Sub:- Pay Fixation benefit to Fast
Track LSG officials promoted after getting TBOP / BCR - reg
Respected Comrade,
This has a kind reference to
Directorate letter No.20-27/2015-SPB.II, dated 20.08.2018 where in 3% pay
fixation benefit has been allowed to the Inspector of Posts who were promoted
through LDCE after availing MACP on the analogy that Inspector of Posts is not
a regular promotion hierarchy of Postal Assistant and they become IPs only on
attaining merit in competitive examination.
Secondly, 3% pay fixation benefit was
also allowed to the Inspector of Posts
on promotion to Assistant Superintendent of Posts since the later carries
higher duties and responsibilities than that of IPs vide Directorate letter
No.2-12/2013-PCC(Pt), dated 23.10.2018.
Similarly, on the above analogy,
Directorate has now ordered vide its letter No. 20-27/2015-SPB.II, dated
18.10.2018 for 3% pay fixation benefit
to Postal Assistants who have been promoted to Postmaster Grade – I.
Under the circumstances, it is
pertinent to intimate that according to the Para (b) (i) of
Directorate letter No.137-10/96-SPB-II, dated 11.02.2002, the eligibility
length of service for selection to LSG through Departmental Merit Examination
(66.66% quota) under Fast Track Promotion Scheme was 10 years in P A / S A
grade. Similarly, Para-8 of Directorate
letter No. 137-10/96-SPB-II, dated 28th January, 2003 states that an
official who has been given BCR scale (5000 – 8000 ) may be given the option
for being considered for promotion to LSG. Thus, BCR was also the feeder cadre
to LSG under FTPS, 2002. In addition, Para-9 of Directorate letter No.
137-10/96-SPB-II, dated 28th January, 2003 states that selection of TBOP / BCR officials
for LSG norm based posts is to be treated as placement.
But unfortunately, pay fixation benefit was not extended to those
officials who qualified the Fast Track Promotion Scheme after getting TBOP /
BCR and joined in LSG Cadre though they came through merit appearing the LDCE
and were promoted to LSG cadre which carries higher duties and responsibilities
than that of Postal Assistants.
If Postmaster Grade – I officials, IPs and ASPOs are eligible for pay
fixation benefit even after getting MACP because of the reason that their
promotional post carries higher duties and responsibilities and they have
promoted through LDCE, then it is quite evident that officials promoted to LSG through
Departmental Merit Examination (66.66% quota) under Fast Track Promotion Scheme
after getting financial up-gradation under TBOP / BCR Scheme are also eligible
for 3% pay fixation
benefit.
Therefore, it is requested kindly to
take up the issue at Directorate level and arrange to give justice to thousands
of Fast Track LSG officials who have been deprived of getting the benefit of
pay fixation in almost all Circles / Divisions.
Awaiting your immediate kind response.
With greetings.
Comradely
yours,
( BRUHASPATI SAMAL)
Circle Secretary
Copy for kind
information and necessary action to the Secretary General, National Federation
of Postal Employees, North Avenue Post Office Building, New Delhi – 110 001.
