Sri VEERAPPA MOILY, Minister for Law & Justice writes to Sri PRANAB MUKHARJI, Minister for Finance recommending to consider higher Grade Pay to AOs/SrAOs

Sri VEERAPPA MOILY, Minister for Law & Justice writes D.O.Letter No DMLJ/VIP/2010/5855 dated 28-10-2010 to Sri PRANAB MUKHARJI, Minister for Finance recommending to consider higher Grade Pay to AOs/SrAOs.
LET all A.Os and Sr.A.Os expect that Finance Minister intervenes to settle their long standing main demand for HIGHER GRADE PAY by using his powers to over ride the negative position taken by the Finance Secretary.
THE PERSUASION BEING ATTEMPTED BY THE LEADERSHIP IS LAUDABLE.

GOOD NEWS to departmental promotees ! Their pay would be hiked on par with their junior Direct Recruitees who were appointed on or after 1-1-2006.

Please CLICK on the CAPTION to get the orders of CBDT

The Central Board of Direct Taxes(Income Tax Department) has considered the representations from Departmental promotees for fixation of pay equivalent to minimum entry pay prescribed for Direct Recruites (appointed on or after 1.1.2006). Also, stepping up of pay of  senior promotees with reference to direct recuit juniors recruited on or after 1.1.2006 and whose basic pay was more than that of their seniors, was considered.

Now, the CBDT has issued ordes to the effect that the stepping up of basic pay of seniors is allowed.  It has been laid down that such stepping up can be claimed only in the case of those cadres which have an direct recruitment and where a directly recruited junior is actually drawing more basic pay than the seniors.  In such cases, the basis pay of seniors will be stepped up w.r.to the basic pay of junior. 

Stepping up will be applicable from the date junior direct recruit actually draws higher basic pay than his senior.

Let us await same kind of clarification from our CAG office. Putting some pressure is needed now.

The issue hence forth will be settled partially only. Some may get relief where a Direct Recruitee is appointed on 1-1-2010. Where such DR is appointed at a later date, the senior Deptl Promotee would get his pay on par with that of DR, neither  w.e.f. 1-1-2006 nor from his date of promotion BUT W.E.F. THE DATE OF APPOINTMENT OF HIS JUNIOR DR [in other words the Deptl Promotees should pray for an appointment of a DR at the earliest in their office AND well before their pay gets enhanced by way of increments, to the level of pay allowed to a DR.

THIS ABONOXIOUS DISPARITY SHOULD BE REMOVED BY THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE TO PROVE IT's CAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND THE ILLOGICAL PAY FIXATIONS THAT SHATTER THE SPIRITS OF Deptl Promotees.

Upgradation of Grade pay of AOs& Sr.AOs:

As you are all aware our Association is vigorously pursuing the issue of Upgradation of Grade pays of AOs & Sr.AOs. In spite of favorable recommendations of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, the Expenditure Secretariat of the Finance Ministry is not prepared to accept our justified demand. This administrative blockade can be removed only by a decision at the political level that is by Finance Minister. Keeping this goal in view the Federation is relentlessly pursuing the matter with the Finance Minister. We have already presented a memorandum to Honorable Finance Minister. We are also presenting our case before as many Cabinet Ministers and Members of Parliament as possible to persuade them to take up our issue with Finance Minister. We have already met Shri.G.K.Vasan, Honorable Minister of Shipping, and Shri.V.Narayanaswamy, Honorable Minister for Planning and Parliament Affairs, who have promised to take up our cause.
