Point
No.1 Redressal of anomalies in Seniority
list of Chargeman.
OFB’s Comments
Preparation
of seniority list for all disciplines of CM(T/NT) as on 01-01-2015 would only
be feasible after conduction and completion of necessary formalities of RDPC
from the vacancy year of 2009-10 onwards up to 2013-14 and regular DPC for the
vacancy year of 2014-15 for the post of JWM(T/NT) can be convened.
Review DPC of JWM is under process.
Point No.2 Promotion of Chargeman(T/NT) to the post of
JWM:-
Since, the last three years not a single Chargeman has been promoted to the
post of JWM whereas loss of vacancies are there. This process spoils the career
of Chargeman & it is a well-known fact that a person who knows about his
dull career, never serve to owner/employer/Organization with true heart or with
honesty. Ultimately entire negative impacts go to the productivity of the
organization.
OFB’s Comments
Consequent
on publication of revised seniority list as on 01-01-2009 onwards, up to
01-01-2013 for all disciplines of Chargeman (T/NT) in August, 2015, substantial
change in the incumbency position has been observed and hence prior to convene
regular DPC it is required to conduct review DPC for all disciplines of the
post of JWM (T/NT). Accordingly, relevant date as obtained from the respective
factories has been compiled and is about to place to DPC after observing
relevant formalities. After conduction and completion of necessary formalities
of RDPC form the vacancy year of 2009-10 onwards up to 2013-14 and regular DPC
for the vacancy year of 2014-15 for the post of JWM(T/NT) can be convened. The
action relating to the promotions will be initiated after completion of the

OFB’s Comments
Follow Action Taken Report
Point No. 1
Point No.4 Cadre Review:- A process of
cadre review of Group-B Gazetted & Non-Gazetted is going on but it is
unfortunate that no discussion has been arranged between the OFB official &
stake holders associations. Central Executive of the Association is failed to understand
that why OFB is ignoring the request of stake holders Association in this
regard.
OFB’s Comments
Cadre
Review proposal is pending with MOD.
Point No.5 Promotional 3% increment may be granted to
those who were promoted MCM to CM (for higher responsibility) : As per the

at NADP with related ACP/MACP issues .
OFB’s
Comments
Matter is under PC of A
(Fys). Clarifications sought have already been forwarded to PC of A (Fys).
Point No.6 Night Duty Allowance:- PC of A has
issued a order regarding NDA, as per order a employee getting the pay in pay
band more than 12380/- is not entitled for NDA. The order published by PC of A
creates a negative environment in organization. If this order published by PC
of A is implemented in organization then a junior Chargeman will get NDA
whereas the senior Chargeman working in similar environment will not get NDA.
Even though one also performs the function of unit in charge. It is against the
natural justice.
OFB’s Comments
The matter has been taken up
with PC of A (Fys) for fixation of ceiling NDA as per the national rate of Rs.
2200/- per month which was determined by DOP&T vide O.M. dated 04-10-1989.

informed the Chair that they are working favorably and necessary orders will be

Point No.7 Incorporation of AIANGOs views in Proposal
for revision of SRO in respect of JWM (T&NT).
(a) There should not be any clause for education
qualification in LDCE for JWM(T) in proposed SRO.
(b) Inter grade ration between JWM-NT &
Chargeman-NT/OS.
OFB’s Comments
(a) Though
DOP&T OM dated 31-12-2010, guidelines/instructions for framing of RRS had
been circulated wherein under Point 3.9 it was specifically conveyed that for
Scientific and Technical posts, education qualification should be insisted upon
for promotes also. The subject proposal has been framed in conformity with the
DOP&T guidelines. However, for regular / seniority based promotions, no
such provision of EQ has been proposed and the same has only been prescribed
for LDCE which is considered as fast track promotion.
(b) To bring
parity in the inter-grade ratio of CM and JWM in both disciplines, two separate
Cadre Review proposals for JWM / Chargeman and Clerical Cadre was framed and
submitted to MOD. Relevant incorporation / modifications had been made in the
proposed strength of the subject Cadre Restructuring proposals and additional
strength in the cadre of JWM (NT/OTS) exclusively for promotion for OS has been
duly accounted while deriving the revised strength. Detail will be informed in

being examined at OFB.
Point No.11 Re-designation of various common
categories (OFB Ltr. No. 1/6th CPC/2015/Per/Policy dated 29-07-2015.
OFB’s Comments
As this action involves
amendment of respective SRO, necessary action has to be taken by the respective
Cadre Controlling Sections.
The DDG/IR intimated that
due to misinterpretation of circular some of factories has published the order
of re designation in Store side. The clarification will be issued by OFB very
soon.

years OT and PLB.
OFB’s Comments
The Chair directed to examine the
issue and necessary guidelines will be issued shortly.
Point No.14 Centralization of LDCE Chargeman
post:-
Previously CM post was factory/local based post for which LDCE was conducted
factory wise. At present CM post is centralized & the vacancies of all the
factories may be taken & exam may be conducted centralized by OFIL like
JWMs LDCE. By conducting centralized examination, all the vacant post in
different factories can be filled. Moreover there will not be any discrepancy
in seniority of Chargeman which is prevailing now. OFB’s
Comments
The point may be considered
only after OFRC is considered and approved by MOD.
Point No.15 Creating separate stream for clerical
from LDC – OS to JWM Promotions.
OFB’s Comments
In the Cadre Review proposal
it has already been proposed to consider 480 posts OS to JWM on promotion. The
same is pending with M of D.
Point No.16 Since Charegeman only being the feeder
cadre for JWM/NT, promoting OS to JWM/NT is against the provision of SRO.
Hence, OS to JWM/NT promotion should not be allowed, or else JWM/NT strength
must be enhanced proportionately. OFB’s Comments
Proposal for additional strength in the cadre
of JWM (NT/OTS) exclusively for promotion for OS had been submitted to MOD.
Detail will be informed in meeting
Point No.17 OFILs should get AICTE approval for run
the diploma & Graduation courses.

accordingly to conduct LDCE from Chargeman.

The draft proposal for
framing of SRO for JWM/NT has already been uploaded in the DOP&T web portal
for necessary approval. Provision for LDCE as a method of recruitment to the
post of JWM/NT has been incorporated therein. Latest queries / observations of
MOD has been received vide MOD ID dated 08-10-2015. Reply to the same has been
submitted to MOD on 13-10-2015.
Point No.19 Initiation to vacate the court stay
Order on JCM forum at High Court, Madras.
OFB’s Comments
The point has been noted.
Necessary efforts are being made to get the stay vacated.
Point No.20 As per point raised in JCM-III meeting
held during 10th June 2015, since chargeman only being the feeder
cadre for JWM/NT, promoting OS to JWM/NT is against the provision of present
SRO. Hence, OS to JWM/NT promotion should not be allowed, or else JWM/NT
strength must be enhanced proportionately, as per proposed SRO. (NDNGSA)
OFB’s Comments
Position as explained in
Point No. 16 above.
Point No.21 Revised the honorarium to various
performed duties
OFB’s Comments
Honorarium is applicable only
for exam related duties not for other duties since they are part of regular
nature of work of Organization.
Point No.22 In order to overcome the acute
stagnation in Chargeman/JWM cadre Direct Recruitment to the post of JWM under
“failing which clause” of SRO is to be stopped and that vacancies are to be
filled through promotion from Chargeman cadre.
OFB’s Comments
As per the
existing SRO for JWM/Tech, the ‘failing which’ clause is not associated with
the vacancies that are earmarked for promotion only. Even in the draft proposal
for framing / reframing of SRO for the post of JWM (T &NT), the said
provision has not been included within the promotion quota.
Point No.23Implementation of SOP for inspection of
input material.
OFB’s Comments
Kindly refer Dir/Vig OFAJ
letter dated 07-05-2015 wherein it has been pointed out that OFCH is not
following the SOP guidelines for Input Material Inspection. The matter has also
been reported to OFB by the General Secretary/AIANGOs.
In view of above OFCH is
advised to follow the SOP guidelines for Input Material Inspection strictly.
Point No.24 As per OFB instruction No. 754/Per/Policy

liaison with MOD to expedite the issue related to Gr. B Cadre. So that the
issues should be settled in a time frame manner.

Point No.27 As per guidelines of OFB no periodical
meeting with Staff Association are conducted by factory management. Therefore
clear instruction should be given to all GM’s to conduct periodical meeting
with Staff Associations at least once in 3 months. The Minutes of the same

has already been issued to all concerned factories vide No. 20/15/18(11)/A/IR
dated 13-07-2015. A circular will be issued to all for
providing the minutes of meeting between association and GM.
