RECOMMENDATIONS OF 7TH CPC ON LEAVE TRAVEL CONCESSION(LTC)

LTC is granted to Central Government employees to facilitate home travel as well as travel to different parts of the country. Presently two hometown visits are allowed in a block of four years with one hometown visit substitutable with “All India” visit. However, for the first two 4-year blocks, three hometown visits and one “All India” visit are permissible. LTC is not granted to an employee whose spouse is working in Indian Railways. There are demands to increase the frequency of LTC, especially of the “All India” visit, and extend LTC to foreign countries also. Personnel posted on islands have requested the Commission that splitting of hometown LTC may be permitted so that their families can visit them from the mainland once a year and they (the employees) can also travel to the mainland once a year to visit the family. Personnel of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) have sought parity with other CAPFs for facility of Additional LTC.

APPEAL TO ALL INDIA ASSOCIATION OF POSTMASTER CADRE CIRCLE / CHQ BODY

DEAR AIAPC CIRCLE AND CHQ BODY MEMBERS,

                 WE ARE ALL IN IMMENSE STRESS AFTER THE RETROGRADE RECOMMENDATIONS OF 7TH CPC, AND THE POSTMASTER CADRE IS ALSO ONE AMONG THE VICTIMIZED CADRE.

          WE ARE RECEIVING SO MANY REPRESENTATION FROM THE MEMBERS OF AIAPC AGAINST PM CADRE IS NOT PLACED IN LEGITIMATE G.P RS4200/-, PROMOTIONAL PAY HIKES ARE ALSO NOT SIGNIFICANT EXCEPT Sr.PM EXAMS APPEARANCE.

     STAFF SIDE NC/JCM HAS ALREADY GIVEN THE PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE TO FIX AN APPOINTMENT TO DISCUSS ABOUT THE 7TH CPC RECOMMENDATIONS. 

       IN THE SAME SCENARIO TAMILNADU CIRCLE - AIAPC TEAM ALSO REQUESTING THE CHQ TO SEEK APPOINTMENT TO PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE BEFORE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF 7TH CPC RECOMMENDATIONS. 

WHY POSTAL ASSISTANTS HAVE NOT FIXED WITH UDC G.P Rs.2800/- LDC/UDC CONFLICTS FOUND IN 7TH CPC REPORT

LDC-UDC ISSUE - GOVERNMENT STAND REITERATED

      On the issue of LDC/UDC 7th Pay Commission reiterated the deceiving stand of the Government. Despite of realizing the issue as genuine, Government had not taken a positive decision at their level. The tens of thousands of LDC & UDC, solely responsible for the smooth running of many of the subordinate offices, were hoping that 7th Pay Commission will study the problem faced by them and take a positive decision. Staff Side JCM having convinced the importance of the issue, had also recommended merger & upgradation of the Grade Pay of LDC & UDC to Rs. 2800. But here we see that 7th Pay Commission has not taken any decision on the issue except giving some confusing and misleading statements to vindicate the stand taken by the Government as true. 

      Extracts of some of their views on LDC UDC issue spread over various chapters of the reports is given below:

      Higher GP 2400 to LDC and consequent upgradation of pay for other civilian posts in the Ministerial hierarchy.

Paramilitary forces unhappy with 7th CPC recommendations

The seventh pay commission has largely made the central government employees cheerful but central paramilitary forces officials are not really happy with some of the recommendations. 

ToI spoke to several central paramilitary - ITBP, CRPF, SSB, BSF and CISF officials in different ranks who expressed displeasure with the fact that they have not been given special allowances on the lines of 'defence' forces even though they work in tougher conditions and round the clock. 

The central paramilitary forces (CPMFs) have reportedly grown to a strength of 9.80 lakh personnel from 7.66 lakh since sixth pay commission and are likely to take over army's strength (of close to 12 lakh) in coming 5 to 7 years, but officials argue that they have still been placed in the "civil" category even though their work profile ranges from guarding the border, managing tense situations, fighting the naxals and insurgent groups in different areas on the tough terrains.

Report of 7 CPC: A comparative study for POSTMASTER CADRE

It is disappointing that Postmaster Grade-I has not been upgraded to 4200, which was expected. It has dissatisfied us as well as our fellow brothers. When we represented our matter at the office of the 7 CPC, they were asking us as to whether any provision for direct recruitment in our Recruitment Rules. But there is no such provision in our recruitment rules. At that very moment we didn't have any scope to show anything in our favour except comparison with IPOs and LSG upto 4 CPC which is now outdated glory.

Provision for direct recruitment is the main reason / criteria of higher pay for PAs from 3200 (as per then assumption of Gr-C unions) to Rs 4000 in 5 CPC and IPOs (5500) in 5 CPC & 4600 in  7 CPC. They fought repeated legal battles in CAT for 4600 and won. So we should not be so sentimental ignoring the fact behind non-upgradation of Gr-I Postmasters,
