Demand for Grade pay of Rs.4600 for Inspector Posts rejected by MOF once again
Copy of letter of Shri Permanand posted in "Postal Inspectors Blog for Pay hike" is reproduced below for information.
Dear Friends,
It is really sad to intimate that Department of Expenditure, MOF has rejected the demand for grade pay of Rs.4600 to Inspector (Posts) even after the full justification given by Hon’ble CAT Ernakulam Bench in its order dated 18.10.2011 in OA No. 381/2010 and the good viable proposal submitted by DoP. The official rejection letter is yet to be received. However, note sheet of the relevant file has been received under RTI from DoP.
2. As available in the note sheets (17/N), the DoP had sent the following proposal with concurrence of IFW and approval of Secretary (Posts) to Department of Expenditure, MOF:
“The hierarchical difference i.e non-availability of intermediary cadre like AssistantSuperintendent Posts in CBDT/CBEC and CSS can be resolved by allowing Grade Pay of Rs.4600 to Inspector Posts in Department of Posts (a GCS Group B Non-Gazetted Post) and retaining its promotional cadre of Assistant SuperintendentPosts (a GCS Group B Gazetted Post) also in the identical Grade Pay of Rs.4600. In the Accounts cadre, the cadre of Accounts Officer is in Grade Pay of Rs.5400 in PB-2. Its promotional post of Senior Accounts Officer is in Grade Pay of Rs.5400 in PB-3 & its further promotional post of ACAO also in Grade Pay of Rs.5400 in PB-3. This would not thereby involve upgradation in Grade Pays of Assistant SuperintendentPosts and PS Group B.”

RBI cuts CRR: Home and auto loan rates expected to come down
MUMBAI: Your home and auto loan rates are expected to ease after the Reserve Bank of India slashed cash reserve ratio by 25 basis point to 4.50% in its mid quarter review of the monetary policy on Monday. CRR is the minimum proportion of deposits that banks must hold with the central bank. The CRR reduction is expected to inject Rs 17,000 crore liquidity into the banking system.
The move is primarily aimed at managing the tight liquidity expected in the next few weeks on increased currency leakage during the upcoming festive season, and to ensure smooth flow of credit to productive sectors of the economy.
Adequate and sustained liquidity will add to the banking and business confidence. We have seen a concerted reduction in deposit rates and eventually we will see lending rates softening. This will be translated into retail rates as well,'' said Rana Kapoor managing director and chief executive officer, Yes Bank.

Only Retired Judges may head RTI commissions, says Supreme Court
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday edged out "eminent people" from heading commissions under the Right to Information Act by ordering that only sitting or retired chief justices of high courts and SC judges would be appointed as chief information commissioners at both the Centre and the states.
In addition, sitting or retired HC judges should be preferred in appointment of information commissioners, it said, faulting the vague criteria for such appointments provided under the RTI Act.
The bench of Justices A K Patnaik and Swatanter Kumar may have boosted post-retirement opportunities for HC and SC judges by ruling that the information commissions were "judicial tribunals" performing functions of "judicial" and "quasi-judicial" nature and had trappings of a court and should be headed by a judicial mind.
The gain for retired judges would be at the cost of former officials. The Act prescribes appointment of information commissioners from among persons of eminence in public life and those with wide knowledge and experience in the fields specified under the legislation.
