CONFEDERATION WRITES TO SECRETARY PERSONNEL
ON REVIVAL OF JCM FUNCTIONING
D/16/2012 Dated: 10th
November, 2012.
To
The Secretary (Personnel)
Department
of Personnel and Training,
Government
of India
North
Block,
New Delhi. 110 001
Dear
Sir,
Sub: Revival of the JCM functioning- Departmental level-
Regarding:
We solicit your kind reference to the discussions at the National Anomaly
Committee meeting held on 17th July, 2012 when the leader and
Secretary Staff Side and other members of the Staff Side brought to your
kind notice that the JCM at the Departmental Council level in most of the
Ministries other than Railways and Defence have become defunct. The Staff
Side also informed you that the recognition of Service Association, despite the
submission of the requisite applications and adherence to conditions stipulated
under the CCS(RSA) Rules, 1003 are denied by the heads of departments for no
legitimate reasons. The attitude of the Official Side in this regard has
resulted in the virtual shutting out any discussion on issues of concern to
employees in various Ministries. You had been good
enough to assure us that concrete steps would be taken to revive the
functioning of JCM at all levels and in all Ministries.
We are to bring to you kind notice that the status quo as obtained at the time
of the said National Anomaly Committee meeting is in existence even today
without any improvement. We shall be grateful if you could kindly direct
the concerned to take steps so that the functioning of the councils could be
revived without further loss of time.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Sd/-

CONFEDERATION WRITES TO SECRETARY PERSONNEL ON FIXATION OF PAY ON
PROMOTION
D/16/2012 Dated: 10th November, 2012.
To
The
Secretary (Personnel)
Department
of Personnel and Training,
Government
of India
North
Block,
New Delhi. 110 001
Dear
Sir,
Sub: Fixation of pay on promotion:
It was agreed in the meeting of the National Anomaly Committee held on 17th
July, 2012 that wherever there is a provision of direct recruitment in the
Recruitment Rules, pay on promotion would be fixed at the prescribed minimum of
the entry pay as provided for the direct entrants in the revised pay
rules. However a formal order in implementation of this order is
yet to be issued.
We shall be grateful if necessary directions are issued for the issuance of
formal orders in the matter.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
K.K.N. Kutty
Secretary General.
CONFEDERATION WRITES TO SECRETARY DEPARTMENT OF EXPENDITURE ON
FIXATION OF PAY ON PROMOTION CARRYING SAME GRADE PAY
D/16/2012 Dated: 10th
November, 2012.
To
The Secretary,
Department
of Expenditure,
Ministry
of Finance,
Government
of India, North Block
New Delhi. 110 001
Dear
Sir,
Sub: Fixation of pay on promotion to a
post carrying the same
Grade pay.
It was agreed in the last National Anomaly Committee meeting held on 17th
July, 2012( as could be seen from the minutes issued in this regard) that in
cases where promotion to a post carrying the same grade pay, benefit of one
increment would be considered subject to the condition that the promotional
post carries higher duties and responsibilities under FR 22 and fixation
benefit under FR 22 (1)(a)(i) was available prior to the implementation of the
6th CPC report and the merger of the two grades was not on
functional considerations. However, in implementation of this agreement,
no formal orders were issued so far.
We, therefore, request that necessary instruction may kindly be caused to be
issued to grant one increment benefit to all those employees who are promoted
where the feeder cadre and the promotion cadre carry the same grade pay,
provided the promotional grade is declared to be a post carrying higher
responsibilities. All those who were promoted during the period between
1.1.2006 and the date of issue of the instruction may also be covered by the
said instruction specifically.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
K.K.N. Kutty
Secretary General.
CONFEDERATION PRESIDENT WRITES TO
STAFF SIDE SECRETARY
S.K. VYAS
PRESIDENT;
Dated: 10th November, 2012.
Com. Umraomal Purohit,
Secretary, Staff Side, National
Council, JCM\
13-C Ferozeshah Road,
New Delhi 110 001
Dear Comrade,
Kindly recall the discussions, I had
with you two days back about the meeting held under the Chairmanship of JS(E)
27th July, 2012 on MACP issues. As intimated to you, the
minutes of the said meeting was prepared and circulated by the official side
without causing any discussion with the Staff Side, which had been the practice
all along with the result there had been serious omissions in the conclusions
indicated therein. However, on the basis of our discussions, we suggest
the following proposals:
(a) On our demand for giving effect to the MACP scheme from
1.1.2006.
Our
suggestion at the meeting was that if not for the entire personnel, the Govt.
may consider to grant the benefit of MACP scheme to the personnel retired
between 1.1.2006 and 31.8.2008 effective from. 1.1.2006. This suggestion
was made with a view that the personnel who were in service after 1.9.2008, no
doubt get the MACP benefit, though belatedly. Only those who retired
between the above crucial dates are denied the said benefit for
ever. In my opinion, we may even go further and suggest that even
in the case of those retired, the benefit may be made only notional, in as much
as they may not be entitled to receive arrears of salary due to the revision of
pay. They become entitled only the increased pension benefit and that too
with effect from. 1.9. 2008.
(b) MACP on promotional hierarchy:
There
had been no logical arguments placed by the official side for denying the
option to be exercised by the individual employee as to whether he would like
to retain the existing scheme of ACP or switch over to MACP. In the light
of strong contention made by the Staff Side, it was in fact agreed that the
official side will consider this proposal which was made by the Staff Side in
fact as an alternative to the demand for masking MACP on the basis of
promotional hierarchy in replacement of Grade Pay hierarchy. As large number of
employees would be affected adversely if this just demand is denied, we feel
that this issue must be pressed for acceptance.
We
request you to kindly take up the above two formulations at the appropriate
level as you deem fit and bring about a settlement at an early date.
With
greetings,
Yours
fraternally,
sd.
S.K.Vyas.
President.
