<b><u>INTRODUCTION</u></b></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Survey of India is the oldest Central Government Department (i.e 247 Years old ) and actively engaged in Production of various types of topographical, geographical and other maps for the Defence and developmental work of the nation. It has also been carrying out Geophysical Surveys for tidal waves, gravity and geomagnetic observations. The Survey of India in addition to its own role as a principal mapping agency renders advice on the specifications of the Surveys and furnishes necessary data and maps to various departments of the Central and State Governments for Defence, development and planning purposes. Thus, Survey of India has played an important role in development of infrastructure and management of resources. And as a part of this Department Ministerial Staff also share responsibility for the upliftment of the activities and work of this important Technical Scientific Department. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ministerial cadre bears the brunt of administrative, financial and various house-keeping jobs in Survey of India, which is a scientific organization, manned entirely by Engineer Officers at Group ‘A’ level. Introduction of e-payment and e-procurement in the offices need a good mind to handle, in which the Ministerial staff are perfect now a days. They are, however, very inadequately represented in terms of sanctioned strength with reference to the overall organizational strength. Their promotion span is between Group ‘C’ to Group ‘B’ post. This has resulted in considerable stress of work and perpetual resentment due to bleak promotion prospects. There is a perceptible simmering discontent in this cadre on this account and the Commission can, to a great extent, redeem the situation by giving elongated timescale of pay as may be eventually determined. </div>

<b><u>STRUCTURE OF MINISTERIAL STAFF AND HINDI STAFF </u></b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The present structure of Ministerial Staff and Hindi Staff is given below. Since very long we are reasonably demanding change in nomenclatures of Ministerial Staff and we are again submitting our demands as stated below:- </div>

<b><u>LDC</u></b></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the modern era of Scientific development and technological know-how the LDCs of Survey of India cannot be compared with the LDCs of other Central Govt. department. The computer replaced typing machine and in this department LDC must be well equipped with the sound knowledge of computer. Though the entry qualification for LDCs is Intermediate but in the absence of Assistant/UDC, he is capable of doing the additional voluminous job of Assistant/UDC such as preparation of Pension papers, Pay bills, submission of Disposition lists and other routine work in the hour of need and is always made to attend higher nature of jobs in the Department. It is pertinent to mention here that more than 80% LDCs are Graduates, out of whom sizeable numbers are even Post Graduates/Law Graduates. The Grade Pay of LDCs should be raised from Rs. 1900/- to Rs. 2400/- as per the following justification :- </div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Comparison with Data Entry Operator (DEO) & LDC </u></b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In accordance with the recommendation of 6th Pay Commission, Government of India has raised the academic qualification from Matriculation to 12th class pass or equivalent and technical qualification of typing from manual typewriter to sophisticated computer for getting selected to the post of LDC through Staff Selection Commission. It is to be noted that typing on computer is far different from the typing on typewriter because for typing on computer one should have the sound knowledge of the operation of computer or which one required to undergo a computer training programme. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The academic qualification required for both LDC & DEO are the same i.e., 12th class pass or equivalent. As regards the technical qualification, the candidate appearing for the post of LDC requires 10500 KDPH/ 9000 KDPH English and Hindi typing respectively on computer whereas the candidate appearing the Data Entry Operator requires only 8000 KDPGH on computer. But the grade pay granted/fixed for the post of LDC is only Rs. 1900/- and for the post of Data Entry Operator is Rs. 2400/-. Moreover, the DEO has only to enter the ready made data given to them, whereas the LDCs have to create data/draft letters and then type it on computer, putting up the matter through file note with justification with the support of rules and procedures. Thus the LDC practically does more work in qualitatively and quantitatively with less grade pay than that of DEO. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Several posts with unskilled work in various Ministries have been granted more pay than the pay of L.D.C. A man working as Dhobi, Nai, Mochi, Sweeper of Railway Protection Force get Rs. 2000/- Grade Pay whereas LDC who joins the department through Staff Selection Commission (All India Level Competition) gets a minimum Grade Pay of Rs.1900/- only, a Dak runner of Income Tax Department also gets more pay/benefit than LDCs. Instances of several other posts are also available. </div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<b>COMPARISON OF LDC & MTS (Erstwhile Group ‘D’ Staff) </b></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though the raising of academic qualification of MTS to Matriculation, duties prescribed for the earlier Group ‘D’ and the present MTS are the same. Whereas the academic and technical qualification of the LDC have been upgraded and assigned heavy responsibilities on them by the office concerned. The job profile of the post has undergone significant changes after introduction of modernization in Government offices.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the 5th Pay Commission, pay scale S-1 to S-4 were granted to the Group D posts and pay scale S-5 was granted to LDC, i.e., one step above than the pay scale of the senior most Group D, which never crossed over the pay scale of LDC. But in the 6th Pay Commission all the MTS who have completed 10 years service will get the grade pay of LDC and those who have completed 20 years will get a grade pay which is more than that of LDC. </div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>UDC </b></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The main work force of this Department is UDCs. In other departments UDCs may not be doing so much work as these cadres of Survey of India do. UDCs of Survey of India is liable to be posted in any section viz. Confidential, Administration, Correspondence, Accounts and Budget Section. It is the expectation of the department that he will be well aware of all types of work as entrusted /assigned to him. UDCs of this department have been dealing with preparation of Pension Cases, Pay bills, Maintenance of Service Books, TA Bills, Contingent bills (both field and Hqs), Medical bills, Reconciliation of accounts with the concerned CP&AO/RP&AO, Internal audit, all correspondences related to Audit objection, Confidential cases, Estate work, Capital work, Plan and Non-Plan Budget of the department and related correspondences with the Ministry. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Assignment of a UDC depends upon his actual posting but he should be well aware of the Rules/Regulations and all related matters. They are also assisting in adopting the information Technology in the department. <b>In view of the above, we seek for getting a favorable decision to revise the Grade Pay at Rs. 4200/- to UDC and accordingly fix the new pay scale in 7th Pay Commission. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is also pertinent to mention here that recently Rajasthan Government had set up Shri Govind Sharma Committee to study the upgradation of the grade pay of LDC & UDC. Following a very positive recommendation from the Committee the Rajasthan Government has raised the grade pay of LDC and UDC from Rs. 1900 & 2400 to 2400 band 2800 respectively. Also the names of posts ‘Lower Division Clerk’ and ‘Upper Division Clerk’ have been changed as “Clerk Grade II’ and ‘Clerk Gde. I’ respectively. Similarly, the Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana Government have reportedly upgraded the grade pay of LDC & UDC. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As per the promotion policy one LDC can be eligible for promotion to the post of UDC only after completion of 8 years and having vacancies in the grade . <b>Hence the Grade Pay of the UDC should be Rs. 4200/-. </b></div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><u>ASSISTANT </u></b></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The post of Assistant is very important post in the department and all Establishment, Administrative and Financial matters are basically examined and processed at this level. In Survey of India, Assistant generally deal with mostly various complex/complicated nature of duties in HQ, Zonal and GDCs with an independent and higher sense of responsibility. An Assistant has to have thorough and extensive knowledge with requirement to make a complete study over the cases and has to correctly interpret rules/instructions/regulations intended for making these applicable in the department. An Assistant has to be very effective/efficient in dealing with the following vital issues concerning Establishment/Administrative & Financial matters after basic examination and thorough process at their level. The duties and responsibilities of Assistant are given below:-</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Recruitment Rules of Group ‘A’,’B’,’C’ & ‘D’ </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

8. To execute the fieldwork, drawals of money before start of the field and ensure payments to the field hand well in time before and during the field season </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>THE GRADE PAY OF ASSISTANT SHOULD BE RAISED TO RS. 4600/- AT PAR WITH CENTRAL SECRETARIATE ASSISTANTS BEFORE FIXING THE PAY IN THE 7TH PAY COMMISSION. </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Extracts from Sixth Central Pay Commission Report </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1.2.18 Parity between field offices and secretariat has been proposed as, in Commission’s view, equal emphasis has to be given to the field offices in order to ensure better delivery. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2.2.19. Scales of 5000-8000, Rs. 5500-9000 and Rs. 6500-10500 has been merged to bring parity between field offices; the secretariat; the technical posts; and to work shop staff. This was necessary to ensure that due importance is given to the levels concerned with actual delivery. It is also noted that a large number of anomalies were created due to the placement of Inspectors/equivalent post in CBDT/CBEC and Assistants/Personal Assistants of Central Secretariat/CSSS in the scale of Rs. 6500-200-10500. The scales of Rs. 5500-175-9000 and Rs. 6500-200-10500, in any case had to be merged to resolve these anomalies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.1.1 The various Secretariats of the Ministries and Departments of Government of India together constitute the headquarters organization. The Secretariats are chiefly involved in matters relating to formulation of policy and ensuring that these policies are executed in a coordinated and effective manner. Actual execution of these policies, however, is left to field agencies outside the Secretariat, which may be either attached or subordinate offices or quasi-Government/autonomous/public Section undertakings. </div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>DISPARITY BETWEEN SECRETARIAT AND FIELD OFFICES </u></b></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.1.2 Historically, various services in the Secretariat have been given an edge over analogous posts in the field offices. This was done on the ground that office staff in their counter parts in field offices perform routine work relating to routine matters concerning personnel and general administration, etc. Another argument that is used to justify the edge for various posts in Secretariat is that in Secretariat, level jumping occurs and personnel in the grade of Assistant etc., submit files directly to decision making levels of Under Secretary, Deputy Secretary, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.1.3 Higher pay scales in the Secretariat offices may have been justified in the past when formulation of proper policies was of paramount importance. The present position is different. Today, the weakest link in respect of any Government policy is at the delivery stage. The field offices are at the cutting edge of administration and may, in most cases, determine whether a particular policy turns out to be a success or a failure in terms of actual benefit to the consumer. Accordingly, the time has come to grant parity between similarly placed personnel employed in field offices and in the Secretariat. This parity will need to be absolute till the grade of Assistant. Beyond this, it may not be possible or even justified to grant complete parity because the hierarchy and career progression will need to be different taking in view of the functional considerations and relativities across the board. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.1.4 A parity has long been established between the posts of Lower Division Clerk (LDC) and Upper Division Clerk (UDC) in Secretariat and field offices. The position becomes different for post above UDC level; with the Assistant in Secretariat offices being placed in higher pay scale vis-à-vis those working in field offices. Earlier, the respective pay scales of Rs. 5500-9000 and 5000-8000 existed for Assistant in Secretariat and in field offices. This disparity was aggravated in 2006 when the Government further upgraded the pay scales of Assistants belonging to Central Secretariat Service to Rs. 6500-10500. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.1.6 Assistants working in other Secretariat organizations like AFHQ, MEA and various other non-participating Ministries/Organizations etc. have been denied this and are stridently demanding similar higher pay scales from the Government. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.1.7 The Government, however, did not concede this parity and have referred the issue to this Commission for taking a final view thereon. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Sixty Pay Commission had recommended parity in terms of hierarchical structure of Office Staff in field offices and Secretariat upto the level of Assistants/Personal Assistants and the Government had accepted this recommendation. But, contrary to this, the Government of India, Ministry of Finance, Depart of Expenditure vide O.M. No. 1/1/2008-IC dated 16.11.2009 has extended the pay structure of Grade pay of Rs. 4600/- in the Pay Band PB2 to Assistants and Personal Assistants belonging to Central Secretariat Service, Armed Forces Head Quarter Service, Indian Foreign Service B and Railway Board Secretariat service and their counterpart Stenographer Services with effect from 01.01.2006, which will cover, SSC, CVC, UPSC, etc. and like-wise extended the pay structure of Grade Pay of Rs. 4800/- to the Section Officers.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the tricky reasons they attribute to this is that there is an element of direct recruitment to the post of Assistants/Personal Assistants of the Central Secretariat, and that too through an All India Competitive Examination. It is pertinent to mention here that the Staff Selection Commission, through an All India Competitive examination, selected all staff including those who are on the pay Band of PB2 in the so called field offices all over India to the service on direct recruitment. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Therefore, there cannot be any differentiation between the Section Officers/Assistants/Personal Assistants in the Central Secretariat Service and their counter parts in the field offices, which are constituted by the Central Government itself. Besides, the aforesaid O.M. says that with the issue of their own O.M. of even number dated 13.11.2009 l;the grade pay of Rs. 4600/- has already been introduced in the case of office staff in field offices also. The office staff in field offices mentioned therein refers to the Inspectors of the Customs & Central Excise and the Income Tax, whereas, the section officers and Assistants/personal Assistants working in the field offices who are in the pay band PB2 continue to receive grade of of Rs. 4200/- 4600/- respectively. But in Survey of India the Section Officer (Office Superintendent) and Assistants/HC are getting the same grade pay of Rs. 4200/- which is very pathetic. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is very important to mention here that the Sixth Central Pay Commission, headed by Hon’ble B.N. Srikrishna, was highly just by recommending merger of the three different pay scales of Rs. 5000-8000, Rs. 5500-9000 and Rs. 6500-10500 to bring parity between field offices, the secretariat, the technical posts and the work shop staff, and fixing it at the Pay Bank Rs. 9300-34800 along with grade pay of Rs. 4200/-. The fact that the Officers and Staff in Field Offices often have more work load due to limited manpower in their respective organizations on one hand and their all India transfer liability on the other, also need to be considered. Hence it is only just and proper to bring parity with the Secretariat and Field Offices, as justified and recommended by the Commission and as accepted and approved by the Government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
In judicial side, I would like to point out following decision which are in line with observations above :- <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal, Chennai in its decision dated 18.12.2007 in its decision dated 18.12.2007 in Winston Samuel v. Union of India, Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Others (OA No. 711/2006) had held that jobs with identical functions should have identical pay scales. The Central Administrative Tribunal, vide its order, has extended the grade of Rs. 4600/- to its employees in pay band PB2 corresponding to pre-revised scale of Rs. 5500-175-9000. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is held by the Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal, Guwahati in its decision dated 05.12.2007 in the matter of Alok Acharjee and others v. Union of India, Secretary, Home Affairs and others (OA No. 323/2006) that an order of court in a case of pay fixation will equally apply to all those similarly placed even if they are not party to the case.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Union of India and others v. Hirannmony Sen and others (reported in SCC (L&S) 271) has held that equal pay for equal posts can be applied if there is complete and wholesale identity between two groups (posts).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was also held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan v. Rajesh Mohan Sukhla and others (reported in SCC (L& S) 286) that equal pay for equal work will be applicable irrespective of the sources of recruitment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is now well settled that a decision given by a court or Tribunal should be applicable to all persons similarly situated as held by the Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal, Calcutta in its decision dated 27.06.2003 in A. Gowri Sankara Rao v. Union of India and other (O.A. No. 328/2001).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal, Jodhpur in its decision in January 2004 ;in Nem Singh v. Union of India and others has held that Government should give the benefit of a final decision to all similarly placed persons and should not unnecessarily send people to Court (OA No. 273/2002 and M.A. No. 127/2002). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The law has already been laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Indra Pal Yadav and Anr. V. Union of India and Others (reported in 1985 (2) SCC 648) that those who could not come to the Court need not be at a comparative disadvantage to those who rushed in the Court. If they are otherwise similarly situated, they are entitled to similar treatment, if not by anyone else at the hands of the Court.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similar view was taken by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Gopal Krishna Sharma and Others v. state of Rajasthan and Anr. (reported in 1999 (3) SCC (L&S) 544) wherein also it was held that the benefit of the Hon’ble Supreme Court judgement is to be extended to all even those who did not join as a part before the Court. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Full Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal in Abraham Titus and Ors. V. Union of India and Ors. Etc. (reported in 1992 (19) ATC 722) has also held that when a court after analysis of rival plea enunciated a proposition of law and based on those propositions, allows certain relief to some civil servants who are applicants before it, normally, it behoves the Administration to extend the benefit without any discrimination.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Several guidelines/strictures/directions derived from the judgments, including the few cited above, could have been considered by the various Administrative Authorities in the respective Departments/Ministries. The Government cannot merely deviate from the findings of Hon’ble Mr. Justice B.N. Srikrishna by bringing feeble justification such as the posts in the Secretariat are filled through All India Competitive Examinations and more merit is involved there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As per the pay commission recommendation 2.2.19 “Scales of Rs. 5000-8000, Rs. 5500-9000 and Rs. 6500-10500 have been merged to bring parity between field offices, the secretariat, the technical posts and the work shop staff. This was necessary to ensure that due importance is given to the levels concerned with actual delivery. IT is also noted that a large number of anomalies were created due to the placement of Inspectors/Equivalent posts in CBDT/CBEC and Assistants/Personal Assistants of CSS/CSSS in the scale of Rs. 6500-2000-10500.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the pre-revised pay scales of Assistants/HC in field offices have been upgraded to Rs. 6500-10500 as per the VI pay commission recommendation. The benefit of Grade pay of Rs. 4600/- which was not given to Assistants/HC of subordinate office should also be given to accord parity between field offices and secretariat staff. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Concluding, it is our request, as well as of many others in the field offices throughout India who are deprived of the Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- on the parity aspect of Sixth CPC recommendation, to bring the Grade Pay of Section Officers and Assistants/Personal Assistants in the field offices at par with that of the Secretariat. Justice may neither be delayed nor denied. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As per the above justification it is clear that the Grade Pay of Assistants should be fixed @ Rs. 4600/- as par with the grade pay of the Assistants of Central Secretariat.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><u>OFFICE SUPERINTENDENT</u></b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Office Superintendent of Survey of India exercise the same functions as Section Officers/Desk Officers in the Ministries/Departments/Secretariates of Govt. of India. The organizational structure of administrative/executive functions for control over Zones/GDCs of all over India is distributed amongst various sections in Surveyor General’s Office (HQs) ranging 12-15 ministerial staff in a section in an average and each section is headed by an Office Superintendent. These section deals upward with various Ministries and downward with the Zones/GDCs on Transfer/Posting, Recruitment/Deputation, Legal Matters/Clarification on Rules and Regulations/Financial Sanction/Plan and Non-plan Budget/Disciplinary and vigilance matters/Union and Associations and other related matters for all over India. In Zonal/GDCs level the Office Superintendent are primarily responsible to act as Principle Executive who are also practically responsible for all the ministerial functions having the budgetary volume upto Rs.80-90 crore or more. Office Superintendent has having higher responsibilities than Assistant on one hand and it cannot be merged with the lower post of Assistants in Survey of India on functional basis on the other. Other thing which is an important to mention here that the post of Assistant is the feeder cadre post for promotion to the post of Office Superintendent. Recruitment Rules of Office Superintendents and Assistants are different hence it is necessary to provide separate pay scale for Office Superintendent</div>
<br />
<b><u>THE GRADE PAY OF OFFICE SUPERINTENDENT SHOULD BE RAISED TO RS. 4800/- ON PAR WITH SECTION OFFICERS BEFORE FIXING THE PAY FOR 7TH PAY COMMISSION. </u></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sixth Pay commission recommended merger of the three pre-revised scales of Rs. 5000-8000, Rs. 5500-9000 and Rs. 6500-10500 and replaced them by the revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs. 4200 in the pay band PB-2. Vide para 2.2.21 (v) of the Report, the Commission recommended that an account of the merger of these 3 scales, some posts which constituted feeder and promotion grades would come to lie in an identical grade. The Commission gave specific recommendations in the Report granting Higher grade pay of Rs. 4600 to some categories of these posts. As regards the other posts, the commission recommended that it should first see if the posts in these 3 scales can be merged without any functional disturbance and if possible, the same should be done. The above recommendation of the Sixth Pay commission were notified vide para (ii), Section I in Parts B and C of the First Schedule to the CCS (RP) Rules, 2008. </div>
<br />
<b>Other Recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission :-</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.1.9 Accordingly, the Commission recommends upgradation of the entry scale of Section Officers in all Secretariat Services (including CSS as well as non participating ministries/departments/organizations) to Rs. 7500-12000 corresponding to the revised pay band PB 2 of Rs. 8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs. 4800.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pay scales of Section Officers of Central Secretariat is upgraded to Rs. 4800/- and on completion of four years their grade pay will be increased to Rs. 5400/- </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Grant of Grade pay of Rs. 4800/- to all Supervisory Cadres, there should be a uniform policy as supervisory cadre should have uniform pay scale or GP, at present they have different pay scales in different departments. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the same post which include similar duties and responsibility there are different grade pays/pay scales in different departments, for example in the case of an Office Suptd., or Administrative Officers, there are different pay scales existing for same nature of duties and Recruitment Rules. </div>
<br />
<b><u>ESTABLISHMENT & ACCOUNTS OFFICER </u></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The post of Establishment & Accounts Officer in the Department is the highest post on the administrative side. Important administrative questions are to be tackled in HQ with the advices of Establishment & Accounts Officer and decisions taken, which have far-reaching repercussions consequences throughout the Department unless bases on sound knowledge.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
E&AO posted at HQ have to deal directly with the state Administrative Ministry of the Govt. of India and other Ministries including Ministry of Defence. The E&AO in our Department have superior caliber, varied experience and considerable knowledge of all kinds of administrative matters to give correct advice to the higher officers. It may not be out of place to mention here that E&AOs of Survey of India have been declared “Head of Office” and are also acting as Controlling Officer for Group ‘C’ & Erstwhile Group ‘D’ employees and Drawing and Disbursing Officers for all employees. They are responsible for all administrative/accounts matters involving control on payment and control over Plan and Non-Plan expenditure of the Department. They also act as advisor to the Surveyor General of India (Head of Department)/Additional Surveyor General on their overall administrative functioning and Director (Finance) on financial matters. </div>
<br />
<b><u>THE GRADE PAY OF E&AO SHOULD BE RAISED TO RS. 5400/- BEFORE FIXING THE PAY FOR 7TH PAY COMMISSION. </u></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the VIth Pay Commission, the pay scale of Rs.7450-11500 of Establishment & Accounts Officers of Survey of India downgraded and merged with the pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 of other Group ‘B’ Officers but this post can not be compared with the other Group ‘B’ posts within the Department and outside the Department.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Till implementation of 6th Pay Commission, the comparative scale of E&AO and other Group ‘B’ posts are give below:-</div>
<br />
<table border="1" style="width: 100%;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>As per recommendation Of Pay Commission </td>
<td>Scale of Estt. & Accounts Officers </td>
<td>Other Group ‘B’ Officers</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4th CPC (1986) </td>
<td>2375-3500 </td>
<td>2000-3200 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>5th CPC (1996) </td>
<td>7450-11500 </td>
<td>6500-10500 </td>

<tr>
<td>6th CPC(2006) </td>
<td>9300-34800+4600</td>
<td>9300-34800+4600 </td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the above, it is crystal clear that the pay of Estt. & Accounts Officer was Rs.375/- in 1986 and Rs.950/- in 1996 more but 6th Pay Commission granted lesser pay to this post having higher duties in comparison with other Group ‘B’ Officers in or outside the Department.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apart from above, since the Grade Pay of Assistants should be revised and fixed as par with CCS @ Rs. 4600/- and the Grade Pay of Office Superintendents should be fixed @ Rs. 4800/- (as par with the Section Officers), there is all justification to fix the Grade Pay of Estt. & Accounts Offers, who is the in charge of the whole GDC should be fixed @ Rs. 5400/-.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even the section officers of Central Secretariat is getting the pay of Rs. 4800/- and on completion of four years 5400/-. The grade pay of Estt. & Accounts Officer who is the incharge of the office should be fixed at Rs. 5400/-.</div>

<b><u>SOME SPECIAL OBSERVATIONS</u></b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since long the staff side of the National Council (JCM) has been very reasonably demanding parity of wages. Many State Govts. of the country have been giving not only better Pay structure to their employees and workers but also keen to give better service conditions, facilities and amenities to them. It is the need of the hour that Central Govt. employees in general and Ministerial Staff of Survey of India in particular get the better Pay structure and service condition for their livelihood. The obvious backlogs which are already vogue in respect of the worst suffering ministerial cadres should at least now be removed by the 7th CPC </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Truly speaking the entire Central Govt. employees and workers also are not only sad but also worriedly deprived off not only of the Principles of natural justice and equity but also denial of their most genuine and long pending demands since a long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
************</div>
<br />
<b><u>OTHER POINTS</u></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. At present DCRG is paid maximum 16.5 time of last pay drawn if the employee complete 33 years of qualifying service. This formula was made applicable since the Pension scheme came into effect. This need to be modified on the basis of present market value and taking into consideration the span of service period i.e. wihtout restricting 33 years of qualifying service. The present rate for calculating pension @ 50% of pay may also please be revised to atleast 60% of last pay and period of restoration should be revised to 10 years instead of 15 years.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2.There should be a change in grade pay in each promotion. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.Discrimination between railways and other Central Govt. employees should be removed, remove ceiling of 5% on compassionate appointment and assure Govt. jobs in all deceased cases. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4.Provide additional increment w.e.f. 1.1.2006 to staff working in old pay scale Rs. 7450-11500 ( E & AO). As the pay scales of Rs. 6500-10500 & 7450-11500 have been merged into single grade pay of Rs. 4600/- respectively w.e.f. 1.1.2006. They should be provided with additional increment to compensate their case. It has resulted severe dissatisfaction amongst the employees of this category </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5.There should be 12 C.Ls. in place of 8.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6.CCL should be given to male employees also with an option to avail either mother or father of the child. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7.Tution fees should be enhanced @ Rs.2,000/- per child per month and the facility may be extended for graduate courses also. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8.The Benefit of Deposit Link Insurance Scheme should be increase upto Rs.1,20,000/- instead of Rs.60,000/- for the family of a deceased Govt. servant. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. The Encashment of Earned Leave should be increased upto 360 days at the time of retirement. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10.CGEGIS subscription to be increased to minimum Rs.100/- per month and benefit from the insurance fund for the family of a deceased Govt. servant may be granted Rs.1,00,000/-(minimum). </div>

When did the Right to Information Act, 2005 come into force?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: yellow"><br></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The Right to Information Act came into force fully on the 12th October, 2005 (120th day of its enactment i.e., 15th June, 2005). Some provisions came into force with immediate effect viz. obligations of public authorities [Section 4(1)], designation of Public Information Officers and Assistant Public Information Officers [Sections 5(1) and 5(2)], constitution of Central Information Commission [Sections12 and 13], constitution of State Information Commission [Sections 15 and 16], non-applicability of the Act to Intelligence and Security Organizations [Section 24] and power to make rules to carry out the provisions of the Act [Sections 27 and 28]. </div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">2. <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre"> </span>Who is covered under the Right to Information Act, 2005?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow"><br></span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The Act extends to the whole of India except the State of Jammu and Kashmir [Section 1].</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow"> 3.Are "file notings' included in the definition of Information?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow"><br></span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify">Section 2 (f) of the RTI Act defines 'information’ which includes ‘record'. Section 2(i)(a) states that a 'record' includes any document, manuscript and file. The operative definition of a 'file' is given in the Manual of Office Procedure prepared by the Central Secretariat, Government of India. The definition of 'file' in the Manual includes 'notes' and 'appendices to notes'.</div> <div style="text-align: justify">In CIC Decision No. ICPB/A-1/CIC/2006 dt.31.01.2006, the CIC held that “file notings are not, as a matter of law, exempt from disclosure”. Thus, file notings can be disclosed under the Act.</div><br><a name='more'></a> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div><br> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow"> 4. If the law under which a Public Sector Unit (PSU) has been constituted does not allow access to information to the people such as agendas of board meetings etc., will such information have to be given under the RTI Act?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow"><br></span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify">PSUs fall within the category of public authorities. Even if the law constituting a PSU does not allow disclosure of certain categories of information, the RTI Act, 2005 overrides any such law in existence. Hence the designated PIO for the organisation under question has to provide the information.</div> <div style="text-align: justify">However, if an applicant seeks information, that includes commercial confidence, trade secrets or Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) etc. the disclosure of which will affect the competitive position of that PSU, such information may not be given unless there is a larger public interest involved.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">5.Government offices have been providing information to people on the basis of their oral requests in the past. Does the RTI Act require such informal practices to end?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow"><br></span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify">No, there is no need to discontinue the conventional and informal practice of giving information upon oral request. The RTI Act does not put an end to such practices. If information can be given without delay upon oral request it is better to give such information to the requester rather than require him/her to put in a formal application. This helps reduce paper work for the public authority.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">6.Can Government officers get access to Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs) under the RTI Act?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">As per decision No.18/IC(A)/2006 dt.28.03.2006, the CIC held that “the assessment reports by the superior officers are personal and confidential information and therefore exempted under Section 8 (1)(j) of the RTI Act”.</div> <div style="text-align: justify">In the case stated above, the Central Information Commission upheld the public authority’s (Indian Oil Corporation’s) decision that ‘Annual Performance Appraisal Reports’ cannot be shared as they are confidential in nature.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">7. Can students ask for copies or inspection of their answer scripts if they are unhappy with the marks awarded by the examiner in public examinations?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The present position is that the Central Information Commission has ruled, on an appeal submitted to it, that students cannot have access to answer scripts / supplements [CIC Decision No. 22/ICPB/2006 dt. 18.05.2006]</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">8. Every department performs different kinds of functions at different levels of operation from the Secretariat to the Taluka/Village level.

In several states more than one public authority are notified within every department from the secretariat level to the district and sub-district levels. Every such public authority will have to develop its own proactive disclosure documents or Information Handbooks unique to its powers, functions, area of operation etc.</div> <div style="text-align: justify">Section 4 (1)(b) is designed to ensure that public authorities disclose certain information which are important to the public voluntarily at every level of operation. It is to be noted that, if implemented properly, Section 4(1) (b) will reduce the workload of officials and public authorities with regard to the requirement of providing information on request. This is because the information which is regularly needed by the public can be accessed by them without the need of going through a process of making specific request.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">9. Will not the publication of the 17 manuals mentioned under Section 4(1)(b) be very difficult and burdensome?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow"><br></span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The requirement to publish 'manuals' reflects the objectives of Section 4 (1)(b) for proactive disclosure on the part of every public authority, which is simply to publish and disseminate key information routinely in a manner and form which is easily accessible and understood by the public [Sections 4(3) and 4(4) of the RTI Act which specifically require this].</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The 17 subsections of Section 4(1)(b) are 17 categories of information that a public authority is required to prepare and disseminate proactively through handbooks, notice boards, print and electronic media etc.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">Most of the information required to be published proactively under this section may already be available within the public authority albeit in a scattered manner. These will need to be collected and collated to fulfil the requirement of Section 4(1)(b). Several officials are pleased with Section 4(1)(b) as it will help them streamline their own recordkeeping, monitoring and reporting procedures. Once the information is compiled and published it in a suitable format it will be easy to update it.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">Furthermore, not every public authority may be required to collate information under all categories of Section 4(1)(b). For example, the Finance Department in a State may not be issuing any permits or concessions. As it does not perform such functions the Finance Department will not be held at fault for not including this category of information in its Public Information Directory.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The CIC has, in one of its letters (dt. 10.05.2006) to all Ministries / Departments, stated that “it is in the interest of the public authorities to make available all the 17 manuals to the citizens, which is likely to reduce the volume of requests for information under the RTI Act”.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">If appropriate management information systems are developed and maintained by departments using information and communication technologies, the preparation of the information to be published at different levels annually can be a simple affair</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">10. Is it enough to disseminate information under Section 4 (1)(b) on the Internet?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow"><br></span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify">Information under Section 4 (1) (b) shall be disseminated through notice boards, news papers, public announcements, media broadcasts, the Internet or any other means.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">11. Is it enough to publish information under Section 4 (1)(b) only once at the time of the commencement of the RTI Act?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">No. The Act requires that every public authority has to update its publications under Section 4(1)(b) every year. The Central/State Government/ Departments will have to come out with general instructions for time-bound updating of all categories of information, including formats for publication. Every public authority may in turn publish updated information that is specific to its functions following the guidelines.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">12.What will be the penalty if a public authority/department is not able to meet the deadline for proactive disclosure (120 days)?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">It is advisable to publish as much information as possible under Section 4(1)(b) within the deadline and give it wide media publicity so that people know that the public authority/department is earnest about implementing the law. Any person can make complaint to the relevant Information Commission under Section 18 (1)(f) of the Act and the Commission may even require the public authority to compensate the complainant for any loss or other detriment suffered.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">It must be noted that the Information Commission has the power under Section 19(8)(a)(vi) to receive from a public authority an annual compliance report in relation to Section 4 (1)(b). This reporting mechanism will technically make the public authority answerable to the Information Commission for all acts of commission and omission in relation to proactive disclosure.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">13.Can a request be denied if it is too big? If not, how can we handle such requests best? How much information can a citizen request in one application? If he/she asks 20-30 kinds of information in one application should it be given? Or should the citizen be asked to put in fresh applications for each point of information requested and also be asked to pay application fees every time?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow"><br></span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The Act does not permit rejection of an application simply because it relates to a large number of documents. Under Section 7 (9), information shall be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would ‘disproportionately’ divert the resources of the public authority. A PIO can request the applicant to visit his/her office personally and inspect the required documents or files. However, the PIO shall communicate the date and time to the applicant for such inspection. The PIO has to determine and justify what constitutes ‘disproportionately divert resources’.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">An applicant can ask for 20 to 30 different kinds of information in the same application and cannot be asked to apply afresh.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">If the information published under Section 4 (1) (b) of the Act is comprehensive and proper information systems are maintained to enable such publication, even if an applicant requests for many pieces of information, the same can be provided to the applicant without much difficulty. Appropriate record management systems need also to be instituted.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">14.If in a single application the applicant requests information that relates to a public authority and also other public authority/authorities, is the PIO responsible for giving all that information himself/herself?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The RTI Act makes it clear that the PIO has the power to transfer an application or parts of it if the same relates to information held by another public authority [Section 6 (3)]. The application shall be transferred to the PIO concerned immediately - within 5 days - and the applicant has to be informed about the transfer in writing.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">15. Is it possible that some elements may misuse this law and use the information to blackmail/threaten officers?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The fact that the Act requires making as much information as possible available with the public authorities in the public domain may actually prevent blackmail to honest and sincere officers. If information is divided into two types, namely ‘open to disclosure’ and ‘not open to disclosure’, that which is not disclosed must be based only on the exemptions stipulated under the Act. Thus, the question of blackmail or threatening may not arise. As far as possible, information must be made public so as to reduce any possibility of blackmail. An honest and sincere officer need not fear blackmail at all. The strict adherence to the law would facilitate smooth functioning of such officers as they will be protected by law.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow">17.If there is a flood of applications for inspection of records how will the PIO provide access to all applicants and also do justice to his/her other designated duties? What if one such applicant mutilates or destroys a record during inspection?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify"><b><span style="color: yellow"><br></span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify">Under the Act, every public authority will need to designate as many PIOs as may be required to deal with requests for information from citizens. The PIOs may fix one or two particular days in a week for inspection of records.

This is in contravention of existing instructions.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"></div><a name='more'></a><br><br> <div style="text-align: justify">2 The recovery and adjustment of Govt. dues from retirement gratuity is regulated under Rules 71 to 73 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972. Rule (1) to (3) of Rule 72 ibid provide for recovery of actual amount of Govt. dues in respect of Govt. accommodation from pay & allowances before retirement and from Retirement Gratuity. Sub rule (5) of Rule 72 ibid stipulates that if, in any particular case, it is not possible for the Directorate of Estates to determine the outstanding licence fee, that Directorate shall inform the Head of Office that ten per cent of gratuity may be withheld pending receipt of further information. Further, if no Government accommodation is allotted to a Government servant, in accordance with Dte of Estate's OM No.18011/5/1990-Pol-III dated 12.10.2010, it is for the Administrative Ministry to issue an `NDC".</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">3. As regards recovery in respect of 'Govt. dues' other than those pertaining to Govt. accommodation, the Head of Office is required to complete assessment of such dues eight months prior to the date of retirement [Rule 73(2)]. The actual amount of such dues and the dues which come to notice subsequently and remain outstanding are to be adjusted against the amount of retirement gratuity becoming payable to the Govt. servant on retirement.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">4. It is, therefore, clear that there is no provision for withholding any part of gratuity at the time of retirement for the purpose of recovery of outstanding government dues other than those pertaining to government accommodation and the onus of timely collection of license fee is on the Directorate of Estates. If the Directorate of Estate does not specifically inform the Administrative Department of the outstanding dues and requests for withholding of 10% gratuity for the outstanding license fee, Gratuity cannot be withheld on this account.

The requirement of succession certificate for payment of any arrears occurs only where there is no member in the family who is eligible to receive family pension after the death of the family pensioner.

While addressing a gathering on the occasion, Shri Kharge said that this user-friendly service which will be effective from today i.e 28th June 2013, is being introduced in order to further improve the customer convenience and empower the common man who does not have access to internet and cannot afford to buy smart phones. He said that since the mobile penetration in India has increased rapidly and more than 80 per cent people have mobile phones, this new system will be helpful in enabling booking of tickets by masses themselves. Ticket booking through non-internet based mobile, introduced as a pilot project by Indian Railways Catering & Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), a Public Sector Undertaking of the Ministry of Railways, will also help Railways in overcoming the menace of touting whereby unsuspecting people are fleeced by such elements. This will particularly be useful for labourers and workers staying away from their home and who have to book tickets for travel to their native place, the Minister added.</div> <div style="text-align: justify">The Railway Minister further said that inconvenience in booking reserved railway tickets has been a cause of concern for all. In order to facilitate easy access, Indian Railways have been making efforts by expanding the passenger reservation system counters network. The online booking through IRCTC has now grown up to about 45% of total reserved tickets. This has eased the rush at counters to a great extent. While internet access in India is only about 10%, mobiles are now in easy reach and more than 80% people in our country use mobile phones, the Minister said.</div> <div style="text-align: justify">Speaking on the occasion, Chairman, Railway Board, Shri Vinay Mittal said that Indian Railways’ initiative of launching the non-internet based ticketing through a mobile phone would further enhance the scope and each of ticketing since it has huge potential to tap the power of mobile phone. Shri Mittal said that this service will be improved further with provision of more payment options, user-friendly interface and value added services like alerts and updates. Payment through mobiles is still in an evolving state and Commercial Banks, RBI and National Payment Corporation of India are working on providing a safe, secured and quick payment mechanism through mobile. As the payment option mature and user gets accustomed to SMS booking, it has the potential of overtaking bookings through internet as well as counters, he added.</div> <div style="text-align: justify">In his welcome address, the Chairman-cum-Managing Director, IRCTC, Shri Rakesh Tondon said that this is, indeed, IRCTC’s successful effort in making railway ticket booking even easier through SMS or menu based USSD technology which works on all mobile phones. Through this service, customer can not only book ticket but also can search for stations, trains, availability, PNR enquiry, make cancellation etc, he added. </div> <div style="text-align: justify">Launch of ticket booking service through mobile phones had been announced in Railway Budget 2012-13. This initiative will go a long way in customer convenience. With the passage of time, it is expected that mobile booking will surpass reserved ticket booking by all other modes like internet and counters. Mobile booking is not only convenient but it also saves time and money. The user will have to get mobile money account opened from his/her bank or mobile money providing agencies as approved by the Reserve Bank of India.</div><br>AKS/HK/BS MSA WEB TEAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08528391097442258145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136099357979820131.post-43121930545045771572013-07-09T10:18:00.001+05:302013-07-09T10:18:46.351+05:3090% DA from July, 2013 may be announced in view of May, 2013 AICPIN<div style="text-align: justify">According to the press release, the All-India CPI-IW for May, 2013 rose by 2 points and pegged at 228 two hundred and twenty eight) and expected Dearness Allowance due from July, 2013 is unchanged in respect of previous month expectation of 90% means 10% increase in present DA.

The instructions regarding grant of family pension and gratuity under these rules to the eligible member of the family of an employee reported missing had been issued vide this Department's earlier office memorandum No. 1/17/86-P&PW, dated 29' August, 1986.

A reference has been received in this Department to clarify whether in a situation where SHO states that FIR is not required to be lodged in the case of person gone missing, the eligible member of the family can be granted family pension. The matter has been examined in consultation with the Ministry of Home Affairs. Section 154 (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code mandates filing of an FIR by the Police authorities on a report received of the commission of a cognizable offence. A missing person per se does not point to commission of a cognizable offence. In view of this, cognizance of a person's disappearance can be taken by the Head of Office on the basis of an authenticated Daily Diary (DD)/General Diary Entry (GDE), filed by the Police authorities concerned, as per the practice prevalent in that State/UT.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">3. It has now been decided to issue consolidated instructions in supersession of previous instructions regarding grant of family pension to the eligible members of family of the employee/pensioner/family pensioner reported missing and whose whereabouts are not known.

Ravi, a 1975 batch officer, the Bench, comprising members B. Venkateswara Rao and Naresh Gupta, held that the defence authorities had erred in withholding his promotion without valid reason. The Bench also said, “No charge sheet has been issued to the applicant. The promotion was withheld merely on the ground of pendency of criminal investigation by the CBI.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">Mr. Ravi is presently working as Senior Deputy Director of General, Armoured Vehicles Factory, Avadi.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">He contended that he served in various capacities in other factories. The Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) convened in January 2012 and 2013 recommended his name along with S.K. Gupta and B.N. Singh for promotion to Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) for its final approval.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"></div><a name='more'></a><br><br> <div style="text-align: justify">He was not promoted on the ground of a criminal investigation by CBI pending against him. The investigation was a result of an alleged irregularity that took place when he was working at ordnance factory, Medak, between 1999 and 2005.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">In an application before CAT, he also sought a direction to the defence authorities to promote him. He also contended that the promotion had been withheld because of ‘long pending’ investigation but there was no disciplinary action of any kind initiated against him. Hence, Mr. Ravi said that the authorities postponed the promotion indefinitely.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The defence authorities contended that six vacancies arose in the level of member to the Ordnance Factory Board.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">In fact, the recommendation of DPC should be approved by Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) for effecting promotion. Along with others, the candidature of Mr. Ravi was also considered. In view of the investigation by the CBI with respect to him, the ACC accorded its approval to others and directed the Defence Ministry to resubmit the proposal for promotion of Mr. Ravi after completion of the ongoing investigation.</div> <div style="text-align: justify"><br></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The Tribunal also pointed out that a draft charge sheet which did not fructify into regular charge sheet and that should not be a ground for withholding promotion. The Tribunal added, “Unless a regular charge sheet is issued, no disciplinary action can be initiated against the officer of the government and no promotion can be withheld by the mere pendency of investigation.”</div><br>Read more at: <a href="http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/promotion-cannot-be-withheld-because-of-the-mere-pendency-of-investigation-rules-cat/article4843716.ece" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/promotion-cannot-be-withheld-because-of-the-mere-pendency-of-investigation-rules-cat/article4843716.ece</a> MSA WEB TEAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08528391097442258145noreply@blogger.com0
