Sub:
Non drawal of Grade Pay of Rs.5400/- in pre-revised pay scale of Rs.9300-34800
as per the admissible pay band fixture to PS Group B officers working on the
post of Sr. Postmaster.
Respected
Sir,
IP/ASP
Association would like to invite your kind attention to its letter of even
number dated 31/8/2016 vide which it was reported that most of the Director of
Accounts (Postal) in the country has not drawn GP of Rs. 5400/- to the
incumbents working on Sr. Postmaster post w. e. f. 1/1/2016.
In accordance
with the recommendation of 7th Pay Commission and as accepted by the Govt. of
India the pre-revised of Grade Pay of PS Group ‘B’ Officers has been revised
from Rs.4800/ to Rs.5400/- in the pay scale of Rs.9300--34800 in PB-2 w.e.f.
01-01-2016.
It is pertinent
to mention here that none of the officers presently working as Sr Postmasters
were promoted in Sr Postmaster Cadre. Rather they were promoted in PS Group B
Cadre. As such all the Group B officers presently working on the post of Sr.
Postmasters are entitled to Grade Pay benefit of Rs. 5400/- in pre-revised
scale w.e.f. 01.01.2016 and accordingly their pay fixture would be fixed in the
revised matrix. There may be interpretation in understanding the meaning of the
enhancement of GP of PS Gr. B from Rs. 4800/- to 5400/-. Sr. Postmaster cadre
is also a PS Gr. B cadre like ADPS working in RO/CO and Dy. Directors working
under Director GPOs.
It is
therefore once again requested your kind honour to direct all the DAPs/GM
Finances in the Department to allow to draw GP of Rs. 5400/- to Sr. Postmasters
and allowances as appropriate to the grade pay from 01-01-2016.
With regards,
Yours faithfully
Sd/-
(Vilas Ingale)
General Secretary
