Request for grant of Grade Pay of ` 1900/- to Ferro Printer of APWD


No.       GEF/ANI/2012/18                                                                      Date :        29.03.2012


To

The Commissioner-Cum-Secretary (PWD),
A & N Administration,
Secretariat, Port Blair. 

Subject :- Request for  grant of Grade Pay of ` 1900/- to Ferro Printer of APWD  by bringing  at par with their counterpart working in Electricity Department & Dr. B.R. Ambetkar Govt.  Polytechnic  etc.  of A&N Administration   – reg.

Madam,
                Its our pleasure to submit a long pending demand of Ferro Printer, working under APWD Establishment and who have been victimized / discriminated from their legitimate claim of  granting Grade Pay of   ` 1900/- by bringing at par with their counterparts working  in Electricity Department & Dr. B.R. Ambetkar Govt.  Polytechnic  etc. of A&N Administration.

            In this connection, we would like to bring the following facts and circumstances to your kind notice for taking appropriate action.

1.        That Madam,  the Ferro Printers working under APWD Establishment are suppose to be granted Scale of pay and other service benefits at par with their counterparts working in CPWD Establishment as that of other categories of staffs of APWD get in routine nature.  But, the Ferro Printers have not been given any service benefits at par with their counterparts of CPWD.

2.        That Madam, the  Ferro Printers of CPWD have been granted Scale of Pay of  ` 5200 - 20200 and Grade Pay of  ` 2000/- in the 6th CPC.   Whereas, the Ferro Printers of APWD have been granted same scale of pay due to merger  but the Grade Pay was granted only  ` 1800/-, which is a minimum grade pay of a lowest government servant.  Being victimized the  Ferro Printers of APWD  approached Hon’ble CAT and Hon’ble High Court  seeking justice.  But, even after getting appropriate directions from Hon’ble  Courts, the Ferro Printers of APWD were not consider for granting Grade Pay of ` 2000/-, rather their case was referred to Ministry by A&N Administration. Which was latter on turn down by the Ministry without going into the depth of the matter. As a result, the Ferro Printers of APWD  were not granted Grade Pay of ` 2000/- at par with CPWD.

3.        That Madam, as per A&N Administration’s Notification dated 7th November, 2002 all the Staff of APWD are eligible to get the service benefits  at par with staff of  CPWD because APWD is following  the CPWD Code and CPWD Manual in all respect as per the above notification.  The other categories of staff of APWD are getting scale of pay and service benefits etc. at  par with CPWD Staff.  Copy of notification is enclosed herewith for ready reference .


4.        That Madam, it would be appropriate to mention here that, the Ferro Printers of other department of A & N Administration are also drawing higher Grade Pay of ` 1900/- as compared to  Ferro Printers of APWD drawing ` 1800/-.  The Group “D” staff of APWD get promotion into the post of Ferro Printer, which is a Group “C” post,  after completion of 10 years of regular service and passing the trade test.  Thus, being Group “C” technical post, the Ferro Printer of APWD have been pulled down to lowest Group “D” post during 6th CPC due to various administrative lacunas committed by department  and A&N Administration as well. 

5.        That Madam, the APWD establishment has also having realized the problems being faced by Ferro Printers, recommended for grant of Grade Pay of ` 1900/- to A & N Administration  for  amendment of  Recruitment Rule. But, the same was also not considered.

            Therefore, we request your goodself to kindly do the needful for granting atleast  ` 1900/- Grade Pay to Ferro Printers of APWD w.e.f. 01.01.2006 based on the facts and circumstances mentioned above by making necessary amendment in the Recruitment Rule  and accord  proper justice to them. 

Thanking You.
Yours faithfully,


Encl :A/A.
