Anomaly in pay fixation on MACP II

Eg.  Employees getting MACP – 2 promotion on PA/SA cadre this year are fixed at the Basic pay of 50600/- .  Whereas those will be promoted next year will be fixed with the Basic Pay of 47600/-. A single increment difference in service shows three increment differences in new pay matrix.

 Those at Basic pay of 16990 by this 1^st July,  are with basic pay of 44100 , with two addition increments  next year this will goes to 46800/- in 2800 grade pay  and will be sit at the basic pay of 47600/- in 4200 column with a  hike of 800/-.

The issue arises because of the grade pay differences with the multiplication factor in pay matrix table

Postmaster Cadre restructure query to team AIAPC

Dear Team AIAPC....

      We should appreciate your efforts towards the concerns and emotions of the Postmaster cadre. But the information received from DTE is not true and not at all consoling too.

      As a AIAPS team we also moved with directorate we already had received a positive reply. So We are in anguish towards the results of PM Cadre and very exact reason for delaying the PM cadre expressed by the Directorate is very pathetic.

      Query of common postmasters and team AIAPS are produced below. Kindly keep the same too while moving towards this issue.

Sections	Information gathered by AIAPC	Query of Common Postmasters and Team AIAPS
ADG, Estt-1(PE1) Subject: Cadre Restructuring of PM Cadre	Our team visited here basically for Cadre Restructuring of PM Cadre The ADG Est-1 was on leave. During the discussion held at this section, it has come to the notice that the CR process of RMS & SBCO is going on. TeamAIAPC also informed that already an internal meeting was held at the Directorate regarding CR of remaining cadres. In this meeting it was resolved that as PM Cadre has not yet completed its minimum service for 5 yrs required for CR, hence the CR for PM Cadre could not preformed at this time. An extract of DOPT’s instruction in this regard is reproduced below: Cadre review is an important aspect of cadre management. It ensures a healthy balance between the functional requirements of an organisation and legitimate career aspirations of its officers. The thrust of such an exercise is on scientific manpower projection and recruitment planning in order to rationalise the cadre structure as also to enhance efficiency, morale and effectiveness of the service/cadre. In terms of the extant guidelines, ideal periodicity of cadre review is once every five years. However, we have been assured that after completion of RMS & SBCO etc., the CR of PM Cadre will be considered in favourable manner. We provided all of our logics while discussion, but we was advised by the concerned section that all of our anomaly must be re-submitted in proper manner with all grievances at the end of December-2016 or starting of January -2017.	1. If so, PM cadre was introduced during December 2010 itself. Already 5 years 9 months are gone. There is no question of completion of 5 years. 2. If so in the discussions of Cadre restructure of official and staff side PM cadre proposal was also discussed and we already had a bilateral agreement to consider the PM Cadre proposal on the light of the same at par with Group-C. 3. If so Group-C norm based LSG posts would be placed with G.P Rs.4200 but the same norm based LSG posts - PM cadre offices shall be kept with G.P Rs.2800/-.  If so Then same work but different discriminated pay to Postmasters. Isnt it? Why these conflicts?

So Dear team AIAPC....

           You have mentioned that 3 years was wasted by childish manner. If so you are also doing the same running towards court cases instead of functioning under a recognised forum. Already two years wasted by you too. For the past one year single hearing was taken place in the jodhpur court case.

           Above all why not even interim orders hon'ble court was not pressed by your team? Court itself had ordered to not to decide anything about Postmaster cadre until the final outcome of that jodhpur court case in the membership verification process 2015. That order is itself not pressed by the team AIAPC. What is the purpose of court trials are being conducted by you?
