Subject :- Submission of Charter of demands –
regarding.
Sir,
It
is our pleasure to submit the charter of demands pertaining to Government
servants working under different departments of A&N Administration. The
demands are as follows:-
1.
Timely conduct of DPC by all the departments
from time to time as per guidelines issued by GOI :- Sir, we
regret to state that, the departments of
A&N Administration are not proper adhere to the instructions and guidelines
issued by GoI from time to time, which has resulted to suffer and damage
carrier progress of good number of Govt. servants. The invariably delays in
conducting DPCs for giving promotions resulting inconsiderable frustration
among the officials, thereby adversely affecting their morale and overall
productivity. To overcome such situations, we request your goodself to kindly
issue necessary instructions to all the departments of A&N administration
to strictly follow the GoI’s OM No. 22011/9/98-Estt.(D) dated 8.9.1998 and
22011/1/2011-Estt.(D) dated 11.3.2011. Copies enclosed for ready reference.
2.
Filling
up of Vacant posts of all the Departments on priority basis :- Sir, there are a good number of posts of
various categories are lying vacant
under different departments of A&N Administration. Due to shortages of
staff, the existing staffs are being overburdened and the progress as well as output of the
department is declined. Thus, to resolve these problems including unemployment
problems, strict guidelines may be issued to all the department to fill-up
their vacancies on merit basis.
3.
Proper repair & maintenance of Ships and
to provide more Ship facilities between
Port Blair - Inter-islands and mainland :- Sir,
Shipping services are most important
lifeline of Islanders to visit Inter-Islands and mainland. Which should have
been more active and sufficient by all means to provide better transport
services? The Southern groups of our Islands are fully dependent on shipping
services. But, we are sorry to say that,
the conditions of existing small and big Ships are not praiseworthy and not in
good condition to put in proper operation. A few Ships are plying between
mainland and Inter-Islands, which are not adequate to cater the Islanders.
Therefore, we request your goodself to take necessary action on priority basis
to make good use of existing vessels by
undertaking proper repair and maintenance and also take necessary action to
procure more small and big ships to provide better means of transport to the
Islanders as well as mainlanders.
4.
Re-Structuring
of Cadres and periodical review of cadres
by all Departments:-
Sir, the 6th CPC has recommended MACP for stagnated employees, but
this has become a fall back option in the event of promotions not taking place.
Thus, the GOI, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, New Delhi
has emphasized the need of Cadre Re-structure and periodical review of cadres
for harmonious functional needs of the Organisation and carrier progression of employees. And
accordingly, advised all concerned to
review the cadre structure in a time bound manner with a view to mitigate
problem of stagnation vide OM No. 35034/9/2010-Estt.(D) dated 10th
February, 2011. But, this has not been implemented by most of the departments
of A&N Administration. Thus, a Circular may kindly be issued to all the
HODs /Head of Office for proper implementation without further delay to
protect the interest of employees.
5.
Completion
of Disciplinary Proceedings of Govt. Servants in a time bound manner :- Sir, instances have noticed that, the HODs initiate
Disciplinary actions against the
employees and delaying its
process, which cause time
consuming and an harassment to an
employee. This kind of practice is highly objectionable and warrant the intervention of A&N Administration . It would be
pertinent to mention here that, the circulars and directions issued by the
A&N Administration from time to time
is not strictly adhered by the HODs. Thus, the matter may be viewed
seriously to overcome the problems.
6.
Providing in-service training to all
categories of Govt. staff working under A&N Administration from time to
time:- Sir, the GoI has provided opportunities to
Government servants to undergo in-service
trainings to get better output from them. The departments are also keeping a provision
and fund for the said purpose, but the same is not implementing properly. As a
result, the department is not able to extract better and efficient utility from
Government servants, who are the key pillars of our country’s development. Therefore, necessary guidelines may be issued
to all the departments of A&N Administration to depute their staffs for
in-service trainings etc. from time to time to get better yield from them.
7.
Implementation
of e-governance system in all departments :- Sir, the GoI is emphasizing
implementation of e-governance system in almost all the organisations for
transparency and fast development. It is
learnt that, the A&N Administration is also initiated action on this
matter, which may be expedited to achieve the target by providing proper
infrastructure and human resources.
8.
Opening
of Centralized Grievances Cell for Retired Govt. Servants and General Public at
Secretariat, Port Blair
:- Sir, we would like to inform you that, the A&N
Administration has already taken
necessary steps for operating a Public Grievance Cell in all the departments on the initiation of
Hon’ble Lt. Governor. But, the ultimate result is not found satisfactory. And
the grievance cell could not stand result oriented for public grievances in many cases, because
there is no Centralized Cell to approach, appeal or monitor and to issue time bound directions to Departments. Similar, problems are also being faced by
retired Government servants too. Thus, we request your goodself to kindly take
necessary action for opening a Centralized Public Grievances Cell at Secretariat, Port Blair to monitor
and accept the unsolved grievances of general public and retired Govt.
servants.
Finally, we request your goodself to
kindly examine the above mentioned demands in detail and take appropriate
action to full-fill it on priority basis in the better interest and welfare of
Government servants.
Thanking You.

( P.KANNAN)

Clarification

|
Whether the benefits of ACPS
would be allowed in respect of isolated cases due between 01.01.2006 and
31.08.2008 where the pre-revised pay scales of Rs.5000-8000 &
Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 & Rs.7450-11500 have been merged into
single grade pay of Rs.4200 and Rs.4600 respectively w.e.f. 01.01.2006?
|
Yes. Since the pre-revised
Rs.5000-8000 & Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 & Rs.7450-11500
(isolated cases) have been merged into single grade pay of Rs.4200 and
Rs.4600 respectively w.e.f. 01.01.2006, the benefits of 1st and 2nd financial
upgradations under the ACPS should be considered/allowed in the grade pays of
Rs.4600 and Rs.4800 in PB-2, as the case may be, due between 01.01.2006 and
31.08.2008 in respect of isolated cases in terms of para 5 of Annexure-I of
MACPS dated 19.05.2009.

In a hypothetical situation
cadre hierarchy was as follows:
Rs.5000-8000 (revised GP 4200)
Rs.5500-9000 (revised GP 4200)
Rs.6500-10500 (revised GP 4600)
Rs.7450-11500 (revised GP 4600)
Rs.10000-15200 (revised GP 6600)
(i) What would be the 1 st
financial upgradation under the ACPS for a Government employee recruited in
pre-revised pay scale of Rs.5000- 8000, who has completed his 12 years of
regular service on 12.04.2007 (between 1.1.2006 and 31.8.2008);
(ii) What would be 2nd
financial upgradation for employee recruited in 5000-8000, who has completed
24 years of regular service on 12.04.2007 (between 1.1.2006 and 31.8.2008)
|
In terms of clarification given
on point of doubt no.3 issued vide DOPT's O.M. No.35034/3/2008-Estt.(D) dated
9.9.2010, the benefits of ACPS would be applicable in the new pay structure
adopted w.e.f. 1.1.2006 in the promotional hierarchy.
(i): Since the pre-revised pay
scales Rs.5000-8000 & Rs.5500-9000 have been merged and placed in PB-2 with
grade pay of Rs.4200, 1st financial upgradation would be allowed in the grade
pays of Rs.4600, subject to fulfillment of promotional norms as stipulated in
condition no.6 of Annexure-I ACPS dated 9.8.1999, in terms of clarification
given on point of doubt no.1 of ACPS dated 10.02.2000.
Since the pre-revised pay
scales Rs.6500- 10500 & Rs.7450-11500 have been merged and placed in PB-2
with grade pay of Rs.4600, 2nd financial upgradation would be allowed in the
grade pay of Rs.6600, subject to fulfillment of promotional norms (after
framing of RRs post merger) as stipulated in condition no.6 of Annexure-I
ACPS dated 9.8.1999, in terms of clarification given on point of doubt no.1
of ACPS dated 10.02.2000.

|
(iii) If a Government servant
recruited in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.5000-8000 has been promoted in
the promotional hierarchy in the pre- revised pay scale of Rs.5500-9000 prior
to 1.1.2006 (and he has put in 14 years of regular service) then
would there be any claim for financial upgradation under ACPS.
|
(iii): The pre-revised pay
scales Rs.5000-8000 & Rs.5500-9000 have been merged and placed in PB-2
with grade pays of Rs.4200 w.e.f. 1.1.2006. Hence, the promotion would be
ignored as he has completed his 12 years of regular service and the benefit of
1 st ACP would accordingly be allowed in the promotional hierarchy i.e. in
the grade pay of Rs.4600 w.e.f. 01.01.2006.
|
|
(iv) If the above Government
servant had put in 22 years as on 31.08.2008, then what would be the
entitlement in MACP <
|
(iv): As given above, the 1 st
ACP would be in PB-2 grade pay of Rs.4600 after ignoring the previous
promotion. Thereafter, since employee has completed more than 20 years of
regular service on 01.09.2008, he would be entitled for 2nd financial
upgradation under the MACPS in the immediate next higher grade pay of Rs.4800
in PB-2 subject to fulfillment of condition as stipulated in para 17 of
Annexure-I of MACPS dated 19.05.2009.
