Suggestions requested for demanding higher pay than the supervised

The supervisor should get more pay than the supervised is the global policy accepted and adopted in all departments in the central governments and state Governments. The IPOs/ASPs are supervising the cadres of HSG/1 General Line. Hence our pay should be fixed more than the HSG/1. On this ground it is proposed to place a demand to the Department to upgrade the Grade Pay of

  • IPO      4800/

  • ASPs    5400/
The neglecting of this cadre is costly was the observation of Justice Ratnavel pandian Chairmen Vth pay Commission. The Department is still neglecting our cadre .It will not hear the genuine demand of the Associations. Due to various policies, our sister Association is  not in a passion to chart out any agitational  programs.
Knocking the door of the CAT is the only remedy available to our cadre men.  I wish to submit a memorandum to the Department in a detailed manner comparing some cadres of our Department and other Departments. Could you give your valuable points/suggestions thro comments?
After submitting the memorandum my next move to file a case in the CAT.

Stepping of Pay senior Direct recruit and junior recruit after 01.01.2006.
National Federation of Postal Employees Secretary General Mr.M.Krishanan has written in his website regarding the issue of stepping up of pay Senior Direct recruitees with Junior Direct recruited officials appointed on or after 1.1.2006. We reproduce the content of the post and given with the Office Memorandum links for your information.

Stepping up of pay Senior Direct recruitees with Junior Direct recruited officials appointed on or after 1.1.2006

The Department of Posts vide its letter No. 1-9/2010-PCC (Pt) dt. 14.09.2010 has provided stepping up of pay of senior direct recruited official with that of junior direct recruited official.

(i) Direct recruits like Postman, PA who are appointed prior to 1.1.2006 and gets lesser pay than Direct recruits, they are entitled to step up their pay with that of junior.

(ii) This is not applicable to compare promotees with Direct recruitees.

The Department’s order has partially sorted out the issue. The main issue that minimum pay in the cadre applicable for direct recruits be applied for promotes also is still pending in JCM National Council level.

Let us hope for that also.

No Change in Retirement Age


The Cabinet Secretary K. M. Chandrasekhar today informed that there is no plan to revise the retirement age for Central Government employees. After the sixth pay commission implementation, employees were hoping for the rise in pension age, as doing so can reduce the burden of the additional payment to some extent. However the government decided other stopping all the rumours associated. Shri. K. M. Chandrasekhar clarified that the government has no intentions in changing the retirement age and the current system will be followed. “I tried to find out. But there is no file in (Department of) Expenditure, no file in DOPT (Department of Personnel and Training). There is nothing. It is more of a wishful thinking,” he said in an interview. At present the retirement age for the Central Government employees is 60. He also added that there is no plan to unify the retirement age of the state government staff across the states. “The states will decide their own retirement age,” he said. All states have their own retirement age - starting from 55 years (Kerala) to 60 years (Uttar Pradesh, Assam etc). The Madhya Pradesh government teachers retire at the age of 62 years.
