Submission of memorandum against the 7th CPC report
Recommendation of 7th CPC
with reference to almost cadre is very unfortunate, unsatisfactory and
disappointing for central Govt. Employees except a very few in top levels along
with some other specific cadres. It can be said simply that belated merger of
DA in basic pay has been done by this pay commission nothing else. Hence it
needs complete review and correction. Following is submitted for your kind
perusal and necessary correction please.
It is desirable as principle to be
followed as mentioned in page 55 of chapter 4.1 of seventh CPC report itself.
But unfortunately it is not seen in pay fixation of Master craftsman and
Chargeman. Both are having distinct nature of job, responsibilities and
qualification which is required to be reflected in their pay fixation according
to the principle illustrated in chapter 4.1.
1) Regarding
Upgradation of Chargeman cadre: In any organization, functional
and remuneration hierarchy is framed for a harmonious, disciplined and
passionate working environment. Hierarchy is also maintained in all grades
available in Ordnance factory. However, from 5th CPC, functional
hierarchy is maintained between Master Craftsman and Chargeman while
remuneration of master craftsman is lifted to the same level as Chargeman. In
Ordnance Factory, CM is executing works of all category viz. production,
planning, procurement, designing, development, inspection, plant operation,
maintenance and supervision of all category of Industrial worker including Master
Craftsman. It is very unpractical to supervise and direct to Master Craftsman
on shop floor, drawing the same pay.
5th CPC and 6th
CPC both has recommended higher pay scale to Chargeman(supervisory cadre) than
Master Craftsman (Industrial cadre) and regretted the pay parity of Master
craftsman demanded by the federations. Later on, due to cadre restructuring of
industrial employees, Master craftsman was upgraded in the grade pay 4200/-
PB-2 of 6th CPC which was originally granted to Chargeman in 6th
CPC.
Since Master Craftsman is a feeder
post to Chargeman and both are having distinct job responsibilities at shop
floor and keeping in mind of the qualification of chargeman also, MoD is
requested to consider our demand to place Chargeman in level-7 in pay matrix of
7th CPC report, one step above to Master Craftsman due to functional
role in hierarchy, to encourage the moral of 12000 chargeman of this
organization as well as to maintain shop floor cultural of good governance.
2) Indexes of levels of existing grade pay
4200 (level-6), 4600 (level-7) and 4800 (level-8) in the pay matrix are having
identical pay slab, thus there will be no any financial benefit at the time of
promotion/MACP by fixation from existing level to next level of promotion/MACP.
Promotion/MACP among these three levels, fixation will be just equal to annual
increment only. This is required to be corrected in such a way that promotional/MACP
fixation should have higher growth than annual increment. It can be seen in Annexure
-I
MoD is requested to kindly consider
fixation above two slabs in next level of promotional hierarchy at the time of
promotion/MACP.
3) Risk Allowances for
All the cadre those are working in hazardous(Explosive manufacturing) in
Ordnance Factories irrespective of Cadre- Ordnance Factories are
manufacturing Explosives and other product which has got many Health Hazard and
cause many accidents during the manufacturing process. At present Industrial
employees are granted risk Allowances only.
Therefore this association suggests
extending the same risk allowances to the entire cadre including Gazetted
cadres those are involved in manufacturing process of Hazardous substances in
ordnance Factories.
This Allowance may be fixed in
R2H3 in the RHA matrix in the 7th CPC recommendation
4) It is well known fact that day to day
basis, there is a hike in a cost of land, material required for building of
house, resulting increase in house rent accordingly. But the same time seventh
CPC recommended reduction of house rent allowance. Status quo for HRA should
remain as per 6th CPC i.e. 30%, 20% and 10%.
5) MACP should be minimum 4 after every 8
year from the date of Inception in the service and in the hierarchy of the
post. In case of promotion through Limited departmental competitive
examination, inception in service must be taken in account for the purpose
of MACP.
6) Status quo for all advances and
allowances may be maintained as per 6th CPC with appropriate hike.
7) Higher education is today’s need of
country hence it is the request of the Association that CEA should be given for
higher education i.e. upto Degree level. Furthermore it is also requested that
NOC for higher education should be given to Group B non gazzeted and gazzeted
also.
8) Reimbursement of CEA and daily allowances
during deputation should be reimbursed without vouchers/bills.
9) Family planning Allowances may be
continued.
10) Special Compensatory (Hill Area) Allowance
may be continued and may be placed in R2H3 in the RHA matrix.
11) Hard station allowance may be enhanced @
25% of basic pay to encourage people working at hard station and are getting less
salary than who are enjoying metro.
12) Chapter 4.2 of seventh CPC report is
related with determination of minimum pay of central Govt. employee. In this
chapter at Page 65, Seventh CPC published a calculation table for determination
of minimum pay but we are very sorry to say that price list of some essential
goods mentioned in this list is not relevant. It is also pertinent to mention here that
dependent parents are not included as family member. Hence it is requested to
kindly reconsider the minimum pay of central Govt. employee with appropriate
manner.
13) Duty and responsibilities of service
providing and production sector are totally different.
It is not agreeable to provide same
pay structure for the both.
Submitted please.

sincerely Your
