ALL INDIA SENIORITY LIST OF SENIOR ACCOUNTANTS

Let me think, "If I am an active member, or just belong ?"

The following published by the Divisional Secretary, Bhubaneswar in his web site is most opt and worthy for reproduction in the CHQ blog.


Am I an active member, quite strong and bold,
Or, I am just satisfied because my name is enrolled ?
Do I know my constitution with goals and objectives,
Or just careless because known to my leaderships ?
Am I aware of the activities undertaken by my union,
Or just I have kept a watch on the problems of my own ?
Do I attend the meetings regularly and try to realize,
Or just stay at home and intend to criticize?
Do I keep any interest for welfare of the mass,
Or just satisfy my own, saying “Yes Boss”?
Do I like to come together with the flock?
Or just stay alone to find fault and knock?
Have I ever visited a member who is sick?
Or shift the responsibility to a few and talk about the clique?
The existence of my Organization is at stake – Am I aware,
Or my status and pension are intact! – Am I quite sure?
Post Offices will be closed and A Company will rule,
If I don’t react to save, won’t I be a fool?
Things will be outsourced and there will be a blow,
What shall I do and where shall I go?
Helter-skelter everywhere, false assurances perplexing,
Can’t I do something to see my people smiling?
India is mine, so also India Post and its employees,
Right time has come for me to know and realize.
July 5th Indefinite Strike is the right occasion to answer,
Active participation for a total success irrespective of cadre.
If not this time, everything will be wrong,
Let me think, if I am an active member, or just belong?

WITHHOLDING OF 10% IN ALL CASES IS NOT CORRECT



NATIONAL COORDINATION COMMITTEE OF PENSIONERS ASSOCIATIONS
13-C, FEROZESHAH ROAD, NEW DELHI – 110 001


No. FV -3 (P)/11                                                              Date: 08-06-11


To,
The Secretary,
Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare,
New Delhi

       Sub: - Amendment in Pension Rules providing for  
               withholding 10 % ofGratuity in case of pensioners 

               covered by Rule 64, Rule 71, Rule 72 & Rule 80 of
               CCS (Pension) Rules 1972 – Regarding.

Dear Sir,

            I refer to Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare Notification No. SO 829 (E) dated 07-04-10 promulgating the CCS (Pension) (Amendment) Rules, 2010.

            It is clear that the above amendments are applicable to pensioners who have been granted Provisional Gratuity (vide Rule 64), who are occupying the Govt. Accommodation on the date of their retirement (vide. Rule 70 & 71) and to Family pensioners whose spouse has died while in service.

            It is, however, observed that the 10% of Gratuity is being deducted and retained for six months from the Gratuity of Pensioners who are not covered by afore mentioned Rules or against whom some loans and advances have to be assessed or against whom no loans and advances are outstanding. This is certainly illegal.

            I, therefore, request you to clarify that the provisions of above amendments in Pension Rules may not be applied in case of Pensioners who are not covered by the amended provisions of Rules 64, 70, 71 & 80 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972.

                        Besides, this provision to deduct & retain 10% Gratuity is definitely on the higher side. It is, therefore, necessary that a provision for payment of interest on this retained 10% Gratuity for the period it is retained may also be made to protect the pensioner’s interest.

            This suggestion may also kindly be considered.

            Thanking you,

                                                                Yours faithfully,

                                                                                               
                                                                 (S.K. VYAS)

Respected Sir,

            I request your kind attention to the letters cited above on the issue of granting Gr. B (Non-Gazetted) status to the Senior Accountants cadre. This issue is pending for more than one year and due to this inordinate delay many problems have been cropped up in the units. For example in the units like Cuttuck and Hyderabad, LTC bills and CGEGIS payments in respect of diseased officials were kept pending.

            It is submitted that the DOP&T with the notification under reference 1 has already classified all the civil posts under the Union and the posts carrying the grade pay of Rs. 4200 has been accorded the status of Gr.B. Acting on this DOP has issued orders classifying the post of Senior Accountant and HSG I posts as Group-B (Non-Gazetted). But the issue is still under consideration of the PA Wing, even after lapse of one year. This Association has already submitted that there is only a broad parity among the cadres in the Organised Accounts Departments and they are not equal in all respects. Hence, I request you to kindly issue orders granting Gr. B status(Non-Gazetted) to the Senior Accountants working in PAOs and end the confusion in the field units. Immediate action in this regard is requested.

With Regards,

Yours faithfully,

AIPAEA SUGGESTS PROMOTIONAL HIERARCHY FOR MACP PROMOTIONS IN PAOs

AIPAEA/CHQ/ 2011                                                                                                      Date: 09-06-2011

To
Sri. Surender Kumar,
ADG (GDS/PCC),
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhawan,
New Delhi.

                        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 1st 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,
