OUR VISIT TO DELHI DURING 14, 15 & 16 MAY, 2013 –
A UPBRIEF
OVERVIEW
The highlight of the recent
visit of the office bearers of this Association has been our meeting with
Hon’ble Member (P&V) on 15/5/2013 at 11 a.m. The following points were taken up for
discussion in accordance with a pre determined agenda:-
A UPBRIEF OVERVIEW
(1) Promotions to CAO:-
In the face of vigorous persuasion of this Association, it was assured
that one DPC for the years 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 is most likely to be
held in May itself. The O.S.D. to Member
(P&V) and other Board officials are in constant touch with the UPSC to finalize
the dates and other aspects of the DPC.
On our request the Member (P&V) has directed the concerned officials
in the meeting itself to initiate action for the DPC of the subsequent years.
(2) Recruitment Rule of
A.O.:– It has been informed that Recruitment Rule of A.O. has been in
the very final stage and presently lying for translation to Hindi, following
which it will go for notification in the official Gazette. So the regular promotions to A.O. will
commence very soon.
(3) Pay Scales for A.O.
& D.O.S.: – It was pointed out by the leadership that Department of
Expenditure is making certain submissions in the court of law through which
they have acceded to the recommendation concerning parity between Headquarters
organization and field formations like us. Board may take up the issue afresh
with Department of Expenditure on the basis of their submissions before
judicial fora. Member (P&V) has been
very kind to accept our request and directed the concerned officer to do the
needful to send the file to Department of Expenditure.
(4) Recruitment Rule of
Inspector and age relaxation: - The Association vehemently argued for
incorporation of a suitable clause in the new RR to protect the qualifying
service i.e. – 2 years of present STAs & 10 years of TAs and Stenographers
as well in terms of the DoPT’s guidelines.
It was also requested to remove age bar together and extent their
facilities even before notification of new RR.
The Hon’ble Member (P&V) has been very kind to appreciate the Board
for incorporation of a suitable provision for retention of the present
qualifying service in the new RR and issued necessary direction to the
concerned officers. On age relaxation
also, the response was positive. We have
submitted a separate representation seeking age relaxation even before
notification of new RR.
(5) Cadre Restructuring:- The leadership pointed out that nothing has
been conveyed to this Association on Cadre Restructuring proposals which has
been altered many a times in the recent past.
The Member (P&V) advised to contact ADG (HRM) on this front. Subsequently, this Association was able to
gather some information which indicates that substantial increase of strength
in the grade of CAO and AO and to some extent in the grade of TA is expected. Moreover
the strength of Superintendent and Inspector will also be up substantially
which will benefit the Ministerial Cadre. The Cadre-restructuring file is still pending with Department of Expenditure and once it is cleared it will be sent to DoP&T.
(6) Compassion Appointment:- This Association also, for the larger
interest, raised the issue of Compassion Appointment and the slow progress
thereon because of non-availability of vacancy.
It was requested that all the vacancies falling in all the Group-‘C’
& ‘D’ posts as per the definition of the extent Recruitment Rule of various
posts in CBEC, be considered for Compassion Appointment as per DoPT’s
guidelines. A separate submission was
also made on this front.
Comradely Yours
