASP cadre was handed over to CPMG Sir during the last 4
monthly meeting as a reference and it was assured that all future MACP-3 cases
for ASPs will be fixed at Level-9 under Pay matrix.This CWC requests the CPMG
TN Circle to consider the genuine demands of the above officers and issue
orders for the correct fixation of Pay and allowances as admissible under VII
CPC.
e.
Similarly,
individual representations have been given by many senior ASPs who have already
completed 30 years of service and got financial up gradation under
MACP-III before the implementation of
VII CPC and Grade Pay fixed as Rs.4800/- as applicable to PS Group –B officers
in the Department. The CWC requests the CPMG TN Circle to consider the genuine
demands of the above ASPs for fixation of Pay with Grade Pay as Rs.5400/- under
Pay matrix Level-9 as per the Gazette notification in which the Grade pay of
Rs.4800/- in respect of SPOs has been up graded as Rs.5400/- with effect from
1.1.2016.
