Donate Rs 200 each for Flag Day, DoPT tells govt staff
Tribune News Service: Chandigarh, November 13
With Armed Forces Flag Day being round the corner, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has issued an advisory to all Central ministries and departments directing that all government employees donate a minimum of Rs 200 out of their salaries for the month of November.
The Flag Day fund, generated out of donations from citizens, is a major source of funding for welfare and rehabilitation of war widows, ex-servicemen and dependants.
The Department of Personnel and Training advisory stems from an appeal from the Department of Ex-servicemen Welfare in this regard. December 7 is observed as the Armed Forces Flag Day to commemorate the sacrifices of men in uniform.
Last year, Rs 58.84 lakh were collected, a marginal dip over Rs 59.85 lakh collected in 2015, according to the Ministry of Defence figures. The fund has a corpus of about Rs 290 crore and out of the interest earned on this, 7.5 per cent is deposited back in the corpus and the remaining amount is used to fund welfare schemes.

19.
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.

Cabinet approves modifications in pay structure, pay matrices :Financial Express
The
Union Cabinet, chaired by PM Modi, recently approved important proposals
relating to modifications in the 7th CPC (Central Pay Commission)
recommendations on pay structure and revision of the three pay matrices in the
course of their implementation
The
Cabinet has now approved further modifications in the pay structure and the
three Pay Matrices, i.e. Civil, Defence and Military Nursing Service (MNS).
The
Union Cabinet, chaired by PM Modi, recently approved important proposals
relating to modifications in the 7th CPC (Central Pay Commission)
recommendations on pay structure and revision of the three pay matrices in the
course of their implementation.
The
Cabinet, while approving the 7th CPC recommendations for their implementation
on 29th June, 2016, had made two modifications in the Defence Pay Matrix as
under:
(a) Index of Rationalisation (IOR) of
Level 13A (Brigadier) may be increased from 2.57to2.67.
(b) Additional 3 stages in Levels 12A (Lt. Col.), 3 stages in Level 13 (Colonel) and 2 stages in Level 13A (Brigadier) may be added.
(b) Additional 3 stages in Levels 12A (Lt. Col.), 3 stages in Level 13 (Colonel) and 2 stages in Level 13A (Brigadier) may be added.
The
Cabinet has now approved further modifications in the pay structure and the
three Pay Matrices, i.e. Civil, Defence and Military Nursing Service (MNS). The
modifications are listed below:
- Defence
Pay Matrix has been extended to 40 stages similar to the Civil Pay Matrix:
The 7th CPC had recommended a compact Pay Matrix for Defence Forces
personnel keeping in view the number of levels, age and retirement
profiles of the service personnel. The Ministry of Defence raised the
issue that the compact nature of the Defence Pay Matrix may lead to
stagnation for JCOs in Defence Forces and proposed that the Defence Pay
Matrix be extended to 40 stages. The Cabinet decision to extend the
Defence Pay Matrix will benefit the JCOs who can continue in service
without facing any stagnation till their retirement age of 57 years.
- IOR for
Levels 12 A (Lt. Col. and equivalent) and 13 (Colonel and equivalent) in
the Defence Pay Matrix and Level 13 (Director and equivalent) in the Civil
Pay Matrix has been increased from 2.57 to 2.67: Variable IOR ranging from
2.57 to 2.81 has been applied by the 7th CPC to arrive at Minimum Pay in
each Level on the premise that with enhancement of Levels from Pay Band 1
to 2, 2 to 3 and onwards, the role, responsibility and accountability
increases at each step in the hierarchy. This principle has not been
applied in respect of Levels 12A (Lt. Col. and equivalent), 13 (Colonel
and equivalent) and 13A (Brigadier and equivalent) of Defence Pay Matrix
and Level 13 (Director and equivalent) of the Civil Pay Matrix on the
ground that there was a disproportionate increase in entry pay at the
level pertaining to GP 8700 in the 6th CPC regime. The IOR for Level 13A
(Brigadier and equivalent) in the Defence Pay Matrix has already been
revised upwards with the approval of the Cabinet earlier. In view of the
request from Ministry of Defence for raising the IOR for Levels 12 A and
13 of the Defence Pay Matrix and requests from others, the IOR for these
levels has been revised upwards to ensure uniformity of approach in
determining the IOR.
- To give
effect to the decisions to extend the Defence Pay Matrix and to enhance
the IORs, the three Pay Matrices – Civil, Defence and MNS – have also been
revised. While doing so, two calculation errors noticed in the MNS Pay
Matrix have also been rectified.
- To
ensure against reduction in pay, benefit of pay protection in the form of
Personal Pay was earlier extended to officers when posted on deputation
under Central Staffing Scheme (CSS) with the approval of Cabinet. The
benefit will also be available to officers coming on Central Deputation on
posts not covered under the CSS.

No. AIAIPASPs/TN/ VII CPC/04/dlgs dated at Chennai 600 018 the 24.04.2017.
Respected
Sir,
Subject: - Irregular fixation of Pay and
Allowances-case of Shri.R.Loganathan, ASP and offtg Superintendent, PSD,
Tiruchirapalli -regarding
Ref: -Letter no. 67/PG/GE-I/ES/2016-2017 dated
12.04.2017 issued by Sr.Accounts Officer, Pay Group, office of the General
Manager [Postal Accounts &Finance], Chennai
-o-o-o-o-
In pursuance of the Chief Postmaster
General, Tamilnadu Circle Memo No .STC /1-6(A)/16 dtd 21.07.2016,
Shri.R.Loganathan , ASP,Chennai City Central Division was promoted to PS Group
B cadre on Ad-hoc basis and posted as Superintendent of Post offices,
Kanchipuram Division and he assumed charge on 27.07.2016.Subsequently the above
officer was posted as Superintendent ,PSD, Trichy vide CO memo
no.;STB/20-3/2016 /CCR dtd 27.01.2017 and he assumed charge on 15.02.2017 F/N
. Consequently , the Officer is entitled
to get his pay fixed at Rs.73,400/-
under Pay Matrix level-9 as applicable to PS Group B officers as per 7th
Pay commission. Accordingly , the entitlement slip of the
officer was correctly issued by the GM(PAF) Chennai vide Letter no.
1532/PG/GE-1/ES/2016-2017 dtd 21.11.2016.
But subsequently , the Sr.Accounts Officer Pay Group ,O/o GM(PAF)
vide his letter no 67/PG/GE-I/ES/2016-17 dtd 12.04.2017,addressed to the
Postmaster , Kanchipuram HO has
mentioned that the Pay of the above Officer was inadvertently fixed as Rs.73,400/- at level-9 , pending
clarification sought for . He has also mentioned in the letter that as the
officer had got MACP III on 15.02.2012 and as per the MACP orders, no fixation
of pay is allowed on promotion and difference of grade pay only to be allowed,
as grade pay is not in vogue in 7th CPC . By citing this ,he
informed the DDO that the pay of the
above officer is revised to Rs.70,000/- in Pay Matrix Level-8 with effect from
26.07.2016 till 31.12.2016 and ordered for the recovery of the so called excess
paid Pay and Allowances. Based on his interpretation he has issued the the
revised entitlement slip for the above officer.
In this connection, the following are
submitted for the kind information and urgent intervention of CPMG ,Tamilnadu
Circle.
1.
The Officer has been ordered to work as
Superintendent ,Kanchipuram Division and Subsequently as Superintendent PSD
Tiruchirappalli in PS Group B cadre , on Ad-hoc basis by CPMG ,Tamilnadu Circle,
and both of these posts carry pay at Pay
matrix level-9 as recommended by the 7th
CPC and approved by the Government of India.
2.
Hence the
stand of the Sr.AO Pay Group denying the officer in drawl of the Pay entitled
to the Post, which he holds, citing MACP scheme is totally wrong. The above
Officer is entitled to get his Pay and Allowances as admissible under Rules for
the post presently working as ordered by the Chief PMG, TN Circle, Chennai
3.
Therefore,
the action of Sr.AO Pay Group, GM (PAF), Chennai denying the officer to draw
pay applicable to the PSS Group B cadre and recovery of so called excess paid
Pay and Allowance on the eve of his retirement is not in order.
Therefore, It is requested to look into the
issue and issue necessary orders to
GM(PAF),
Tamilnadu Circle to issue entitlement slip to Shri R.Loganathan, Superintendent
, PSD ,Tiruchirapalli at RS.73,400/- under Pay
Level-9 with effect from 27.02.2016 as applicable to PS Group B officers
as recommended by the 7th Pay commission and approved by Government of India .
Thanking You Sir,
Yours sincerely,
[G.BABU],
Circle Secretary
