ITEM NO.3. Divisional arrangement/local arrangement in selection grade posts, irregular clarification issued in Tamilnadu Circle.
Under para 3 of the CPMG Tamilnadu circle Memo No. STA/2-79/SK/11 dated 08.08.2012, it is instructed that it should be ensured that no ineligible officials are allowed to officiate in higher posts and that they should not be drawn the pay applicable to higher posts. It had resulted in stoppage of drawal of officiating pay to the LSG officials who have been ordered to officiate in HSG II and HSG I posts in the absence of the eligible officials as per Recruitment Rules. The officiating arrangements for HSG II and HSG-I posts are being made from the LSG officials only in the dearth of eligible officials for regular promotion. Further the instructions issued in Tamilnadu circle is utter violation of Rule 50 of volume IV and also vitiates the Directorate instructions dated 30.07.2012 on the subject.
It is therefore requested to kindly cause appropriate instructions to rescind the order and allow officials to draw the entitled officiating pay as per the rules.
ITEM NO. 4. Non implementation of Delhi High Court orders on revision of pay scales of Packers, Foreign Post, case of Chennai Foreign Post in Tamilnadu Circle.
Despite clear orders dated 17.08.2012 and subsequent clarifications dated 03.09.2012 of the Directorate, the implementation of the orders has not been carried out by the Director, Foreign Post Chennai till date.
The Directorate vide its letter and 04.09.2012 clarified that they should be allowed the pay scale of Rs. 950-1500 w.e.f 01.01.1986 and further pay scale of Rs. 3050-4590 w.e.f 01.01.1996 and Rs. 5200-20200 with grade pay Rs. 1900 w.e.f 01.01.2006. Earlier the DoPT as well as the Directorate clarified that the previous financial upgradation in respect of Group ‘D’ shall be ignored and will be provided fresh refixation after the introduction of MACP. Similarly there was a pay scale fixed for the posts having the pay scale of Rs. 950-1500 for TBOP and after 01.11.1991 for also BCR after the introduction of MACP similarly orders have been communicated after 6th CPC about the pay scales applicable for TBOP and BCR for the entry pay scale of Rs. 3050-4590.
As such the clarifications sought for by the Director Foreign post is nothing but to delay the dues to be paid the officials. Similarly the clarification sought by him about the next grade pay after fixing with Rs. 1900 is totally unwarranted. The Director mentioned that the Directorate orders are not clear about refixation of pay to Group ‘D’ officials whether it is notional or arrears to be drawn despite very clear clarification is issued by the Directorate on 04.09.2012 to give effect from 01.01.1986. It is pertinent to mention that in all the three Foreign Posts other than Chennai, the pay fixation was already carried out and arrears were drawn. Further promotions were also accorded under MACP thereafter.
