Upgardation of Grade pay
Permanand. Inspectorial cadre, Calicut will file a cse in Ernakulam Bench for upgrading Grade Pay
All the relevant papers regarding CAT Case have been handed over to the Advocate on 21.03.2010 and the issues discussed. Draft for CAT Case will be ready by next week. The details of the discussion are as follows :
As per the Advocate view, if we claim that Inspector Posts also comes under preview of the MOF OM F.No. 1/1/2008-IC dated 13.11.09, our case may be weak, as in that OM, it is clearly stated that higher Grade Pay of Rs.4600 is given to those Posts, which were having Pre-revised pay scale of Rs.6500-10500. It is the fact that Pay scale of Inspector Posts was Revised to Rs.6500 -10500 w.e.f 01.01.2006 and corresponding Grade pay was given. We can demand for the parity and ask for separate OM for Inspector Posts for higher grade pay as done for Assistants (CSS), as we are also coming through the same competitive examination, on the grounds that :
The 4th pay commission had recommended higher pay scale for inspectors only after introduction of direct recruitment. Higher pay scale could not be given to the Inspector Posts at that time, as the recommendation for Direct recruitment was not implemented by the Dept. of Posts (Para 10.44 ).
In the V CPC, the Dept. agreed for Direct recruitment at the level of Inspectors and hence the pay parity with Inspectors and analogous post in CBDT / CBEC were given and accordingly, the Pay scale of Inspector Posts was upgraded from Rs.1400 – 2600 to Rs.1640 – 2490 and corresponding new pay scale of Rs.5500 – 9000 was given w.e.f 01.01.1996. (Para 62.9). Dept. of Posts accordingly amended the Recruitment Rules for Inspector Posts in 2001.
It was the Finance Ministry, who disturbed the parity in April,2004 and in Nov,2009 and no action was taken by the Dept. also to set right the discrepancies. In no way, Inspector Posts can be treated lower in comparison with Inspectors in CBDT / CBEC. Historical Pay parity should be maintained and the discrepancy aroused should be settled immediately.
Request : The Advocate has asked the payment early. All those who have not given their contribution amount, are requested to remit the amount (Rupees one thousand) early to the SBI A/c No. 31074715151 , opened at Kaloor Branch – 8621, Ernakulam, Kerala, in the name of Sri Chandrakanta Paladhi. After remitting the amount, the message may be given through SMS to the Mobile No. 09349049801 or trhough email at ipgp4600@gmail.com . Support from all the members are requested.

Full details of CAT judgement against Group B exam held in 2008
Normally, any departmental examination for promotion is held every year depending upon year-wise vacancies so that the eligible candidate for a particular year vacancy would get opportunity to get selection for subsequent year vacancies. But disregarding all principles, the department conducted Group B examination by bunching of vacancies for four years viz. 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. Our Association objected to it. But the Department did not heed. Some of IP/ASP filed cases before CAT Madras and CAT Patna and prayed for a stay order. The honourable CATs at that time rejected to pass stay order. Though the single selection for all the four years is prejudicial to majority of the eligible candidates the Department successfully conducted the examination. With a result many juniors who were not at all eligible for the vacancies of 2004, 2005 and 2006 were allowed to appear, got selected and promoted. Now many ineligible candidates are working as PS Group B officer. The CAT Madras passed an order in OA 64/08 and some of the relevant paragraphs are reproduced below:
“ 15. If the selection for promotion is based every year separately for 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, depending upon year-wise vacancies, the eligible candidate for 2003 who did not get selection for the year vacancies, would get opportunity to seek selection for subsequent year vacancies and because of bunching of vacancies for all the four years and holding single selection is prejudicial to majority of the eligible candidate and such selection is detrimental to the eligible employees for whose purpose it has been intended. The respondents have not placed any instruction of guidelines in support their claim for holding the single selection by bunching of vacancies for 4 years or several years.
16. In view of such circumstances as discussed above, the decision to bunch the vacancies for all the four years together and holding a simple selection is discriminatory, arbitrary, unfair and also amounts to defect the selection.
17. In spite of objections raised by the applicants by way of representations an also by filing of this OA, the authorities have not taken any care and proceeded further in conducting examinations. The authorities have completed most of the selection procedure in conducting examination and also declared the result of the successful candidates in the written test.
18. In view of such circumstances, if this selection is restricted for the vacancies for the year 2003, no harm would be caused to any of the eligible candidates who faced the examination and selection for the year 2003 is held valid and the selection for the vacancies for 2004, 2005 and 2006 are held to be defective, arbitrary, irrational and discriminatory. Thus the claim of the applicants is allowed partly, directing the respondents to secure year-wise vacancies for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006 in respect of promotion to the cadre of Postal Services Group B by preparing year-wise list of eligible candidates and also vacancies and thereafter hold fresh Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE), restricting the present selection only for the year 2003.
19. In the result, the OA is partly allowed as above, with no order as to costs.”
********************************************************************************
The day the judgement was given, is a day of great pride for our Association. We questioned the illogical approach of the Department in the above examination, without any hesitation, through CAT and got a historical judgement in our favour, which shows that our views on any subject pertaining to our service interest are always correct.

8% DA order - cabinet meeting today
The cabinet meeting to be held today 19.03.2010 to discuss the grant of 8% DA all central Government employees.
Denial of Hostal subsidy & Tution fees on the ground away from station
Members may aware that as per DOPT OM No: 12011/3/2008-Estt (Allowance) dated 2.9.2008 and clarification OM No: 12011/03/2008-Estt (Allowance) dated 11.11.2008, Hostel subsidy at the rate of Rs.3000 per month is allowed as reimbursement for two children of central government employees provided the children study in a hostel of a school away from the station at which the employee is posted or is residing.
However, based on a opinion of Swamy’s Publications, many administrative authorities have rejected the Hostel subsidy claim under New CEA scheme of the employees on the ground that their children were not forced to study in hostel due to reasons such as transfer etc but they have been admitted in a school away from the working place of employees for the purpose of better education.
It is very clear from the OM dated 2.9.2008 of DOPT that all the previous instructions relating to reimbursement of tuition fees and hostel subsidy etc have been superseded by the new CEA scheme. So, the old instructions relating old hostel subsidy will not be applicable to hostel subsidy under New children education Scheme. Also there is no specific instruction from DOPT to reject hostel subsidy on the ground detailed above.
Now to the relief of employees who have admitted their children in a school away from working place for better education, DOPT has issued categorical clarification to Swamy’s publications vide letter No: 12011/01/2010-Estt (Allowance) dated 11.1.2010. Extact of the same is published in Swamy’s monthly news for the month of March-2010 (Circular No: 44).
It is clarified by DOPT that OM dated 2.9.2008 of DOPT and subsequent clarification of even number dated 11.11.2008 have been issued in supersession of all the earlier orders. Hostel subsidy is reimbursable to all central government employees for keeping their children in the hostel of a residential school away from the station they are posted or are residing irrespective of any transfer liability

Group B Exam
Historic judgment
by the CAT, Chennai
in PSS Group B Examination.
In view of such circumstances, if this selection is restricted for the vacancy for the year 2003, no harm would be caused to any of the eligible candidates who faced the examination and thus selection for the year 2003 is held valid and the selection for the vacancies for 2004,2005 and,2006 are held to be defective, arbitrary irrational and discriminatory. Thus the claim of the applicants is allowed partly, directing the respondent to declare year wise vacancies for the years 2004,2005,2006 i9n respect of promotion to the cadre of P.S.S. Group B by preparing year wise list of eligible candidates and also vacancies and thereafter hold fresh Limited Departmental Competitive Examination9(LDCE) restricting the present selection only for the vacancies for the year 2003.
In result, the OA is partly allowed as above, with no order as to costs.

In view of such circumstances, if this selection is restricted for the vacancy for the year 2003, no harm would be caused to any of the eligible candidates who faced the examination and thus selection for the year 2003 is held valid and the selection for the vacancies for 2004,2005 and,2006 are held to be defective, arbitrary irrational and discriminatory. Thus the claim of the applicants is allowed partly, directing the respondent to declare year wise vacancies for the years 2004,2005,2006 i9n respect of promotion to the cadre of P.S.S. Group B by preparing year wise list of eligible candidates and also vacancies and thereafter hold fresh Limited Departmental Competitive Examination9(LDCE) restricting the present selection only for the vacancies for the year 2003.
In result, the OA is partly allowed as above, with no order as to costs.

Membership verification Appeal
APPEAL FOR ENROLLMENT AS MEMBER
Dear Sir,
I am coming up with an appeal for enrolling you as an Esteemed Member of our Association. This Association is functioning for more than 74 years in the Department to cater to the needs of the Inspector and Asst Supdt working in RMS. After the cadre merger, this Association represents the Inspectors and Assistant Superintendents working in Postal and RMS. We celebrated Platinum Jubilee year on 30.01.2010 at Chennai. The Department of post released a special cover on this occasion. This is the first of its kind in the history of trade unions not only in the Department of posts but also in the world.
The Association has been championing for the cause of our Members at all levels and succeeded in settling many demands. This is the only Association invited by the VI Pay Commission in respect of IP/ASP cadre.
Why Second Association is necessary in our Cadre?
In our cadre, monopoly of one Service Association may affect the smooth bargaining powers of the members due to the difference of opinions among leadership. The leaders may perhaps be self motivated and do not attend to the settlement of grievances of individual members who are affected individually. Only the CIUCUS surrendering the leadership may perhaps be benefited immediately.
If there is only one Association exists, there are chances of exploitation of members. Members “choice is restricted. Absence of competition may leads to inefficiency. This resulted in reduced satisfaction among the cadre men because there will be only one service provider and our cadre men have no choice to choose another Association.
Pay benefit issues
Due to late submission of memorandum to the VI Pay Commission, our sister Association was not invited by the VI Pay Commission for tendering oral Evidence. But for this small Association, Pay Commission would not have known the demands of ASP / IP cadre. The arguments for higher pay scale to IPOs & ASPOs put forth by our Association during ‘Oral Hearing’ was well received by the Pay Commission and the Chairman accepted and appreciated our demand that ‘ the pay of Supervisor should always be fixed more than the Supervised Cadre” i.e., above HSG I Scale. Though the pay Commission recommended higher pay scale, the ASPs got higher pay. To fill up any gap, second Association is must.
Regarding getting more pay benefit to our Cadre men, after consulting with my friends in Finance Department, we initiated a proposal in the month of October 2009 itself for the merger of IPOs with ASPs or ASPs with PSS Group B, to get the Grade pay of Rs 5400 and Rs 6600 Grade Pay at least in the ACPs. The Department also considered our proposal for the merger with effect from 1.1.2006. I have not achieved this at present because of the different version taken by our sister union. However, we taken a stand in the Platinum Jubilee conference for cadre merger and this will be achieved with in couple of months.
Promotional issues
Recently, the Department created Postmaster Group B services by diverting 161 PSS Group B Posts. All these posts were allotted to General line besides sharing 6% in Group B Post. At present we are having about 800 PSS Group B Posts and we are waiting for the promotion to PSS Group-B for 26 years. This span will be increased to 30 years from 2011 onwards and many members will be retired as ASPs. We are waiting for cadre prospects (Creation of 245 Posts) for more than 25 years. But without any struggle General line officials got 25% Group B posts and they will get five promotional increments from LSG, HSG/2, HSG/1, Postmaster and Class I. Due to this five promotional chances they will get more retirement benefits than us, There is no objection from our sister union for diverting our posts to General line and no articles are found in their website. Our Association submitted a protest letters.
Already we lost the promotional post of ASP HSG/1 because of the different version taken by our sister union.
AAO Promotion
Further, the General line officials were permitted to avail promotion for the post of AAOs Post in the Telecom Department. But the IPOs/ ASPOs are not permitted to avail this promotion which carries Rs 4800 Grade Pay and better promotional avenues. This was also not objected by our sister Association.
The above example clearly shows that the second Association in our cadre will definitely cater to the aspirations and expectations of the Common Inspector and Asst Superintendents. A second Association has taken up all the Common issues pertaining to this Cadre and most of them are settled. The Association needs your valuable support by enrollment as Members of this Association’ (AIRASIA).
I promise that the grievances of each and every individual members in nook and corner of the county will be settled and their interest will be protected.
Besides settling the above issues, I promise the following
(1) Upgradation of 1200 IPO posts to ASP Cadre if the cadres are not merged and up gradation of 300 ASP posts to PSS Group B Cadre and creation of Class I cadre.
(2) Separate ACP for our IPOs cadre.
(3) Timely convening of DPCs for Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’.
(4) Training in Technology and Marketing.
(5) Separate Accommodation at important towns for the stay of our members.
(6) Initiation for having our own Engineering College , Nursing School, Marine College and Teacher Training Institute, for the benefits of our members.
(7) SMS news to all the cadremen.
My Appeal,
Dear Friends, I only promise what I can achieve. I don’t want to build castles in the Air. Give us an opportunity to work for our cadre. I request you to enroll as Member in our Association and strengthen us to fulfill your aspiration.
Yours friendly

The benefit of CGHS would be extended to those employees working in the CGHS cities.
