                        Sub:- Grant of Financial upgradation in the promotional hierarchy
                                 instead of Grade Pay hierarchy under the MACPS – furnishing
                                 information- Regarding.

Ref: - File No. 4-7/ (MACPS)/ 2009-PCC Dated 14-05-2011.

Sir,

Following are the Group- C cadres existing in the Postal Accounts Organization with the Grades Pays mentioned against.

1. MTS Rs. 1800

2. Sorter Rs. 1800 (Defunct Cadre)

3. LDC Rs. 1900

4. Junior Accountant Rs. 2800

5. Senior Accountant Rs. 4200 and

6. Asst.Accounts Officer Rs. 4800 (Gr.B)

The promotional channel for these cadres is also in the same order, except Sorter where in promotions and appointments are not taking place because the said cadre was declared a dying cadre in the year 2000. It can be observed that the Grade Pay available on functional promotions is different from that of the financial up-gradation under MACP. There is vast difference between these two modes of promotions. The Grade Pay on Financial up-gradation is lower than the Grade Pay on the Promotional hierarchy. Hence, the Cadres LDC, Junior Accountant and Senior Accountant are on losing side with the MACP in Grade Pay hierarchy rather than Functional Promotion hierarchy.

The Grade Pay hierarchy has created many anomalies within a single cadre. For example The Junior Accountant under DR will get the Grade Pay of Rs. 4200 (Ist MACP), Rs.4600(II MACP) and Rs. 4800(III MACP).

The Junior Accountant who got promoted from LDC will get Rs.4200(II MACP) and Rs.4600(III MACP). The Junior Accountant (DR) who got two promotions under ACP scheme before 1^st Sept.2008 will get Rs. 5400 G.P. as his III MACP.( Rs.4200 > Rs.4800 > Rs.5400) due to functional grade hierarchy available under ACP.

Similarly in all cadres, if the MACP is given under Promotional hierarchy it is more beneficial. It will also remove many anomalies. Hence, this Association suggests that in the PAO the financial up-gradation under Promotional hierarchy should be introduced.

With regards,

Yours faithfully,
