Shri KKN Kutty, Gen Secy of Central Govt Employees,
Sir,
It has noticed from all level of the clerical cadre that no body belongs to the cadre of LDC and UDC are satisfied with the new GP recommended by the 6thCPC. Nowadays, the stafff selection commission decided to fix the minimum qualification of LDC appearing for SSC is to be HS Passed. At present all of the candidate passed the SSC have the vivi knowledge of operating PCs and rendering their job in computer. Further, the minimum qualification of the Gr. D staff is still class VII pass in more events. Ridiculously, if the Gr. D staffs having higher qualification like matriculation avaling the GP of 1900 which is equivalent to LDCs. All of the UDCs and LDC in service are too much worried after DoPT confirmed that no association or organization reperesented in the matter to the DoPT while answering a RTI of some Mr. Achrya. Further, it is to add that the new MACP scheme is harmful for the UDC who have completed their 24yrs. of service before 31.08.2010. If the 6th CPC was not announced at that time they may avail the pay scale of 5000-8000 under the old ACP and also able to avail the GP 4200 as on date. Is that not ridiculous such as a UDC after rendering 26 years of service is only availing a GP of 2800. We are the clerks hereby requesting you to pls take up the matter with utmost importance with the Govt. immediately other wise it will be a great cause of desperation to them.
I am working as senior engineering assistant at door dharshan .I got promotion on 30-10-2006 after completion of 16 years of service.My pay was fixed on 30-10-2006 after adding 3% increment.On 01-01-2006 my feeder post (Engineering assistant)got 4600/- grade pay.For my post also grade pay 4600/-.Due to this reason my increment deducted by my office from 30-10-2006.Whether i am eligible for increment after the decision of item NO.9 of the above
To,
Shri KKN Kutty, Gen Secy of Central Govt Employees,
Sir, it is a matter of great displeasure to learn that the demand for financial upgradation under the MACP Scheme on promotional norms has not been been accepted. Firstly, the LDCs and UDCs have been mis-appropriately placed in the grade pay of Rs 1900/- and 2400/- by the VI CPC and secondly, the hope of getting some respite by grant of financial upgradation on promotional norms has also been turned down. This is highly disappointing that neither the NAC has paid any heed to enhance the grade pay of LCDs/UDCs nor the MACP has considered the legitimate and justified demand to grant financial upgradation on promotional norms. This is a mockery of the terminology `Assured Career Progression’ prefixed with `Modified’ and it apparently implies that the very purpose of introducing this policy has been badly defeated. How can there is a career progression without adhering to promotional criteria? It is totally absurd and a decision taken without application of mind. I am confident that if this point is challenged before the Hon’ble Tribunal, it will be decided as legitimate and justified. However, it will be the last option to resort to. I, therefore, request on behalf of the entire clerical cadre to kindly re-visit the issue in correct perspectives and true spirits, keeping in mind the damage that has already been done to the clerical staff. [Subir, UDC, Agra]
Respected KKN Kutty Sir
thanks for the information! We have been waiting eagerly for pay revision of LDCs and UDCS Ofcourse this meeting is only for the MACP Don’t you think Anomaly has been created by macp poor LDCs and UDCs are at loss after ten years of wait LDC get 100 from 1900 to 2000 while UDC after 10 years of service get 400 2400 to 2800 while those who have got promotion to the post of assistant recently got 4600 grade pay It is injustice to UDC who are being left out. if macp on the basis of post is not acceptable then atleast grade pay should be revised unnecessary two grade pay have come for UDC to reach to the level of Assistant for present UDCs this is not fair Please do convey the geniune problem of this poor cadre hope you will take up to the higher level and bring cheers to all of us
thanks umrao
