Gr B status


                                  Kindly find enclosed copies of the relevant notification and orders issued from PCC to DOP and DOPT.
1. Gazette notification of DOPT order No. 11012/7/2008-Estt(A) dated 9-4-09, under Sl.No.2  GP of 4200/- under PB Band 2 has been classified as non-gazetted Group B.
2. GOI, MOC, DOP lr. No. 4-4/2008-PCC dated 28-4-09 issued from PCC, copy endorsed to all the head of circles under DOP- the relevant copies issued to GM/DAP under CPMG.
3. GOI , MOC, PCC cell lr. No. 4-4/2008-PCC dt. 23-4-09 and corrigendum issued by PCC No. 4-4/2008 PCC dt. 4-5-2009. Please refer to Sl.No. 5 under non-gazetted group B subsequently corrected as Accountant to be read as Sr.Accountant.
                                   On close look and verification of the letters issued by the competent authorities, it is needless to mention that the interpretation arrived from DDG PAF (in spite of gazetted notification issued by DOPT further endorsed by PCC cell of DOP) to address other organised accounts with regards to group B  non-gazetted status for SAs holds no value. The direct implementation of the above said orders of DOPT and DOP has to be implemented without any modification. The persons holding SA post has been categorised to the extent of non-gazetted group B. This particular case for extending the benefits under relevant orders is closed one. It is our firm opinion that DDG PA Wing has no specified authority to deviate from the extended benefit from   DOPT, and from the authority of the PCC cell of DOP.
                                  Hence this association strongly feel that there is no point in beating the dead horse. As such it is hoped that the DDG PA Wing has no option but to declare the SAs as non-gazetted group B. In this connection it is requested that all the relevant notifications of DOPT under PCC cell of DOPT order copies may please be furnished to DDG PAF to formulate the reformed opinion accordingly. In this way a long pending demand which has been lying unnecessarily without having any means, seems to be settled favourably. It is felt that there is no need to pursue further demand of Group B status to SAs as SA post is classified as Group B non-gazetted by DOPT and DOP.  The exact position may be intimated to the Circle Secretaries. Bangalore branch has sent CHQ quota up to 12/2011 ( from September to December 2012, Rs.19,350/-). A hard copy will follow.

  1. Comrade,
    CHQ has long back submitted all these documents to the Member(F) and DDG(PAF). In the strike negotiations, in fact the DDG(PAF)has agreed to de-link the matter with other organised accounts by informing the DOP&T. But finally they have gone back on this point. Recently, Com.Santosh, President(CHQ)during his stay at CHQ discussed this matter with the DDG(PAF)and it was also pointed out that the DOT has already classified their S.As as Gr.B 9(non-gazetted). Finally, it was assured that a positive decision will be taken soon. I am preparing a Circular with all the information.
    Thanks for your interaction feed back.
    With Regards.
    TSN
    General Secretary

  3. Comrade,
    Sorry for the belated reaction and comments on the subject. Let me first appreciate your steadfastness on pursuing this issue. For this Veeresh, Sivanna and the Bangalooru Brigade is second to none. This issue which we have discussed in the CWC held at Cuttack should be achieved. The Odisa Comrades conducted a very memorable CWC. To top it our GS and President have ensured that all the points in the agenda were discussed. Last but not the least each and every Comrade who attended the working committee contributed with their valuable suggestions and ideas. One of the best CWC i have attended.So all these factors culminate to a point that an item that has been discussed in the CWC as the one mentioned here( Gr. B status) will definitely succeed.
    With warm Greetings and wishes for a successful 28 Feb Strike,

    R.B.Suresh,
    Circle Secretary,
    Chennai, Tamilnadu Circle.
