• Implementation of Ernakulam CAT Judgement on  IP Grade Pay and Committee on promotional prospects of IP/ASPs :

 This issue was discussed in length and the members expressed their dissatisfaction for linking the issue of upgradation of IP Grade pay with merger of ASP cadre with IP evenafter pronouncement of CAT Judgement. Members opined that cadre restructuring is different from Grade pay upgradation and clubbing of both the issues will not be beneficial to the cadre anyway. CWC resolved to ask the CHQ to tackle both the issues separately without endorsing the Department proposal keeping in view the larger interest of the members. The CWC also acknowledged the efforts made by Sri Permanand and his team in this direction.

• Amendment of Eligibility conditions for appearing Sr Postmaster Examination :

The CWC discussed the issue and opined that the ASPs have been deprived of their legitimate right to appear in Sr Postmaster Examination. All the major circles have maximum number of ASP over Inspectors. The members decided to fight it out legally by filing OA in CAT Hyderabad Bench.
