Views/Comments on Revision of Recruitment Rules

Dear friends,

Various Recruitment Rules are being revised/framed and we have to offer our comments/views. Now Army Ordnance Corps has asked the views on RR of Chargeman. Draft RR states that 80% of vacant posts may be filled up by promotion from Highly Skilled Gr-I in GP 2800/- having 06 yrs qualifying service and 20% may be filled up by Direct Recruitment.

In such circumstances, what will happen to Master Craftsman. Whether MCM should be a dead end post or MCM should be promoted to Chargeman (now both are having same Grade Pay Rs. 4200). What will be the effect on the Grade Pay of MCM & Chrageman, if MCM becomes the feeder post for Chargeman. Whether the posts of Chargeman should be filled up by adjustment from transfer of equivalent post (i.e. MCM).

Today, we do not know whether various Directorates/Hqrs of MOD will accept the proposal of Ministry of Defence (ID No.11(5)/2009/D(Civ-I), dated 23.01.2013) which states that the Master Craftsman in the PB-2 plus GP 4200/- may be promoted to the post of JWM/JTO/Foreman in the PB-2 plus GP 4600/-. Hence, kindly send your valuable suggestions to this federation BPMS.

Calculation of Direct Recruitment, LDCE Quota in Merged Grades for Ministerial Staff in Railways

Calculation of Direct Recruitment, LDCE Quota in Merged Grades for Ministerial Staff in Railways – Revised classification and mode of filling up of non-gazetted posts

Implementation of recommendations of 6th CPC – Merger of grades

NFIR
National Federation of Indian Railwaymen

No. 11/6/Pt. 6

Dated: 22/09/2014

The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,
 

Sub: Implementation of recommendations of 6th CPC – merger of grades – revised classification and mode of filling up of non-gazetted posts – scheme for filling up of vacancies after 31/12/2013.
Ref: (i) Railway Board’s letter No. E(NG)I-2008/PM1/15 dated 03/09/2009, extended upto 31/12/2014 vide Board’s letter dated 16/06/2014.

(ii) Railway Board’s letter No. E(NG)l-2008PM1/15 dated 07/08/2014.

(iii) GS/NFIR’s letter No.II/Pt. 5 dated 08/09/2014.

Federation desires to invite kind attention of the Railway Board to letter dated 03/09/2009, referred to above, wherein it was decided that promotion to all vacancies as existed on 31/08/2009 should be granted as indicated in the enclosure to the said letter. In para 3 of the said letter, it has further been mentioned that the scheme for filling up vacancies arising on or after 01/09/2009 will be issued in due course in consultation with the Federations. Currency of these instructions has been extended by the Railway Board from time to time, the latest extension covers vacancies upto 31/12/2014 vide Board’s letter dated 16/06/2014.

2. NFIR vide letter No.II/6/Pt. 5 dated 08/09/2014 has conveyed protest against arbitrary decision of Railway Board (Board’s letter dated 07/08/2014) to calculate DR, LDCE quota etc., in the merged grades based on Board’s letter dated 03/09/2009. The Federation has also highlighted the harm being done to staff pointing out the case of Technical Supervisors belonging to JE, SSE.

3. Further to above NFIR wishes to state that the Federation has been receiving grievances from ministerial staff as well whose promotional avenues have also been effected adversely as can be seen from the following position:

PREVIOUS (Vth CPC)		REVISED (VIth CPC)
DESIGNATION	QUOTA	DESIGNATION/PB-GP	QUOTA	VARIATION	SHOULD BE
Head Clerk 5000-8000	100% Promotion	Office Supdt.PB-2 GP 4200	20% LDCE	+10%	10% LDCE
Office Supdt-II 5500 – 9000	20% LDCE 80% Promotion	Office Supdt.PB-2 GP 4200	80% Promotion	-10	90% Promotion
Office Supdt.16500-10500	100% Promotion	Chief O.S. PB-2 GP 4600	100% Promotion	-	100% Promotion
Chief O.S. 7450-11500	100% Promotion	Chief O.S. PB-2 GP 4600	100% Promotion	-	100% Promotion

It can be seen that 20% quota vacancies against LDCE quota in the category of OS/GP 4200 have wrongly been enhanced to 20% of total of V CPC pay scale posts which is improper.

The percentage needs to be brought down to 10%. NFIR, therefore, once again requests the Railway Board to review and withdraw the instructions issued vide Board’s letter dated 07/08/2014 and hold discussions with the Federation.

Yours faithully,

Sub:- Filling up of vacancies of Sr.SO(A/cs) Sr.ISA and Sr.TIA Grade Rs.9300-34800 / Grade Pay Rs.4800/-through direct recruitment.

There are large number of vacancies of supervisory staff (Sr.SO/A/cs, Sr.TIA and Sr.ISA), of Accounts department on Railways. Shortage of the supervisory staff has resulted in accumulation of arrears, internal checks in Accounts Offices, Stations and Stores depots which is hampering the mandatory internai check mechanism and efficiency of Accounts department.

Despite arranging intensive training for departmental examination (Appendix-3 IREM) to aspiring candidates, sufficient number of candidates are not qualifying the examination. In this regard some of the Railways have approached Board’s office for recruitment of supervisory staff of Accounts department through RRBs. In order to meet with the situation, it is proposed to till 50% of the existing vacancies (as on 1/1/14) of Sr.SO/A/cs, Sr.TIA and Sr.ISAs through direct recruitment as a one-time measure. Similar course was adopted in the past for tilling up of posts of TIAs on N F Railway.

The existing staff will also be eligible for appearing in the proposed special recruitment in terms of para 115(iv) of Board’s letter no. E(NG)-II/2001/RR-1/35 dated 17/12/02 (RBE 221/2002) to appear in the recruitment examination of supervisory staff of Accounts department through RRB as departmental candidates.

Your considered views are solicited in the matter.

FAX/SPEED POST

OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL CONTROLLER OF ACCOUNTS (FYS)
10-A, S. K. BOSE ROAD, KOLKATA-700 001

No. Pay/Tech-I/01(6th CPC)/2013/Cir-18

Date: 24/06/2013

To
All Group Controllers

Subject: Stepping up of pay to the direct recruit JWMs at par with junior

References have been received by this office regarding stepping up of pay to the directly recruited JWMs through UPSC at par with those JWMs who had been placed at the same grade by virtue of merger of posts of AF and JWM as per 6th CPC, in the light of DOPT OM No. 200020/4/2010-Estt.(D) dtd 13.9.2012.
In this connection, it may be stated that ibid DOPT order has defined only the seniority position of Govt. servants as on 29-08-2008 in respect of holder of post having higher pay scale or post which constituted promotion post for the posts in the feeder grade vis-a-vis to those holding post having lower pay scale or posts in feeder grade but placed w.e.f 1.1.2006 to the higher post due to merger of posts. The clarification thus effectively defines placement of Govt. servant who got the benefit of merger below the Govt. servants who were already holder of the higher post prior to the date of implementation of 6th CPC i.e, 29.8.2008. However, such seniority to the holder of the post does not entitle them any stepping up of pay benefit as pay of the juniors hove been fixed based on the pay they already earned by virtue of their service.

Attention is also invited in this regard to clause 2(e) of GOI decision no.23 under FR 22 where it has been clearly stated that “where a person promoted from lower to a higher post, his pay is fixed with reference to the pay drawn by him in the lower post under FR-22 1(a)(i) and he is likely to get more pay than a direct appointee whose pay is fixed under different set of rules. In such cases, the senior direct recruit cannot claim pay parity with the junior promoted from a lower post to higher post as seniority alone is not a sole criteria for allowing stepping up”.

Keeping in view of the above, it is felt not to extend stepping up benefit in such type of cases.
Br. AOs under your control may please be intimated accordingly.

C of A (Fys) has been consulted.
