|
The
Central Seniority List published as on 2008 i.e. after merger of CM II and I,
have many discrepancies in arriving one’s seniority on All India basis. The
Central Seniority List should have clear criterion in arriving combined
seniority with details of ROTA / QUOTA followed in each factory, marks /
merit list, date of publishing result and date of holding post. Also many
individuals’ Names were missing in the published Central Seniority List.
|
OFB

factories is being made for settling discrepancies and fast processing. This
will be completed with a time period of 2 months.

REVISING OF
INTERGRADE RATIO FOR CHARGEMAN / NT FROM 70:30 TO 60:40
|
The
inter-grade ratio of 60:40 is maintained for Chargeman (T) and JWM (T).
Whereas, for Chargeman (NT) and JWM (NT) is 70:30. Because of the disparity
in the ratios of Chargeman and JWMs, technical Chargeman are getting a
quicker promotion when compared to NT Chargeman.

Ordnance Factories and decided thereon and hence it shall not be considered.

INCREASING OF
RATIO OF JWM (NT/OTS) BASED ON STRENGTH OF OFFICE SUPERINDENTANT
|
The
strength of JWM (NT/OTS) at present has been calculated on the basis of
strength of Chargeman (NT/OTS) alone. The strength of Office Superintendent
is not being considered while calculating the strength of JWM (NT/OTS). This
affects the inter-grade ratio of 70:30 to become 86:14 presently resulting
delayed promotions.
|
OFB
agreed with the proposal of NDNGSA and intimated that they will be forwarding
a proposal to MoD for considering strength of OS for revision of strength of
JWM(NT/OTS). This will create 540 vacancies in JWM(NT/OTS)
