proceedings of the meeting of the committee for looking into promotional prospects of IPOs/ASPOs constituted under the Chairpersonship of Member(P) held on 03.11.2011 posted in CHQ Blog are reproduced below.
As notified by the Department, I (G.S) along with Sh. Dinesh Khare, President and Sh. Hari Mohan, CS, Punjab Circle Branch attended the meeting. The same was held under the chairpersonship of the Member(P).
It was apprised to us that data called from Circles on 20-10-2011 has not been received so far from Bihar, J&K, Rajasthan, UP& Uttrakhand Circles.It was disclosed by the official side that about 500 posts of ASP will be upgraded into PS Group"B" cadre and remaining posts of ASP will be amalgamated with the posts of IP in order to make it comparable with the Inspectors in CBDT/CBEC and to allow GP of Rs.4600/- for the amalgamated cadre. At present, 1765 incumbents are working in ASP Grade.
On our demand for allowing Gazetted status for the existing incumbents as on date in ASP grade, it was categorically made clear by the Chairperson that it is not possible to allow the same. However, she agreed to allow nomenclature of ASP without Gazetted Status for the present incumbents. By creation of additional posts in PS Group "B' cadre, the existing incumbents in ASP Grade will get absorbed in Group'B' cadre to the extent of 500 posts and some of them get retired over a period of time so that within a span of 4 years there will no ASP Grade in IP cadre and only feeder cadre of IP with GP of Rs.4600/- will remain for promotion to PS Group"B"/Sr. Postmaster as in case of other analogous post of CBDT/CBEC.
It was agreed that next meeting will be fixed only after the All India Conference at Bangalore during Jan 2012. In that meeting, the Association has to submit its proposal in black and white on the issue of merger of IP&ASP with Non Gazetted status in the larger interest of the IP cadre.
We are of the view that this is the right opportunity to get restructuring of the IP cadre and also to increase its promotional avenues in the larger and long run benefit to cadre in the form of MACP.
Hon'ble CAT Ernakulam Bench verdict is going to be implemented or not? If implemented we may bargain for some other good prospects for the cadre since the major demand of GP upgradation problem solved.
ReplyDeleteSir, it is a good proposal.ASP AND IPs functions in the field are similar and same.GP 4600/- is quite justified as we are demanding parity with other inspectors in other organisations.Of cours,to implement the measure,assn may bargain
ReplyDeletemore number of existing ASP post say 800 to 1000
against1765 there by pave way to implement the measure immdtlyinstead of postponing things. Individual anomolies ifany can be settled by anomolies committee. tnq
This discrimination is not fair at all. Out of 1765, only 500 ASPOs will get gazetted status. It means those 1265 ASPOs will be victims of evil tactics of some divisional supdts to frame conspiracy against them and issuing chargesheets for trivial reasons. The main reason for protesting behind surrendering the gazetted status is change of disciplinary authority.
ReplyDeleteIf 500 ASPOs will be given gazetted status. How the selection will be done because ASPOs is circle level post. So is it possible that IPO in one circle gets PS Gr.B and ASPOs in other circle being junior will remain non-gazetted?
