Letter to OFB for stopping of LTC recovery

No. NDNGSA/CE/Cr-6/2016                                                                Date: 30/03/2016

        

The DGOF & Chairman,

Ordnance Factory Board,

10-A, S. K. Bose Road, Kolkata

Kind Attn: Shri A. S. Bhatnagar, Dir/NG

           Sub: Recovery against LTC claim

          Ref: (i) Dopt F. No. 31011/412007-Estt.(A) Dtd. 20/04/2010

                 (ii) Dopt F. No. 31011/3/2015-Estt.(A-IV) Dtd. 01/04/2015

  Respected Sir,

I have been directed by the Central Executive committee of NDNGS Association to bring the following facts to your kind notice and favourable action please.

  1.       The Union Government has extended LTC facilities in relaxation of CCS (LTC) Rules-1988 to travel by air to North East Region (Guwahati, Gangtok), Srinagar and Andaman & Nicobar Islands to develop tourism. A good mass of employees from OFB organization had availed this facility from the year 2008 positively. Whereas, at this late stage, Test Audit group has declared the LTC final claims as inadmissible, as the LTC air travels were proceeded contrary to the provisions of Min.of Finance OM.No.19024/1/2009/E.IV Dated-16.09.2010. Accordingly, letter has been issued to Chargeman and JWMs in some Ordnance factories, to remit the total amount with penal interest.

  2.       Detailed instruction and procedure to be followed have been issued in last year vides Dopt order cited under reference (ii). Even though in para 3 of this Dopt order, Govt himself pointed out the system failure by quoting “At the same time it has been noticed that administrative authorities have also shown laxity and due to diligence on their part could have prevented such situations from arising.”

  3.       Further, it is to be noted that, the LTC applicants were even availed the advance amount only after due verification of the tickets by the concerned authorities, simultaneously if the Air Tickets were rejected prior to the release of advances, the individuals would have cancelled their LTC journey. It is a very transparent fact that, the LTC journeys were preceded through Air India only, boarding passes submitted may be verified in this regard. After a lapse of more than 3 years, the test audit group has declared the claims inadmissible which was settled and passed by PC of A (Fys) after rigorous scrutiny of claims. This move is created lot of unrest and panic situation among the Govt. servant.  

  4.       MoD vide ID No. 11/1/2013-D(Civ-II) dtd. 24/07/2015 has taken up the matter with Dopt. for a decision on the LTC claim submitted by the defence civilian employee where the air ticket have not been purchased in accordance with the Govt. instruction due to lack of awareness. In this regard MoD itself asked for the details of such cases from the OFB with suitable comments to forward dopt for consideration of one time relaxation. In the same line, OFB vide Instruction No. 612/A/A(Pt. II) dtd.06/08/2015 has asked to factories  and matter is between MoD and Dopt for consideration.

  5.       Honorable CAT, Jabalpur in his decision against the recovery in LTC had pointed out the slackness of administration and directed to consider LTC claim of the applicant by relaxing the condition regarding purchase of ticket from the airline or authorized agencies mentioned in Min. of Finance OM.No.19024/1/2009/E.IV Dated-16.09.2010.          

  6.       Apart from the above, some concerned authority is following the procedure that, not to sanction the LTC advance amount unless air ticket is produced. Salaried/Waged employees were not in a position to bear the huge advance amount need for ticket bookings. It is requested that concerned authority may ask to give advance amount to make enable to Govt. servant to purchase air ticket.

Considering the merit of this appeal, your good office is requested not to re-open the settled cases since the OFB/MoD itself is seeking one time relaxation for their employee and requested to Dopt for a favorable decision.

          Submitted for kind consideration and favorable action please.

SUBMITTED MEMORANDUM TO DEFENCE SECRETARY ON 09.03.2016

No. NDNGSA/CE/Cr-5/2016                                                                Date: 09/03/2016

        

          Defence Secretary

Ministry of Defence

Govt. of India

Sub: Submission of memorandum against the 7^th CPC report

            

          Recommendation of 7^th 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 5^th 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.

                    5^th CPC and 6^th 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 6^th CPC which was originally granted to Chargeman in 6^th 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 7^th 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 6^th 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 6^th 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.

Your sincerely                                                                                     Your Sincerely
