Sir, I am Gr.II steno working in Def A/cs Dept.
in the GP of 4200. Recently based on DOPT clarification, our dept has redesignated Steno Gr.II and Gr.I as Steno Gr.I in PB 2 with GP 4200.

As per DOPT reply to parliament question in May, 2010, at par with CSSS, subordinate offices can get GP of 4800 to Private Secretaries.
In my opinion, PS of CSSS are getting 4800 GP, but PS of Sub offices are getting GP 4600 only. I think there is a disparity.
Please comment

Sir,
I would like to know the clarifications on fixation of Pay as per 6th CPC. I am a teacher and part-B has been implemented for pay fixation. On 1-1-2006 my basic pay was 13250/- in the pre revised pay scale Rs 10000-15200/-. I have given the grade pay Rs 7600/- (pay band-3). Rs 15600-39100/-
When my pay was fixed in the office, they simply took the basic pay drawn on 1-1-2006 and multiply by 1.86 + GP 7600/- which comes to 24650/- + 7600/- which I seems that my pay has not been fixed as per 6th CPC recommendations.
As I understand that my pay is to be fixed in the pay scale 12000 – 16500/- instead of Rs 10000-15200 as GP 7600 is applicable in the said pay scale first instead of what I was getting at that time.
Kindly give clarifications and fix my pay as I understand please. Thanks

Dear S Ram,
What interests me more is your name which has very little difference from my own, in which I place Ram before my S. I respectfully advise you to compare your position with that of Gp X corporal in Indian Air Force for which the Basic pay has been as follows:

Corporal Gr. Pay UDC Gr. Pay Sergeant Gr. Pay
3rd CPC Rs. 350 4th CPC Rs. 1460 Rs. 1200 Rs. 1640
5th CPC Rs. 4250 Rs. 3600 Rs. 5000
6th CPC Rs. 5200 Rs.2400 Rs. 5200 Rs. 2400 Rs. 5200 2800

If I correctly remember, after 4th CPC the starting basic pay of UDC was Rs. 1200 which was raised to Rs. 3600 after 5th CPC. Since decisions on fixation of salaries is taken by civilian IAS officers, you have been benefiting progressively in each pay commission whereas, the benefits to the Diploma Stream (Gp-X) have always been regressive. You should be thankful to them.

Please make comparisons and satisfy yourself. Attendance to the maintenance of aircraft/missiles, maintenance of the records & manpower, signing the log books to bear all responsibilities in case of any unfortunate mishap and simultaneously attending all the military drills & duties are much more difficult and extracting than sitting and enjoying in AC or fan.

Regards.

I am working in one of the Army Medical Unit as UDC. I am entrusted with the entire administrative tasks assisted by one erstwhile Gp `D’ staff. These erstwhile Gp `D’ staff is helping me in mail entry/sorting and dispatching only and he is having a little knowledge of English. My boss is an Army doctor and the entire responsibility of personal management of erstwhile Gp `D’ staff ,administrative tasks of other Gp `C’ staff and officer`s correspondences and their documentation lies on me. Since I am the sole administrative staff, I have to perform the tasks of Accounts management/book keeping both public and unit funds, cashbook maintenance,, record management, service book maintenance, preparation and submission of pay bills/claiming other pay related claims, TADA Claims, Stores Management etc and general routine office correspondences.
My responsibilities are enormous, it is regretted to inform you that Govt has not recognized our services and placed in the Grade pay of Rs.1900 for LDCs and Rs.2400/- for UDCs. My case is not an isolated one. There are many hundreds of LDCs/UDCs in the small units of Army itself. We are bearing the maximum responsibilities and are now equated with the Gp `D’ employees. Earlier I had a little respect from the Gp `D’ employees of my office. After the implementation of 6th CPC and the MACPS even that is also lost. My assistant is now demanding table and chair better than me to do his work. I can understand the Government`s intention is to bring equality in the pay structure of Government employees and to reduce the disparity between high and low grade as practiced in the developed nations. It is a welcoming trend, but when they are trying to satisfy the up-liftments of other categories without any functional disturbances why, LDCs/UDC is deprived from such upgradations. I could recollect news which came in one of the leading news paper that the finance commission has agreed higher scales for LDCs/UDCs at par with assistants but the finance ministry has turned down the proposal stating that it entails huge financial implications to the Government exchequer. From the foregoing now I have a doubt in my mind that the Government has not recognized us Indian citizens for whom Fundamental rights and Directive principles of the state policy is not applicable.
