DEPARTMENT OF POSTS
Assistant Superintendent Post Office (ASPOs)
7.6.7 Upgradation for the post of Assistant Superintendent Post Office (ASPOs) on par with Assistant Director (Marketing), who is in the pay scale of Rs.7500-12000, has been demanded. The
Commission has addressed this demand in para 7.6.14.
Artisans
7.6.8 Restructuring of the category of Artisans in Mail Motor Service has been demanded. It is observed that Technical Supervisors are diploma holders in automobiles and are in the pay scale of Rs.4500-7000. Their entry post of Artisan Grade II is in the pay scale of Rs.4000-6000 which is identical to that of Artisan Grade I eventhough the latter is a feeder post for promotion to the former. Technical Supervisors being diploma holders need to be extended the higher scale of Rs.5000-8000. On account of restructuring of pay structure, the post will be placed in the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs.4200 corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.6500-10500. Artisans Grade I will then be upgraded to the pay scale of Rs.4500-7000 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-1 of Rs.4860-20200 along with grade pay of Rs.2800. This revised structure will remove all the present problems in the hierarchical structure. The post of Charge hand that is presently in the pay scale of Rs.4500-7000 shall be merged with that of Artisan Grade I in the same pay scale corresponding to revised pay band PB-1 of Rs.4860-20200 along with grade pay of Rs.2800.
Assistant Director (Recruitment)
7.6.9 Higher pay scale has been demanded for the post of Assistant Director (Recruitment). The post is presently in the pay scale of Rs.6500-10500. The pay scales of Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 are being merged in the restructuring of pay scales being recommended by the Commission. The post shall, accordingly, be placed in the next higher pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with a grade pay of Rs.4600 that corresponds to the existing pay scale of Rs.7450-11500.
Medical store keepers and Laboratory Technicians
7.6.10 Higher pay scales have been sought for the categories of Medical Store Keepers and Laboratory Technicians in Postal Dispensaries. The Commission has considered these categories in
Chapter 3.8. The recommendations made therein shall be extended to these categories as well.
Statistical Assistant
7.6.11 Higher pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 has been sought for one post of Statistical Assistant. The scales of Rs. 5000-8000, Rs. 5500-9000 and Rs. 6500-10500 are being merged. No further upgradation is functionally justified. The post shall, accordingly, be placed in the corresponding revised pay band and grade pay.
Indian Postal Service Group A
7.6.12 Various demands have been raised by officers belonging to Indian Postal Service Group A and Postal Service Group B. Issues relating to officers of organized Group A service are discussed in Chapter 3.3 of the Report. No separate recommendations are necessary in this Chapter.
Indian Postal Service Group B
7.6.13 Better promotional prospects have been demanded by Postal Officers Group B. An integrated pay structure for the posts in JTS and STS has also been sought. The Commission has recommended running pay bands and percentage increments. This will ensure continued progression as well as an increase in the amount of increment available every year. This, along with the Modified Assured Career Progression being recommended by the Commission, will effectively alleviate all stagnation. In the scheme of running pay bands, one single pay band PB-3 of Rs.15600-39100 has been proposed for the posts from Junior Time Scale to the Senior Administrative Grade which will also include the posts in Senior Time Scale. Postal officers of Accounts Division have demanded higher pay bands on par with Central Secretariat Service. The issues relating to organized accounts cadre are discussed in Chapter 7.56 of the Report concerning Indian Audit and Account Department. Recommendations made therein shall apply to the all organized accounts cadres including the one existing in Department of Posts. No separate recommendations are, therefore, necessary.
Inspector (Posts)
7.6.14 Postal Inspectors in Department of Posts have demanded a higher pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 on par with Inspectors and analogous posts in CBDT/CBEC as well as Assistants of Central Secretariat Service (CSS) on the ground that they are recruited through the same examination. The Commission is recommending the merger of pre-revised pay scales of Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500- 10500 which will automatically bring Inspector (Posts) on par with Assistants in CSS/Inspectors and analogous posts in CBDT and CBEC. With this upgradation, Inspector (Posts) shall come to lie in an identical pay scale as that of their promotion post of Assistant Superintendent (Posts) [ASPOs]. ASPOs shall, accordingly, be placed in the next higher pay scale of Rs.7450-11500 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs.4600. The next higher post in the hierarchy, that of Superintendent (Post), which is also a promotion post for ASPOs, shall be placed in the pay scale of Rs.7500-12000 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs.4800. Parity exists between the posts of Inspector (Posts) and Inspectors in Mail Motor Service (MMS). This parity would need to be maintained and Assistant Manager, Mail Motor Service shall be placed in the higher grade of Rs.7450-11500 whose corresponding replacement pay band and grade pay is PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with a grade pay of Rs.4600. Similarly, Manager, Mail Motor Service shall be placed in PB-2 pay band of Rs.8700-34800 along with a grade pay of Rs.4800 which corresponds to the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.7500-12000.
Lower Selection Grade, Higher Selection Grade II & I
7.6.15 Higher pay scales have been sought for LSG (Lower Selection Grade), HSG-II (Higher Selection Grade) and HSG-I officers. No anomaly exists in the present pay structure of these posts. However, on account of the proposed restructuring of pay bands, a higher grade would need to be extended to HSG-I. The post of HSG-I should, therefore, be placed in the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs.4600 corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.7450-11500. The other posts shall be extended only the corresponding replacement
pay band and grade pay.
Dispensaries in Department of Posts
7.6.16 Department of Posts presently runs departmental Dispensaries in some cities and towns. The employees of postal department posted in these cities are not eligible for CGHS facilities. Demands have been received that these employees should also be given the option for being covered under the CGHS, particularly after they have retired. The issue was discussed with Department of Posts which has stated that a proposal was sent to Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for merging these Dispensaries with CGHS, but no action has been taken so far. There is strong merit in the proposal made by the Department. The Commission, therefore, recommends that all the Dispensaries presently being run in Department of Posts should immediately be merged with CGHS and all postal employees be covered under the CGHS scheme, wherever available. This facility should also be extended to the retired postal employees.
Postman and Mail Guard
7.6.17 Historical parity has existed between the post of Constable in CPOs and the analogous post of Mail Guard in Railway Mail Service and Postman in Department of Posts. The Commission has recommended that all the Constable in CPOs shall be placed in the revised PB - I of Rs.4860-20200 along with grade pay of Rs.2000. The in Department of Posts and the analogous post of Mail Guard in Railway Mail Service should also be similarly upgraded and placed in the pay scale of Rs.3200-4900 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-1 of Rs.4860-20200 along with grade pay of Rs.2000.
Translation officer (French)
7.6.18 Post of Translation Officer (French) exists in the scale of Rs.6500-10500. It is an isolated post. Higher scale of Rs.8000-13500 has been demanded for the post. The minimum qualification, prescribed for the post includes a Post Graduate degree. The post is, therefore, similar to that of PGTs, who are proposed to the upgraded to Rs.7500-12000. A similar dispensation may be needed in this case also. It is, therefore, recommended that the post be placed in the scale of Rs.7500-1200 Corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs.4800.
Post Office & Railway Motor Service (PO & RMS) Accountants Cadre
7.6.19 Accountants of this cadre have demanded parity with organised Accounts cadres. No functional justification exists for the same. The parity with organized Accounts cadres is, therefore, not recommended. The special allowance of Rs.180 presently given to them may be doubled.
Sports Inspectors
7.6.20 Post of Sports Inspectors exists in the scale of Rs.4500-7000. They have demanded parity with Inspectors of Post Offices and RMS who have been given the scale of Rs.5500-9000. No anomaly exists in their pay scales. Their cadre is not similar to that of Inspectors of Post Office & RMS, either functionally or as per the hierarchical structure. Only replacement pay band and grde pay may, therefore, be extended in their case. Further, Department of Posts should look into the continued necessity of continuing with these posts.
System Administrators & Marketing Executives
7.6.21 Postal Assistants assigned the jobs of System Administrators & Marketing Executives have demanded creation of a new cadre with higher pay scales. Creation of a new cadre I their case is not functionally justified. The Commission, in any case, is not looking into demands relating to individual cadre reviews. Status-quo may, therefore, need to be maintained especially because the existing scenario allows usage of available manpower for need based multifarious functions.
